Frawley still slow hand to foot I see.

Look up Lummox and there he is.

    Best thing is Tiges forcing lefties to their right...that's how you beat HFC if you can keep it up.

    Is that the first goal Riewoldt has kicked on Frawley in 5 years?

    Chip always flogs him

    That first quarter was the worst I've seen Hawthorn play in years. They made some shocking skill errors, a stack of turnovers, fumbles, and bad decisions.

    Almost all of it was brought about by Richmond's pressure. Huge tackling presence, numbers at every contest - their forwards pushed up the ground but they worked hard to run back as needed - and high intensity.

    Lots of lessons to learn, not just for playing Hawthorn.

    Wouldnt shock anyone if the Hawks ended up flogging them

    Frawley adds an interesting dimension to Hawthorn.
    In a team full of beautiful kicks, Frawley brings the 'hospital ball' into their game.

    I just might work. Did then.

    I was about to say how does the Frawley bomb work for the hawks and not for us?

    Maybe a lucky fre to Cyril just before half time, but after the whistle attacked about a dozen times - no 50.

    I think Richmond were prepared for a knee high daisy cutter into the forward line.

    Instead they got a Frawley hospital ball. It worked on that occasion. Mightn't always work for them.

    He is an ordinary kick is James Frawley.

    I think the Richmond players either didn't hear it - or thought Rioli played on.

    It's hard to preempt what Taylor Hunt was thinking, he isn't the sharpest tool in the shed.

    I will add, I don't think it should've been a free kick to Rioli in the first place.

    But given that it was.. The 50 should've been paid.

    Got to admire Richmond. Lose to us early in the year but regroup and beat teams we could only dream of beating. Regardless of the final score tonight, they play with a shite load of heart. The contrast with us could not be more glaring.

  • Quote

    Three quarters of pressure. Not just five minutes here or there.

    Whatever happens, Richmond is setting the bar for how to play against sides better than you.

  • Quote

    Umps will ensure Hawks win. Sure as day follows night

    so far they are doing a pretty good job for Richmond however.

  • Quote

    stratton drops a mark in defensive 50 with no pressure and its a dropped mark. Watts drops a mark and gets bagged on the footy shows as ducking his head. Gibson and roughead having shockers tonight.

    If the tigs get up there fans will be wanting gf tickets.

    The umps have kept the Dawks in it.

    Still time for Mitchells face to be smashed in!

    Well played Richmond, so far.

    But honestly it is being over umpired

    A team trailing by 3 goals 3 minutes into Q4, forward at HF picks up the ball, running hard towards the boundary, one foot from the boundary handballs it over - deliberate!!! WTF are they thinking?

    Or, more realistically - WTF, are they thinking?

    Richmond work so hard to support each other at the contest and they always have numbers at the drop of the bal

    We do neither and thats why we still suck

    • 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.
