AFLW: Rd 02 vs GWS

Featured Replies

Surprised not to see a thread on this, but clearly AFL finals have taken precedence this week. Hopefully the AFLW side can have a big win against a pretty underwhelming GWS side to keep us comfortably inside the top 4.

    • Demonland changed the title to AFLW: Rd 02 vs GWS
     

    A little background:

    Melbourne's Manuka win-loss record: First game at Manuka
    GWS's Manuka win-loss record: 2-4
    Melbourne's win-loss record against GWS: 4-1 (Melbourne last played GWS in R6 2022A, a 37-point win)
    GWS's 2023 formline: 0-1 (a 5-point loss to Sydney)

    Will be interesting to see who comes in for Fitzsimon, in a classic 'mystery injury of the week' scenario!

    Very impressive performance last time out after been challenged in the first half. Now that we've blown the cobwebs off i think you'll see a slicker Dees this weekend.

    Looking forward to seeing Chaplin run out for the first time this year. Loved her attack on the footy last year.

    AFLW is a nice diversion from the finals. Will help take my mind off last night's shemozzle. 

    Dees by 35 points

    I think the biggest problem here is going off into noddy land and forgetting about footy,

    I’m expecting another powerful win to stamp our authority on the competition.  Dees by 30+ points at chilly Manuka Oval (which has MCG dimensions).  
    PS.  I need a decent win to overcome my ongoing ‘Thursday Night Blues’.

    Paxy is a big out, but I loved the last half last week. We looked so dynamic. Excited to see if we can keep that form going.

    Would have to be one of the best quarters of anyone's career in AFLW!

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

    • GAMEDAY: Richmond

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
