THE LAST TIME THEY MET

It was in the first half of 2010 but who could ever forget the day when our colours were red and pink and we nicely matched the umpires. So much so that we found a new way to lose a game - by handballing to an umpire instead of a teammate.

I reckon we owe the Dogs one for that game. They kicked the last two goals and just fell in.

    That's 10-12 MFC players difference in one year, with Cameron Bruce, James McDonald, Daniel Hughes and Paul Johnson no longer at the club and Matthew Warnock, Clint Bartram, Lynden Dunn, Aaron Davey, Jack Grimes, Neville Jetta, Joel Macdonald, Michael Newton out of favour or likely to be out injured...

    PJ was horrendous that night.

    A couple of goal-umpire decisions went against us too. Green's scissor kick and then Lake allegedly touching Bate's (IIRC) long bomb. Also IIRC, one was definitely a goal and one was a behind, so we got dudded there.

    Seem to remember Danny Hughes doing his job pretty well and kicked one or two. Considering it was his first game and he only played a couple I was surprised he got delisted last year.

    Bate also not in the team... that's 13 different..

    Extreme! :blink:

    But in a good way, mostly.

    And of course who can forget Tom Scullys massive final quarter, 18 possies for 39 in total, in a game that made the football world stand up and take notice that the kid may just be an elite.

    Ahhh yes... the umps in pink. Total disarray. Ugh! A shocker...

    But what about the Jamie Bennell screamer on the wing in those wet conditions as well as his turn-around, spin-around, run backwards snap at goal?? Showed class in the wet conditions...

    I was majorly peeved - two interventions by field umpires to cancel out goals to us, plus the crucial turnover on the members' wing late in the final term when Bartram mistook an umpire (in pink top and blue shorts for chrissake!) for a team mate.

    We were royally screwed that night. Let's hope we repay the 'dogs what we owe em - which is plenty.

    The worst one was the 2nd quarter where CB handballed straight to one cos he was hot in the midfield. They grabbed it and turned it around for a goal. Terrible.

    • 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.
