Pretty sad that they need to post this. But at least they have a banner for their girls, many of the clubs don’t. 😔 

The culture that our women’s team have going is made up of many components. One part of that is the passion the Demon Army have for this team. If your team has a banner and the other doesn’t, you are already ahead of the opposition before the game even starts. 
Good on you WCW and your Demon Army companions 

 

Nice to have a gameday to look forward to after all the off-field nonsense we've been dealing with lately.

Reckon our superior fire power will get us across the line but it will be a tough contest. 

Dees by 10 points

In the other big game hoping the Lions can do us a favour against the crows. 

Are we a very good team, or a very, very good team?  We will find out this evening.

I think we are the latter!  Dees by 10 points.

Thanks, FND. We do what we do purely out of love for our team. But it’s always nice to know we’re appreciated. I know some might think it’s just a banner, no biggie. But the girls tell us all the time how much it means to them. Katie and Tyla mentioned it yet again at the AFLW function on Thursday in their speeches. They also love the guard of honour every week. We sometimes have such a long G.O.H. it’s quite the spectacle. There’s no limit to the number of people allowed on the ground at suburban venues and boy, do we go all out. 😁

We actually feel bad for oppo cheer squads who can’t muster enough people to make and/or get a banner up. North are genuine contenders yet they have to ask for helpers. If I wasn’t on our banner crew I’d help them tonight. Even in the men’s at our match vs North in Hobart they asked for our assistance. We ended up taking over 🤭 such is our enthusiasm and the camaraderie of cheer squads.

Anyways, tonight’s match is a true test for us. I’m confident we’ll win.

The mighty Dees by 16 points. Zanks to kick a hatful (as my mate @layzie would say 😁). 

Not gloating (except so gloating it’s nuts) but I’ll be on my usual cheer squad duties tonight, that is, after I’m done hobnobbing in the Pavilion Function Room at Ikon thanks to @Katrina Dee Fan who kindly offered me a ticket in her place as she can’t attend tonight (enjoy Paul McCartney, Kat!). I’ll deign to chat to any Demonlanders who might be at the match, so long as my posh (new) friends don’t see me doing so. 😁

LOL the folks at the function won’t know what hit ‘em. 😂


Jeez. Watched some of the Western Bulldogs game. they have fallen hard. No wins from 7. Belted by an expansion team and conceding 96 points in the process. I have a soft spot for them given they flew the flag for women's footy with the Dees for a long time but those in charge of the women's program at Whitten Oval have run it into the ground. Big changes needed.

I'm actually going tonight. Haven't been to a women's game in years. But it's great that we are scoring really high now and looking foward to seing Bannon hopefully dominate. 

 

Lions playing very well but poor goal kicking letting them down. Hopefully won't come back to bite them in the second half.

That seems to be happening


So do we need adelaide to win to get closer to the mill or bris to win so get closer to top?

 

 assuming we win

They're within 5 points and have the breeze in the last quarter. still all to play for.

Great question. For mine the McClelland is of the utmost importance at this stage. If we’re not minor premiers, while interstate finals suck, it doesn’t mean too much. The million dollars on the other hand…

 

edit: scratch that. Go Lions!!!

 

edit (again): I’ve decided I want the McClelland AND a premiership. Is that too much to ask?

Edited by WalkingCivilWar

Brisbane should be gifted a couple of goals just as compensation for having to wear those hideous jumpers. 


Lions do us a favour (although did their best to throw that game away).

Now we need to take care of our own business later this evening.

I just saw the result of the Lions game!! That makes tonight's game massive. A chance to go top of the ladder in a comp where the top team gets home advantage for the grand final is HUGE

So before the game I'm grabbing dinner in Lygon st first. Don't really want to wear Melbourne stuff down there for a few reasons 

Gee, that Bris vs Adel game was a ripper. The top AFLW teams are great to watch, especially us!

The standard just gets better and better. Amazing what opportunity produces in society, eh?


Uh oh. Top of the ladder available for the winner. MFCSS kicking in.

This is the only circumstance the Demons' Women's team ever loses!

And yet, I am still confident.

What an incredible welcome to country that was.

I've only had a little bit of time with elders, that fella covered so much from what I've learnt from them.

Mentioning children born on their land are considered part of their country and from their country is beautiful.

Loved it.

  • REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Of course, it’s not the backline, you might argue and you would probably be right. It’s the boot studder (do they still have them?), the midfield, the recruiting staff, the forward line, the kicking coach, the Board, the interchange bench, the supporters, the folk at Casey, the head coach and the club psychologist  It’s all of them and all of us for having expectations that were sufficiently high to have believed three weeks ago that a restoration of the Melbourne team to a position where we might still be in contention for a finals berth when the time for the midseason bye arrived. Now let’s look at what happened over the period of time since Melbourne overwhelmed the Sydney Swans at the MCG in late May when it kicked 8.2 to 5.3 in the final quarter (and that was after scoring 3.8 to two straight goals in the second term).

  • CASEY: Essendon

    Casey’s unbeaten run was extended for at least another fortnight after the Demons overran a persistent Essendon line up by 29 points at ETU Stadium in Port Melbourne last night. After conceding the first goal of the evening, Casey went on a scoring spree from about ten minutes in, with five unanswered majors with its fleet of midsized runners headed by the much improved Paddy Cross who kicked two in quick succession and livewire Ricky Mentha who also kicked an early goal. Leading the charge was recruit of the year, Riley Bonner while Bailey Laurie continued his impressive vein of form. With Tom Campbell missing from the lineup, Will Verrall stepped up to the plate demonstrating his improvement under the veteran ruckman’s tutelage. The Demons were looking comfortable for much of the second quarter and held a 25-point lead until the Bombers struck back with two goals in the shadows of half time. On the other side of the main break their revival continued with first three goals of the half. Harry Sharp, who had been quiet scrambled in the Demons’ first score of the third term to bring the margin back to a single point at the 17 minute mark and the game became an arm-wrestle for the remainder of the quarter and into the final moments of the last.

  • PREGAME: Gold Coast

    The Demons have the Bye next week but then are on the road once again when they come up against the Gold Coast Suns on the Gold Coast in what could be a last ditch effort to salvage their season. Who comes in and who comes out?

    The Demons simply did not take their opportunities when they presented themselves and ultimately when down by 25 points effectively ending their finals chances. Goal kicking practice during the Bye?
