The Doggies were marching towards the finals while the Dees were in a bad trough. They wiped the floor of Etihad Stadium with us.

    We are playing a team chock full of talent, dash and attack. Not just Stringer despite his attributes. We will need to be at our very best and be able to respond to their attacks on the ball and the scoreline. This will mean everything working from Gawn and the midfield, to a tight defence, and a forward line that can create space and opportunities. Our attack on the ball and opponent, and reduced error/turnover rate will be critical.

    I'm ashamed to admit it, but I left that game at half time. I don't think I've ever left a game early in more that 30 years. I even sat out the 186 game.

    Listening to the radio the boundary rider (Tiffany Cherry?) made the comment that the Dogs players were coming off absolutely knackered. I predicted that they would get flogged by West Coast the following week at Subiaco, and they did (by 77 points). They had beaten West Coast by 10 points at Etihad in round one.

    Obviously, limited rotations, a heavier (probably) surface, and a larger ground do not favour their game style.

    Yes, that game was an absolute Barry Crocker.

    I dare say however, that we will probably field a team with half of its players different to the one that ran out against the Bullies last August and in addition we know that the likes of Nathan Jones, Bernie Vince and Heritier Lumumba were NQR in terms of fitness - all of them undergoing post season surgery.

    Also, we take a different attitude into our game most of the time these days.

    Look at that, from the Full back line to the Half Forward line only 4 players that played Saturday night. And only 13 of the 22 the same.

    For a game not too long ago, Round 20 last year, that's a significant difference!

    Like the Saints game a fortnight ago, from the first stages of this game we looked far too slow, I think being at the G this week will be a big leveller.

    I think we'd be helped by everyone getting out and doing a rain dance Sunday morning.

    Bulldogs are a very good, but young team; the venue is the biggest advantage we have.

    This is the biggest test so far this season. Give us good conditions and let's see where we're at.

    Geez, we're a different outfit this time around. Our list is getting much stronger.

    Just what I was thinking PA. last years corresponding game at the G we won convincingly (Hoges pointing out Boyd getting dragged to Murphy when Bob was trying to put him off kicking for goal).

    my boy was in the guard of honour for the first time. It was a great afternoon out (and 100% dry). We don't need it to rain imho.

    • 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.

    • 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.
