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.

    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.

    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!

    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?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #3 Christian Salem   

      Salem proved to be a valuable contributor as a reliable and solid one-on-one medium-sized defender in what was undoubtedly his most impressive season since the premiership year. He remains a highly capable rebounding option for the Demons as he approaches his 200th game at the club.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: #4 Judd McVee

      Following an injury-interrupted start to the season, McVee struggled to maintain the standard he established in 2025 as he pursued an expanded role within the team structure. He remained a firm fan favourite and the club had hoped to negotiate a new contract with the former rookie selection from Western Australia, whose partner, Lily Johnson, plays for Melbourne's AFLW side. Those hopes were dashed when he expressed his desire to return to his home state and play for Fremantle. Like all players who have worn the red and blue and are leaving this year, we wish him well in the future.
