Anyone watching Swans v Pies?

I hope the medicos have best-practice diagnostic and management skills for insect inhalation...

Serious note: Initial thoughts on the level of this season's skill and game plan improvements? I'm expecting 'noticeable' in both, and a challenge for our girls to keep up, having been leaders in pretty well all the previous seasons.

    Both teams pretty rusty. Plenty of endeavour but quality lacking so far.

    As the same as the men's I hope essendon & Collingwood lose.

    This game has been good, Molloy is a superstar & they have kicked away from the pies. 

    It has got a lot better, higher scoring, better use of the ball & better marking.

    The pies girls must have been watching the men because one of the girls took out a swans player resulting in a mellee

    Swans can mark the ball. Filth can't. Therein lies the difference. Best part of game has been the dust up.

    Daisy got her first win... but with a young side they'll have trouble running out games against the more established clubs.  but a win is a win for her.

    Doggies miles off the pace today. no decent senior players other than Blackburn. Going to be another long season for them by the looks of it.

    Some 'ouch' scores unfolded and unfolding today. AFL/W might have some equalisation challenges ahead of it.

    ...and we have all 3 of today's 'killers', and only 1 of the 'prey', in our 'side' of the draw...

    One hour to go and I can't find the gameday thread.

    Here's the AFL site link, for what it is worth.

    I'm staggered The Corporation has made such a bollocks of AFLW again. It is almost as if there's some kind of disrespect for women in the AFL-Channel 7-Herald Sun nexus.

    It’s a shame the Cameras are not on the other side of the Ground at GC

    Nobody is in the stands. 
    Saints are playing well

    Westie getting a lot of it for Hawthorn, but don't think she'd have a very high effective disposal percentage, though.....

    • REPORT: St. Kilda

      When looking back at the disastrous end to the game, I find it a waste of time to concentrate on the final few moments when utter confusion reigned. Forget the 6-6-6 mess, the failure to mark the most dangerous man on the field, the inability to seal the game when opportunities presented themselves to Clayton Oliver, Harry Petty and Charlie Spargo, the vision of match winning players of recent weeks in Kozzy Pickett and Jake Melksham spending helpless minutes on the interchange bench and the powerlessness of seizing the opportunity to slow the tempo of the game down in those final moments.

    • CASEY: Sandringham

      The Casey Demons rebounded from a sluggish start to manufacture a decisive win against Sandringham in the final showdown, culminating a quarter century of intense rivalry between the fluctuating alignments of teams affiliated with AFL clubs Melbourne and St Kilda, as the Saints and the Zebras prepare to forge independent paths in 2026. After conceding three of the first four goals of the match, the Demons went on a goal kicking rampage instigated by the winning ruck combination of Tom Campbell with 26 hitouts, 26 disposals and 13 clearances and his apprentice Will Verrall who contributed 20 hitouts. This gave first use of the ball to the likes of Jack Billings, Bayley Laurie, Riley Bonner and Koltyn Tholstrup who was impressive early. By the first break they had added seven goals and took a strong grip on the game. The Demons were well served up forward early by Mitch Hardie and, as the game progressed, Harry Sharp proved a menace with a five goal performance. Emerging young forwards Matthew Jefferson and Luker Kentfield kicked two each but the former let himself down with some poor kicking for goal.
      Young draft talent Will Duursma showed the depth of his talent and looks well out of reach for Melbourne this year. Kalani White was used sparingly and had a brief but uneventful stint in the ruck.

      The Demons return to the scene of the crime on Saturday to face the wooden spooners the Eagles at the Docklands. Who comes in and who goes out? Like moving deck chairs on the Titanic.

      It's Game Day and there are only 5 games to go. Can the Demons find some consistency and form as they stagger towards the finish line of another uninspiring season?
