GAME DAY - Round 20

Was calling for the loose man after the first 4 goals to clog up their forward line and force them to change their plans. All their goals came from quick breaks to an open forward line.

It took us until 8 goals down to make the move! Absolutely pathetic - how many people in our box?

I'm not excusing the players who have been terrible but that is just a disgraceful lack of tactical nous

 

cue in the rack, no such thing as pride at this club

Hello. I’ve been saying this for yonks. Paul Roos is a terrible tactical coach. It’s not that his tactics suck; it’s that he’s not quick enough to change them when things go wrong.


We'll win from here.....

I don't even care today. Who gives a stuff really, we are just riding out the year now. Dogs are going for Top 4. Stop getting upset by it and understand the difference in what the two sides are playing for.

It doesnt even hurt anymore

Just numbness.

Given up with 75% of the game left.

Im going to back to those $10 atomic pale ale 6 packs.

8.3 51 to 0.2 2

Hard to know what to say really. PJ must be on the edge of madness here.

Must say the doggied supporters are decent people. They seem to have a full complement of teeth, use nouns and verbs and don't abuse everyone in sight.
 

we are meters behind all their players and not real effort to run. too slow to move the ball on absolutely gutless effort. do we actually have any onballers in the middle doing anything other than standing around like witches hats

I'm sick of Lumumba, he played one good game in r1 and has just made mistake after mistake after that.


Murdered in the middle and theBulldogs too fast, sure and accurate. Roos need to earn his money this afternoon.

Nope. It's like playing geelong on their pomp. Manic running, risk taking. Brilliant to watch

And if they can keep this up, they'll start to get some Geelong-like silverware.

Impressive. Interesting also how a few "hot" players lift everyone else and set a kind of standard that everyone else just follows. We just don't have those players, at least not around the stoppages.


12 months ago, Footscray looked destined for years in the wilderness. Lost experience and gained little in return.

They play to win and don't look for excuses. Genuine flag threat the way they play.

Body language of Dunn, Jones, Howe, Jetta is defeatist and disgraceful.

Until they are all gone, we will be average.

Petracca on Twitter before he deleted it:

"Wow"

I'm a huge Roos fan but it took way too long then to make the move. You can't just let a team continue to play the game on their terms, you need to react and try to force them into changing their thinking.

They're enjoying and having fun. Our guys couldn't give a stuff and are hating every moment.

I'd rather watch Casey play than to see our so called leaders dish up nothing

We could have put 5 behind the ball, wouldn't of helped. Roos isn't responsible for the lack of effort from the first bounce.. Disgraceful effort by the players especially the midfield allow clearance after clearance

Honestly sick of the tripe this club dishes up. After wins like against the Cats the players say "yeah we've turned the corner", then to come out and be 49 points down in one quarter???

No wonder this club can't attract members

Yeah, that one hurts.

Don't start.

Stringer had a serious leg injury, no-one quite knew how or even if he'd be able to get back. We weren't the only ones who passed.

  • 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.
