Scully is a gun. My god he is going to be amazing! :wub:

Apart from that, this quarter makes me want to burn my eyeballs with chlorine.

Horrible horrible decision making and use of the ball, which is pretty much the same old story every time we get on a plane and land in Adelaide.

We started like a house on fire, and kicking at goal cost us a very healthy lead. We are in general playing much better than the scoreboard reflects, and are getting enough of the ball and enough inside 50 entries, but we cannot make the most of our opportunities.

10 points is a nothing lead, and we are absolutely in this game.

P.S.- really good to see Watts take the big hit. Now he just needs to GO FOR GOAL!

    lets just hope port run out of legs having just 3 on the bench.... then again MFC have Morton, so i guess its even!!!

    So what's the joy with the morton bashingz sure his kicking is off today, but he certainly gets to the right places and has taken some really good contested marks. Now he just has to get the kicking part right, which he can do...

    Some stats:

    Jamar just 1 handpass, but doing well in terms of hitouts.

    Bennell 2 and 2.

    Bail 3 and 3, didn't hear his name once in the second quarter.

    Jones 2 and 4

    Watts 4 and 0, but 3 marks, a goal, and a great effort to wear a bump that got us a goal.

    On the other side,

    Bruce 9 and 13 (Cornes went to him and slowed him down)

    McDonald 9 and 7 (got nice words from Wakelin)

    Dunn 10 and 1 with a goal

    Moloney 4 and 10

    Who is playing on Boak and Gray?

    I actually think Bail has been OK.

    Dunn clearly our best at half time. Step up Bradley Green!

    Turns it over far too much. Of his 7 handpasses in the first quarter I reckon he turned 3 of them over.

    Poor decision making though, a few turnovers.

    Not sure, I know Jones is on Pearce. I'd hazard a guess that McKenzie or McDonald have one of those jobs. Maybe Bail.

    Green playing up the ground. Should be forward.

    Edit: Garland's on Gray.

    This thread is up and down like the Titanic!!

    Some kicking errors severely costing us, otherwise we'd be 5 goals in front.

    Not some of the doom & gloom here. Hopefully we can use the ball better and win this game.

    Go Dees!!

    Am only listening but seems like were being wasteful and too cute. Players oughtn't be out there if they're going to squib their jobs. No place for scaredy cats... Ffs kick it. Even more convinced Morton needs to be moved on if he can't turn ability into a game.

    What's disappointing is a lack of intensity, far, far too many turnovers, and Port being allowed to do as they please at times through the middle.

    • 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.
