AFLW: 2022 Fixture (Season 7)

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

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      With both sides precariously positioned ahead of the run home to the finals, only one team involved in Sunday’s clash at the Adelaide Oval between the Power and the Demons will remain a contender when it’s over.  On current form, that one team has to be Melbourne which narrowly missed out on defeating the competition’s power house Collingwood on King's Birthday and also recently overpowered both 2024 Grand Finalists. Conversely, Port Adelaide snapped out of a four-game losing streak with a win against the Giants in Canberra. Although they will be rejuvenated following that victory, their performances during that run of losses were sub par and resulted in some embarrassing blow out defeats.

    • NON-MFC: Round 14

      Round 14 is upon us and there's plenty at stake across the rest of the competition. As Melbourne heads to Adelaide, it's time to turn our attention to the other matches of the Round. Which teams are you tipping this week? And which results would be most favourable for the Demons’ finals tilt?

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.
