Good question. He looked as weak as [censored] today.

That opportunity he had at goal in the third qrt I think he should have kept running and drawn the opposition player from Dawes and hand balled it over to him to kick the easy goal.

Instead he had a shot from 35 odd meters out and missed.

Was not on his game tonight but hey we still WON.

    What a great win. I'm so excited at the changes I see in the team and the way they are playing. Every week just a little bit better. Good on you boys. The song was song loud and clear in this household tonight.

    Jamar has been ridiculed on this site from a number of posters lately.

    Time to give him his dues he was good tonight and looked strong.

    Also liked that mark and goal he kicked too.

    A toast to Jonesy as well. For whatever reason he just couldn't get his hands on it, so he responds by laying the most tackles on the ground and kicking a crucial goal.

    At half time they showed footage of him pre match and he looked sore , maybe tightness in his hammy or possibly buttock, also went down to the rooms on his own before the match. We are lucky he saw the game out I reckon!

    Jones with another Captain's goal, why this feller wasn't made captain a few years back is [censored] beyond me.

    I agree Song "This feller" is a genuine A grade midfielder. He gets FA recognition because he plays for Melbourne yet he is in the top echelon of mids!!

    They showed Chip walking from behind and he is out of wack - back or something . He needs not to go to ground when tackling .he worked hard .

    I don't want to go too early on this but - we're back! Pigs can fly Melbourne can win interstate. Anything is possible.

    Now Reverend I think you may have had a wee dram to much.

    Cork back in the single malt.

    However IMHO there is nothing like beating the crows in Adelaide.

    Jones doesn't pass in the 50 arc

    He is good but pisses off a lot of players

    Can't see him being dropped in the next five years though .

    Saw that, which makes his effort more admirable. He's a ripper.

    One game out of the 8 atm and we should have beaten gws saints and gc.

    Is it possible we are much better than we realise?

    Lets not get ahead of ourselves a Gutsy win by our Finger tips . I dont want to rain on the parade but still plenty of bad habits to get rid of

    After last weeks Game I said the positive was we no longer capitulate.

    Today's game proved that in Spades !

    For now I am happy and ecstatic about the win and we all should be so . Lets just hope there are more before seasons end and I will dine out on each and everyone of them . But for now the change is happening lets enjoy the ride both the ups and downs in the knowledge that maybe we have finally turned the corner and seasons need no longer be like having teeth drawn!

    Agreed. There was a looooooong period in that match where we simply couldn't buy a goal and it took a pretty soft free to Dawesy to break the drought.

    There is still a mountain of work ahead but these are very positive steps in the right direction in terms of structure and effort.

    What the hell is this RD?

    Even with my bi folkies I can't see it.

    I think you can click on the image to enlarge it.

    It's Mitch Clark tweeting "It's a Grand Old Flag"

    Thought it was noteworthy.

    Do we have to start the negatives? Every supporter knows where we are at, but we can celebrate a win, all I care about tonight was we didn't wilt, we got in front and stayed there, it's a great start...and the players know for it to happen again they just have to reproduce

    If Jones kicked the captains goal then Grimes made the captains spoil. Very nice work by our skippers.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • 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.
