Purcell misses a sitter. Playing well in general but goal kicking is poor.  

 

A picture perfect day down here at Casey Fields. Skills are fantastic. We've built a hell of a Dees side here.

 

Last 5 minutes been terrible 

Jeez, there’s a touch of our AFL team in the way we are playing.


what a roost

Ripping goal by Hanks. Where was Pearce to touch it on the line? (Too soon?)

That was a seriously dumb 50 the doggies player gave away there. And Hanks punishes the stupidity.

Hanks is my favourite player. top notch ball use and great composure. Hore was good first quarter but a little wayward in the second.

Fair play to the doggies. they're game and having a real crack here.

 

Hope Banno has avoided serious injury.

Running game hasn’t clicked today in to the wind.

And a slack period with it.

Backline needs some fresh legs I think. Godly has lost a yard and Birch continues to decline. 


Eliza West should keep it simple and just dish it off. butchered a great opportunity there because of poor disposal

When they move it, they move it.

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!


AB looks OK, I think?

And then it did!😊

Up on her feet celebrating goals is good, but she’d also be celebrating in a coma

Clicked with the wind in the last, a little surprised we didn’t look more fluent running and carrying in the 1st and 3rd but sense the players knew they had nothing to worry about. 

Slight doubts on the backline but we are really punishing bad sides with a lot of avenues to goal. 

The girls are in great shape. Playing with confidence, scoring heavily and moving the ball with real purpose. 

Hard to know where we stand until we face the Crows, Lions and North but so far we've blown all our opponents out of the water (and to their credit the doggies were game and had a real dip today but were just outclassed by us)

Hanks superb. She's a cut above every player in this league. always has time and rarely wastes a possession. Hore very good. Pearce played well today (and ably assisted by Campbell who i've been very impressed by this year). Lily always gets stuck in. West just barrels through contests. Heath is the female Nev Jetta. tough as. We have outside flair in Mackin and McNamara and up top we have 2 great targets in Harris and Zanker. We have all the tools.

I'm very confident about the season ahead. We're going to be hard to stop.

Go Dees

the wind is spoiling this game as usual. I really don't like Casey Fields.

But luckily the girls do! Their 'Field Of Dreams' as they like to call it, KH just said.

Can't quite gather my thoughts on this game after arriving home from Casey to hear of the passing of a great.

For now I'll pay tribute to Barassi's role in the Irish experiment, the fruits of which are close to our hearts as Dees fans, and that we still see today in our AFLW team, with Goldie and of course Mackin in that famous #31.

Bit sloppy at the back. But Gillard is so promising as a young tall back there. Once she realised she is in 2nd gear and jumps into 4th she will be amazing. Maddie Gay reminds me of a player who wore her number - G Lyon - put her anywhere and she will do what needs to get done - hope her hip isn’t too bad. 

AB didn’t look great so that’s a welcome surprise that it could just be a week. The commentators need to be a bit more aware of the moment - I am watching this game for the jumper but mainly because of a handful of amazing talents of which Bannan is on the podium - a knee injury could be more damaging to the sport, let alone our fortunes in the season or the day - wax lyrical about that for a bit.

Oh and Hanks.

Jesus Christ.

She is as clean as Clarry. Cleaner even…

And she lowers her eyes… 

STOP IT RP!

Yeah, you’re right. But how good are her little dinks and ‘Ablett jnr-esque’ movements?

  • CASEY: Geelong

    There was a time in the second quarter of the game at the Cattery on Friday afternoon when the Casey Demons threatened to take the game apart against the Cats. The Demons had been well on top early but were struggling to convert their ascendancy over the ground until Tom Fullarton’s burst of three goals in the space of eight minutes on the way to a five goal haul and his best game for the club since arriving from Brisbane at the end of 2023. He was leading, marking and otherwise giving his opponents a merry dance as Casey grabbed a three goal lead in the blink of an eye. Fullarton has now kicked ten goals in Casey’s three matches and, with Melbourne’s forward conversion woes, he is definitely in with a chance to get his first game with the club in next week’s Gather Round in Adelaide. Despite the tall forward’s efforts - he finished with 19 disposals and eight marks and had four hit outs as back up to Will Verrall in the second half - it wasn’t enough as Geelong reigned in the lead through persistent attacks and eventually clawed their way to the lead early in the last and held it till they achieved the end aim of victory.

  • REPORT: Geelong

    I was disappointed to hear Goody say at his post match presser after the team’s 39 point defeat against Geelong that "we're getting high quality entry, just poor execution" because Melbourne’s problems extend far beyond that after its 0 - 4 start to the 2025 football season. There are clearly problems with poor execution, some of which were evident well before the current season and were in play when the Demons met the Cats in early May last year and beat them in a near top-of-the-table clash that saw both sides sitting comfortably in the top four after round eight. Since that game, the Demons’ performances have been positively Third World with only five wins in 19 games with a no longer majestic midfield and a dysfunctional forward line that has become too easy for opposing coaches to counter. This is an area of their game that is currently being played out as if they were all completely panic-stricken.

  • PREGAME: Essendon

    Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?
