I tipped the Tigers by 5. Serves me right. Shocking first half but it came alive with a shock in the second. Highly entertaining ending - gee a big crowd makes for such amazing tension.

The first thing Grundy did after kicking the goal was to pull the hair tie out of his pony tail and run his fingers through his hair. FMD, must be the current generation....

I hate the man bun.

Would not have happened without that new interpretation of the deliberate out of bounds rule that was invoked finally in the last one minute! Anyone know how they adjudicate this rule now? 

Couldn't they have paid it against the Collingwood guy for just watching the ball trickle over the line while his entire effort went into appealing for the free?

Disgusting umpiring in the last qtr. If Hogan got as much help from the umps as Fasolo, he'd get a dozen every week.

I thought Friday nights was about TV ratings.

Sure, and these teams usually pull big ratings. The reason we don't play is that nobody watches us.

Don't agree, everyone I know watches Friday night footy regardless of playing. It's meant to be a blockbuster game, a game between Bulldogs and Port at Ettihad would have just as big a audience (take away the interstate team factor) purely because it will be a ripping game to watch.

Maybe. Or maybe the TV executives who have the AFL's fixturing people in their pocket know better than you what makes them the most money.

That was a strange one. It looked like the Tiger guy was handpassing into space for his mate to run onto but under pressure didn't pinpoint it.

I thought when under pressure you were given greater leeway regarding deliberate anything? (OOB, rushed behind)

Maybe there's a special "interpretation" that says when down the Ponsford Stand end in front of thousands of baying Pie supporters, you just decide in favour of the Pies. Like Fasolo's "mark".

What a poor quality game of footy. Like a game of keepings off where no one is winning. 

So much for attacking footy being back

attacking footy has been back apart from  'that'  last night.   'that'  was the pies tactics.  Obviously worried about the tiger army possibly causing a swarm of long bombs & goals.

 

The way to beat a strong front running team is to frustrate them early & get their anxiety levels high,  causing them the jitters (fumbles).   Using suffocation tactics & constant pressure,  causing them to take too many risks.

Buckley realised the Tiges like to kick long & direct to space.  he gave them none ahead of their ball.  really crap tactics when the game opened up 2nd half the Tiges were over anxious & a little fumbly,  trying to be too quick retrieving the ball & using it.

They needed to be cleaner by hand,  feeding the ball to the runner.  The pies zone sweepers cleaned up,  & went to the corridor.  They deliberately slowed the tempo.

I dunno. I love the new style being played this year.

 

looks like it needs just a tad more,  just a tad.

 

I like the direction its heading,  in most games,  but we need a bit more success on long bombs,  to keep defenders closer to their opponent.   a little more & we'll see more man on man footy again.

That deliberate out of bounds rule is yuk.

 that was way to grey to be deliberate, especially in that stage off game.  a gift of 4 points, the last 5 minutes of this game, to the pies.

Is that correct? I saw fox footy ratings for last week and our game rated very favourably.

Wait for Hurley.  Cotchin injured I reckon. Richmond didn't look like a happy camp to me and not enough mirrors at the ground. Townsend...=fruitcake.

Coaches very shaky...

Tom Boyd is absolutely untouchable, all three goals he's kicked have been from free's directly in front.

Riewoldt down the other end earning his goals, 14 marks so far having a good game for his 300th.

One of my favourite non-Dee players.  His willingness to gut run and do everything for his club is unbelievable.

 

Dion Prestia doing well, would walk into our midfield

But why on earth would he want to, at this point?

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

    Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
