Casey Fields

One coast conquered, onto the next one.

One beloved former Dee vanquished (respectfully), onto the next one!

Lily Mithen is having her best season statistically since 2022A and clearly playing a big role for the Suns, who gave Adelaide a run for their money on the weekend. Hopefully it'll be her former teammates leading a conga line to victory this pre- Grand Final Public Holiday Friday!

Whilst it is still very early days, Lily’s departure to Gold Coast is probably a win/win for both clubs. Gold Coast get a heart and soul player with heaps of experience. She is one of only 3 current Suns players to have played more than 50 games and is 20 (2 seasons worth) ahead of the next most experienced. As a comparison we have 11 players with 50+. She is also having a consistent year averaging 15+ disposals.

As for us we ended up with Molly O who could be a 15 year player with us. Already she has shown plenty of dash off half back with good foot skills. I assume she will ultimately end up being a tall (very tall) mid.

GCS are by a long way the worst defence in the league. (400 points against with number 17 at 329)

Attacking they are solidly mid table.

On paper should be a good win (but always beware of Goodwin Sands)

 

We had a good win against West Coast with Zanker on fire early, but we would be disappointed with our last quarter out pressured and out scored against. We have to put the pressure on for all 4 quarters, not just when we feel like it.

My possible team

B: Colvin, Gillard

HB: Goldrick, S.Taylor, Chaplin

C: McNamara, Hanks, Paxman

HF: Fitzsimon, Harris, Bannan

F: Gall, Zanker

FOLL: Pearce, Hore, Heath

IC: O'Hehir, Pisano, Wortherspoon, D.Taylor, Campbell

EMERG: Mahony, Ebert, Rigoni

  • AFLW REPORT: West Coast

    Melbourne’s response to last week’s heartbreak was emphatic, as the Demons delivered a statement win over West Coast at a windswept Casey Fields. All of the pre-match hype surrounded the coach’s box matchup of Mick Stinear up against his apprentice, Daisy Pearce along with the gloomy weather forecast. In the end, it was less about tactical chess and more about Melbourne’s relentless execution. With rain looming, the DeeArmy and early birds snapped up the best undercover viewing spots.

  • 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.
