Watching the girls the last two weekends has really helped my sanity. They really play for each other. Great running and ball movement. I even loved the commentary. No blokes yelling at me t

I felt better watching the girls yesterday as well. It was a nice antidote.  It's a purer experience. It's all about the footy. No hype, corporate speak or bloviating pundits. I hope the ALFW man

These girls are beyond amazing.  The structure and spirit within this team is incredible.  Hore is such a star but Hanks foot skills are a genuine sight to behold.  Go dees girls!

Paxy in, yay. Aside from missing Fitzsimmons I don’t think we could get any stronger

Agree, though I wouldn't mind Colvin getting a go at some point. Tough team to break into.

When the ALFW round preview has you tipped as 50 point winners, something is up.

Basically they are saying that our winning margin will be more than what six teams have even managed to score in total for the first two rounds.

North currently have a better percentage than us because they've almost entirely prevented anyone from scoring against them, but that doesn't change the fact that we have given away the third fewest points against us while also scoring 50% more than any other team.

I think we're in with a chance, here.

But look who North have played, makes such a big difference for percentage.  We have a great percentage considering who we played in the first 2 rounds.

Pretty sure that if we win this game, Melbourne gains the record for the longest AFLW winning streak, surpassing Fremantle's 11-game streak during 2020-2021.

Melbourne's Casey win-loss record: 21-5
WB's Casey win-loss record: 0-1
Melbourne's win-loss record against WB: 5-2 (9-4 including pre-AFLW) Last time they met in R7 2022B, it was a 64-point win to Melbourne
WB's 2023 formline: The Bulldogs have started the season 0-2 and are coming off a 7-point loss to Hawthorn

After last nights torture and disappointment I am looking forward to a (hopefully) straight forward win

I'm looking forward to watching the girls play as well. I love how they go about it. Joy to watch.

I love Maxy and the boys as well but watching them play is draining. It's almost suffocating. 

I think we'll win big again today. The doggies have really fallen away the last year or 2.

Dees by 30+ points

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
