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?

    • REPORT: Fremantle

      For this year’s Easter Saturday game at the MCG, Simon Goodwin and his Demons wound the clock back a few years to wipe out the horrible memories of last season’s twin thrashings at the hands of the Dockers. And it was about time! Melbourne’s indomitable skipper Max Gawn put in a mammoth performance in shutting out his immediate opponent Sean Darcy in the ruck and around the ground and was a colossus at the end when the game was there to be won or lost. It was won by 16.11.107 to 14.13.97. There was the battery-charged Easter Bunny in Kysaiah Pickett running anyone wearing purple ragged, whether at midfield stoppages or around the big sticks. He finish with a five goal haul.

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.
