Great kick Zanker after the siren. 

Dees by 26 points at halftime. Doggies very limited. Can't see anything other than a Dees win here

    Goldy giving away the freekicks is a momentum killer

    Yeah, a couple but she makes the game worth watching.

    Created a bit the other way as well.

    Love Goldy...just takes it on.

    Ordinary first quarter but the second was better. Purcell and West came into the game more in second and we improved because of that. Hanks has been fantastic all day. Hope that Paxman and Pearce will be okay.

    Looks like Mackin has the same attitude as well. They won't die wondering

    Mithen seems to be having her best year yet. Always loved her work rate but much cleaner with the ball

    First quarter we were nearly there, in the second our pressure broke them. Dogs have had very little space, and the game has been played in our forward half.

    The backline, repelling most of their attacks and intercepting everything. 

    Paxman, Taylor, Hanks, West, Purcell, Hore, Chaplin, Goldy, the main contributors. Daisy doing the important little things.

    Mithin in the midfield has been holding Blackman with the help of West. 

    WCW was on the telly in one of the spectator shots.

    I was hoping Mackins kick would go all the way. It was a fair roost

    This game is over but we need to keep our foot on the gas and try to pick up some percentage

    Are the Dogs depleted with injury  or is there just a massive gulf in talent between the two clubs?

    There' a gulf between Crows, Lions, Dees and the rest. North competitive but can't score.

    this is the worst doggies team i've seen play in the ALFW since inception. Lost some players to expansion teams i think. not sure about injuries today

    Good to see that the 26 point zone of indecision has not affected the women's team.

    Percentage is all important in this competition... need to score a few more and not let them goal

    O Doggies......how did you not goal

    Loved the big smile on the Bulldogs player when she pulled down the packmark

    A decent crowd by the look of things

    This is the best footy I’ve ever seen us play. In fact, this is the best AFLW performance of any team I’ve ever seen. The marking inside 50 and precision kicking around the ground is so good. Some of the switch kicks into the middle have been sublime. Just need to improve the goal kicking

    • REPORT: Brisbane

      “Max Gawn has been the heart and soul of the Dees for years now, but this recent recovery from a terrible start has been driven by him. He was everywhere again, and with the game in the balance, he took several key marks to keep the ball in the Dees forward half.” - The Monday Knee Jerk Reaction: Round Ten Of course, it wasn’t the efforts of one man that caused this monumental upset, but rather the work of the coach and his assistants and the other 22 players who took the ground, notably the likes of Jake Melksham, Christian Petracca, Clayton Oliver and Kozzie Pickett but Max has been magnificent in taking ownership of his team and its welfare under the fire of a calamitous 0-5 start to the season. On Sunday, he provided the leadership that was needed to face up to the reigning premier and top of the ladder Brisbane Lions on their home turf and to prevail after a slow start, during which the hosts led by as much as 24 points in the second quarter. Titus O’Reily is normally comedic in his descriptions of the football but this time, he was being deadly serious. The Demons have come from a long way back and, although they still sit in the bottom third of the AFL pack, there’s a light at the end of the tunnel as they look to drive home the momentum inspired in the past four or five weeks by Max the Magnificent who was under such great pressure in those dark, early days of the season.

    • CASEY: Southport

      The Southport Sharks came to Casey. They saw and they conquered a team with 16 AFL-listed players who, for the most part, wasted their time on the ground and failed to earn their keep. For the first half, the Sharks were kept in the game by the Demons’ poor use of the football, it’s disposal getting worse the closer the team got to its own goal and moreover, it got worse as the game progressed. Make no mistake, Casey was far and away the better team in the first half, it was winning the ruck duels through Tom Campbell’s solid performance but it was the scoreboard that told the story.

    • PREGAME: Sydney

      Just a game and percentage outside the Top 8, the Demons return to Melbourne to face the Sydney Swans at the MCG, with a golden opportunity to build on the momentum from toppling the reigning premiers on their own turf. Who comes in, and who makes way?
