Best on? Injuries? What's wroning with Hogan and his 3 goals? How was Oliver? inhen should I buy finals tickets?

Help a sister with third world internet out!

Viney, Kennedy, Watts, Maxey, T-Mac up there. No Major Issues on the bench. For his first game Oliver was fanbloodytastic. Put one or 2 seniors to shame (Tyson.... ughh). Not finals worthy...yet. Check In again about Rnd 6 !

    It's amazing how much better we looked when we had to play one less tall forward in the last. 

    Watts most influential game of his career. The penny appears to have dropped. 

    Fell back into some old habits in the middle of the game but showed how good it will look when we get the balance right.

    Great game # 50 for JV7!!  An amazing game from him.

    He has been so good for so long its hard to believe it is only 50 games. 

    Champion.

    Once we managed to get some isolation in the forward line the floodgates opened.

    Amazing to think that we completely ran over the top of them considering how Round 2 panned out last year.

    Kennedy has been a terrific pick up. Viney was heroic. Watts and AVB a mixed bag but some crucial score involvements.

    Fantastic win.

    Rules question:  When Pedersen had that shot from the boundary against the point post, aren't the GWS players meant to be further away than they were. One of them seemed even closer than last year?

    I am now going to smash some cans, listen to the new Nile and Karma to Burns Albums AND watch the Drug cheats get Ar5e rammed by the Ronald McDonald Suns!

    Good end to a good day!:)

    Should have been 10 goals down at 3/4 time. 

    Got out of jail.

    Over the last few years that would have been a ten goal loss.

    but now we win.

    good sides win the close ones now I am not saving we are champions but now we have the skill level needed to comeback and finally starting to believe we can win no matter what.

    A good start to 2016.

    Despite the misleading DE statistic, we were far too messy with our disposal in the first three quarters and stopped running and moving the ball quickly in the second and third quarters, but when we move it quickly, we look so good. That passage of play in the last where Oliver somehow managed to win the clearance, Jones got it, kicked it down Kennedy's throat, who then kicked it beautifully to Watts' advantage was sublime and is a sign of things to come.

    Kennedy was arguably the most influential player on the ground in the final quarter. Had 5 scoring involvements in the first 7 minutes.

    Viney has well and truly arrived. He is a star and kept us in the game through the middle period (and GWS' poor goal kicking).

    Watts was terrific in the first and last quarters and Oliver's debut (with restricted game time - would he have even played 60% game time?) was one of the most impressive debuts from a midfielder you will see. I remember counting four centre clearances in a row in the last quarter. He became more influential than Viney.

    Honourable mention to Maxy Gawn. A very good game, despite playing against an underdone opponent.

    I'd like to dedicate this win to Tom Scully

    He is still a terrible kick and has no poise.

    Coming home on public transport from the game.  Dees supporters everywhere talking, wondering, not quite believing. HAPPY!

    Is it just me or did a number of the 50/50 umpiring decisions go against us? (I know the free kick numbers themselves were fairly close.)

    I saw that, couldn't believe it, he should have done the stevie j put the ball on the ground and step it out

    Oliver won the first two clearances decisevely out of the middle to set up back to back goals at the start of the last quarter. Thats how a team gets on a roll.

    Some parallels to the Richmond Carlton game here

    Winning side got up with a big last quarter from their forwards 

    Found a way to win ugly and just sneak over the line

    Loser kicked themselves out of it it inaccuracy 

    Main difference we beat a quality side expected to push for the eight.  Richmond bear a gutsy Carlton outfit expected to finish in bottom 2

    So there's two different ways to look at winning ugly...I like our perspective 

    Go dees!

    Agreed, should have been 50 metres

    It was a team win, two good reasonably good quality quarters and two p@ss poor quarters.  If we can play four good quarters we will win a lot more games this 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.
