St Kilda's comeback is not good for our PR. Add them to the list of clubs people will say we should be around the level of but have 'gone past us'.

Of course, such comments are based on one win, against another side in the group of clubs who have supposedly 'gone past us' but couldn't beat St Kilda.

I'd personally put it down to the ups and downs of being a lesser club, but I guess 'gone past us' also works.

The way we are playing I can't see us turning around a game if we fall 4 or 5 goals behind. Most sides seem to be able of doing that irrespective of strength. In our two wins we were mostly front running against lacklustre opposition. In others once we fell behind it was game over.

    The Dogs had a great win in a slog against the Swans at the SCG. They were flat in the 2nd half today. Had to be expected that the Saints would come back in some capacity, sure, not necessarily win, but definitely cut the margin.

    Saints should have won last week against Essendon.

    We can't win at Etihad, can't beat the Saints, can't win in Perth, can't win in Sydney, can't beat top 8 teams.

    Saying they've both "gone past us" is completely fair. What have we done to say otherwise? Beat a divided GC at the MCG, and an unsurprisingly fickle Richmond? Get real!

    Tonight is our test. We need to have a "turnaround" game. Nothing has really suggested the "turnaround" the club needs has happened.

    This is such a big game of opportunity for us. A win and we remain in the mix. Lose and we lose too much ground and settle in our usual bottom 4 position. Turnaround is a good word.

    so we cop the Swans on the rebound tonight, and the Hawks on the rebound next week

    We really are cursed

  • Quote

    Once again the true value of a pair of gun mids impact on the game and their teammates is being shown in Sydney.

    Hodge and Lewis out and all of a sudden the fringe hawks look much weaker. Love to see the giants hang on.

    Hawks are beatable.

    And we should have the same attitude tonight.

    We do that the season is wide open.

  • Quote

    Swans on rebound Hawks on Rebound next week !! A few thrashings appearing on horizon! Watts Sub?? Stretch in Good luck kid, Toumpas et all I fear !

  • Quote

    Great we get hawthorn on the rebound next week after a loss to gws

    With Hodge, Lewis, Lake and Frawley out, it is a good time to take on Hawthorn.

    The Hawthorn we will play next week are half the side Sydney are tonight.

    Plus, without Hodge and Lewis, Hawthorn didn't look too good on the inside, Sydney are a different story.

  • Quote

    On a brighter note ...

    • Pies got smashed
    • Tigers over-run and overrated
    • Bombers are pretenders
    • Hawks lost a game they would have won if Hodge & Lewis weren't rubbed out

    ... and hopefully the Blues lose (by a point)

  • Quote

    well im guessing Richmond will be in the media this week. Glad to see Freo do the job on the bombers and tomorrows Carlton Brisbane game will be very interesting.

    Wow Carlton are shite!

    Why do we have to wait until the end of the year to play them?

    I think every one is rebuilding quicker than us. The Doggies, the Saints, WC to name some. We are nearly 10 years into our search for a competitive midfield division. Why is it so hard for us to find a couple of elite ball magnets?

    Stand By!! Big presser Re Malthouse coming soon !! No later than Tuesday Methinks!

    well west coast are the sneaky team that have quietly risen up the ladder. With all there injuries to there backmen they are going really well. To beat port in adelaide is a great win.

    I think the media bus has turned from punt rd and heading to optus oval. There were some unexpected results this weekend.

    He sounds like an absolute basket case mentally.

    Seems pretty clear to me he isn't ready or in the right frame of mind to be playing AFL if one sledge can break him down like this.

    Yeah ,

    Ablett,Jakovich,Jacko,Jeff Farmer,etc were all perfectly normal individuals too.

    Don't overrate this win, the Adelaide/Port teams record the game after a showdown is very poor.

    • 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.
