Great news. Kate is a super choice. Very well deserved.  👋👋

I have met Libby and Tyla and can only speak highly of them both.  Very impressive young ladies and more future leaders.  They bring strength on field and very personable off field. We are lucky to have them.!

Rhiannon must have been hugely impressive to be selected as a leader without playing a game yet. It speaks volumes for her ability to connect and add values off field. 

Looking forward to season 8 

Go Dees !!!

    Kate was fantastic in the latter part of last season and was instrumental in our premiership win. She’ll be a great captain.

    I had to research who Rhiannon watt was. Huge endorsement of her leadership to include her in the leadership group when she hasn’t played a game for us yet. Looking forward to seeing her debut.

    Excellent news, well done to all, particularly Rhi Watt. That's so impressive and I love what it says about the team culture.

    As for Kate, what a rise from rookie to captain. A few years back the field was wide open for Daisy's replacement, but last year it became clear that she was the one. It's been a pleasure to watch her get to this point.

    I remember after Watt was de-listed from the Saints, there was considerable upset among their fans. Her former teammates were actively imploring other teams to take her on. Someone special for sure!

    Dying moments of last season’s Grand Final, Captain Kate intercepts Brisbane’s last foray and kicks to VC Tyla for a game saving mark.  

    On field leadership.  Great choices.

    Congratulations to Kate & Tyla, some big shoes to fill, but I'm sure both will be excellent in these roles.

    For the first time, I'm getting a feeling like the women's team might get on a roll this coming season and really hand out some thumpings.

    No idea why I didn't feel it before - it is the rational assessment of how awesome we are - but maybe it is just the realisation that our new captain is my favourite kind of high-impact high-entertainment player with loads of initiative.

    But only because AFL doesn't have goalies. I'll always be loyal to goalies!

    Unbridled optimism on Demonland? I love it!

    We could go unbeaten this season!

    Winning the flag is all that matters but we’ve been super consistent the past 2 seasons only losing the odd game to either the crows or lions. They’ve been weakened while we’ve consolidated. It would be a massive achievement but I won’t be surprised if we don’t drop a game.

    Bump.

    Having a stellar season and the captaincy suits her.

    Fun fact, she currently holds the all time AFLW goal kicking record with 67. Hopefully will be the first AFLW player to kick 100 goals.

    • PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Way back in March we contemplated the possibility of a Demon resurgence after Simon Goodwin’s summer of love. Many issues at the club had seemingly been addressed, key players were returning from injury and a brand new day was about to dawn. We imagined the coach pulling a rabbit out of a hat. The team would roar up the charts, push aside every opponent and make its way to a Grand Final ending in ultimate triumph with Goody and Max holding the premiership cup aloft under a shower of red and blue ticker tape.

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • PREGAME: Collingwood

      The final game of the 2025 Season is finally upon us and the Demons may have an opportunity to spoil the Magpies Top 4 aspirations when they face them on Friday Night. Who comes in and who goes out?
