AFLW: Rd 11 vs Brisbane

Massive game. I think Brisbane are the 3rd best side in the comp. Hawthorn have won a lot of close games, their position on the ladder doesn't reflect their form.

Possible team:

B: Lampard, Gillard

HB: Goldrick, S.Taylor, Chaplin

C: McNamara, Hanks, Paxman

HF: Fitzsimon, Harris, Wotherspoon

F: Bannan, Zanker

FOLL: Pearce, Hore, Heath

IC: O'Hehir, Ebert, Rigoni, Gall, Mackin

    It's a big one, and I agree that Brisbane are better than Hawthorn.

    Finally some options at the selection table!

    We’re 0-2 for interstate games. Here’s to third time lucky. The lions are no slouches. Courtney Hodder is one to look out for. When she gets off the leash she’s hard to stop.

    Perhaps I am basing this on past performance but I have the order atm as Nth, Lions and then us. Hope to be proven wrong next weekend

    The team flies out tomorrow morning. There’ll be a captain’s run tomorrow afternoon at Brighton Homes Arena.

    *Fun Fact: when playing interstate the team flies out the day before gameday, except for games in QLD or WA when they fly out two days before gameday. For the men, that is. The women fly out the day before gameday regardless of which state they’re playing in.

    I picked the side correctly, well done me! The coach knows what he's doing.

    ❤️💙 GAMEDAY! ❤️💙

    The penultimate H&A match already. This season is flying by so quickly.

    Before last week’s match we (the DA) were saying of the final three regular games, while 3-0 would be absolutely awesome, realistically we should expect, and be happy with, 2-1. Brisbane on their deck is quite the challenge. But it’s not impossible, so ima go with…

    The Dees by *Tyla Hanks aka the ⭐️ (five points)

    Brighton homes arena is a special place for us. We crashed Brisbane’s housewarming party on the big day in 2022 🏆 ❤️💙

    GO OUT THERE & GIVE ‘EM HELL, DEES!!!

    *I told Hanksy that any reference to her usually includes a star, a gem or a diamond. She said it’s a whole team thing but I could tell she loves it 🥰

    Folks who are attending the match are welcome to approach our cheer squad for a flag or even to help with the banner. For banner duties you must be 13 or older, and wear closed-toe shoes. You also need to get there super early.

    Entry through Gates 1, 2 and 6

    Gates open at 4pm (AEST)

    Big game tonight, probably decides whether we play Brisbane in the semi final (if we lose today) or Hawthorn (if we win).

    • PODCAST: 2026 Season Preview

      The boys previewed the 2026 Season sharing their early impressions of the new coach, the new players, observations from preseason training, and what they've made of the new game style. They also look ahead to the season with their predictions, the players they expect to rise, their expectations for the team, and what they see as a realistic pass mark for Melbourne in 2026.

    • PREVIEW: St. Kilda

      When the Demons blew their 46-point lead at Marvel Stadium in Round 20 last year, the fallout was enormous. Like an event straight out of a Shakespearean tragedy, Melbourne’s final-quarter collapse left fans reeling and the club grappling with the aftermath.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.
