Perfect from our girls, wonderful performance, great win. 
Umpiring woefully biased. I’d be putting a please explain in on the constant calling of Goldrick’s handballs as throws, there may have been one or two but they haven’t called it on anyone else when they’ve been clearer and worse, clear bias.

    In my village they call this a shellacking.

    Excellent performance. Moved the ball really well, forward connection and taking marks

    Good percentage boost. Left a little on the table but no matter

    Suns, Eagles and bombers to round out the season. Nice soft run into finals and hopefully we can finish top with some clinical performances

    Great to see Bannan finding some form

    Hoping for a draw next week between the Crows and Lions

    Go Dees

    I reckon this is our year. We have made great changes in the off season to our game plan.  Stinnear etc should be commended.  We have real attacking strength now.  new guns in the midfield, great run off HB and willingness to make mistakes taking the game on

    Adelaide and Lions are bloody good teams but I reckon we get it done for Daise

    Lil seems to have developed some real strength over the ball. Now she's starting to break tackles, and her kicking is as good as any of our mids.

    The holy trinity of Hanks, West and Purcell is a joy to watch. And Goldy is just amazing; that tackle on Blackburn. Oof.

    Is Harris the best ruck in the comp? I think so - some of the things she does in the ruck remind me a lot of Luke Jackson's follow up work. And she'd probably beat him in a one-on-one in the forward line. What a string to add to her bow.

    The Pearce Harris ruck duo is the best in the comp by a mile

    I do. However, I took a bus to the ground. Even the buses are nicer around here. 😭

    I think that was the best game by the team for 4 qtrs for the whole season.   We kept the pressure up and didn't let them back in, albeit against a weaker team.

    2 bounces from Mackin. Missed the kick into the corridor earlier but not afraid to take it on. I think she's going to a good player for us

    Mackin burnt a couple of times by teammates when she was out in the clear and in best position.

    Need to fix this up, I hope Mick is on top of it.

    I feel like she has been progressively getting better throughout the season. Maybe reading the party better, improving positioning, getting a bit of confidence. It wouldn't surprise me if she has a bit of a break out game later this season, just puts it all together and gets a lot of it.

    An observation…

    I rarely have occasion to visit the eastern suburbs and haven’t in the longest time. The stark contrast between here and where I live is astounding! I mean, where are all your meth-heads at? And I’ve yet to see even one person walking around wrapped in a doona (dual purpose- warm bedding by night and warm cape by day). And y’all’s shoplifters selling their wares, where are they? Haven’t seen anyone sitting cross legged on the footpath selling 3-packs of Bonds jocks for $5 a pack. Do your ne’er-do-wells observe the Sabbath or something? I’m also having to adjust to walking around freely, not having to be mindful of avoiding treading on used syringes! I feel like I’m on another planet. 

    LOL I just saw some other people here at Cranbourne station obvs also headed to today’s game. They’re in Bulldogs gear and have the exact same discombobulated look as I do. Fellow westies, for sure. 😁

     

    GO DEES!!!!

    Hate to tell you this but Cranbourne is close to the worst suburb on the east/south/south east of Melbourne.

    Where on earth do you live that Cranbourne looks 'good'?  I know it is 'west' but...

    Great performance today girls and nice percentage booster. Love the work of Goldrick and Zanker, they always have a crack when it's their turn to go. Bannan and Harris forming a formidable forward duo.

    A really great game.   The ball movement was excellent, the discipline, the hardness in every contest.  I was highly impressed by the skills and their application.  Increasing % by about 30% was also a huge bonus.  Very impressive!

    • 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?

    • GAMEDAY: Brisbane

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are back on the road with a massive challenge ahead — facing the reigning premiers, the Brisbane Lions, at their Gabba fortress. The Lions are licking their wounds after a shock draw in Tasmania last week, while Melbourne’s season hangs in the balance. Can the Dees defy the odds and pull off a miracle to keep their razor thin finals hopes alive?

    • NON-MFC: Round 10

      The Sir Doug Nicholls Round kicks off in Darwin with a Top 4 clash between the Suns and the Hawks. On Friday night the Swans will be seeking to rebound from a challenging start to the season, while the Blues have the Top 8 in their sights after their sluggish start. Saturdays matches kick off with a blockbuster between the Collingwood and Kuwarna with the Magpies looking to maintain their strong form and the Crows aiming to make a statement on the road. The Power face a difficult task to revive their season against a resilient Cats side looking to make amends for their narrow loss last week. The Giants aim to reinforce their top-eight status, while the Dockers will be looking to break the travel hoodoo. The sole Saturday game is a critical matchup for both teams, as the Bulldogs strive to cemet their spot in the top six and the Bombers desperately want break into the 8. Sundays start with a bottom 3 clash between the Tigers and Kangaroos with both teams wanting to avoid the being in wooden spoon contention. The Round concludes with the Eagles still searching for their first win of the season, while the Saints look to keep their finals hopes alive with a crucial away victory. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
