    I just watched some of the reply of the first quarter of round 1 and the boys were having a decent crack and weren't completely being smashed from the outset thats for sure. Most of the hawthorn goals came from bad turnovers. I'd like to think that our boys are playing with a lot more skill and confidence at this stage of the season and although turnovers are still an issue they seem to be less often. Probably most different will be the forward line set up which is looking far different and more potent that round one (Jake Spencer as a forward target!?) although hawks were also down a few players. I think we should be in with a real chance if the guys are on song but would be pleasantly surprised (and thrilled!) if we did manage to get over the line as I think our form has probably tapered off a little, i.e. second half of Brissy game and arguably for most of the Richmond match bar some patches and the the last quarter.

    Nevertheless, exciting times to be a Demon fan regardless of the result, and even if we don't make the finals I'd be stoked if we could knock of Port to put to sleep the AAMI stadium hoodoo (even better if Tapscott debuts in from of his home state and rubs it in their faces with a fine performance) and smash North at the 'G to avenge for their habit of beating up on bottom eight sides while almost always getting spanked by the top eight teams (Carlton and Freo excepted - but they have shown to be soft at times this season so wouldn't consider either to be big scalps and at least we have gone close with Collingwood twice and the Doggies and had a chance of upsetting Freo at Subi)

    STRAUSS!! SPENCER!! MILLER!!!!!!!!! Wow we really went for the unknowns there!

    Now we have Bail and Bartram playing consistently (especially Bartram) as well as Watts, Aussie and Jurrah all getting a regular run. And PJ who is a much better 2nd ruckman than Spencer.

    Bate, Petterd, Grimes, Warnock (??) won't be playing this week either.

    A vastly different side against Hawthorn this time round. C'mon Dees!

    Full credit to you for taking in any of that Round 1 game.

    You would no doubt be a fully paid up member of the Hellfire club wanting to watch that again!

    • 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.
