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: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • PREGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      With their season all over bar the shouting the Demons head back on the road for the third week in a row as they return to Adelaide to take on the Crows. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

    • GAMEDAY: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
