Despite being an early adopter of the "list management" strategy for this year, I did.

I'll also take Queen's Birthday, one of the Geelong games, and a toss up between round 18 vs Richmond or round 21 vs Carlton to help one of them to 9th place.

    I love a good priority pick as much as anyone, but today's game was one of only a handful where we actually had a chance of winning, so yes, I was very keen for a victory.

    It's nice for the young boys, and in fact for the whole team, to get a reward early in the season and a bit of a boost. It validates their hard work, and it gives supporters hope.

    From here on in, we have a very tough run of games and the possibility of winning before the mid-season break is slim. So enjoy today, and cherish it. It's going to be a long while before we get to celebrate another win.

    Perfect time for a win.

    Gets the monkey off our back, keeps all media focus firmly on richmond and freo.

    We needed a early win to get the membership tally up to 30,000.

    I'm all for the 'list managment' approach too, but we really do have a fairly harsh run for awhile.

    Hooley Dooley. We're in for a rough one. Even the Eagles match will be tricky. Without Green against the Crows, even at the G, will be a tough one too. The others, forget about it.

    For mine, I was starting to get prickly at the suggestion we wouldn't win a game. Now with that taken care of, the people who opened their big traps (Newman, BT etc etc) will now look like prize gooses having been proven wrong within a week. The current 22 deserved a win as their endeavour over recent weeks (for the most part) has been top-notch. A few ugly injuries, as well as some horrible skills have contributed to their troubles.

    Hopefully this plays us into some confidence. Particularly guys like Sylvia who surely now must notice that when they put in, they not only get results, but they can be largely responsible for a win.

    I reckon we'll all be happy if they're competitive every game from here on - even if we lose them all. Although, I would have been devastated if they had lost yesterday's game in the last 5 minutes.

    Looking at the fixture, I can only see another 2 wins - maybe 3.

    Agree. When I saw Jimma mark the ball in the cheer squad after the goal, full of emotion in front of 40,100 -odd. (which should of been 48,000 if Richmond supporters were fair dinkum) I thought, we'll win this.

    Loved it when Rivers sledged a toiger for squibbing it too.

    I think we're a good chance against the Crows at the 'G. We beat them in the 2007 season.

    Yes, we will easily beat the crows from coming off a great win. Our fans will be in full voice next Sunday, the Boys will be working hard and playing like we did against the Tigers. I reckon we'll beat Hawthorn in Round 9 as well.

    I'm sorry, but did anyone actually see Adelaide play last Saturday night? I've a strange feeling we'll be right back down to Earth in a week's time. That's not to say I don't want us to win, though.

    They are coming on to our home turf.

    We will smash them from he get go.

    With a rejuvenated Moloney, Sylvia , McLean and Jones, the Crows wont know what hit them.

    I more than anyone love a high pick especially pick 1 and 2 if we dont win more than 4 games. BUT I think so much came out of the win today. I personally forgot how good the feeling was when we win. all the players needed and lift and need to know how good it is when we win. The clubs spirits will be higher and the younger players now will have even more drive to be succesfull. In saying this we still wont win 5 games this year. But after the match i realised a win for the boys was definantly a good thing. GO deess :rolleyes:

    We're only 1 win out of the 8...

    And only one behind those "certain finalists" the Carltankers.

    They have to come over here this time . Big show this week.

    A bit of a show against Adelaide.

    Me? I want to do the Dogs.

    That's a mission statement.

    If we lose a priority pic so be it - winning is what counts. I "barracked" against us round 22 a few years back for the Sylvia/McLean double. It's a rotten feeling.

    • 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.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Richmond

      Round four kicks off early Saturday afternoon at Casey Fields, as the mighty Narrm host the winless Richmond Tigers in the second week of Indigenous Round celebrations. With ideal footy conditions forecast—20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze — expect a fast-paced contest. Narrm enters with momentum and a dangerous forward line, while Richmond is still searching for its first win. With key injuries on both sides and pride on the line, this clash promises plenty.
