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: Sydney

    A few weeks ago, I visited a fellow Melbourne Football Club supporter in hospital, and our conversation inevitably shifted from his health diagnosis to the well-being of our football team. Like him, Melbourne had faced challenges in recent months, but an intervention - in his case, surgery, and in the team's case, a change in game style - had brought about much improvement.  The team's professionals had altered its game style from a pedestrian and slow-moving approach, which yielded an average of merely 60 points for five winless games, to a faster and more direct style. This shift led to three consecutive wins and a strong competitive effort in the fourth game, albeit with a tired finish against Hawthorn, a strong premiership contender.  As we discussed our team's recent health improvement, I shared my observations on the changes within the team, including the refreshed style, the introduction of new young talent, such as rising stars Caleb Windsor, Harvey Langford, and Xavier Lindsay, and the rebranding of Kozzy Pickett from a small forward to a midfield machine who can still get among the goals. I also highlighted the dominance of captain Max Gawn in the ruck and the resurgence in form in a big way of midfield superstars Christian Petracca and Clayton Oliver.

  • POSTGAME: Sydney

    The Demons controlled the contest from the outset, though inaccurate kicking kept the Swans in the game until half time. But after the break, Melbourne put on the jets and blew Sydney away and the demolition job was complete.

  • CASEY: Northern Bullants

    The Casey Demons travelled to a windy Cramer Street, Preston yesterday and blew the Northern Bullants off the ground for three quarters before shutting up shop in the final term, coasting to a much-needed 71-point victory after leading by almost 15 goals at one stage. It was a pleasing performance that revived the Demons’ prospects for the 2025 season but, at the same time, very little can be taken from the game because of the weak opposition. These days, the Bullants are little more than road kill. The once proud club, situated behind the Preston Market in a now culturally diverse area, is currently facing significant financial and on-field challenges, having failed to secure a win to date in 2025.

  • GAMEDAY: Sydney

    It’s Game Day, and the Demons have a golden opportunity to build on last week’s stirring win by toppling Sydney at the MCG. A victory today would keep them firmly in the hunt for a finals spot and help them stay in touch with the pack chasing a place in the Top 8. Can the Dees make it two in a row and bring down the Swans?
