Keyser Sose, are you always right? What a sad fella you seem to be. Hope it all improves for you.

Curry and Beer you have made some good posts, but why make that last stupid post?

I don't think you guys have much of an idea how AFL footy works and what supporters expectations are.

I actually expect more from our club and will not make excuses for them. I call it as I see it. Sometimes I get it wrong. I am not blinded by loyalty. I absolutely expect success soon and if not I demand changes.

I also reckon if someone has a different point of view to mine, so be it. I wont hammer them on it.

I am not so sure that some that cast the aspersions on here are all that they think they are!

Predictable posts from both of you, quite humorous in fact!

Sad? Not at all.

If only you knew...

    This post comes across to me as patronising, towards those on Demonland who didn't like the tactics employed on Sunday. Sure, most (me included) over-use the word 'gameplan', but I still believe that putting 17-18 men behind the ball isn't a good move, regardless of whether it's flooding, or the coach's best idea of how to win a game, or whether it's just the players reacting to a game situation.

    And I think you should respect other people's views.

    Patronising, yeah maybe. I think you've taken it to heart a bit. Considering the post followed several light hearted banter posts.

    Fwiw, whether there is an instruction to push the players up the ground, etc (debatable - * Note Bailey denied "flooding*) it can be determined as part of a game plan. It was a comment made in light of views expressed (in the Game plan thread) that Bailey doesn't have a game plan - even though it was acknowledged (& disliked) that players looked to be being played behind the ball leaving not much up forward in the Freo game (ie. a plan ?). Which I find quite enlightening.

    I'd like to think I respect other's views more often than not, where applicable.

    I know it has been said before and will be said again but bring on the season. That way we can discuss the gameplan (or lack thereof), the players efforts (or lack thereof), the skills (or lack thereof) and where we really are at after seeing a REAL game or two rather than this mickey mouse competition that each of the 16 clubs view and treat differently that the others.

    Agreed. As it's been said before it's still February. Well March now. lol. Moving right along.

    • 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.
