Last week against the Lions would have been different if Harris played I reckon.

    Cracking win by the girls. Tayla was dominant forward. Fantastic mark she is. 
    Purcell with 30 touch in a 70 minute game is ridiculous 

    Good to see a 4 Q effort after the last 2 weeks

    It drizzled all second half which made it harder to execute skills.  A solid win, as expected.

    Watched the full game. 2 things I learnt. Dees are very very good. Secondly, the standard has improved dramatically since the last game I watched last season - AFLW will continue to grow at a fast rate IMO. 

    Go Dees!

    Solid enough win so now over to Freo.

    Another good solid win. Would have liked to see the scoring push on int he second half as that has been a weak point for the season so far, but hard to judge it given the weather and also hard to really complain about such a clear win.

    I really, really don't want Melbourne to be 'second best' for another season though, so I'd like to see ti all click into place and some absolute thrashings handed out.

    Good to have Goldie back...

    She didn't get heaps of it but when she got it she broke lines and kicked long, a real weapon, particularly in the AFLW.

    Late to the party, but yeah, a good win that's hard to complain about, though slotting a few more would have been handy as per usual.

    Loved the four-quarter effort and pressure though against an obviously under-resourced team that played very defensively after half time. Smother work top notch, all those little things. Liked the way everyone got around Duffy on debut.

    Also good to see the magnets thrown around a little. Goldrick a welcome return and she'll build.

    And congrats to L.Pearce on a magnificent 50 games. Special shout out to our cheer squad who completely outperformed the home fans on every level!

    Coaches Votes V Carlton 

    9. Tayla Harris (MELB)
    9. Eliza West (MELB)
    6. Vaomua Laloifi (CARL)
    4. Olivia Purcell (MELB)
    2. Sarah Lampard (MELB)

    The opposing coaches were in almost complete agreement as to the best players were aside from who was BOG.

    Eliza West’s improvement has been dramatic. She only debuted this year (season 6) and it is fair to say all her skills, aside from her ball winning capabilities, were sketchy. She is now a reliable (short) kick, good with her hands and a tenacious tackler. She seems to have a natural feel for the game and is a vital cog in our midfield set up.

    Vote for Paxy for GOTY!

     

    Also noteworthy (although as has been pointed out, take out a couple of the older players and our core is quite young, though that's a theme across the competition, I'd imagine):

    Paxy will be hard to replace when the time comes. She's having another great season. Top 5 B&F i reckon

    • CASEY: Essendon

      Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

    • PREGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
