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.

Wing. Folding back 

We are getting the run of the umpires decisions. 

Zanker needs to get into this game

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 ?

Lampard very good so far

This game is crying out for a Bannan goal 

great goal

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

Taylor big goal, so important to get one.

Then Birch repels them.

Superb goal Tayla Harris. She been putting herself about tonight

Big booming goal off a step. Go Tayla!

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.
