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.

    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.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      From the start, Melbourne’s performance against the Gold Coast Suns at Peoples First Stadium was nothing short of a massive botch up and it came down in the first instance to poor preparation. Rather than adequately preparing the team for battle against an opponent potentially on the skids after suffering three consecutive losses, the Demons looking anything but sharp and ready to play in the opening minutes of the game. By way of contrast, the Suns demonstrated a clear sense of purpose and will to win. From the very first bounce of the ball they were back to where they left off earlier in the season in Round Three when the teams met at the MCG. They ran rings around the Demons and finished the game off with a dominant six goal final term. This time, they produced another dominant quarter to start the game, restricting Melbourne to a solitary point to lead by six goals at the first break, by which time, the game was all but over.

    • CASEY: Gold Coast

      Coming off four consecutive victories and with a team filled with 17 AFL listed players, the Casey Demons took to their early morning encounter with the lowly Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium with the swagger of a team that thought a win was inevitable. They were smashing it for the first twenty minutes of the game after Tom Fullarton booted the first two goals but they then descended into an abyss of frustrating poor form and lackadaisical effort that saw the swagger and the early arrogance disappear by quarter time when their lead was overtaken by a more intense and committed opponent. The Suns continued to apply the pressure in the second quarter and got out to a three goal lead in mid term before the Demons fought back. A late goal to the home side before the half time bell saw them ten points up at the break and another surge in the third quarter saw them comfortably up with a 23 point lead at the final break.

    • POSTGAME: Rd 16 vs Gold Coast

      The Demons did not come to play from the opening bounce and let the Gold Coast kick the first 5 goals of the match. They then outscored the Suns for the next 3 quarters but it was too little too late and their season is now effectively over.

      It's Game Day and the Demons are back on the road again and this may be the last roll of the dice to get their 2025 season back on track as they take on the Gold Coast Suns at People First Stadium.
