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

  • 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?
