NAB CUP 1: NORTH MELBOURNE AND RICHMOND

At the ground. 3 things stick out:

1. Umpires have forgotten that its not about them.

2. Why is Jesse Hogan not allowed to play this year? It's not helping his, or our, development.

3. We have ZERO midfield. The team plan is get the ball to Jones. Opposition sides have already figured out that's what we have to do.

Hoping the boys can make a more solid show, but this surface makes us look painfully slow.

    Doesn't look good but all sides playing 2nd straight up have struggled plus it's a hot night so I won't write too much into it.

    It being consistant with 2012 is worth reading into.

    God lost first game, losing 2nd, players hurting ankles and supporters whinging about umpires already.

    Gonna be a long season.

    I'm remembering the NAB cup last year. Great win over the press then the same sinking feeling. I just haven't seen anything except Hogan to excite me. We don't look like we're a chance here.

    Geez I hope I'm wrong. And Tom Mac is going to go OK

    In both these games the opposition has killed us in the possession count...so no difference to last year...

    We are fielding different players in this game to the first arent we? In the first game I liked Cam Pederson's marking, Rodan's strength in the midfield and ofcourse Jesse Hogan who has done more than any other forward so far. This game Watts looks ok but Im seeing too many turnovers and our defense looks crap underpressure. Same old same old from two or three players I wont mention yet. Most of the players that look impressive have started playing for the demons tonight!

    On a side note off my criticism of umpiring - like the look of Byrnes in the first game and N Jones looks good coming in to 2013

    Yep, I would like us to dominate the possession count for a change.

    Can anyone watching the game tell us if we are doing the team things like shepherding and such?

    We look awful but not worried as its not the real stuff

    It would be nice to win posession count for once

    Dunny kicks the ball 70 m after a behind. Sylvia runs forward for us. 4 of then run back. Predictable outcome - ball* streams out of defense.

    • 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.
