Melbourne should continue on their fine form with what should be a comfortable win against the Suns which is on Saturday 15th of October 7:40 pm. Gold Coast's form hasn't been too bad with 3 wins in the last 4 games winning their last game by 34 points against bottom of the ladder Sydney. While Melbourne has been in red hot form just belting the Bulldogs by 64 points. I'm predicting the Dees to get up by 6 goals.

Possible team

B: Birch, Gillard

HB: Goldrick, Lampard, Heath

C: Mithen, Hanks, Paxman

HF: Bannan, Zanker, Hore

F: D.Pearce, Harris

Foll: Caris, Purcell, West

IC: Duffy, Chaplin, Fitzsimon, Mackin, Sherriff

 

Not sure if Gay gets up for this one if she does she replaces Chaplin. L.Pearce has concussion so more likely Caris the raw ruckman will get her chance.

    This wont be an easy game. Having Pearce out is a huge blow plus it is up in sweatsville.

    Need to treat the suns with respect. They have their moments. be professional and get the win first and foremost.

    Pearce is a massive out. She and Harris are the two players we can't replace. Perhaps Zanker can do some more rucking, and what she lacks in hit outs will hopefully be offset by her work at ground level.

    Hopefully we can take enough chances to keep the game reasonably stress free in the second half.

    Ultimately we just need to keep winning to lock in a couple of finals at Casey Fields.

    Huge game tonight between the Lions and Crows. A draw would be a great outcome for us (remote but not impossible given the low scoring in a AFLW games) as it means we will be top the table with a win v the Suns. Given our soft run home we just need to win our remaining games rather than make up percentage and it won't matter what the Crows or Lions do. Finishing top is crucial as playing Lions or Crows away in a final is a tough ask

    Sammie Johnson’s injury is listed as “personal” which in this case is pregnancy. First ever AFLW player to have played while pregnant. I’m surprised it’s taken seven seasons for this to happen.

    The side a little bit weaker with L.Pearce, Goldrick and Sherriff out but they still should get it done comfortably against the Suns.

    Agree Werridee, we are weaker but I am looking forward to seeing if Caris can step up. At only 19 and 190cm she is one of the new breed of AFLW footballers. It would be great to see her progress and eventually take over when L Pearce hangs up the boots.

    Encouraging to see the Gold Coast AFLW side getting crowds that rival the men's team.

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
