Green being used as the 7th defender, but Chaplin follows, so we lose our best forward for nothing.

Don't like Bailey's predicable decision to add a defender when the chips are down. Primus seems to have done his homework on us.

    Yep, that's over-reacting.

    This game is terrible, goes alongside West Coast and North Melbourne as our worst of the year. The margin could yet be our worst for the year. But we've made so many gains this year, to say one game late, with players out, with a young side, on the road, defines our year, is wrong.

    Newton finally does something, but misses the goal.

    15.5.95

    7.11.53

    I think the fact that it's happening late in the year when we should be starting to gel and hitting our straps is what is frustrating. Also the fact that we are showing no heart in a game that was ripe for us to do so.

    Plus, you can wipe 1 maybe 2 games off for the year but when it's at least 3 and they're spread out over the season it's very disheartening.

    Jurrah - recruit of the decade. Better than Swan at 58 in 2001

    No we are second to the footy and cant win a contest

    Nothing to do with the coach

    Just doesn't sound like we are handling the zone or the fact they matched up our loose defender, and doesn't seem like many changes have been made.

    Good sides beat those below them and that's why Collingwood always make the finals they always win these contests. We have to learn to get up for every game not just the Collingwood Grand Finals we play twice a year. We complain about the arrogance of Collingwood when they say that but it's true.

    They are hungrier, which is disgusting given it's Mcdonalds 250th and second last game, we have been unsettled a little re team selections, a few underperforming inclusions and mismatchs in our defensive 50- Frawley has been played up way too far IMO.

    Only positive out of this match has been Jurrah so far..

    I feel for McDonald. He deserved more of an effort from his troops today. Damn Sylvia and Davey would have helped however

    newton's last game

    Getting slammed on SEN for a lack of intensity and no influence on the game. A decent VFL player but rubbish at AFL.

    Guys we are loosimg badly but lets try and remember we have a team of kids who would be tired at this end of the season. Sylvia & Davey out, warnock is struggling with the speed the balls coming in and getting killed by Shultz, not sure why the switch hasnt been made

    Spot on. Does this come down to coaching, onfield leadership, or individual players though you think?

    Point is, it's mostly the kids that are trying though... think we are all more disappointed in the senior blokes

    You know you're in trouble when Shultz gets goals.

    Green's put in a second consecutive crap game. 10 disposals and just 1 mark. No coincidence we've lost both games.

    3/4 time

    PA 15.6.96

    Melb 8.11.59

    Edit: Meanwhile totally unrelated, it's not even half time at Etihad, and Brown's got 11 kicks, 3 handpasses, 12 marks and 3 goals 4 behinds.

    Edit: Make that 4.4. 100 DT points in the first half. 200th game. Nice work. Knights is gone.

    Hey, at least we're not Essendon. Crap coach, crap players, losing to Brisbane at home by 43 points

    Not what I am seeing but each to thier own.

    Not coping with thier forward pressure, struggling to win a close in contest anywhere. Zones not influencing this match.

    The Newton experiment is over.

    It never began.

    We tried, he failed. Time to move on.

    This is hands down the most disappointing game of the season. Have we won a single clearance this quarter? Where is Moloney?

    And both Garland and Warnock are getting smashed. Warnock especially, although I am more worried about Garland losing the plot, because Warnock is not part of our future.

    I'm only listening to it, so only going by what I hear, could be totally off the mark. Commentators have talked a bit about the zone etc.

    Another inside 50 to Port, Warnock's out of position again, gives another free kick away (number 3), Schulz will kick his 5th despite maybe pulling his hammy.

    • 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.
