First Trac now Kozzi chasing down Hunt easily. I’m going to take the negative view and assume Hunt is now some slower than Brock McLean 😂

Fantastic that Viney is finally getting respect and recognition. I don’t think we would a have a flag without him - taking into account his on field performances but also his impact on the group over the past 7 years on and off the field he will go down as a Demon legend. Watch him dominate the next 4 years

Hang on, this is unbelievable! theres a place called Cockburn in Australia and I never knew about it?! move over Cockfosters we have a new clubhouse leader!

Hanks is looking like a Clarry out there! She has lost some weight and has a good step of pace now. Won the clearance and then followed up with the goal!

Maybe they can get some game at a Princes park or punt road? It’s crazy to be ‘Melbourne’ and not play in Melbourne. It will be difficult to build a fan base

Paxy was great last year! Won our BnF too. Not sure where you are coming from but don’t agree she has the most touches today. A bit rusty this year so far but still quality

Two games in inner city Melbourne and now a ‘home’ game at Casey. I would love to go to more games but I’m not going out of Melbourne to watch us. We need to find a home venue in Melbourne ASAP.

I hope the online trolls are enjoying watching Harris go about her business. "Overrated/4 goals in 8 game last year/" etc. she is having a massive impact on us in just 2 games. we have struggled to score in previous seasons but now we are keeping the ball inside 50 for longer due to her influence. she is so tough, a great mark and long kick and is only 24! We should be clear favourites for the flag, our recruiting and drafting has been spot on and most importantly we are playing as a team and fighting for each other. our pressure and intensity is terrific.

If McNamara could kick she could be a star she was everywhere in the first half

I agree but I think our players might be protecting themselves too much. Staying home etc I reckon they should all head to T Macs house and give him a hug!

Talked to Macca. Just came out of iso this morning

Can't see Covid having much of an impact. flash in the pan imo

I'm heading to the WO tonight for the game, should be a cracker. Our midfield is strong with Paxo and Hanks to dominate. We really need to grab some marks up fwd, pressure on Harris but I reckon shell do well over the season. Carn the demons!

Hi all, Just got my tickets for the two founding AFLW teams. Game is on Sat night at Whitten Oval, should be a cracker. I haven't heard of any of the girls having covid so hopefully it goes ahead as normal. Will be interesting to see how Harris goes, we certainly need some more goals Anyone else going? DubDee

True but This variant is different. Spreads way more quickly and relatively mild so people won’t know they have it and will keep going out and about. Therefore herd immunity could well be a factor. Hopefully we see it in the northern hemisphere soon and can learn from it before we stayed home and wanted donut days. Soon we’ll have 20K days like NSW. Plus I reckon way more people have and aren’t getting tested

Were you one of those that didn’t celebrate the Millennium on Dec 31st 1999? 😂

Hopefully by March a large proportion of us will have had covid without too much pressure on hospitals And finally some herd immunity will occur

T Mac and Brown are both getting on and injuries should be expected. You need three quality key fwds imo. most key fwds take several years to grow into Their bodies and the role. I know some adjust quicker. By 23 Brown had kicked 50 goals in his career I reckon he will come good and play an important role for us

I hear you and agree. However this strain spreads so easily that it gets out of control and hospitals can’t cope. We should be building more hospitals. Ireland tried to live with it but have now restricted all pubs and restaurants to closing at 8pm Just before Christmas

A 93pt turn around in a quarter and a half. Has to be greater. still can’t believe it happened!

Love the reports Fence. Merry Christmas to you and all DLers

We need to maintain stability and keep the group together. Longer term contracts are important for this stability. Eg if Goody had of being out of contract at the end of 2020 he may have not been extended and we wouldn’t have a flag. many were critical of the longish contract last time but it turned out to be a master stroke. happy with another 4-5 years for sure.

Good that players are taking breaks and clubs are supporting them. Do it early before issues become too much sounds like a combination of family and personal stuff. Taking a break now he’ll hopefully be fine soon

Clarry - what can you say? 3 BnFs at 24 years of age could go down as one the greatest ever Demons, top 3 ever. An absolute beast
