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!

Excellent choices.

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.

  • NON-MFC: Round 05

    Gather Round is here, kicking off with a Thursday night blockbuster as Adelaide faces Geelong. The Crows will be out for redemption after a controversial loss last week. Saturday starts with the Magpies taking on the Swans. Collingwood will be eager to cement their spot in the top eight, while Sydney is hot on their heels. In the Barossa Valley, two rising sides go head-to-head in a fascinating battle to prove they're the real deal. Later, Carlton and West Coast face off at Adelaide Oval, both desperate to notch their first win of the season. The action then shifts to Norwood, where the undefeated Lions will aim to keep their streak alive against the Bulldogs. Sunday’s games begin in the Barossa with Richmond up against Fremantle. In Norwood, the Saints will be looking to take a scalp when they come up against the Giants. The round concludes with a fiery rematch of last year's semi-final, as the Hawks seek revenge for their narrow loss to Port Adelaide. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • 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?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
