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 only 7 second half goals in those 12 matches (3 of which were 3rd quarter with the wind today).

    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

    • PREGAME: Essendon

      Facing the very real and daunting prospect of starting the season with five straight losses, the Demons head to South Australia for the annual Gather Round, where they’ll take on the Bombers in search of their first win of the year. Who comes in, and who comes out?

    • NON-MFC: Round 04

      Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit. Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

    • POSTGAME: Geelong

      The Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, falling to 0–4 after a more spirited showing against the Cats at Kardinia Park. Despite the improved effort, they went down by 39 points, and the road ahead is looking increasingly grim.

    • GAMEDAY: Geelong

      It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?
