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.

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

    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?

    • PREGAME: Brisbane

      The Demons head back out on the road in Round 10 when they travel to Queensland to take on the reigning Premiers and the top of the table Lions who look very formidable. Can the Dees cause a massive upset? Who comes in and who goes out?

      Wayward kicking for goal, dump kicks inside 50 and some baffling umpiring all contributed to the Dees not getting out to an an early lead that may have impacted the result. At the end of the day the Demons were just not good enough and let the Hawks run away with their first win against the Demons in 7 years.

      It’s game day and the Demons are chasing a fourth straight win as we take on the high flying Hawks at the G. After decades of being tormented by the Hawks the Dees will be keen to extend their 7 year dominance over Hawthorn.

    • NON-MFC: Round 09

      Round 9 kicks off out west with the Dockers hosting a Collingwood side resting several stars. Fremantle need to make a statement on their home deck after some disappointing form on the road, while the Magpies will be keen to maintain their Top 2 position. Friday night sees a must-win clash between two sides desperate to stay in touch with the eight. St Kilda have shown glimpses while Carlton are clinging to relevance after a flat start to the season. Saturday’s twilight game at Marvel pits the Bombers against a struggling Sydney outfit. Essendon can’t afford another close match against a lower-ranked side, while the Swans risk sliding down the ladder even further. Up in Darwin, the fourth-placed Suns will look to extend their stay in the top four. The Bulldogs have hit their stride with three big wins on the trot and will be very keen to consolidate on their momentum. The always fiery Showdown looms as pivotal for both clubs. Adelaide are eyeing a spot in the Top 4 with a win, while Port Adelaide’s season could slip away if they drop another game and fall further behind the pack. Sunday begins with a yawn fest between Richmond and West Coast. The Tigers need to bank the points to stay clear of the bottom two, while the Eagles are still chasing their first win of the year. The Giants face one of the league’s toughest road trips as they travel to GMHBA Stadium to face the Cats. With GWS at risk of a third straight loss, Geelong will be eager to consolidate their position inside the eight and start their climb up the ladder. The round wraps up with the top-of-the-table Lions heading to Ninja Stadium to take on the second-last Roos. The Lions should easily take care of the struggling Roos who might be powerless against the best in the comp. Who are you tipping and what are the best results for the Demons?
