I know I am captain cynical at the moment, but does anyone else get annoyed at when players talk all glowingly about their mates on other teams.. when we are about to play them... days after a pathetic loss... they are the enemy, you shouldn't be talking like that. You should be a ruthless melbourne footballer first and a mate of the enemy second. The whole tone of that interview was like 'yeah we'll have a go and see what happens" very casual, which is exactly what we see from the side periodically and with dire consequences. Just thought i'd throw another log on the negative fire :o

Not at all, I actually thought that interview was the best we've seen from the players this year. Felt like just a couple of blokes having a chat, Bernie was being honest and actually talking rather than just spitting out the normal cliches.

    really dislike the fact he is saying we played two good quarters last week. For starters, we didn't, but more importantly the game as a whole was such a disgrace the senior coach should not be shining any positive light on it all IMO

    You spent the summer seeing positives in the close losses we had and convinced yourself that this team was not a disgrace and that we could turn those losses into wins, then last week we were 4 goals ahead at HT and you can't take a positive from that?

    That's the incongruity I can see.

    EDIT: 'Incongruity' why do I have to be consistent? They came out and played a horrific game. Why would that not alter my outlook? I would be insane if it didn't

    We were 4 goals ahead at QT because we weren't playing anyone. After that it was the Mark Neeld show starring Chris Dawes and Colin Garland

    I am amazed we have graduated from the nonsense of the last few years where we can be so blase about keeping a team goalless and being up by 4 goals away from home...

    • 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.
