Respect not finals...Green

Good to see they have perspective and rationale. I can understand that many just want to see us playing finals. But theres a time and a place for all things and the necessity of finishing top 8 this year just ( for mine ) isnt one .

Lets get the machine runnig right, then take it racing !! ;)

    Respect should definately be our objective given our current ladder position and stage of development as a team. Essendon are a young team who played finals last year ....... they are now widely seen as having gone backwards in 2010. I would hate for our team to be seen in that light. We are much better placed in the 'respect stakes' than Essendon, to a large degree because we are methodically following a plan, and we havn't got too far ahead of ourselves. September action will come soon enough if we stick to the plan.

    Playing finals is not the goal...playign finals on the way to winning a premiership is !!

    It not about making up numbers...its about triumphing !!

    Agreed. We were never a realistic chance and nor did most of us expect us to be. I just want to see them continue to improve on the game style and aggression. The rest will take care of itself.

    I agree. Leave the dreaming about winning 4/7 games in the run home and stealing 8th to the supporters.

    I see the point being made in the 'making up numbers' v 'triumphing' argument, but obviously it would be fantastic for our kids to play even 1 game in September.

    At least we're guaranteed of playing in September next year. ;) Although it is pending: -

    Playing finals last year hasn't helped Essendon. In fact there's a reasonable argument that it has hurt them.

    I think young Brad learnt from his 2007 mistake.

    • 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.
