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. 

    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 ?


    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: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
