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

  • 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.

    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?
