The game with the infamous pre-bounce wrestling match between Jakovich and Gayfer. Watch how the trimmed down Jako recovers to take the first mark and kick the first goal. The back problem rares its ugly head in this pre-season contest. Also contains memorable contributions from Stynes, Tingay, Rohde and others. Watch for a youthful Schwartz and Neitz, while Pike makes his debut.

    Part2 of the Ist Quarter is now up. Watch for the rumble at 11mins 50secs in, when Schwartz goes in to help his mate Neitz.

    You gotta remember, 45HG16, he was just a kid and Monkie and Ronnie were hardened campaigners. It doesn't bother me that the heavier brute ended up on top. What I admire was the willingness to fly the flag.

    Yeah fair enough.

    Does anyone have footage of him taking out Hird in the granny? Him and Ward were the only ones to fly the flag that day... from memory...of the cancelled game...

    Remember sitting and watching this at the game and thinking our football club will never win anything while we have blokes who are more frightened of their shadows on the list and not prepared to defend their team-mates...what was McDonald thinking just after Simmonds got nailed...looks like he is asking Long if he wants a cup of tea...too many blokes who lacked the inner pit-bull....shame really.

    Sadly we only had Schwarz. It was a moment when 6 or 7 MFC players needed to rush in and throw whatever weight they had around. Long shouldh've felt the full force of not only a player but of the ground. We let them bully us that day and it was a real pity.

    My big concern about the current crop is Are they hard enough? Not since the Northey days have we matched teams for strength and desire for sustained periods.

    Fair to say I had steam pouring out of all the pores in my body. Fuming at Michael Long, and fuming by the inaction of certain members of the team after this incident. McDonald was certainly one of them, first on the scene - it was more like he was asking Long if he wanted one scone or two. Real powder-puff stuff.

    When it's a final, a GF, FFS show some anger and stick up for your teammate. Ox was fighting a lone hand.

    Jeez, only watched part 1 so far but how good was Tingay? Forgot what an absolute gun he was. Shame his career was ruined through injury.

    Spot on, adsy! Stay tuned for the 2nd qtr, which I hope to have up tonight, where Tingay goes to half time with 20+ possessions!

    waiting for part 3. Is it up? Great to watch. Pike was good too. Phil Gilbert, always a spud.

    Here's part 3.

    Tingay is absolutely on fire in this qtr. A highlight is the coast to coast goal 9 minutes in. More to come later tonight.

    and now, part 4

    Hopgood shows some dash... Stinga continues on his merry way, Pike gives Bruce cause for adulation and a few lesser lights (Robbins & Doyle) have an impact.

    • 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.
