Schleicher is a decent out for them. Two time all Australian defender, Collingwood VC and first choice to play on Tayla Harris. Will also be interesting to see if they play Bri Davey after being close to not playing with hamstring issues. 
If we kick straight we will win this. 
 

PS I am really looking forward to the game. There seems to be something more authentic about women’s footy.

Ms Binners jnr loved it.  I went with a mate who has a young son who is dead keen on footy, but i think i'm right in saying that was the first AFLW game they had both seen. Both loved it. An

That's a strong side. Interested to see Campbell the only girl I don't know much about.

I think I was at a training last season when she was running around within the team.

If she is the same one I watched, I noticed she was a very good kick, and she is a reasonable size.

Both good attributes for us, as a key position player.

Worried that we're still vulnerable to not kicking big enough scores against good teams. Hopefully Campbell takes the second ruck heat off Harris to give us a permanent marking target inside 50.

I'm open to winning more Grand Finals 19-15 but it's a high risk strategy.

I saw Campbell is our first father daughter selection.

Do you know who the father is?

It’s like how footy used to be.

 I’m here now and although the game is over four hours away there’s an awesome vibe already. I just walked across the ground and the surface is perfect. 🥳

Very excited for this one, will have to watch from home though as my kids have an indoor cricket final. Oh, the glamour...

...I'm sure it's been raised elsewhere, but (as much as I love AFLW) could the fixture have been moved so it didn't conflict with the AFLM season?  I "feel" that starting now is taking the attention away from the league that it deserves.

Also, can something be done about Princes Park?  The ground is fine but the stands are appalling, the ancillary services worse and the toilets are terrifying.  Not really family friendly! Crazy as it sounds, I much prefer Victoria Park.

Great to have AFLW back, and a fantastic fixture to open the season with.

We have selected a very strong side, so there will be no excuses if we don't win. Hopefully the desire to go back to back is very strong.

Campbell is an interesting selection. Clearly we will try to nurse Pearce through the regular season, but we do look pretty tall with her in the team.

Hopefully we haven't sacrificed too much run, as this tends to be more important than size in AFLW.

I love Princes Park! The old stands have tonnes of character. I have so many great memories of this ground, from 20 years masquerading as a Carlton supporter ‘til more recently at the W games and training sessions and of course… the Casey Grand Final. ❤️💙🏆

Will be watching tonight.

Why are we unfurling the flag tonight at Carlton's home ground & not at Casey at our home game?

Where and when the unfurling takes place was the Club’s choice. Casey Fields was where they’d love to do it but they chose Ikon because the crowd will be bigger and the girls love playing here.

edit: of course they love playing at Casey more, but Ikon makes more sense.

I think there’ll be quite a big crowd tonight. There’s already heaps of people here. Anyone who’s yet to arrive, come through Gate 6. The other Gates are closed or open, depending on who you ask. Gate 6 is definitely open. 👍🏽

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
