    Aimee Mackin is playing her 2nd ever game of AFL. Next year she will be our best player

     

    I thought I was optimistic saying 2 years! 

    But I suspect it will only be Hore and Hanks in competition.

    This team is something special!

    How they adapt to each oppositions strengths is just exceptional. Cats were super tough at the footy early and we just ramped it up around the footy and took away their strength whilst allowing the rest of our game to shine. Unbelievable! So rapt for them ❤️💙❤️💙

    I had to be in transit for the final quarter so didn't get to watch it, but based on what I saw when I opened the laptop back up when I got home, it was a big and exciting final quarter.

    Very impressive again. Cats brought the heat early but we absorbed it, steadied and put them to the sword.

    We’re a very well-oiled machine and a joy to watch. Ball movement and connection first rate.

    Purcell, Heath, Mithen and West all cracked in. Pearce good in the ruck.

    Paxy very good. She doesn’t seem to be aging at all. Zanker physical and a handful for the cats defence

    Hore with the votes. Outstanding again.

    Aimee Mackin with flashes of brilliance. Reckon she’ll be better than her sister. We’ve hit the jackpot with those 2

    14 in a row. Fantastic consistency. Smashing all comers so far this season.

    This team just don’t look like losing. What a pleasure it is to watch them play

    Go Dees

    Methodical.

    Its so commanding - you get annoyed when players aren’t perfect. The connection they have with each other on the counter is pure gold and glory. 

    The men’s team can learn something from this group when it comes to decision making and using hands and not panicking around the 50.

    Decent crowd on the camera side and that Aimee Mackin move off the back flank toward centre wing was absolute dynamite.

    How great to watch are these women!?!? Brilliant. Their end to end handball chains for goals are the standout. And the last quarters - wow.

    But who was that commentator? Lots of ex-footballers and commentators show bias, but she was grumpy, ungracious and unable to even commentate about the Dees. She often just went silent when someone gave us a compliment.

    On top of the ladder with a % of 306.9 after 5 games. Not too shabby at all. 
     

    Can anyone do the math on that last quarters stat for this year? Must be something like 140 points for / 5 points against. 
     

    Can’t wait to watch the game later!

    Best win of the year. Geelong had a real go but just lack polish. 49 points against a side pushing top 4 is great. Imagine if we had Harris in rhe fwd line. Even bigger test next week. Hore, Paxman, Zanker and Pearce our best. Hanks was great as well. Love it when Goldie gets the ball as it is real heart in mouth stuff that.

    Is one of the Cats players wearing a hair net? Looks like she’s stumbled out of a tuck shop

    ...or the 9 games before that!

    If my quick maths is correct, 4th quarters are 125 points for and 4 points against, the last 3 rounds the opposition in fact hasn't scored a point in the 4th. Incredible.

    I thought the Hawks got fumbly last week because they're at that standard.

    But tonight I realised it happens because that's what this Melbourne team makes the opposition. Real pressure becomes implied pressure, and, the real pressure still continues, unabated.

    Crows and Suns game on Sunday evening will be a worth a watch. haven't seen the Crows play yet but the commentators reckon they're our nearest rival. Suns are decent so will hopefully test them. North and Lions aren't as good as us based on their game last week.

    Kate Hore has sublime skills, would give most men a run for their money. And always good to get a win at the dunghole of a place.

    • REPORT: North Melbourne

      I suppose that I should apologise for the title of this piece, but the temptation to go with it was far too great. The memory of how North Melbourne tore Melbourne apart at the seams earlier in the season and the way in which it set the scene for the club’s demise so early in the piece has been weighing heavily upon all of us. This game was a must-win from the club’s perspective, and the team’s response was overwhelming. The 36 point win over Alastair Clarkson’s Kangaroos at the MCG on Sunday was indeed — roovenge of the highest order!

    • CASEY: Werribee

      The Casey Demons remain in contention for a VFL finals berth following a comprehensive 76-point victory over the Werribee Tigers at Whitten Oval last night. The caveat to the performance is that the once mighty Tigers have been raided of many key players and are now a shadow of the premiership-winning team from last season. The team suffered a blow before the game when veteran Tom McDonald was withdrawn for senior duty to cover for Steven May who is ill.  However, after conceding the first goal of the game, Casey was dominant from ten minutes in until the very end and despite some early errors and inaccuracy, they managed to warm to the task of dismantling the Tigers with precision, particularly after half time when the nominally home side provided them with minimal resistance.

      The Demons return to the MCG as the the visiting team on Saturday night to take on the Blues who are under siege after 4 straight losses. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: North Melbourne

      The Demons are finally back at the MCG and finally back on the winners list as they continually chipped away at a spirited Kangaroos side eventually breaking their backs and opening the floodgates to run out winners by 6 goals.
