"Tanking"

So Brock didn't play against them in their 11 loss run or if not, see, hear or read anything about them in that period. Therefore unlike any other AFL football follower, let alone player, he would not have known what Carlton was doing during that 3 months.

Even "blind Freddie " knew what they were doing and it was discussed in the media as well. Wasn't their something called the "Kreuzer Cup"?

I said there was an easy answer to question that was easy to deflect. I cant see why any of the 3 journalists would bother asking it.

You don't refrain from asking a question because of what the interviewee might say in response.

You ask the question and let the interviewee answer it themselves.

Its a pretty easy and obvious "get out of jail" that even Brock could navigate.

This sort of press should make the AFL think twice before deciding to clobber the Demons.

Yep, this is a breakthrough, I'd imagine Vlad called a special meeting to work out a strategy to deal with this sort of comment.

In the words of John McEnroe, you can't be serious.

but we'll never know will we, and with Brocken nothing is predictable.

The AFL cannot afford to have this go to court (which it will if they attempt to charge us) as it will open a can of worms that will make our 1,000 page report look like a Myer sale catalogue. Besides, look on the bright side...if you feel disinclined to go to the games for fear of being referred to as a tanker supporter, you can take that time to attend grammar classes.

Yeah and Bailey did it so well he got fired, all part of his grand plan I'm sure....

yeh master demon the AFL can't afford to go to court there broke well done bright spark

You're confusing monetary reasons for image viability reasons my friend. Shouldn't have to explain that to someone as obviously above the rest of us as you claim to be bright spark.

Tell me mate do you really think we did.nothing wrong

Well done master demon . I'm not the best speller I follow this club though it's dick heads like you that make me not want to.ya [censored]

Take a deep breath BH

Now no one wants to fling you.

I am no genius with Grammar and spelling

Can you just try a little harder

That way I will be able to understand you.

Use Google or Firefox for your browser they both have spell checks.

They make me look half decent.

I always loved watching the Dukes of Hazard. Boss Hog would connive and carry on only to be found out as having ulterior motives and ultimately make an arse of himself.

Tell me mate do you really think we did.nothing wrong

I agree BH we did

I hated it then and still do to this day

But it was no worse than 5 other teams during that period.

If we are penalised it will be a gross injustice.

Actually...the Kreuzer Cup was Brocky's top possession game for the year. You'd think he'd have noticed something.

Ultimately?

Whoa Guys lets not turn this into a slagging of BH because he has a less than a great understanding of grammar.

He has some legitimate comments

Slagging his grammar does not mean his argument is wrong.

Can we all take a breath.

We all support the same team I think

Go Dees

Fair enough OD, but he might have done better if he hadn't come out swinging at anything that moved (metaphorically).

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.
