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.

LOL… seems Karen is no longer Karen  😂

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.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

  • POSTGAME: Port Adelaide

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
