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. 

She gets some big roles against girls twice her size and does the job time and again.

    Paxy is officially Paxy Paxman. They changed their name during the off-season.

    This may sound rude but Paxy is way better than Karen…

    How good were they tonight? That second half was dominant. The midfield is a well oiled machine already. Eliza M is quickly back to being important but her kicking into the forward line is pitch perfect. Just love her game. Kate Hore doesn’t get enough love as one of the best 10 players in the comp and Hanks and Harris are just doing what they always have done.

    Campbell showing signs too. Just love this team.

    Oh gees. That short doco they played after tonight’s game about last years premiership. What a tear jerker. It was so good.

    And Heath! Shelley Heath is the reincarnation of Nathan Brown; dogged and takes on any assignment and backs herself to win the footy.

    I was wondering how much footy she has left in her.

    On tonights game, obviously quite a bit more.

    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.

    23 scoring shots.

    Just sayin'

    Very positively.

    That was an awesome game . Listened to Libby birch before the game  she said (paraphrasing) that it would be close but we’d run over them in the last qrt. (Sound familiar) However she didn’t predict the overwhelming effort in the second half. Great enjoyable footy to watch !!

    Especially since the name Karen has been hijacked courtesy of Karen from Brighton. I have two friends named Karen who curse that woman. 😁

    A shame they didn’t consider the name ‘Premiership Paxman’ 😝.

    But in all seriousness, I’m just grateful they play for the Dees.

    Far out that was a shaky start. But this isn't a team that's fazed by a bunch of behinds on the scoreboard (it's a familiar enough scenario heh). A few of ours will be better for the run, to put it politely. Haven't seen us turn the ball over so badly in ages, especially in the back line. Once the engine room clicked into gear though, we were unstoppable. The opposition can't find forward line space if we just never let it down there, I guess.

    Highlights:

    - #1 has to be the return of McNamara. Wore a big tackle early in the game - the mental strength is admirable. Had a solid game too and love her and B.Mackin as a dynamic wing duo. The latter was everywhere. 396 metres gained, the second on the ground. In her second season of footy...ever.

    - Heath, talk about scoreboard reward for effort. Davey is a tough customer and you might look at Heath standing next to her and wonder, but Dees fans know Shelley's tenacity personified.

    - Bannan is such a rollercoaster of a player. Looks completely out of it at times then just lights it up.

    - Campbell was as I'd hoped and her role was welcome because L.Pearce is going to need increasing help I think.

    - Calling it now, Paxy will play til 40, one of few who held the standard for a full four quarters. They've still got it!

    Lowlight:

    - Didn't manage to hear the "We are the girls from Casey Fields chant" all night - must have been in some kind of sound vortex cause I don't doubt the Demon Army were loud and proud as usual.

    Not sure if it’s been mentioned here already but saw a post on Reddit that said 8,412 - more than double any other ALFW season opener

    We were definitely as loud and proud as usual. Not as many of us there, but those who were made a helluva lot of noise. We did “We are the girls from Casey Fields” a couple of times. Bummer you couldn’t hear us coz we were good. 😁

    Yes. Our first father/daughter. I was told he only played one game for the Dees, clearly one’s enough to qualify.

    Many more than one if it's my flared-briefly 1987 finals poster boy.

    Played a few more at Doggies?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
