AFLW: 2022 Fixture (Season 7)



Recommended Posts

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.

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.

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. 😂

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

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.

    2024 Player Reviews: #18 Jake Melksham

    After sustaining a torn ACL in the final match of the 2023 season Jake added a bit to the attack late in the 2024 season upon his return. He has re-signed on to the Demons for 1 more season in 2025. Date of Birth: 12 August 1991 Height: 186cm Games MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 229 Goals MFC 2024: 8 Career Total: 188

    2024 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem

    The luckless Salem suffered a hamstring injury against the Lions early in the season and, after missing a number of games, he was never at his best. He was also inconvenienced by minor niggles later in the season. This was a blow for the club that sorely needed him to fill gaps in the midfield at times as well as to do his best work in defence.

    The first round draft pick at #13 from twelve months ago the strongly built medium forward has had an impressive introduction to AFL football and is expected to spend more midfield moments as his career progresses.

    2024 Player Reviews: #42 Daniel Turner

    The move of “Disco” to a key forward post looks like bearing fruit. Turner has good hands, moves well and appears to be learning the forward craft well. Will be an interesting watch in 2025.

    The Demon’s key defender and backline leader had his share of injuries and niggles throughout the season which prevented him from performing at his peak.  Date of Birth: 5 March 1996 Height: 195cm Games MFC 2024: 18 Career Total: 178 Goals MFC 2024: 1 Career Total: 5

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.
