You feel the lions might just pinch this. Zanker and Bannen unsighted (Zanker since the 1st and Bannen all year).

    The Lions ruck is outstanding. Tapping down her mids throats all game.

    What is up with Birch? Ball goes over the top every time. Terrible leadership at the back. Need Daisy to organise us back there

    Aside from first quarters we have kicked 1 goal in the past two games.

    pathetic

    Hanks, Heath and Mitho the only consistent performers today

    Libby doing it all on her own.  Heath great at tackling, but forgets about where the ball is in general play.  How many goals did they get from kicking it off the ground in the goal square?

    Daisy wasted in the forward line.  Need to bring Duffey in to kick goals. L. Pearce needs to hit the ball away from the opposition goals.

    Was disappointed with the last half. They need to get a defensive Coach - too many easy goals over the back today when Lions  swarmed forward. And our forwards need to play in front. Tyla Hanks, Kate Hore and Lily Mithen were great.

    Chastening defeat.

    Our quick start gave the score line some respectability but we were beaten in every department. Harris will straighten us up going forward but around the ball a real worry. West has been great this year but totally ineffectual yesterday. 

    The Lions are the team to beat this year. No question

    To be honest, I was expecting a heavier defeat. A few Dees definitely went missing... Brisbane also looked to run the game out better fitness wise. Our forward line was so one dimensional. Felt for the debutant in Campbell, a tough ask for a pretty raw player - good experience though. Those soccer goals were super frustrating, but it's why those really deep entries with players out of position are gold. We need more of that.

    The Lions were certainly 'due' a win against us. We've definitely got away with some against them. Apart from half a quarter in the first, we didn't play near our best though, so that's something to build from. We've had a good look at how they get it done and hopefully by season's end we'll be in stronger form.

    On a positive note, I like Mackin's involvement in her first ever full game of AFLW. You expect a cross-coder to give away some free kicks or get caught out on game awareness stuff, but so far as I could tell, she was up to speed.

    Selection will be interesting this week!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
