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: Fremantle

      The dominant storyline coming out of Round One for Saturday Night’s clash at Optus Stadium centres on the influence of the big men. The spotlight naturally falls on two elite ruckmen who, five years ago, shared the stage in Melbourne’s memorable premiership triumph.

    • NON-MFC: Round 02

      The compromised AFL fixture will get another test this week with the first lot of teams getting a bye after only two matches. Despite this Round 2 starts off with two cracking games as the Hawks host the Swans at the G on Thursday Night and then on Friday Night the Crows host the Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

    • THE STATS FILES: St. Kilda

      As part of the effort to trim the runtime of the regular podcast, we’ve been looking at which segments could be reshaped without losing what makes them valuable. One segment that naturally came into focus was Binman’s Stats Files. Not because it isn’t important; quite the opposite. It’s become such a substantial and much-loved part of the show that it deserves a little room to breathe.

    • PREGAME: Fremantle

      After a stunning victory over the Saints in the first round of the Season the Demons head over to Perth to take on the Dockers who choked in their first match against the Cats. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      One of the big stories of the AFL off-season was the spending spree of Melbourne’s Round 1 opponent, St Kilda. They splashed out heavily, first to retain Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera - the hero of last year’s epic come-from-behind miracle victory -turning him into a $2 million man. They then effectively took out an expensive overdraft to recruit a string of expensive players from other clubs. It was a risky investment strategy and, although it’s still early days, it certainly failed to pay off in Sunday’s season opener, with much of the glitter turning to fool’s gold.

    • POSTGAME: St. Kilda

      Never in doubt!!! In Steven King’s first game at the helm of the Melbourne Football Club, the Dees outlasted Saints in a wild, momentum-swinging thriller at the MCG, running out 13-point winners.
