14 of the 17 other captains voted Melbourne to go back to back this season. Get on board Demonlanders. You know it makes sense!

    Feel slightly conflicted given my daughter plays for the hawks, but go Dees!  

    I was at the practice match at Casey on Saturday. It’s hard to see anyone getting close to Melbourne tbh. Think North might be the biggest threat, as Lions and Crows have lost key players - however their home ground advantage means a lot.

    Exceptional circumstances here Spalding. You must be really proud.
    Maybe support the Hawk AFLW side during the home and away and come back to the Dees if the Hawks don’t make finals?

    We've been lucky to have Mick & Daisy.

    ...with Mick still leading the group I've no doubt he will carry on building a great legacy.

    Loved the story about the improvisation...a bit of Ted Lasso there.

    Tissues please.....🥲

    Wow, that was special. Memories and the feeling rushing back.

    How blessed were/are we to have this group represent our club. The love and respect they have for each other is palpable. So deserving Premiers and I expect more to come.

    They have to show this doco to the men's team and get Mick to talk to them before finals. "Brisbane unbeatable at home"  - sound familiar? When you have the talent, and above all, the belief in each other, it happens.

    And now, after renewing my MFC AFLW seasons ticket, I'm about to watch the replay of the girls winning the flag.

    DO NOT DISTURB

    Loved the way players referenced Fitzsimon’s game (the run down tackle and the smother response) and what that represented for the team. It’s not fearing failure and knowing how to respond to mistakes - because footy’s full of them - that got us the cup.

    Also, I’m officially on Tayla goal-celebration watch this season 😂

    I’m sitting here, many months later, with tears in my eyes (again!). A brilliant  production, about a brilliant team of young women who did us all proud.  
    Let’s go Premiership (AFL) and Premiership (AFLW) in 2023. ❤️💙

    20 mins of bliss and tears. 

    This club the last 3 years… like a Disney film… in that we had to remove a caricature of an individual to live happily ever after…

    Wow! So, so proud of this team of INCREDIBLE athletes. Incidentally, Mick choking up when talking about how he desperately wanted Daisy to win a premiership was so moving. He’s a great coach and a beautiful person.

    So excited for Season 8 to begin! We play Collingwood in the season opener… 7:20pm on Friday 1 September at Ikon (that’s the AFL pre-finals bye weekend). Let’s get as many people there as possible! Our girls (reigning premiers, no less) deserve the love and support.

    GO DEES IN 2023!!!!

    Such a great team. Definitely brought a tear to my eye.

    I'll never forget being there live to watch them grab their first cup.

    We've let Daisy go but I really hope we keep Stinnear within our club for a long time.

    Improv training. What a crazy concept. I think it might have really helped the team bond even closer.

    What a great month or two we've got ahead of us as a club.

    Super proud.

    Wonder where she will fit this year?

    With McNamara back I would assume she will take one wing and Mackin the other.

    Then we have sister Aimee...

    It's going to be even tighter for spots in the team this year.

    • 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?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
