Here, or something positive for the 'Records' thread?

12 wins in a row. AFLW record.

And it's not stopping here.

    Great win

    A ray of sunshine on an otherwise dark weekend

    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 through the TV. Just a couple of women calling the game fairly completely without raising their voices too much.

    Sat at the back of the couch with the feet up enjoying footy like we should.

    Loving the way this team plays.

    And we haven't conceded a single last quarter goal in any of those twelve matches.......

    And speaking of records, Kate Hore is now the outright leading goal kicker in the history of the comp with 61.  Her two goals against the Dogs put her two clear of.......Tayla Harris. 😁

    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 manages to keep the lower key vibe. I want the crowds to grow but keep playing at suburban grounds.

    Anyways, I'm really looking forward to the next few weeks watching this team try to go back-to-back. I know most Dees supporters have turned their minds to draft/trade or switched off for the year, but the footy season has a long way to go for me.

    Go Dees.

    1. Well said on the experience. But 'stuff' is creeping in. We could lose the PA'd goal scorer 'announcement'...

    2. 'Most'? I hope it's more 'more', and trending further!

    Honestly, how good are Kate Hore and Tyla Hanks? I love watching this whole team, but something about their pure footy ability just makes me smile.

    Christ just watching the Eagles Blues game. What is it with Carlton claiming to have touched the ball. They don't even have ARC, they just took her word for it.

    Well they are a club with a huge history of cheating, which mostly was accepted as part of business. And way too much influence at HQ.

    My ramblings:

    Had big fears for Banno, so glad that it's seemingly minor. Recommend this article for a bit of insight into the young gun. I love it when a player's personality off-field is so different from how they play. An introvert who plays so extroverted.  https://www.afl.com.au/aflw/news/1031694/poetry-perfection-and-those-celebrations-the-many-layers-of-alyssa-bannan

    Got to see lots of Zanker up close from behind the goals. She's super competitive and expects a really high standard from herself. Felt she was just a bit off with her reading of the footy and a touch slow to react at times out of the square.

    Loved that when Gay went forward to even up the numbers she managed to snag a couple of goals. Another versatile player that goes under the radar.

    Forward-midfield cohesion is great, especially when picking off leading targets, running it in, or when it hits the deck. More contested marks and it’s the complete picture. The spread of goalkickers is promising for the inevitable games when the goals don't come so easy.

    Backline is vulnerable to quick centre clearances and had some real lapses in concentration and intensity. Very hard to drop anyone from winning teams, but I think we've got to see how Colvin works in there.

    The Dogs thought they were in that game in the third and then... they just weren't.

    Shout out to the Demon Army! Noise level, chant variety and general vibes were top notch. You put every other AFLW cheer squad to shame!

    I've checking the website all day for an update so I'm glad to hear she's ok

    But wait, there’s more… throw in the two practice matches and scoring for second halves in 14 consecutive matches is:

    MFC 62.58.430
    Opp 8.27.75

    • PREVIEW: Essendon

      Not long ago, the narrative surrounding Melbourne was steeped in pessimism. There was some concern among the pundits (and even some fans) that the club would arrive at the AFL’s Gather Round still winless, vulnerable to a familiar adversary in the Essendon Football Club, and facing significant scrutiny from an ever-critical media on a national stage. Things have changed.

    • REPORT: Gold Coast

      Steven King astutely identified the issues that had plagued the Melbourne Football Club over the past two and a half seasons when he auditioned for the newly created coaching role. The side that had claimed the 2021 premiership had become stodgy, slow-paced, and hesitant to take the initiative.

    • POSTGAME: Gold Coast

      The Demons put four quarters of hard contested, fast running and high pressure football to knock off the ladder leaders and early premiership contenders the Gold Suns by 20 points at the MCG on Easter Sunday.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.
