    We needed only ONE OR TWO GOALS in the last quarter to win

    WE DISHED UP YET ANOTHER ZERO GOAL QUARTER

    [censored] PATHETIC

    Get over yourself. T Mac wasn't Robinson Crusoe, plenty of players turned it over today, on both sides, and all over the ground.

    Our defense was good. Ultimately, their defense was better.

    Deplorable umpiring in the last that made it very difficult to build momentum. I never knew how blatant the bias was in Perth because we always get smashed there. It was clear the umps were looking for any reason to award a free.

    Well, what could have been?  

    Had we kicked straight, we win the game.  We played dirty football at times, scintillating football at other times and we still made some glaring mistakes that we need to fix up if we are to head up the ladder again in 2017.

    Our midfield was awesome and we smashed them in there.  We took it up to them, tackled hard, pressured hard... and couldn't get it done on the scoreboard.  Those missed shots in the third hurt us as we could have been at least 3-4 goals up and broken their backs.

    We deserved to win today so it hurts, but gee we've improved.  If we can be consistent with this effort then we win more games.  Simple.

    Special mention to Nathan Jones - he can most certainly have the captaincy back now.

    Effort will only get you so far. You've got to take your chances. We need to win one of these games and I think then the dam will break. Just gutted we cant get one over the line.

    I've seen some dodgy victories over the years, but never one so undeserved or so clearly umpire assisted in the last quarter. And yet as always, nobody is accountable. We deserved to win, we should have won, and yet we now go into our fifteenth year without a win in the west.

    Agree, maggots robbed us. So many frees in the last 1/4.

    That hurts so bad. To go to perth and dominate at every stat? Wce have never faced that pressure

    And we lost. Gawn shouldn't have been on the mark at that last free against him, we missed too many shots and we just lacked a little cleanliness going forward in the last third. 

    That hurts in a big way, but that is proof that this team of on the right track. Go home tonight proud of your club because we are going to be a force. There is no doubting that. We are going up . Next year when we play there we will not be intimidated as we know we can do it. Today hurts, tomorrow the sun comes up and we prepare for next week. We are so close fellow demonlanders

    The boys looked shattered - and they should be. They need to remember that all preseason. Work harder, for longer.

    All these people asking about final quarter fade outs need to remember most of our list are 4-5 preseasons behind the team we played today. That's why we lost. That simple.

    • 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.
