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. 

  • Quote

    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

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

    • POSTGAME: Richmond

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
