AFLW: Rd 9 vs FNQ Hawks



Recommended Posts

Very proud of that last quarter effort. (Apart from the inaccuracy)

We were out on our feet but just pushed so hard.

Injuries just really destroyed us this year.

Hope Goldy is ok. She looked to be in a lot of distress. That was a nasty know.

Also a big shout out to the demon army. You make us proud.

Thursday night in Cairns and you're flying the flag @Katrina Dee Fan and @walkingcivilwar

valiant effort. plenty of perspiration but no inspiration

2 great chances to kick goals but unfortunately, we squibbed them. and thats the game

Hawks the better team overall and deserved the win

mathematically possible to make finals but chances close to zero

hopefully better luck next season. 

not all doom and gloom. some great experience for youngsters like Gall and Campbell. We're well set to bounce back next year.

Go Dees

Such a brave effort but Hawks had that little bit extra composure with the ball. So much to admire with this Melbourne team, they gave it their all but a few were running on empty at the end.  Too bad the AFL have no idea on fixturing and the less said about the umpiring the better.  Not saying they cost us the game but they were just generally bad.

2 minutes ago, whatwhat say what said:

feels like the story of 2024 - dees had heaps of opportunities and failed to perform when required

Poor take. We have been held back by injury all year. Give us Hore and Colvin and we would have comfortably taken them tonight.

Eliza West player of the match?! Really? Bates and Fleming were far more impactful.

Couldn't have picked a worse time to be injured Hore? Mithen is a spud, should have went to Geelong when she had the chance, must be traded. Fancy playing in Cairns this time of year pathetic scheduling.

Any chance Zanker could play in front?

Happens all too often George. She plays for the ball to get to her out the back. Rather see Gall as the deepest forward, because she attacks the ball in the air. Zanker was more effective at half forward.

Also like to see Bannon honour her teammates running into goal. Could have made a difference tonight.

She's not a spud, no one that plays at the level is a spud.

...but I think the game may have passed her by, too easily pushed off the ball and makes to many mistakes.

I think it's time to have a look at Rigoni...

Come on W both teams had to play in Cairns and as I live in Qld, Cairns at this time of year is not too bad. Be worse playing Dec - Feb. Just maybe the Hawks played a bit better and yes with Hore in we may have won but that is now just subject to maybes.

We lost because 

overhandballing 

lack of composure with the footy

umpires 

hawks are a solid team 

goldrick injury 

playing in humid cairns in late October 

and … 

CAPTAIN Kate Hore is one of two Demons who have been withdrawn from Narrm's clash against Hawthorn in Cairns on Thursday night.

The important midfielder/forward pulled up sore on Thursday morning, and has been withdrawn from the Demons' side as a precaution.

Defender Gabby Colvin, who was named to make her return from concussion against the Hawks, is also a late out after suffering a head knock at training and re-entering concussion protocols.

that was a hefty knock goldy copped there

That was a knee to the head. Umpiring is so bad (and it’s regularly very poor) they didn’t even pay a free kick. In the AFL, that’s clearly paid. The ump is as right there.  Sure it’s accidental, but still a free kick.  Losing Goldrick was a blow.  She’s had a good night and a very good season.

Mithen has had an extremely poor year, just turns the ball over, makes very poor decisions with the ball.  If it wasn't for our injuries she would and should have been dropped.

Rigoni should have come in 3 weeks ago, is quick runs with the ball and a smart player by hand and foot.

She is a premiership player for the Dees. A little bit of respect please.

She hasn't been good at all this year. If Beasley hadn't been injured, then i'm sure she would be playing instead of Lily. but she's been a great contributor over the journey for us.

Blumin hell Mick Sinnear is good. Lost by points, season 95% done and dusted and he delivers pretty much the perfect post match speech. Doesn’t sugar coat it, tells truths and says we will go hard against the Pies next week. Love it.

    2024 Player Reviews: #13 Clayton Oliver

    Lack of preparation after a problematic preseason prevented Oliver from reaching the high standards set before last year’s hamstring woes. He carried injury right through the back half of the season and was controversially involved in a potential move during the trade period that was ultimately shut down by the club.

    BLOODY BLUES by Meggs

    The conclusion to Narrm’s home and away season was the inevitable let down by the bloody Blues  who meekly capitulated to the Bombers.   The 2024 season fixture handicapped the Demons chances from the get-go with Port Adelaide, Brisbane and Essendon advantaged with enough gimme games to ensure a tough road to the finals, especially after a slew of early season injuries to star players cost wins and percentage.     As we strode confidently through the gates of Prin

    2024 Player Reviews: #5 Christian Petracca

    Melbourne’s most important player who dominated the first half of the season until his untimely injury in the Kings Birthday clash put an end to his season. At the time, he was on his way to many personal honours and the club in strong finals contention. When the season did end for Melbourne and Petracca was slowly recovering, he was engulfed in controversy about a possible move of clubs amid claims about his treatment by the club in the immediate aftermath of his injury.

    2024 Player Reviews: #2 Jacob van Rooyen

    Strong marking youngster who plays forward and relief ruck, continued to make significant strides forward in his career path. The Demons have high hopes for van Rooyen as he stakes his claim to become an elite attacking forward.

    LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

    The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.   To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya? To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die! It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres

    Date of Birth: 12 November 1999 Height: 197cm Games MFC 2024: 20 Career Total: 82 Goals MFC 2024: 9 Career Total: 28 Brownlow Medal Votes 3 Failed to fulfill the promise of his breakout six goal effort against the Tigers in 2023 and was generally disappointing as a key forward. It remains to be seen whether Simon Goodwin will persevere with him in attack or return him to the backline where he was an important cog in the club’s 2021 premiership success.

    2024 Player Reviews: #22 Blake Howes

    After a bright start to the season, playing mostly in defence, Howes seemed to lose his way in midseason but fought back with some good performances at Casey and finished the year back at AFL level.
