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.

    • POSTGAME: Essendon

      Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.

    • GAMEDAY: Essendon

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons are staring down the barrel of an 0-5 start for the first time since 2012 as they take on Essendon at Adelaide Oval for Gather Round. In that forgettable season, Melbourne finally broke their drought by toppling the Bombers. Can lightning strike twice? Will the Dees turn their nightmare start around and breathe life back into 2025?

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      As the focus of the AFL moves exclusively to South Australia for Gather Round, the question is raised as to what are we going to get from the  Melbourne Football Club this weekend? Will it be a repeat of the slop fest of the last three weeks that have seen the team score a measly 174 points and concede 310 or will a return to the City of Churches and the scene where they performed at their best in 2024 act as a wakeup call and bring them out of their early season reverie?  Or will the sleepy Dees treat their fans to a reenactment of their lazy effort from the first Gather Round of two years ago when they allowed the Bombers to trample all over them on a soggy and wet Adelaide Oval? The two examples from above tell us how fickle form can be in football. Last year, a committed group of players turned up in Adelaide with a businesslike mindset. They had a plan, went in confidently and hard for the football and kicked winning scores against both home teams in a difficult environment for visitors. And they repeated that sort of effort later in the season when they played Essendon at the MCG.

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?
