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.

Kate hore with the best quarter of her career. 

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

Goldie won’t die wondering. Always takes the game on.

Banning runs too far streaming inside 5p towards goal.

No dramas Makin goals a few sec later. 😀

Bannan got caught in 2 minds there. Should have slotted it herself

Looked a htb against Harris there. We got lucky

  • AFLW REPORT: Gold Coast

    The forecast said wind. The ladder said mismatch. The scoreboard said obliteration. Melbourne didn’t just beat Gold Coast — they dismantled them: 13.15 (93) to 0.6 (6). An 87-point obliteration, the Suns held goalless, and the Demons delivering their second-highest winning margin and third-highest score in AFLW history.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #28 Will Verrall

    It was a tough ask for him to break through as a 199cm ruckman in the shadow of an all-time great in that position who is also the club captain. He had some good days at Casey but was unable to progress and was delisted at the end of the season.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #29 Tom Campbell

    The 33-year-old Campbell has yet to play AFL football for Melbourne, but his Casey form has been strong and he has been retained as a ready-made ruck depth option who is widely regarded as someone who is excellent for the culture of the club.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #30 Harry Sharp 

    The Demons acquired an interesting player in Sharp, who narrowly missed securing a spot in the Lions’ premiership team last year. The 22-year-old medium forward played in the opening round this season and ended up with 18 senior games, although he was substituted in or out in for ten of those matches. He demonstrated glimpses of form, but ultimately ended the year on the margins of the team.

  • 2025 Player Reviews: #31 Bayley Fritsch

    Worked his way back after a slow start and a further slump in form going into the midseason but became a solid contributor for the club in the latter half of 2025. Closing in on 300 goals for the club.

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Gold Coast

    On Friday, the Demons return to our Casey Fields fortress where they have a 77% win rate. The scent of September is in the air and the struggling Suns are on the horizon. The Cranbourne weather forecast? Ominous, like the match itself: a strong chance of carnage. Let’s be honest, last week’s first half against the West Coast was a training drill but we dropped our guard in the final quarter. While this match is a mismatch on paper — second versus seventeenth — football is won in the wind, the contests, and the moments.
