thats it Newton is officially the worst player in the AFL

    Newton cannot handle the pressure of top level football. Wona, Robbo, Watts etc. etc. as soon as one of those are available for selection Juice needs to be dropped. His effort is OK, he's just not up to it.

    We just need to stop bombing the ball long and start playing smart patient football - we are getting plenty of the contested ball. Dees need to lift in the last QTR especially for Bartram.

    Did we just win a quarter? This might be the weirdest game I've listened to...

    Thomas said at one point that "Melbourne won't know this, but they have Adelaide if they want 'em."

    The umpires have been crucifying us, particularly in our forward line.

    On one hand I feel for the demons, as they have tried hard, gotten first to the ball, worked hard. It's just our forwards may as well not be playing. I've never heard a forward line with so little likelihood of scoring chances.

    And then when we get a shot or two, we can't kick them from the square... more than once!

    I'm not sure whether or not to be completely [censored] off... I might leave it to those who were at the game. Jaded and others, over to you.

    We're not out of this! :lol: :lol: :lol:

    The thing is, IF, and it's a HUGE if, we could possibly kick the first two goals inside the first 10 minutes of the last quarter we are only 2 goals down!! Wishful thinking after only kicking one goal for the match but we certainly aren't out of the game. But you're right, our forwards haven't had a sniff today, although I guess the weather hasn't helped. It's not like the Crows have kicked 12 goals themselves so it's not just us.

    Sad to say, I think the same can be said of Miller. Big on effort, sadly lacking in execution.

    And they kick the first goal of the last quarter. Game over.

    Back on the bottom. ;)

    The frustrating part about todays game was that we had opportunities but just don't have the polish yet. It will just take time.

    I honestly don't know what to make of this loss. Kicking 4 goals is far from good, although the Crows kicked only 7 and we lost by 17 points. Compare that to last years game where we lost by over 10 goals and it seems we have improved... yet we haven't really.

    Backline stood up well, midfield had a crack and our forward line was terrible. Bate, Newton and Miller all had under 10 touches each and neither of them kicked a goal. That just can't happen.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
