Who was at the now infamous Melb v Freo this year?

The MCC reserve holds 22,000, so I guess the answer is no.

I never realised the MCC held so many. It'd be great if we could convince them to let in the first 5000 MFC members who show up on these dismal crowd days. Could help both our bottom lines. Hell why not 10,000. MCC members wouldn't like letting in the great unwashed but it'd be for a good cause.

The worst game for the year was the Adelaide game. Freezing cold, raining all day but not during the game, 4:40 Sunday start.

I think the Dees vs Tigs game was the worst game of AFL football I have ever witnessed. I went with a mate who is a Tig's fan and we were laughing by midway through the 2nd term and in hysterics by the end. It was the least skilled game of football I have witnessed coupled with the fact we were trying to loose make it the worst game I have ever seen.

I wasn't there, the weather put me off something shocking.

The weather was dreadful on the way to the G, but cleared up nicely for the game.

Damn staight. Basically the only time it rained (and it poured) was when I was walking from Richmond station to Gate 2. Got soaked. Then got to the ground, opened my bag for the inspection, and saw the umbrella I forgot I had...

Plus we flooded the whole game and got our first goal half way through the 3rd from Lynden Dunn if I remember correctly. Also I think Juice missed a couple of sitters. We were also in with a chance half way through the last until Tippett slotted a couple.

Agree. That game, as a match of football (Melbourne aside) was horrible. About the complete opposite of how the game should be played.

The fact that a team can be goalless until halfway throught the third quarter and still be in with a chance to win (though you have to say, if you've managed 1 goal in 3 quarters, kicking the 4 to get in front could be a tough ask) proves how unbelievably disgusting that match was.

In terms of a spectacle, that was clearly the worst game I've seen live (possibly ever). But the worst experience I've had was the Richmond game. Actually hoping McMahon would kick that goal was just sickening.

I was there both games vs Adelaide round 5 and Freo Round 20. Putting the club down if you didn`t attend. round 20, the weather was actually fine when you got there. hopefully we don`t have too many home games against interstate teams at the G.

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.

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.
