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

    Huge game today. A win will put us in the box seat for top spot and home finals

    reckon this thread should be on the main board this evening @Demonland

    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.

    Lions on top. Winning all the contested ball. Our mids need to get to work

    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.

    • PREVIEW: Richmond

      A few years ago, the Melbourne Football Club produced a documentary about the decade in which it rose from its dystopic purgatory of regular thrashings to the euphoria of a premiership victory. That entire period could have been compressed in a fast motion version of the 2025 season to date as the Demons went from embarrassing basket case to glorious winner in an unexpected victory over the Dockers last Saturday. They transformed in a single week from a team that put in a pedestrian effort of predictably kicking the ball long down the line into attack that made a very ordinary Bombers outfit look like worldbeaters into a slick, fast moving side with urgency and a willingness to handball and create play with shorter kicks and by changing angles to generate an element of chaos that yielded six goals in each of the opening quarters against Freo.

    • NON-MFC: Round 07

      Round 7 gets underway in iconic fashion with the traditional ANZAC Day blockbuster. The high-flying Magpies will be looking to solidify their spot atop the ladder, while the Bombers are desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top eight. Later that evening, Fremantle will be out to redeem themselves after a disappointing loss to the Demons, facing a hungry Adelaide side with eyes firmly set on breaking into the top four. Saturday serves up a triple-header of footy action. The Lions will be looking to consolidate their Top 2 spot as they head to Marvel Stadium to clash with the Saints. Over in Adelaide, Port Adelaide will be strong favourites at home against a struggling North Melbourne. The day wraps up with a fiery encounter in Canberra, where the Giants and Bulldogs renew their bitter rivalry. Sunday’s schedule kicks off with the Suns aiming to bounce back from their shock defeat to Richmond, taking on the out of form Swans.Then the Blues will be out to claim a major scalp when they battle the Cats at the MCG. The round finishes with a less-than-thrilling affair between Hawthorn and West Coast at Marvel. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?
