So proud of our girls right now!

Cracking game and worth more than just the 4 points. โค๏ธ๐Ÿ’™

What a great win. I am super impressed with how far the skills have come on, especially handballs which was easily the weakest link in the girls game. To say it has improved out of sight is not hyperbole.

That was a great win and a fantastic start to the season. To beat the yardstick first up... well.. yeah im pumped.


Best start to the season possible, beating the reigning premiers in their home state, love it

Weโ€™re had some great wins over the journey but thatโ€™s one of the best. Superb performance

Rock solid defensively, magnificent contest work. And had the guts and belief to take the game on.

West was outstanding. This time last year she could barely kick the ball. Massive improvement

A 3 goal win away to the Crows. Unreal. Theyโ€™ve been our buggy team

Everyone contributed. Iโ€™m super proud

Go Dees

Tahlia Gilard is a find

ย 

The engine room, mids and the contest was great.

By far the best team across the night! Every time Adelaide has some ascendancy we brought it back on our terms and eventually crushed their spirit. Could easily have been a 5+ plus win, bust couldnโ€™t ask for a better start to the season! Well done Dees!


Okay so that last quarter gets a WOW! from me. Composure + Pressure. Paxie had a complete blinder. Go us.

Well done girls. Cheering loud for you tonight despite razor blades in my throat.ย

Tayla looking more dangerous through the middle. Midfielders brutal inside.ย 
ย 

Crows clearly have some great individuals but couldnโ€™t really get any cohesion in ball movementย 

Edited by CYB

Chaplin looks a nice depth defender. Strong body and neat skills.

Sammy Johnson is interesting, cracks in and works hard. Big mid, runs the wing, 2nd ever game and new club at 30! Good on herย 

Ivey seems a good worker, keen to see more. CHF always tricky at a new clubย 

Cant wait to see Goldy back and hopefully Blaith too. The more we run the better we play

ย 


Looks like there's going to be two dominant Melbourne teams this September

Outstanding season opener, away from home and against the reigning champs. ย Loved the tackling pressure, handball to advantage and composure of our defence. Fantastic stuff!

I have thought that Adelaide were too big, too strong and too talented for us. They are the benchmark. No more. To beat them Rnd 1 on their own deck must give the group so much belief for this season. Handy percentage to start the year too - 159%!

Ditto, just a brilliant win!


You beauty! Awesome win. Purcell and West enormous in the guts, Maddy Gay huge at HB, Birch, Gillard and Lampard excellent. Kate Hore couldโ€™ve kicked 4, goalkicking this week. Great game, ground it out against our nemesis away, without Daisy, Bannan or Zanker dominating! Huge win with upside! Perfect!
Looking forward to seeing them play live before our big swans game next week!ย

How good was purcell?

Very! Lived up to the hype when she came across from Geelong. West has improved heaps since last year too

Looked like Sammy Johnson was having a nice moment with her boyfriend/husband on the boundary line after she worked her way back to AFLW. Love that stuff.

God, this team has people you just love. Mithen is just a neat, everywhere player - reminds me of Nathan Brown circa 2000s.

Maddie Gay is immense and Libby Birch was just breathing fire back there. West, Purcell and Hanks are just hard at the footy with great balance.ย 

And Tayla H doesnโ€™t even celebrate when she kicks one from 40 off one step. Like Mark Waugh through covers - itโ€™s a surprise if it doesnโ€™t happen so why botherย celebratingโ€ฆ

Oh, and Kate, please, consistent run in with momentum and donโ€™t lean back when you kick itโ€ฆ youโ€™ve got everything else!

@DeeSpencer

did I see you say Paxy was awful last year on the ball? She won a BnF and has been AA 5 out of her 6 years in the game. She is one of our only big bodies and is certainly needed on the ball at times even though she is getting past her prime

Purcell and West 47 touches between them playing in the middle.ย  Only in their 2nd seasons with us.ย 

With KP chipping in with 24 of her own, the mids just look awsome.ย 

BOG would have to be Libby Birch, who held everything together against the top line forward line in the competition.ย  Hope Goldy gets back soon, because Libby can't do it all on her own.ย  Gillard looks fantastic and can kick long as well.

Very quiet games from Bannan and Zanker, so plenty of upside to be found there.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
