An apt comparison. SOS was the definition of overrated

When : Friday 21st at 7.10pm Where: RSEA Park (Moorabbin Oval) Another Friday night game for the Demons who have defeated fellow finals aspirants, the Kangaroos and the Bulldogs, over the past fortnight. We are in form and playing good, confident football. The Saints on the other hand are an expansion team coming off two losses and who have a percentage hovering around the 50 mark. This has danger game written all over it. Probably the biggest advantage we will have over the Saints is that our team has had the benefit of four years playing and training together. Even our emerging talent of Hanks, Zanker and Heath (all 20yo or younger) have had at least two years in the system, whilst some of older heads in D. Pearce, O’Dea, Paxman, Downie and Scott have been there since day one. Someone will probably prove me wrong but I wouldn’t be surprised if we have had the most stable list since the launch of AFLW. For that reason alone we should win. Go Dees

For those concerned about having only Jetta chosen play this game, these are the players chosen from the teams we play in the first two weeks of the season. Yeo Sheppard Coniglio Cameron Haynes Whitfield Kelly Greene If I’m a GWS supporter in particular I’d be pooing myself about injuries to any of those players. No way I want our equivalent (Gawn, Oliver, Petracca, TMac, Viney) playing this game. It’s not worth it

What did the Bulldogs coach say pineapple? Birch said something about cracks appearing in the Dogs playing list or something?

I have no idea where to put this but another reason to like women’s footy. No way in the world this happens in the men’s game. All too homogenised, pasteurised, cleansed, disinfected and scripted https://womens.afl/news/45118/magpies-defender-describes-harris-as-useless-

Some of Shelley Scott’s and Kate Hore’s marking would have been considered good on a dry day let alone in the pouring rain. A lot of smart plays in general too with tapping the ball over the back and trying to keep it moving our way. Played the conditions perfectly. It’s also nice coming on this AFLW match day thread and not have the “skill level isn’t as good as the men’s comp” crowd to contend with.

Daisy playing with and organising the backs could end up being an inspired move. The Luke Hodge of the AFLW.

I think Mick Nolan with a playing weight of 135 kg would give Sam a run for his money.

Was going to go for a B & F style draw but looks as though Max has this one sewn up and I’m not going to help Oliver’s chances Gawn

“The Demons hope to see Mithen and Pearce to return against Collingwood in Round 4, which would provide a major boost for their midfield.” It would be great to get through the next couple of weeks injury free and then and Pearce and Mithen for the Pies game. It would be as full strength as we are likely to be this year.

Anyway back to the footy Ppaxman is a ripper isn’t she, O’Dea got better as the game went on, Hore kept us alive early, you can sort of tell Zanker loves the jumper and Birch has been a great pick up. Bloody handy to win the fist game. Keeps us on the front foot Looking forward to next Friday

Is that the Sarah Perkins who played for Adelaide? Interesting if so.

This for me too please

So was the fifth a difficult pregnancy and so punished by not getting a Melbourne membership? Or perhaps the perfect pregnancy and thus he/she was granted the freedom to choose their own destiny?

Really? You are an avid follower of this club Webber and you can’t see how this could possibly go pear shaped for Gus? Given our injury history I’d be amazed if he still has two arms by Rnd 1.

That’s fantastic, a great read. Thank you much Dees in. October photos from the club website. Zanker should smile more https://www.melbournefc.com.au/albums/557146/aflw-practice-match-gallery-vs-collingwood?modal=true&type=gallery&playlistId=557146&playlistSize=19
