    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?

    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.

    • REPORT: Carlton

      I am now certain that the decline in fortunes of the Melbourne Football Club from a premiership power with the potential for more success to come in the future, started when the team ran out for their Round 9 match up against Carlton last year. After knocking over the Cats in a fierce contest the week before, the Demons looked uninterested at the start of play and gave the Blues a six goal start. They recovered to almost snatch victory but lost narrowly with a score of 11.10.76 to 12.5.77. Yesterday, they revisited the scene and provided their fans with a similar display of ineptitude early in the proceedings. Their attitude at the start was poor, given that the game was so winnable. Unsurprisingly, the resulting score was almost identical to that of last year and for the fourth time in succession, the club has lost a game against Carlton despite having more scoring opportunities.

    • CASEY: Carlton

      The Casey Demons smashed the Carlton Reserves off the park at Casey Fields on Sunday to retain a hold on an end of season wild card place. It was a comprehensive 108 point victory in which the home side was dominant and several of its players stood out but, in spite of the positivity of such a display, we need to place an asterisk over the outcome which saw a net 100 point advantage to the combined scores in the two contests between Demons and Blues over the weekend.

    • POSTGAME: Carlton

      A near full strength Demons were outplayed all night against a Blues outfit that was under the pump and missing at least 9 or 10 of the best players. Time for some hard decisions to be made across the board.
