Was a bit of a trick question, in that it only refers to the three players listed!

Kate Hore leads the MFC goalkickers with 53 (also fourth on the league-wide list).

Tayla Harris leads the league with 58 (28 of which have been for Melbourne). Alyssa Bannan also has 28, then its former Dee Shelley Scott, Zanker and so on.

West Coast and Fremantle.  The West Coast game was at Casey in 2020, and the Fremantle game was Season 6 last year at Optus.  Daisy Pearce kicked 5 goals that day.

Apparently there’s a curtain raiser at 4pm. Our match starts at 7:20pm so I’d guess that the unfurling ceremony will take place between the two matches. I’ll find out, and confirm.

Confirmed: around/just after 6:45pm

Club games, we presumed? It appears she has a game for Victoria as well (when did that happen?)

Ah, that score after Gus's Premiership gem: 9.10.64 ❤️

Just watched the Footy Classified Show, and they ended with, "enjoy the week off", as if there was no AFL being played.

They must know that the AFL women starts this week. 

I also did not hear any commentary about the games. If Wilson was on, I'm sure she would have at least mentioned the opening week.

Women's elite sports have such a difficult task to get real support.

If Collingwood was unfurling the flag on Friday night, would the Collingwood show (footy classified) and the mouth piece Eddy, have made a song and dance about it?

I don't get the lack of media support. There is a product there with AFLW, yes?

Yep, you were all onto it!

Lucky Demon number 64.

In '64, the MFC won a famous flag, and tomorrow night we raise our first AFLW premiership flag.

Yep club games. The Vic one would be AFLW State of Origin (AFL-sanctioned that is, women played plenty of state rep footy previous to that). I think the one referred to was either before or after the 2017 season. Vic smashed the Allies - might be a different story now with all the talent in SA and QLD.

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

    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.
