AFLW: Rd 03 vs St. Kilda

Featured Replies

 

Given the injury report, probable change this week:

Goldie knee (test)  in

Gay calf  (1-week) out

Gaye has been very good so far, hopefully the injury won’t keep her out too long. Will be great to have Goldie back though. 

 

Possible team

B: Birch, Gillard

HB: Goldrick, Lampard, Heath

C: Mithen, Purcell, Paxman

HF: Hore, Bannan, Zanker

F: D.Pearce, Harris

FOLL: L.Pearce, West, Hanks

IC: Chaplin, Sherriff, Ivey, Fitzsimon, Johnson

Glad it's just the week for Gay after her struggles last season.

For those wondering about Duffy, according to twitter comments, she's fine but not match ready yet. Building for Round 5-6.


AFLW RD3 Team | One change for Sunday side (melbournefc.com.au)

One change for the Dees Wilson in for Gay. Goldrick obviously not ready yet.

Excellent mark and finish Kate Hore. Great start Dees.

Intensity, clean hands, great link play and accurate goal kicking. Superb 1st quarter from the girls. 6 straight into the breeze.

St Kilda don't know what hit them. This game is over already

 

Wow, will the Saints get two disposals in a row?

Great structure behind the ball.

Good forward craft, creating separation and kicking straight 

Purcell playing great footy, along with West, the engine room.

Fair start by the girls. Has a team ever kicked 100 points before?

yes. we did against Freo last year. Only time its been done i think

Eliza West is a dynamo at stoppage. Just knows how to get her hands on the ball. Massive improver this year

DL's must have forgotten the game is on!

Are we playing our Home game at St Kilda's Home ground or just agreed to wear dark shorts?

I think everyone is still fixated on the fallout from Friday night's game

Let's see if they can "reset".

No goals for 2 quarters. I thought getting big leads would free them up. Seems the opposite for MFC teams. The longer we go without scoring after getting the big lead, the more nervous we get.

This thread got a lot more traffic when it was moved to the main footy board last season. 

Edited by Dee Zephyr

after a blistering start we've been very ordinary. Badly need a goal

Is there another game nearby? A lot of whistles can be heard 

Great 1st quarter. Forget about the rest of the game. Missed opportunity to build percentage

Libby Birch having a great season. Paxy too. Talk of her demise greatly exaggerated

Huge game next week against the Lions at Casey. Could well determine who finishes on top

Very strange game with a good result.  Next weekend should tell us a story.  Strong four quarters needed!


What a frustrating game to watch. Our goal kicking went from gold to bovine crap. 

Great move by the AFL to introduce club / supporter centric commentary.

I watched the whole game listening to how good St Kilda we're because I couldn't find the Naarm channel!

Great win Dees. Big game next week. It should be the curtain raiser to the vfl granny.

 

Bizarre game. Blistering first Q. Then 11 behinds. 

in 2-3 years I reckon Zanker will dominate the comp. Love her aggression 

It was like watching a men's game lately, but the women don't score fast enough to catch us.

We jumped them and looked great.  They tightened up and create a rolling context.  Would have improved with 1 handball and a releasing kick, often we went back into trouble under the pressure.

  • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

    When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

  • PREGAME: St. Kilda

    With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

  • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

    Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

  • REPORT: Richmond

    Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

  • POSTGAME: Richmond

    The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.
