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.

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


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

    We’ve settled a little now. 👍🏽
    Geez the Crows are bringing the pressure.

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

    This corridor kicking is absolutely nonsense. Go forward!

    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

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

    • PREGAME: Carlton

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
