    The standard of AFLW is improving every season.

    One areawhere it has improved out of sight is marking - more terrific marks and a lot fewer easy ones dropped.

    Save for one poor kick its been good to see Pisano involved in a few score involvements. She has the ability to add another dynamic to our forward line.

    One handball too many in some plays. Unlikely to hold up against North

    That's the million dollar question.

    Can our game style hold up against the roos' uber pressure come finals?

    I have my doubts, but I love that stinnear has stuck to his guns game style wise.

    So I sez, I sez, "I can't wait for the moment our whole forward line stands up on the same day.'

    Wuz wut I sez.

    Just waiting for Bannan to bring her fitness to bear and dominate the late game, then we've got pretty much a full set.

    McNamara had been everywhere, would only be fair for her to snag at least one goal.

    That sort of forward play is what got Pisano drafted, hopefully we see a bit more of it in the coming weeks!

    Gilliard hasn't been too rusty considering its her first game back after a layoff

    From a percentage perspective, it's pretty frustrating to let them kick the last 3.

    Looking at the ladder I'm not sure percentage will be a big determinant for us but not running out the game is not great.

    comprehensive 50 point win. we'll take that

    Zanker tore the game apart with 5 in the first half. couldn't keep that pace going though

    complete performance across the board. no passengers

    great to get last weeks game out of the system

    5-1 we're in a great position. getting players back from injury too

    go dees

    The forward line of this team is a beautiful thing, love watching it in action. Also I used to get frustrated with Paxy's decision making, but this season she's been excellent - if anything she's too unselfish going inside fifty. Impressed with Taylor's game today too.

    Overall a lot to like, we're definitely amongst the best but North are the pace setters here and the path to the premiership is going to be through them.

    Kind of an optimal result, really.

    Credit to us for crushing an opponent so decisively, and also credit to coach Daisy for being able to convince a thrashed team to come out and give something substantial in the final quarter.

    With the return of Gillard and Goldrick, it appears Chaplin is getting some time in the midfield

    Yes, it seems she comes in for centre bounces and then drops back.

    I think this is a good move by Mick to give her more exposure in the midfield as with Purcell out it gives us a bit more strength at centre bounces.

    Well worth persisting with.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.
