    Love your work picket. Always entertaining.

    But can you share some of the 'good stuff' you are on with us?

    Well hot on the heels of the great victory against the filth is the sobering realisation that, unless we double up and win against Ninethmond have we really improved that much at all?

    Conversely as the warning title suggests, I think this game is even more season defining as any!

    For eons we have been unable to produce multiple wins together, much less a string of wins to gain momentum. I would like to think we can but until we do I remain skeptical and after following this club for nearly 50 years I feel justified in presenting the  Caveat Emptor!

    A win against Richmond tells us nothing because they are in crisis. Sure it will give us two wins in a row but both against rabble. The defining game will be the following week against an in-form St Kilda who need to be taken seriously. Once we have beaten the Saints and won three on the trot in the process then and only then will we break into the Eight (and stay there)!

    Ok IMV if IF we win against "Ninethmond", then the follwing week against "The aints" Then the Caveat will well and truly be removed! If not!??

    Can someone tell me when is the last time we won Three in a row?

    I though against the Pies it was a real sign of our maturity that we could jump them in the first and then hold our foot on their throats for the next three, ensuring a comfortable win. Thats how good teams beat teams worse than them. If the Tigers are indeed in trouble, and I'm not convinced they are, then I'd expect us to dispatch them with the same ruthless efficiency, or turn it up for longer and give them a real baking.

    Games like the one against North build confidence as they extract four quarter performances, digging deep and overcoming the challenges of the opposition. The Pies didn't offer much that we couldn't easily handle on Sunday.

    If we can win through to the Saints it should be a cracker.

    Dermie was talking on SEN about how even the comp is and the idea of winning 3 in a row will be fairly rare into the future.  Interesting point to consider and all the more reason to focus on the next game, not the one after.

    Disagree - A team in crisis is dangerous - I expect Richmond to come out fighting.

    Basically, Richmond who have finals aspirations, have to respond this week.

    Agree Picket, hopefully once again the players are able to manage the expectations well and get ready between the ears for a game against another under siege club.

    Maintain the hunger and desire at all times.

    • 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.
