..you are a king among supporters and I salute you.

I've done the trip a few times but this weekend will not be one of them.

Feel free to out yourselves in this thread to receive the plaudits that a true supporter deserves.

    I'm not going but thanks to the generosity of Ethan Tremblay, I'm sending my 14yr old nephew for his birthday and my brother. They live there. So I'm not sure if that counts. Some unkind punters have suggested I could give him a better birthday present by making sure he doesn't go. But he is very excited to see them in the flesh. I hope and pray they put on a better show than the last game. Don't know where the Club is going to head if they do that again. Alas it is Cox's last home game, unless some how they get into the finals and end up somehow playing Freo there. So Weagles will want to put on a show for him which doesn't bode well for us.

    Nor does the fact they will looking for a big percentage boost as percentage may end up being the difference between them making the finals and missing out

    Wow. That's a brave move and it mostly counts :)

    I'm going, but not such a big deal as my trip only involves a 40 minute ride in the car.

    I too am worried about the possibility of a massive loss and the effect it will have on my 6 year old son who will be going to his first ever H&A match. I've managed to convert him to a fully fledged Dees supporter this year, despite him starting the year as a Hawthorn fan and also my pesky dad trying at every opportunity to convert him into a Weagle. But am afraid it might all unravel for me on Saturday if they put up a showing like last weekend.

    Also worried about the parochial Eagle crowd. I've been to plenty of freo and eagles games over the years and am never disappointed by their lack of respect for fans of the opposition. Worried that it might make the little fella ashamed to be a dees supporter.

    Oh well, I suppose we'll just have to see what happens.

    I'm just hanging on to a glimmer of hope that they might knock off the Eagles and spoil Coxys farewell just like we did to Guy McKenna in 2000 (I was there and boy was that sweet). Mind you we're not tilting at a flag like we were that year so it will be a miracle if we can get the win.

    Here's hoping, carn the dees

    I'll be going to the game thinking we can win.

    As should the team.

    I just hope they play like they did against Port, they do that, win lose or draw I think I'll be satisfied

    I know a couple who are attending and I just hope the boys can put up a fight, big effort to travel that far to sit amongst a feral mob of Eagle supporters.

    • 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.
