    Outstanding second half. we smashed them. all our leaders stood up when the game was in the balance. It'll take a very good team to deny us again this year.

    hopefully the men can repeat the dose next week.

    go dees

    What a game from Heath. Her job on Davey changed the game. Mackin, McNamara, Hore and Hanks superb. Campbell was impressive for a second gamer. I'd say no change for next week. Go Dees it's going to take something drastically wrong for us not to win the premiership this year.

    That was a brilliant 2nd half. The new skipper was outstanding and led the way after half time.

    Our forward line looks like it will function well. 

    Lets hope it's an omen for next Thursday night

    The whole half, indeed, D11!😊

    I thought moving Hore and West into the middle made a huge difference, even though West was a bit off her best. 

    The skill level of Harris, Hanks and McNamara is really high, and I love watching them play.

    But individuals aside, that was a cracking game of team footy. Only 2 years ago I couldn't watch AFLW due to its low standard - not any more. That was great to watch. Our pressure, spread from stoppages, and running for each other in the 2nd half was brilliant. 

    Great win - go Dees!

    Shelley Heath was so important, and did a LOT of hard work, especially considering how tiny she is. All while kicking a quiet 2 goals and keeping Davey ineffectual.

    Powerful sums it up for me!

    Having 5 players who are genuine aerial threats inside 50 whilst not losing speed is such an advantage. Being able to put a score on the board when you’re on top is so important in this competition.

    Agree with that. some of our play from the middle into the forwaed 50 was amazing. Hore was captain fantastic in the 2nd half. I thaught our defence started to get things together but Gay and Birch look like they are still on holidays. Shelley Heath is probably my favorite player. She went from being a half back flanker to midfield tagger and dangerous forward. Eliza McNamaras 2nd half was excellent. Good to see her get some clear rouches and great ball movement.

    Lets hope the blokes can do to the filth what the girls have done. My beer is tasting fine.

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

    • PREGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
