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.

    A nice vibe at Ikon.

    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.

    Very good win from the look of it. Carlton look [censored] this year.

    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

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      It’s late February. Two teams widely predicted to finish near the foot of the AFL table in 2026 face off against each other in sweltering 30-degree heat deep in outer suburbia in a match simulation with fresh new faces and uneven team numbers. There are no nearby sheep stations on offer; the result promises nothing more than bragging rights for the winner. Nevertheless, the loser appears hopelessly adrift, whereas the other seems to have found its footing after a couple of years of struggle – perhaps a hint at bigger things to come?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      It was only a preseason match but the new look Demons spearheaded by new coach Steven King looked impressive as they put on a clinic against perennial cellar-dwellers North Melbourne as they cruised to an 80 point victory at Casey Fields.

      It's finally Game Day and the Demons, under new head coach Steven King, will run out onto the field with a new looking lineup and a brand new midfield when they take on the Kangaroos this afternoon at Casey.
