We've played the Lions, Crows and North. With ourselves that's the likely top 4.

The only other top 8 side we play for the rest of the year is the Doggies and they've had a soft fixture so far. They're a borderline finals team. Plenty of opportunity for us to improve our percentage

If we avoid injuries and maintain half decent form we should win all our remaining games. Hopefully the Lions drop a game or 2 along the way (they still have North, Crows and Collingwood to play)

The one player we can't replace is Harris. If we are to win it this year she will be to the fore. West has been a revelation and Purcell excellent. They have added much need grunt to our engine room.

We're in good shape

Wow the Bulldogs have had an easy run - Giants, Port, Freo and Hawthorn - 4 of the 5 bottom sides. The only top 8 team they have played is North and they lost.

Lions coughed one up today against Richmond

Top spot there for the taking

Well done Richmond.  Kept Brisbane down in the leaders pack. 18 points to 14!!!

Starce suggested they may have been a bit too pleased with themselves after beating us last week.

Some unbelievably lopsided games, messing with %, could upset final ladder positions!

Great news. I was fearing what the "personal reasons" for her absence could be, but this is surely the very best result. You can feel the love (and surprise!) in that room!

I love the “we were playing with an extra person on the field last Saturday” line. Had all the girls stumped. 😂

Case in point… Yesterday’s annihilation of the Giants. 
😬


A great win today against a much improved Freo. Hopefully they can bring the same intensity against the Crows next week

In terms of the run home:

Crows play Freo and Lions next with the Cats and Saints to finish

Lions have to play North, Crows, Hawks and Pies.

Pies have Giants, Freo, North and Lions

It’ll be a tough ask for those teams to win all their remaining games. If I had to pick I’d go for the Crows who seem to be hitting their stride. The Lions game will be huge. I hope they knock 7 bells out of each other.

We have the doggies (who haven’t beaten anyone) Suns, Bombers and Eagles. Suns away could be a banana skin so need to switched on but the other games are at Casey. We should win all our games to finish 2nd at worst. We may even make up percentage to finish top.

Really looking forward to the run in to finals. I think we are very well placed, with good balance across the team. Touch wood we don’t have any bad luck on the injury front.

The size differential between the Crows and the other teams always amazes me

I had the game on in the background just now and assumed the Crows had a breeze at their back in the 1st quarter, but no, they just kick it a good 10 meters on average farther than their opponents due to their size and strength

Game from Freo, they fought like tigers and were ahead at 3 quarter time, but the dam broke inevitably in the last and the Crows ran over the top of them

Crows' brute strength very difficult to combat. They are looking very ominous

Hoping North can beat the Lions in this evening's game

❤️💙 Daisy’s 50th game ❤️💙

Spewing it’s not at home but hoping many QLD Dees can get to Metricon to support our awesome girls!

GO THE MIGHTY DEES!!!

Watching the 2nd qtr of the Brisbane V Adelaide game and AFLW has officially reached a new standard. Fast, clean skills and some great overhead marking.

Agree. Very good game. Pity there's no crowd there to watch it.

Dominant performance from the Lions last night. Very impressive. they are rightful favourites to win it. They move the ball well, are a match for anyone on the inside and have plenty of outside run. They're going to be hard to beat

It seems (at this stage anyways) our HOME finals matches likely will be played at…

If vs an interstate side: IKON

if vs a Victorian side: MARVEL 

Extremely unlikely to be played at Casey since renovations are about to be carried out there. These renovations were clearly scheduled for now BEFORE season 7 was planned.

  • 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.
