This is our most important match in a decade.

I'm sick of the fact that we have not won a game at Etihad in a decade...

Sick of the fact that we haven't beaten North in the same amount of time...

Sick of the fact that we don't win two in a row...

The time is now...

Like Richmond last week we need to make a stand...

Gut running, hard contested footy...

North will fold faster then Superman on laundry day...

Finally as a club we need to say... "Stuff there rest... we're here to be the best!'

    It's exactly that sort of attitude that's wrong with the club.

    I agree, this 'knowing where the match is being played' stuff has to stop now

    Wow, it has really been that long.

    I have vivid memories of games against North many years ago, as far back as the Daniher years, where everything seemed to be in our favour but somehow we just couldn't win.

    A lot of the time it came down to their 'really tall talls', who on the day would just be able to clunk marks and kick straight. It troubles me a little that we are still a bit light-on for genuinely tall defenders (unless Fitzpatrick or Oscar comes along very quickly).

    That said, the last time we beat them Nathan Thompson kicked seven, put them in front but then had to drag himself to the bench for a chunk of the final quarter, exhausted. As much as we won that game in the final minutes, I'm hoping this time we have something better than "wait until their key forward has worn himself out from kicking so many goals".

    North are brittle, like 'little boy' chalk

    the Dees and young Viney, will teach them a lesson, getting into them like Mrs Marsh's liquids...

    Yeah we should be more like Hawthorn and not know where we're playing next week. Works for them.

    I'll meet you at bay 13 at Etihad! I'll bring the radio in case its not there.

    Sure, let's get positive: so then let's kill off two of the monkeys on our backs this week, (NM and successive wins) and the other the following week v Dogs at the Doglands.

    Would we have some happy campers then??

    gotta think of things 'that will get in' SWYL, into they're heads... irritating things they won't like. & do not think these things don't get back to who they are about. they do.

    the roos are soft, in the head, they are fragile, they are blue, & they crack, Mrs Marsh is just the tonic that will irritate any young hopping mad Roo.

    & her liquid does get in, see the add.

    I'd get more satisfaction beating North than Hawthorn

    I thought we started to get closer to them in our 2 games last year.

    • 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.
