Amazing quarter of footy by both sides, has it all.

    THE most intense quarter of COMPETITIVE footy I can recall.....exhausting to watch.

    The club must demand that our guys sit together, as a group without coaches or hangers on at least the first few times, and watch this over and over and over again.

    Amazing intensity, effort, teamwork, courage by both sides. Not one half hearted effort.

    Never let go!

    Learn just what unconditional commitment gets you.

    Wow now thats an exciting game - I wish Neeld was watching (in one quarter they have both scored what we generally score in a whole game)

    15 goals in the first term. Unbelievable!

    And in commentary, Bruce just described Kieran Jack's run as, "jack...off".

    Does it get any better?

    It could have been you Gys .... berts!

    Bruce wasn't watching the footy at that point.

    Watching that little special on Joel Selwood... what a superstar. I wish even a couple of our boys had his fearlessness and work ethic.

    Makes our attitudes look like absolute rubbish. I wonder if Col Sylvia could look Selwood in the eye.

    Been surprised at how bad Bartels disposal has been, must be rooming with Rives and caught the Melbourne disease

    Has Hawkins had a kick? Very quiet.

    Edit. Errr, forget that. 2 goals in a few mins

    It's amazing that every Sydney and Geelong player sprints as soon as they get the ball, Melbourne players jog.

    ....and they even sprint when they don't have the ball, which our guys also must learn from tonight.......IF anyone at our club thinks they could learn from watching two determined, courageous and above all fully committed teams.

  • Quote

    They also run hard when they don't have the ball...

    This is what annoys me, running doesn't take talent. The players either don't think to run (if they are told once that should be enough for their entire career) or they are too lazy.

    Ok this is going to sound like madness..but...

    After watching that game and looking at our list I actually think we should be able to match these teams for effort and intensity. They are human with arms and legs. They just believe in themselves more and have the insatiable hunger to get to contests and help each other. Our players I feel have bought into the psych of we aren't fit enough yet and we are still 'young'. It's total mindset - we should not be 100 point worse team than these sides. Yes we don't have a Selwood or Goodes but we shouldn't be as far off as we seem right now.

    You are totally right in my opinion. In reality, 90 percent of the players in the league can be physically very similarly ranked.

    But it is mostly in the mind... courage, attitude and work ethic... of which ours is [censored].

    I wonder, what kind of sports psych program have we got on down at the MFC?

    Cant stand how McAvaney kept referring to "LRT". Even after he went off injured. So jerky. He seems to have a man crush.

    I agree and have mentioned it before, particularly re Col but other "talents" as well. Do they really WANT to be AFL stars, or would they just LIKE TO be? There is, an enormous difference.

    PYFO and show us, starting tomorrow.

    • 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.
