I literally saw him hit one target by foot. His kicks are terrible. He would be awesome if he could kick.

Reminiscent of the Toump. We seem to specialise in these types.

    I've heard ASADA is going to investigate Fyfe for injecting his lips with Botox.

    A few poor turnovers so far for each team in the western derby, early days but I can see the Eagles running away with it.

    Ah yes the beer cans! They were made of steel then and not aluminium so easy to stand on without crushing them and falling over.

    yeah,  they would have about 5 cans under each foot.

    So saints and dogs played prelims and gfs 6-8 years ago while we were bottom re building.  And they have both passed us out. 

    Wtf.

    Freo, 25 points at half time. Honestly the most boring team to watch in the AFL. 

    Fortunately it's become pretty clear that the teams who win premierships don't have these dour, defensive gameplans. Bulldogs will make/win a Grand Final before Fremantle do.

    Don't forget fixturing! Essendon, Carlton and Brisbane as 3 of their first 4 opponents. Laughable, really.

    The saints were very good, but the Pies were well below par, they put basically no pressure on the Saints running backs, allowed them to move the ball way to easily.

    Bit of both. 

    Saints pressure was great, they were evasive and speedy, clearly, I mean CLEARLY wanted it more all day. 

    Collingwood's tackling was woeful, their foot skills on par with the first 3 quarters last week.

    I have to say, the Pies look to be a rabble right now.  They have as many quality imports as any team in the league and yet that play like that against the Saints?  Are they that reliant on Swan to lift the side? 

    I think Bucks needs to be looked at very closely.

    I'd say our chances of keeping Jesse went up 20% tonight. Freo are done and dusted, especially once Pavlich and Sandilands go. 

    And gee West Coast look good when they are up and running

    And Sandi will probably be out for a while judging by the injury reports.  Collapsed lung, probably busted ribs.  That makes them a significantly worse side.

    Who's to say West Coast aren't a viable alternative to Fremantle for Hulky?

    Anyway, I didn't realise Collingwood were next week (I never imagined we'd play them twice in the space of 7 rounds), but if the media pressure on the Pies this week is as great as it was against Essendon's embarrassing 100pt loss to the Saints last year (which was followed up by a typical Melbourne embarrassment), we better be ready for a fight next week. We seem to fair horribly against teams who face scrutiny then have something to prove.

    For the same reason I'm desperately concerned if Richmond get flogged by West Coast on Friday night, right before our Anzac Eve match. They will almost certainly face us in round 5 at 1-3. That Richmond haven't defeated us once in the Roos era is cause for optimism though (the only team that holds this honour).

    They just looked slow and boring and like the game has passed them by. Must have got their coach from the Paul Roos Coaching Academy. Oh, wait...

    Yep. Very, very good point on Collingwood and Richmond.

    I think WCE would really struggle to fit Hogan in with Kennedy and Darling, but you never know I guess.

    Absolutely pathetic from Pendles there, and after all the publicity about Boekhurst's shameful diving.

    Captains don't do [censored] like that.

    Pendles was being tackled from behind, then blatantly ducked/nudged his head against the laws of physics straight into the tackler's arm. Umpire immediately paid a free kick to him 40m out directly in front of Pies' goal.

    Saints player cracked it, dumbass umpire looked at replay and goes, "yeah, he probably ducked, but it's a free kick."

    Great points and I would comment but as a show of respect for Richmond I have also placed myself under a media ban.

    Anybody got any idea why the saints weren't trounced in the last quarter of their game?

    And why they all seem to be muscled up to almost the same shape?

     

    Anyone seen Dank recently?  Or The Weapon?  They must both be looking for work

    I am certain that their president will, as always, look at him very closely, with adoring eyes.

    If they are lucky, they could get Jesse Hogan, Cale Hooker and Cam Mcarthy by the end of the year. Will be a top team again. Equalisation for ya.

    That will depend on the result of Geelong's Dangerfield experiment.

    North have clearly shown that relying purely on top-ups and free agents doesn't translate to premierships.

    Can we just enjoy seeing their faces rubbed in to the dirt for a minute before you remind us that it's probably temporary?

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
