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!

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
