AFLW: Rd 08 vs Gold Coast

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.

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.

    • 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.
