    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?

    Very!

    'Twas all a nice tonic today after my last two trips here!

    Gee I wonder how uncomfortable that mask is that liv is wearing 

    She says it just pinches the nose a bit; otherwise she forgets she's got it on until an oppo player tries a Batmobile sledge!

    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.

    • PREGAME: Western Bulldogs

      With only 3 games to go, all against Top 8 fancies, the Demons face a daunting task as they return to the MCG when they play the Western Bulldogs. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      The Demons return to town fresh off a thumping win over the back-to-back wooden spooners, the West Coast Eagles, played in front of a sparse crowd at Marvel Stadium, the same venue that hosted last week's heartbreaking loss.

    • PREVIEW: West Coast

      It was bad enough that the Melbourne Football Club created yet another humiliating scenario inside its wretched season at Marvel Stadium last Sunday, but the final insult is that it has been commanded to return to the scene of the crime to inflict further punishment on its fans this week. Incidentally, if this match preview, of a game that promises to be one of the most unattractive fixtures in the history of the game, happens to cut out of your computer screen three quarters of the way through, it’s no coincidence. I’ll be mirroring the Demons’ lacklustre effort against St Kilda from last Sunday when they conceded the largest last quarter turnaround for victory in the history of the game.

    • 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.
