    6 goal lead. Tigers kicked 3 to get within 13 points but Dees held on. 
     

    Great win over a top 4 team.

    Good win, but disappointing we gave up those last few goals

    Yep, but it was a good side doing it, as you'd expect of them, not a poor side letting it happen.

    But our girls managed to stop them - dead - on 95% of available occasions.

    How good is it to actually hear the theme song at the end of the game?

    We could win the next two and still miss out - what a shame and what a condemnation of such a lop sided shambles of a fixture.

    It's messy isn't it. Was sort of a 'friend', though, it seems, over those compressed last 3?

    back on so can't have been much

    I think Zanker hurt her wrist/hand (maybe fingers) in a pack marking fall. She got up shaking her hand and in a big of discomfort. I don't think it was mentioned by the commentators.

    Great game from the girls.

    Gee I wish they could find cameramen or a producer that can actually see where the ball is and not show players standing by themselves while the action is off screen.

    6 - Bannan - 4 goals,  a direct assist and 3 other score involvements. 

    5 - Hore  - another class in captaincy 

    4 - Hanks - so often in the right place at the right time 

    3 - Heath - limited Conti's influence and got her own ball

    2 - Purcell - tough as teak and makes a huge difference to our midfield 

    1 - Gall - has had a great few weeks. Really strong today, especially her first half

    I hope I can vote after watching the replay. I'm afraid I go to our goals, at fence level, every quarter, so can't do the backs or even the mids justice in my 'live' perceptions.

    That being said, it's getting to be some forward line!

    Particularly good on a number of fronts, Biff, so I reckon worth slightly more than just a 'Thanks' emoji in this case 👍 🙂

    Super effort today. Both teams threw everything at each other in a high intensity game. Great game to watch, our girls showed so much tenacity in their attack on the players and ball.  We are developing some great young talent as well, just great to see.

    • The Clayton Oliver Thread

      Melbourne have held talks with Clayton Oliver and they’ve laid out where he fits in under Steve King’s vision and been frank about expectations. Oliver is still under contract for five years, but the door is open if he wants to explore his options elsewhere.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Essendon

      It’s Pink Lady night at Princes Park — a vibey Friday evening setting for a high-stakes clash between second-placed Melbourne and eleventh-placed Essendon. The wind-sheltered IKON Park, a favourite ground of the Demon players, promises flair, fire and a touch of pink. Melbourne has never lost a home-and-away game here, though the ghosts of two straight-sets finals exits in 2023 still linger.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 1 Steven May 

      The premiership defender has shown signs of wear and tear due to age, and his 2025 season was inconsistent, ending poorly with a suspension and a noticeable decline in performance. The Demons are eager to integrate younger players onto their list and have indicated that they may not be able to guarantee him senior games next season, in what would be the final year of his contract.

    • 2025 Player Reviews: # 2 Jacob van Rooyen

      The young key tall failed to make progress during the season, with a decline in his goal kicking output. His secondary role as a backup ruckman, which may have hindered his ability to further develop his game, and he was also impacted by the team's poor forward connection. It will be interesting to observe his performance under a new coaching regime.
