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.

    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!

    I was being considerate of those subordinate on the social structure Luci!

    I didn't want to make the social and moral superiority of we genteel folk from Romsey too obvious.

    • PREVIEW: Carlton

      Good evening, Demon fans and welcome back to the Demonland Podcast ... it’s time to discuss this week’s game against the Blues. Will the Demons celebrate Clayton Oliver’s 200th game with a victory? We have a number of callers waiting on line … Leopold Bloom: Carlton and Melbourne are both out of finals contention with six wins and eleven losses, and are undoubtedly the two most underwhelming and disappointing teams of 2025. Both had high expectations at the start of participating and advancing deep into the finals, but instead, they have consistently underperformed and disappointed themselves and their supporters throughout the year. However, I am inclined to give the Demons the benefit of the doubt, as they have made some progress in addressing their issues after a disastrous start. In contrast, the Blues are struggling across the board and do not appear to be making any notable improvements. They are regressing, and a significant loss is looming on Saturday night. Max Gawn in the ruck will be huge and the Demon midfield have a point to prove after lowering their colours in so many close calls.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?
