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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
