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.

Apology

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?

She deserves it if she does. Wonderful leader.

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

  • GAMEDAY: Geelong

    It's Game Day, and reinforcements are finally arriving for the Demons—but will it be too little, too late? They're heading down the freeway to face a Cats side returning home to their fortress after two straight losses, desperate to reignite their own season. Can the Demons breathe new life into their campaign, or will it slip even further from their grasp?

  • PREVIEW: Geelong

    "It's officially time for some alarm bells. I'm concerned about the lack of impact from their best players." This comment about one of the teams contesting this Friday night’s game came earlier in the week from a so-called expert radio commentator by the name of Kane Cornes. He wasn’t referring to the Melbourne Football Club but rather, this week’s home side, Geelong.The Cats are purring along with 1 win and 2 defeats and a percentage of 126.2 (courtesy of a big win at GMHBA Stadium in Round 1 vs Fremantle) which is one win more than Melbourne and double the percentage so I guess that, in the case of the Demons, its not just alarm bells, but distress signals. But don’t rely on me. Listen to Cornes who said this week about Melbourne:- “They can’t run. If you can’t run at speed and get out of the contest then you’re in trouble.

  • NON-MFC: Round 04

    Round 4 kicks off with a blockbuster on Thursday night as traditional rivals Collingwood and Carlton clash at the MCG, with the Magpies looking to assert themselves as early-season contenders and the Blues seeking their first win of the season. Saturday opens with Gold Coast hosting Adelaide, a key test for the Suns as they aim to back up their big win last week, while the Crows will be looking to keep their perfect record intact. Reigning wooden spooners Richmond have the daunting task of facing reigning premiers Brisbane at the ‘G and the Lions will be eager to reaffirm their premiership credentials after a patchy start. Saturday night sees North Melbourne take on Sydney at Marvel Stadium, with the Swans looking to build on their first win of the season last week against a rebuilding Roos outfit.
    Sunday’s action begins with GWS hosting West Coast at ENGIE Stadium, a game that could get ugly very early for the visitors. Port Adelaide vs St Kilda at Adelaide Oval looms as a interesting clash, with both clubs form being very hard to read. The round wraps up with Fremantle taking on the Western Bulldogs at Optus Stadium in what could be a fierce contest between two sides with top-eight ambitions. Who are you tipping this week and what are the best results for the Demons besides us winning?

  • CASEY: Gold Coast

    For a brief period of time in the early afternoon of yesterday, the Casey Demons occupied top place on the Smithy’s VFL table. This was only made possible by virtue of the fact that the team was the only one in this crazy competition to have played twice and it’s 1½ wins gave it an unassailable lead on the other 20 teams, some of who had yet to play a game.

  • REPORT: Gold Coast

    In my all-time nightmare game, the team is so ill-disciplined that it concedes its first two goals with the courtesy of not one, but two, fifty metre penalties while opening its own scoring with four behinds in a row and losing a talented youngster with good decision-making skills and a lethal left foot kick, subbed off in the first quarter with what looks like a bad knee injury.
