Anyone remember this halfway through the fourth quarter? Watched the replay and loved the description given by Dunstall.

I think it was Sylvia with the clearance, passed through about five sets of hands as clean as you ilke, looped in the air with a reverse tap over the head to Jurrah who caught it on the fly and snapped it just to the right. If it had gone through I think Dwayne's head would've exploded.

When we're on, I think even the netural would say we're close to the most exciting team to watch.

    yeah that was great, if only jurrah had slotted it through. a tigers fan infront of us remarked "i dont rate the melbourne football team, but the melbourne volley ball team are awesome!" haah

    I was just saying yesterday to a mate how exciting we are when we get going. Our ability to score in bursts and move the ball so quickly end to end is fantastic to watch. Imagine following the saints - it would be akin to watching a bloke push a big rock up a hill.

    Funny how earlier in the season our "game plan" was getting a hammering. A few win shuts that talk up pretty quickly,that and 35 tackles inside 50 - which by the by is the sort of pressure Bailey has pointed out all season we are aiming for and that a failure to do so is not related to game plan but execution. Oh, also intersting how now there is the talk about the Hawks "slice and dice" game plan based around clinical kicking. If they win the flag will that become the new tactical orthodoxy?

    On record as saying that game plans are not radically different from club to club - we are a little more high risk/high reward however it is not the plan that should have been called into question - it has always been the ability to EXECUTE where we have failed or on the last two matches passed.

    Execution and decision making. Good point, nutbean.

    I remember it, definite contender for goal of the year if it went through the big sticks. Is the best behind that I can remember!

    Was it in the Tackle this week were Robinson stated the loser coach between Bailey and Eade would be back under pressure .

    The media are just parasites and won't be happy till they have a coach scalp , even then they'll just move onto the next coach under abit of pressure .

    Couldn't give the prize to Jurrah .

    Yep , our game style is awesome to watch when on song .

    Couldn't handle it if it was similar to the Aints.

    If we got Roos as coach like some want around here guess what we'd get .:mad:

    What was GOOD about it was that it highlighted something to some of us. We're playing pretty darn well at times, but we're still not on fire. There have been games we've played this year and last where those ones go through. Our best is stunning...

    • 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.
