We should be playing at Casey as the G is too neutral which will aid the bears. Casey has been a fortress.

No l disagree. The MCG will be our home ground from next year and need to start building home ground advantage. It would not surprise me if the girls became curtain raisers at the G for some games next year although l know they are resisting. The economics just make sense as does full integration to make little difference b/w the girls and boys teams. Good for supporters too!

 

I'm super nervous.

Brisbane are very tough opponents. It will require a huge effort from the girls today to win

3 week break not ideal. Playing at the G, while fantastic for the womens game and a great opportunity to showcase our team, disadvantages us. Casey has been our fortress

It's a 50/50 game but this team has plenty of heart and guts. I reckon they'll get the job done ..just

Go Dees 

Come on Dees here is hoping for a win and another step closer to our second premiership in such a short space of time.


Yes it's a real debate Casey our home ground advantage but I can't help thinking about the great footy ( against admittedly an under strength Freo) on the big stage at Optus.

Let's be positive and this gritty and resourceful team can win no matter what. Belief is high and confidence also.

Go Dees your inspiration are our mighty 2021 male heroes. 

Apologies for the negativity but I think Brisbane will be too good for us - too quick, skilled and even across the park. On the plus side last week I also predicted that Sam Weideman had played his last game for the AFL side so what do I know. 

Well I'm feeling another flag coming on.
Season has panned out very similarly to the men last year.
Go get it girls.

 

This is a last minute call out to Dees fans on the fence about going today. Please get there, the girls have had a great year and deserve to have a big Dees crowd for them. 

Gonna be some rough weather today by the look. Unfortunately I’m expecting a pretty poor crowd as a result. I’m gonna suffer through it though to be a part of history and see the girls scrub a mighty win in the wet.

I am talking about us winning a prelim final. Casey is better. Backsides on seats or looking for next year is irrelevant.

Since when is the MCG going to be the girls home ground from next year. First I have heard of it.

BOM saying 10% chance of rain…well Meggs is feeling a few sprinkles already.  It’s also quite blustery in here.  Nothing like the Optus Stadium conditions of Round 9.   

ps the PA is most certainly working….

Unfortunately I'm away for weekend but it would be good to have been there. I hope the girls win.

I'd love to see Daisy win a flag & hold the cup up. 

I’m really nervous (more so than last night), but over the journey I reckon we’ve earned a Grand Final berth.


You get excellent value out of a first goal scorer bet in the ladies footy


Woo Hoo ... Bannan's a gun.

 

Umps hopeless 

 

Brisbane harder around the ball and a little cleaner in slippery conditions.

  • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

    Melbourne and Hawthorn who face off against each other this week have more in common than having once almost merged and about to wear a blue jumper with a red v triangle and an embroidered picture of a bird on the front. They also share the MCG as their main home ground, their supporters are associated with the leafy suburbs of Melbourne and in recent times, James Frawley graced the colours of both teams. Even more recently, both have bounced back from disastrous five game losing streaks to start off a season. Of course, the Hawks turned their bounce into a successful leap from the bottom of the ladder into a finals appearance, making it to the semifinals in 2024 and this year, they’re riding high in third place on the AFL table. The Demons are just three games into their 2025 bounce back, and are yet to climb their way out of the bottom four although they are sitting a game and percentage out of the top eight. However, with the current sportsbet odds of $3.90 to win this week’s encounter, it seems a forlorn hope that their upward progression will continue much longer.

  • REPORT: West Coast

    On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

  • PREGAME: Hawthorn

    The Demons return to the MCG to take on the High Flying Hawks on Saturday Afternoon. Hawthorn will be aiming to consolidate a position in the Top 4 whilst the Dees will be looking to take a scalp and make it four wins in a row. Who comes in and who goes out?

  • POSTGAME: West Coast

    Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
