Kate Hore is a star.  Sorry 5 stars. ️ Another excellent game.  What a leader. Our captain.  Inspirational.  👏👏👏👏👏

Great to see Mick back into his groove with our run and ball movement. 
We need a super effort on Wed night vs Crows but let’s hope we are positive and aggressive.

Rinse and repeat.

 

Super game. Also Georgia Campbell and Gall, wow! Goldy just huge! 
Kate Hore is all class, probably should’ve played her permanent mid the second Liv went down in hindsight. Since Kate’s spent the majority of the game in there with Hanks and Heater we’ve been flying!

I’ve often felt our girls get a bad trot with the umps…..but not tonight!!! 
The one_sided free count( our way) certainly decided the match. I’d be furious if I went for the Crows.

But we deserved the win for the relentless endeavour.

 

Sorry……I meant to put this in the match thread.

I think our best team not including Harris who's out for the year could be this

B: Colvin, Gillard

HB: Heath, Chaplin, Goldrick

C: McNamara, Purcell, Mackin

HF: Zanker, Campbell, Mithen

F: Bannan, Gall

FOLL: Pearce, Hanks, Hore

IC: Lampard, Paxman, Watt, Fitzsimon, Pisano

MFC is so blessed to have Kate Hore.  Keep Kate for life.  What a captain. What a captain. She’s a beautiful person on and off field.  Her drive to succeed and her leadership is motivating the under strength Dees.  👏👏👏

I know it’s repetitive, but watching Kate Hore, you are instantly impressed by her courage and leadership.  Then you see her skills, her determination and he drive to win the footy.  
 

Again today versus the Pies.  What a player.  Kate is a star.  Sign her for life ❤️💙❤️💙❤️💙❤️

Now currently the AFLW all time top goal scorer.  Doesn't surprise me in the least.  From the get go, Kate was a super and reliable shot on goal and knew how to get it in dangerous spots.  One of the few players at the time that I felt comfortable would nail most of her kicks for goal if she went back and lined up.

Has been great seeing her keep taking her game to new levels in recent years and starting to get some credit for it. Agree you @spirit of norm smith what a star and how blessed our AFLW team have been to have such great leaders and great people over the years.

You certainly are a fan of Kate and I would love to join your fan club Norm. Loves her footy and I am sure she is highly respected by her opponents and team mates. Always one of the first to congratulate, with her beautiful smile, good play by her team mates. Well done Kate you do your old school proud. I am not fully sure, was it Mentone Grammar?

Very underrated in AFLW circles when stars are called out from some Clubs by commentators. Star player and even nicer person.

Great  follow up to Daisy. Mick wouldn’t have it any other way.

We would be playing Finals next week if she had been fit vs Hawks. But instead we will have to cool our heels and accept we made great ground from Rounds 2,3 and 5 when overwhelmed by Lions North and Bombers.

In the interests of Kate appreciation, this is a great visualisation of her rise to the top of the all-time goalkickers list across the first 9 seasons:

(as of the weekend gone, Ponter drew equal at 81)

Absolutely ridiculous.

Was the top FWD in AFLW fantasy by a mile (averaged 85.4). Next best in that position averaged 69.8

Melbourne gets shafted every way possible, every year, in whatever comp

Not a single Melbourne supporter on the voting panel below. Says it all. May have got 1 vote from Josh Mahoney, although I doubt it

Kate is, without a doubt, one of the top 5 players in the AFLW. She’d be amongst the first picked for any team alongside Hanks. It’s ridiculous she wasn’t nominated. 

If Hore had played our Hawthorn game we’d be playing finals. Probably preparing to knock Hawthorn out in straight sets (just btw Hawthorn vs top 4 this year, 0-1. MFC 1-3, Hawthorn vs 5-8 2-0, MFC 1-2. Outside the 8 Hawthorn 8-0, MFC 4-0. Hawthorn’s fixture was a rigged joke!)

Moral of the story Kate Hore is a star.

It’s ridiculous… “unbelievable” is an understatement!!! Not to be even in the 42 named squad.  

Highest rated forward in AFL Fantasy with 85 average. 
In AFL website AA team as a Half Forward. 
Strong stats across disposals, goals, tackles and clearances for a forward. Her impact was huge.  

Clearly the selection panel didn’t see many Dees games !!!

Quite obvious that inclusion in AFLW All Australian side is a matter of supporter votes!

Her non-selection is embarrassing, but McNamara missing is far worse. 

Tyla Hanks too! Wasn’t she voted by the other teams the player they most wanted to play with them? To not make even the top 40 is ludicrous

  • NON-MFC: Round 06

    The Easter Round kicks off in style with a Thursday night showdown between Brisbane and Collingwood, as both sides look to solidify their spots inside the Top 4 early in the season. Good Friday brings a double-header, with Carlton out to claim consecutive wins when they face the struggling Kangaroos, while later that night the Eagles host the Bombers in Perth, still chasing their first victory of the year. Saturday features another marquee clash as the resurgent Crows look to rebound from back-to-back losses against a formidable GWS outfit. That evening, all eyes will be on Marvel Stadium where Damien Hardwick returns to face his old side—the Tigers—coaching the Suns at a ground he's never hidden his disdain for. Sunday offers two crucial contests where the prize is keeping touch with the Top 8. First, Sydney and Port Adelaide go head-to-head, followed by a fierce battle between the Bulldogs and the Saints. Then, Easter Monday delivers the traditional clash between two bitter rivals, both desperate for a win to stay in touch with the top end of the ladder. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons?

  • REPORT: Essendon

    What were they thinking? I mean by “they” the coaching panel and team selectors who chose the team to play against an opponent who, like Melbourne, had made a poor start to the season and who they appeared perfectly capable of beating in what was possibly the last chance to turn the season around.It’s no secret that the Demons’ forward line is totally dysfunctional, having opened the season barely able to average sixty points per game which means there has been no semblance of any system from the team going forward into attack. Nevertheless, on Saturday night at the Adelaide Oval in one of the Gather Round showcase games, Melbourne, with Max Gawn dominating the hit outs against a depleted Essendon ruck resulting from Nick Bryan’s early exit, finished just ahead in clearances won and found itself inside the 50 metre arc 51 times to 43. The end result was a final score that had the Bombers winning 15.6 (96) to 8.9 (57). On balance, one could expect this to result in a two or three goal win, but in this case, it translated into a six and a half goal defeat because they only managed to convert eight times or 11.68% of their entries. The Bombers more than doubled that. On Thursday night at the same ground, the losing team Adelaide managed to score 100 points from almost the same number of times inside 50.

  • POSTGAME: Essendon

    Despite a spirited third quarter surge, the Demons have slumped to their worst start to a season since 2012, remaining winless and second last on the ladder after a 39-point defeat to Essendon at Adelaide Oval in Gather Round.
