Strangely I still think we are a chance. As the game opens up more we can run them off their feet. Put shelly Scott to FF and Harris to CHF. Randall is in her head.

    Fantastic last year and another who's done nothing this year.

    And that's the trick, run run run.

    Adelaide far cleaner.

    She's had such a sub standard year this year. She can be a real weapon for us in the past but she just seems off

    I don't rate Zanker at all the way she currently plays. To me, she's like a big unbroken horse (not in any way a physical comparison - just in terms of attitude and demeanour) - but no one can make her behave sensibly. Obvious power and skill, but cannot reign it in to be of benefit to the team. Just goes the don't argue, see ball get ball at all opportunities.

    Need to move it more quickly. Run and kick.

    Crows setup is strong and composed.  Defenders ready for standard kick.  

    Skills of AFLW don’t support high possessions game.  Just run run and run and kick. Overlap run.  

    Crows are very very good contested footy team.  

    who can win it ? TAYLA Harris.

    We’re still a chance.  Go Dees

    You reckon a few more handpasses will fix our issues, or a bit of talking? A lot of our problems in this game relate to game plan - you need a lot of chin wagging to come up with a new gameplan on the fly...

    Crows get forever to dispose of the ball. Other thing is we just do not show accountability.

    should have moved the ball on quickly to bannon there rather the waiting and kicking to the 2 on 1. This slow play is getting us nowhere

    We're simply not fit enough to beat Adelaide. 

    You can't beat a side that runs that much harder than you that you're always outnumbered.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      There was a time during the current Melbourne cycle that goes back to before the premiership when the club was the toughest to beat in the fourth quarter. The Demons were not only hard to beat at any time but it was virtually impossible to get the better them when scores were close at three quarter time. It was only three or four years ago but they were fit, strong and resilient in body and mind. Sadly, those days are over. This has been the case since the club fell off its pedestal about 12 months ago after it beat Geelong and then lost to Carlton. In both instances, Melbourne put together strong, stirring final quarters, one that resulted in victory, the other, in defeat. Since then, the drop off has been dramatic to the point where it can neither pull off victory in close matches, nor can it even go down in defeat  gallantly.

    • CASEY: Footscray

      At twenty-four minutes into the third term of the game between the Casey Demons and Footscray VFL at Whitten Oval, the visitors were coasting. They were winning all over the ground, had the ascendancy in the ruck battles and held a 26 point lead on a day perfect for football. What could go wrong? Everything. The Bulldogs moved into overdrive in the last five minutes of the term and booted three straight goals to reduce the margin to a highly retrievable eight points at the last break. Bouyed by that effort, their confidence was on a high level during the interval and they ran all over the despondent Demons and kicked another five goals to lead by a comfortable margin of four goals deep into the final term before Paddy Cross kicked a couple of too late goals for a despondent Casey. A testament to their lack of pressure in the latter stages of the game was the fact that Footscray’s last ten scoring shots were nine goals and one rushed behind. Things might have been different for the Demons who went into the game after last week’s bye with 12 AFL listed players. Blake Howes was held over for the AFL game but two others, Jack Billings and Taj Woewodin (not officially listed as injured) were also missing and they could have been handy at the end. Another mystery of the current VFL system.

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.
