The AFLW season kicked off last night with Carlton vs Collingwood at Ikon Park but tonight, it will really swing into action with the Grand Final replay from earlier this year. Can the Demons emulate the men’s AFL team from March and win the equivalent game tonight?

Match preview from Meggs is here

Huge game first up

The Crows are a very tough proposition over there and despite losing Erin Phillips (absolute gun) they still have plenty of skill and experience

Around the ball they are just so tough. Marinoff and Hatchard are beasts. They've monstered us in the past

This is Daisy's last crack at it, would love if we could bring home the prize this year

As ever, we won't lose through lack of heart or endeavour, this girls as always give their best

Hard to see a win here. My heart says Dees but head say Crows by 10 points

What are our chances this year? Adelaide had a big advantage of being the only SA team last year.

Have they lost many other players to Port? 

Have we lost many players to the new clubs?

Shelly Scott and Jacqueline Parry to Geelong were our losses.

Adelaide very strong but no longer the state squad.

Other than Erin Phillips the crows have kept their core group of players together. They’ll be favourites again this year. 

and I know it’s an early call but having to play the crows away, again, puts us at a disadvantage. Not in conceivable both teams win all the remaining games which will put us in second again and a likely granny in Adelaide, again. This game tonight is massive.

Hopefully Stinear has spent the last four months working out how to stop Hatchard and Marinoff. We have more talent across the field, but their best players destroy us every time. Goldrick is a big out, as she was one of our best in the GF. Crows are clearly favourites on past form.

Everything I've read and heard in the last few days says that Melbourne are the premiership favourites, followed by Brisbane.  I'm not sure why people are dropping off Adelaide though, because Erin Philips seems to be the only star players no longer there.

ACH Stadium (Glenelg Oval) is the smallest of the SANFL ovals and hopefully lead to a higher scoring match.

Goldie injured. Not sure how long

We are favourites which is surprising. 

I reckon Harris will dominate even more this year. L Pearce and Zanker are by the far the best ruck duo in the comp. 

we need big seasons from Mithin and Hanks and pressure team football and are a red hot chance tonight

I thought I had to go the weekend without footy until I realised the women were playing!  This AFLW season has really snuck up on me.

Hopefully the men's finals don't overshadow the early rounds too much

Really loved our hit out in the practice match we had at the "G".

So many scoring opportunities created, with good skills and great ball movement down the corridors, we created many turnovers, competed well when in the contest, got plenty of the ball and controlled the play.

We should be up there with the best teams.

Hore, Gay, Zanker, Mithin, Heath, Bannan, Daisy,  Birch, Paxman, Hanks, Harris, Lampard, Lauren. great core of women.

Go Dees.

They only lost 2.  Interesting stats is against most teams we score around 40 odd points per game, Against Adelaide its about 17.  They have a very strong defence, we need to crack that to win.

Thought that was touched. But, we’ll take it. 🙂

Doesn't look like the Crows have got smaller in the offseason

They’ve found some more large German women from the Adelaide hills

I wish we had these umpires in the mens game. When in doubt they just play on. Hardly any frees given unless very obvious

Not sure about Harris in the ruck. 

Gets her in the game and it’s only a few minutes a quarter. They’ve got options with Ivey and Zanker

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
