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!

    First Melbourne premiership captain in 58 years to hold the cup up at the 'G (if freo win this afternoon 🤞🏻)

    That'd be awesome.

    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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
