Massive game for both clubs Brisbane have been in hot form as has Melbourne. Harris's suspension will hurt. It pains me to say this but I think Brisbane will win by a goal if Harris was playing I'd predict Melbourne by a goal that's how important she is.

 

Possible team

B: Birch, Gillard

HB: Gay, Lampard, Heath

C: Mithen, Purcell, Paxman

HF: Hore, Bannan, Sheriff

F: D.Pearce, Zanker

FOLL: L.Pearce, West, Hanks

IC: Goldrick, Fitzsimon, Chaplin, Johnson, Wilson

I think Zanker will stand up this week 'Werribee'...she's probably got more raw talent than anyone on the list, just needs to put it together consistently

I hope Goldy is back, one of my favourites.

I don't think Goldrick is expected to play, but hopefully we get Gay back.

We look light on for a contest up forward without Harris - perhaps L.Pearce spends more time forward. We really need Bannan to get more involved and Hore to take her chances.

Our last three quarters against St Kilda were pretty ordinary, so hopefully we will bounce back in a big way. A huge wind at Casey Fields would help no end.

Stinear hopes to have Goldrick and Gay available this week: ...at 3.45

A 8 point game for both sides and a chance the create a break in the top 4 position.  

But its also hard to get a read on the quality of their opposition. Freo, Suns, Giants,  Freo has fallen in a hole, suns/giants 1 win each against west coast and swans.   Bit like North smashed sun's round 1 too.  

It will be a close tough game as they always are against Brizzie.   I think we can cover Harris.

I agree on Zanker, think she has so much to offer but wasn't the best last year.  I think opposition put more time into her now.  But she's looked better this year.

Harris physicality is a big loss. Zanker will take on her role but she doesn't have the same presence and mongrel as Harris

The game is at Casey where we have a great record so I hope home ground advantage will sway the result our direction. It'll be tight though. No more than the kick between them i reckon

Campbell and Mackin debut. Gay is also in. Suspensions to Ivey and Harris and Johnson is out for personal reasons.

Big game starting in 30 minutes. 

We have a great track record vs Lions at Casey , altho the conditions there today will be very ordinary.

This is a big scalp to get as Lions will be a major contender. 

Win and we are outright top 2.

Just as well we made a fast start because its been one way traffic since halfway through the first quarter. Somehow we're 4 points ahead but unless our mids lift big time we're losing this game.

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.

    A couple of Demonland Trackwatchers braved the rain and headed down to Gosch's paddock to bring you their observations from the second day of Preseason training for the 1st to 4th Year players.
