    Shame about Tayla. We all know what happened last time she missed!

    Still, we've never been in a better position to try to cover her.

    Harris hasn’t looked her best so maybe good to have a spell. 

    needs to get the anger back

    Unfortunately I won't see the game - I'm still blinded by the sunset at Frankston on Friday night. 

    That was shocking on TV to try and watch. Not a good time to schedule a game. And top it off the camera crew must have been the work experience kids that day, so often they were no where near where the ball was when filming the game.  it was off to the right or left of the frame out of sight so often.

    She was fine at training on Tuesday till right at the end when she lay on the ground and one of the trainers started working on her leg, giving it a bit of a stretch and test.  Hopefully it's not too bad...... 🤞

    Losing Tayla is bad news, hopefully it will be just the one week, we definitely want her back for the next game against Adelaide.

    One concern I have for the Geelong game is that it is our third short week (six day break) in a row.  The men often say two short weeks is a problem.  It's not a question of fitness and running out of steam, but compounded short recovery time takes the edge off - you aren't as sharp, reflexes a bit slower, etc.

    Geelong only have 5 days between games, so hopefully it is not a huge issue.

    Game day! Looking forward to this one. Great way to kick off the long weekend.

    The boys struggle in Mordor but I back the girls to get it done this evening. Geelong have improved as their results show but we’re a step up in class for them. They’ll challenge early but our quality will tell in the finish.

    dees by 25 points.

    If you are looking for the match on Fox Footy 504, it's not there. Nor is it on 503.  As I was hyperventilating,  I spotted it on 505!

    A rare occurrence, but much happier now. This men's GF build up is so disruptive to us true believers. 😈

    For those of us that can't make it.

    As I understand it history has tended to show, at least with the men, that a single five day break is not usually a problem, but consecutive six day breaks can be.  Hopefully, though, all will be well.......

    Im very pleased for you, Viper. You're in for a treat, even if the result doesn't go our way (wash my mouth out!) Do some barracking for me, then, you and the offspring, while I'm laid up here on the other side of the planet.

    Why would you say even if the result doesn't go our way?  The treat  is our magnificent form and if we get beaten the treat most likely won't be a treat!!

    Cos I like washing my mouth out 😄

    Part of the same character trait that kept me being a Dees supporter for those 57 years!

    Crikey! Really? (not that I should be letting this tawdry aspect of modern sport into my appreciation of the still relatively pure experience of women's football and our glorious team in it...)

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
