10 inside 50’s for 1 scoring shot to the crows. Great defence led by Birch and Lamps

Paxy doing well but needs to take the easy option. Hore and West good

Mithin! We need you!

    I’m all for the 45 kick into the corridor but only when it’s on.  We were lucky to get away with those two.

    Good quarter with lots of pressure. Could have easily got 2 more goals (Heath and Hore were very gettable). 

    Ropey first 5 mins or so but we've settled. Need to be more efficient though. Missed a couple of gettable goals

    Looks like Paxman playing off the half-back. 

    Just saw the defensive group and she wasn't with them.

    Must be playing a kick behind the ball

    Really liking Gillard, thought she had a good quarter.

    We are getting the run of the umpires decisions. 

     

    Adelaide are bringing so much pressure but our composure is very impressive.

    Missing Eliza McNamara's run and pace, does anyone know if she is a chance to return this season ?


    This game is crying out for a Bannan goal

    That was a great couple of minutes of footy finishing with the goal to Harris.

    She’s phenomenal. To play at this level at her age and height really projects to be one of the best defenders in the comp (if she stays as a defender)

    Im PUMPED watching this game at work. Cant believe how much the skill of hand balling has improved (in the small sample i have seen so far).

    We look good for a win.

     

    GO DEES

    The commentators are lauding the Adelaide pressure and tackling, but ignoring the fact that Melbourne is getting their hands on the ball first.

    Great 1st half. Relentless pressure 😅

    Good first half, hope we can keep it up, would be  a great win to start the season

    Both teams playing a great brand of footy tonight. Our girls look fast, slick and dominating contested ball. Keep it up dees!

    We've managed to absorb the Crows pressure tonight whereas previously we've wilted. 

    Outstanding work from Purcell and West in particular. If we can continue to match up to the Crows physically we should win

    This is a really good game. The pressure from both sides is impressive. Purcell and West playing well in the middle. Birch has been fantastic down back with Lampard. Really impressed with Harris game. If Daisy and Zanker can lift a bit it will help.

    • REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
