Check out the odds for tonight!IMG_4803.thumb.jpeg.0d9137b7e795d38e1bb60a5ae71dc911.jpeg

That’s nuts! But then, considering our current form, and having made short work of them in the *practice match, it shouldn’t really be a surprise.

*I felt sorry for the Hawks players that day. I spoke to a few of them after the match and they were actually in good spirits, happy to be playing at all, is what they said.

Surprised Bannan got up. i initially thought there was some concussion in that incident 

On Aimee am I correct in saying she is more of an fwd unlike her sis? we could do with a good user at HF

Hawks haven’t been blown away and results are solid. i don’t expect a blow out especially at night in Frangers

Hopefully Maddy Gay is purely precautionary, but it makes sense to give players such as Gay and Pearce a rest against the weaker sides to ensure they are available when we need them most.

Good luck to Aimee Mackin for her debut game. Dees to win by 40 points plus.

Maddi’s omission is 100% precautionary. 👍🏽 She could’ve played tonight but they decided to give her the extra week, because they can.

She’ll be back for sure on Thursday.

Aimee is even more decorated a player than Blaithin, which is really saying something. I’m thinking she’ll play forward and I’ve heard she’s a dead-eye-dick. 🥳❤️💙

Yep. Per her post-selection interview (see OP), in her own words she's been 'in and around the half forward line...trying to create scores for the girls in front'.

Looking at her Gaelic footy vision, if she's made the transition from round to oval ball, her delivery skills shouldn't be a problem!

It’s Prelim time in the AFL, and I’ll be taking a close interest in both matches, but nearly as much interest as I’ll be taking in Melbourne vs Hawthorn in the AFLW.  Go Dees!!

Absolutely pumped! On my way to Frankghanistan now and I really could do with a T-shirt that says “Yes, Melbourne are still in it, in the AFLW, anyways.” 🙄

It does attract wordplays, doesn't it,  often of the salty variety. DubDee's of an hour ago, innocently Aussie, is a mistake I once made in refeened company. Never again!

Who starts a game at 5pm on a Friday?

Surely 6pm would have been better for fans to attend or tune in.

Also, this means there'll also be a heaps of Hawthorn kids tune in and this may not be a (PG) result.

They may get scarred, swap clubs and barrack for Melbourne and then eventually follow our men's side and be tortured for the majority of their life!

Just (half) joking


That betting line makes me nervous!

Some more about our debutant: Aimee earnt her a senior football (soccer) debut for Northern Ireland at 16, before she switched to focus on Gaelic and was voted best in the league in 2020. The 26-year-old arrived in Australia last month with a hamstring tear and was unavailable for the practice games but has earned her call-up after three weeks of full training.

And the stats on the venue and oppo:

It's Melbourne's first game against the Hawks and first game at Frankston.
Hawthorn's Frankston win-loss record: 2-2
Hawthorn's 2023 formline: The Hawks have started the year with 2 losses and 1 win, with the latter coming against the Bulldogs in Round 2.

Will probably be a bit of wind about. I won't know because, dedicated to this team as I am, Friday at 5pm in Frankston is a bridge too far!

Already heaps of people here. Heaps of Dees. ❤️💙

I bet they were happy. Theyre getting 70-150k? next year to play a handful of footy games while holding down fulltime jobs.They''ll pay off a house in no time.

They must be rapped. Easy.

 

Why Frankston? 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️

Hawks lining up to own the Mornington Peninsula after a Dingley move 

Birch needs to be dropped now so her poor form is arrested before big games. She’s having an awful year

I know she’s one of your favourite players but I have to agree. She’s been poor 

The other Mackins first game of footy. Unbelievably talented.

Aimee Mackin doing well. Looks like we’ve found another gem.

  • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

    The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

  • CASEY: Brisbane

    The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

  • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

    The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
