That was tremendous, but I will say that decision by Lauren Pearce to kick sideways after getting the free kick at the end could have been one fo the all-time blunders had Brisbane kicked a goal at the end.

    Awesome win today. Gutsy performance in a real combative match. We won the contest most of the day and got the job done. Great effort girls!

    Heres hoping they win next week and raise the cup on the G!

    Absolutely stoked.  Loved the effort, loved the desire.

    Like many around here, I’ve been saying ever since our AFL win, that I wanted the ‘double’.  We are now only one step away from really putting ourselves on the Aussie Rules map.

    Noticed that the clock didn't restart for five seconds. So it was a final 41 seconds of play.

    I actually yelled out “what are you doing Lauren” as she started looking around. Bizarre choice and lucky it didn’t come back to cost us.

    It was the right option but she took way too long then had a half back flanker run by and get in her way.

    Absolutely burn the tapes of the last 5 minutes. It was a disaster. Everything that could go wrong trying to ice the clock did.

    But they played incredible footy in the 3rd and start of the 4th to get that buffer

    Would be extremely ironic if we were to win away from home and members again.

    Bring it home girls!!!!!!

    Colvin was exception. Heath unreal. Goldy just got stronger as the game went on.

    Paxy found space, Bannan found the paddock and off she went.

    Loved Zanker’s work as a back up ruck.

    Daisy was involved in everything good. Just so strong at the fundamentals.

    And Megan Fitzsimon was really important too.

    There’s some simple stuff they can do with Kate Hore and especially Tayla to get them going I think. If those two can find their best form we can go to another level.

    14 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

    Solid crowd at 6500

    I think there’d be more than a few that were disappointed with that crowd. Free entry, first crack at finals, grand final on the line. I understand it was really miserable weather but I didn’t feel the club and the AFL pumped it up enough. 

    I would’ve hoped for 10k+ in these circumstances. 

    Anyway I’ll go to positive now, what a great achievement for the girls and club. So proud of them, they played like the MFC across the board. We have built a culture and that goes from Casey Mens, to AFLW, to the mens team. So glad a few of the boys were there to watch it. 

    McNamara’s goal could’ve been our best of the weekend were it not for Langdon. Paxman was tireless as always, and Bannan has some serious jets on her. Adelaide are a very good side and as I speak seem to be doing a number on Freo, so hopes of a home GF look extremely unlikely. But either way we are in it, and if we play our best it stacks up. 

    What a great time our club is having. Keep your eye on the red and blue!

    Yep definitely lost our heads then, she seemed to play on thinking get it forward and then realised she should ice the game, and then split the different and kicked it straight to a Lions player!

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
