    Soooo good to sing our song! Super proud of our team, they did us proud. The atmosphere was crazy good, and as cold as it is we didn’t feel it… too much to be excited about!

    PS fourth Red Bull wearing off… about to hit the wall… hard. 😅

    I know Purcell got a lot of it and was very good. To me though she was still only the second best on ground.

    We should be used to it but how clean is Tyla Hanks! Also for one of the shortest players on the ground she is stupidly good getting the ball out to a player running past when being tackled.

    But easily the play of the day for me was with a couple of minutes to go in the 4th there is a ball up at CHF. A WB player has a hold on Hanks and the ball goes to ground. Tyla takes off, gathers the ball clean as and sprints away from the pack. She has a look around and decides she is on the best position and, oh so casually, puts it over the goal umpires head. I don’t like comparing with the men’s game but you won’t see anything more pure than that over there either.

    That was a joy to watch: relentless pressure, slick movement and a team playing for each other.

    This should be on the main board.

    What a team this has been to watch. So hard at it for so long. Purcell is a machine and she in unfairly compared to Tyla who is a cleaner, more efficient machine…

    Love Heath and McNamara for their dare and run.

    Ebert looked good I thought down back with Lampard and Chaplin.

    And hope Tayla is ok - I have a soft spot for selfless CHF who demand the ball in the right spots and put a knee through that spot. Just love having her there. You’d walk taller with her there.

    Fantastic game..have watched this team & been a member since inception. The growth is amazing & exciting. Should have opened the season with the Dees..they showcase the improvement of women’s football. It isn’t the men’s game ..it’s a different game but so exciting because we are now seeing the girls who have played since they’re 6 yrs old transitioning into experienced players. Shocking the timing of our game ..just impossible for me to go to MCG & then out to Mission Oval but the AFL is useless on most things unless you’re the big 4 in Victoria..but get behind our girls..you’re in for a great ride

    They're a delight. Brightened my mood after a deeply depressing showing from the men.

    Absolutely loved Maggie Mahony's game. I reckon we've found one there. The tackling was obviously excellent, but I think she just looks a natural footballer. Brilliant hands in close.

    I wasn't able to watch last nights game live so lived it through the score updates/stats (AFL site) and comments on here, is there a replay available anywhere?

    Great start to a hopefully successful year.

    Thanks, I've tried to avoid Kayo this season.

    They annoy me with their fake offers.

    Great first up game by the girls. Started a bit slow and they have to adjust to the new holding the ball rule which is a lot stricter.

    Chaplin, Purcell and Hanks. But what's with Tayla. I think we should just sit her out of game 1 every year :( Hopefully it was better by the end of the game. though her pack marking was great.

    Gee it was crowded around the ball. It would be nice to see some big long handballs out of packs to space to break, but its a different game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
