The first game this round won't be pretty....and I couldn't be happier. I think.Richmond will cop a belting. Think the Eagles will win by 53.

 

For our sake next week, I genuinely hope the Tigers get up tonight.

Why on earth would any Demon supporter want us to play against them after an entire week of media shitestorm following a belting and 1-3 season start? Those are the exact games we always manage to lose.

If they win tonight next week will follow a familiar script: Tigers will get way ahead of themselves after defeating grand final contenders then waltz into next week expecting a walkover. It's equally as predictable from the Tigers, and would be the perfect chance for us to strike a "surprise" win.

I'm looking forward to our game of course but tonight could be interesting (West Coast vs Rich*) along with a few other notable encounters ... Adel/Syd Sat night,  North/Freo (Sun Twilight) & the early game on Sunday (GWS/Port)

The Hawks/Saints match might be a decent game if St Kilda can play as well as they played last week.  The free-to-air games on Saturday are a bit dodgy though ... I can see a couple of big wins to the Cats & Doggies.

 

*As DA noted above, the Tigers won the encounter in WA last season but I reckon the Eagles will win this time around.

Anyone see that play with Fostin tackled well after he lost the pill? Semi sling tackle. No free. Rance pushed in back while on ground then someone sat on his back and rolled over him then he was clocked in the head by Kennedy. 3 frees on the one player. NOTHING!

Watch as the Umps put the whistle away on the Tiges to get Weagles up by four or five by the main break. So predictable.

Thank goodness the players aren't wearing those too-tight short shorts they showed on Foxtel from the 1987 game.

A dropped mark against Rance paid lol

results in a goal... AFL is a joke. The same will happen to us on Sunday

 

Tigers are playing like us from a few years aho at the moment. 21-4 inside 50s. Tigers suck and it's glorious. 

That last passage of play leading up to the fitty metre penalty was far too easy for WC. How on earth did this team beat Freo/Hawthorn/Sydney last year.

Richmond's turnovers are terrible. Make ours look half decent

And Hardwick told us last week that the Tigers were the best kicking side in the comp.

What are the chances we turn both collingwood's and Richmond's seasons around? ??

Don't go there Song, I'm currently in a good place.


Their drafting has been horrible. Taylor Hunt, Andrew Moore, Ben Lennon, Corey Ellis, Shaun Grigg, Shaun Hampson and the list goes on..

31 inside 50's to 6 before half time! It is getting ugly. 

Before the game Hardwick was reminded by reporters about Richmonds recent form over west (which to be fair has been good), it's as if he thought it was just going to happen again. I would of thought a response of something along the lines of "it counts for nothing" or "our form has been poor this year and we need to be at our best tonight" would of been more appropriate. There was no sense of urgency in the way Hardwick spoke, not sure if he's lost the players or just simply has himself fooled.

 

Hampson crippled. Might miss round 5. Wonder if Vickers is scared of what WCE might do to him if he moves into the ruck, especially after his hit on Big Cox a could of years ago.

And he's a staging actor as well

Tigers are handball happy tonight Wise. Might work some of the time coming off HB but as you know you eventually have to hit targets at the end of some early good use of handball into the clear. Failing pretty badly at this part so far. Undoing all of their good early work.

  • 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.
