    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.

    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.

    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?

    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.

    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: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
