Zanker needs to get into this game

She's very uncharacteristically off her game tonight.

 

But damn Adelaide's tackling pressure is top notch!

    We’re getting a lot of the ball. And their pressure isn’t as effective as it usually is and we’re absorbing it beautifully. I reckon we’ve got this.

    GO DEES!!!

    We’re +2 Clearances and +7 Contested possessions.  Who cares if we’re losing the tackle count.

    West and Gillard are great for second year players.  Fitzsimmon had some important contests in the last 5 minutes.

    Two things

    Liv Purcell is showing why we got her to the club. probably BOG at half time.

    Gillard is bloody tall and coordinated and can kick. In years to come she could be a game changer

    I’m hoping my girl Zanks has a better second half.  🤞🏼 


    If it wasn’t fro their fullback we would be well ahead.

    Need someone to take her away from the game, a defensive forward would do.

    Was hoping Georgia Campbell would debut tonight, was an emergency, so must be close

    Needs better disposal efficiency and decision-making I reckon. Though gives us a great in and under and loves getting the ball.

    The same with West.

    Agree on both counts

    Gillard can mark, use the ball well, great composure and is always in the right position. I think we've found a real player

    The Hatchard love-fest is a little annoying. 50th game, yeah. But also Tayla’s 50th!

    “The three-headed monster in the Dees midfield” LOVE IT! ❤️💙

    Good footy, looking for that central corridor, and getting in 50 marks.

    We have to kick goals if we are to benefit from our dominance.

    Crows more efficient inside 50 the difference

    Love the swap of Hore and Hanks, credit to the coach 

    Libby Birch can play

    • PREVIEW: North Melbourne

      Can you believe it? After a long period of years over which Melbourne has dominated in matches against North Melbourne, the Demons are looking down the barrel at two defeats at the hands of the Kangaroos in the same season. And if that eventuates, it will come hot on the heels of an identical result against the Gold Coast Suns. How have the might fallen? There is a slight difference in that North Melbourne are not yet in the same place as Gold Coast. Like Melbourne, they are currently situated in the lower half of the ladder and though they did achieve a significant upset when the teams met earlier in the season, their subsequent form has been equally unimpressive and inconsistent.

    • REPORT: Adelaide

      The atmosphere at the Melbourne Football Club at the beginning of the season was aspirational following an injury-plagued year in 2024. Coach Simon Goodwin had lofty expectations with the return of key players, the anticipated improvement from a maturing group with a few years of experience under their belts, and some exceptional young talent also joining the ranks. All of that went by the wayside as the team failed to click into action early on. It rallied briefly with a new strategy but has fallen again with five more  consecutive defeats.

    • CASEY: Coburg

      The Casey Demons returned to their home ground which was once a graveyard for opposing teams but they managed to gift the four points on offer to Coburg with yet another of their trademark displays of inaccuracy in front of goals and some undisciplined football that earned the displeasure of the umpires late in the game. The home team was welcomed by a small crowd at Casey Fields and looked right at home as it dominated the first three quarters and led for all bar the last five minutes of the game. In the end, they came away with nothing, despite winning everywhere but on the scoreboard and the free kick count.

      After four weeks on the road the Demons make their long awaited return to the MCG next Sunday to play in a classic late season dead rubber against the North Melbourne Kangaroos. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

      The Demons were wasteful early before putting the foot down early in the 2nd quarter but they chased tail for the remainder of the match. They could not get their first use of the footy after half time and when they did poor skills, execution and decision making let them down.
