At about 5 mins to go in the third the free kick count was 10-16 our way, it ended up 22-19 their way. Says a lot, especially when Gawn gets done for holding when he was held all bloody day.

Good effort, just couldn't get clean inside 50.

    Not unless we learn to score in tight games. Which we always fail to do in final quarters.

    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.

    Shows a lack of integrity that they are  so easily influenced  by the crowd.....

    66 inside 50's for 8 goals.

    Far too many long bombs to no one in particular (or maybe to an Eagles player)

    Congested forward line makes it hard for quality players like Watts and Hogan to lead out or take 1:1 marks.

    3 years ago a lot of us said "I live for the day we can take it up to the top teams."

    Apparently we can now do that but it still doesn't feel much good.

    Would've loved the win but kicked ourselves out of it and crap umpiring in the last quarter hurt

    Robbed by those f'wits in yellow!

    Come on. We robbed ourselves. Our inability to kick straight and make fundamental decisions. It's never the team's fault. The team failed to get the job done on countless occasions.

    Wagner's kicking; Chris Dawes; Hogan's inability to be able to lay a tackle; Bernie Vince's lack of leadership and stupidity; and Kent's laziness. Yuck. The most heartbreaking loss of Roos' tenure.

    I've never seen anyone play a worse game of footy than Jesse Hogan today, does not lead.

    If only it was that simple.

    With this club I am expecting we take a step backward next season.  We are  perennial losers.

    You're right WJ.  Today hurts and it will be hard for some to see, but with more games we will take those chances today.

    Still have a losers mind set. God forbid we kick 2 goals in a close game and win. 

  • Quote

    30 more direct chances to kick a goal and we stuffed almost every one of them.

    Still dont know how to win when its on the line. Should of won that by a 4+ goal margin.

    Absolutely livid.

  • Quote

    We don't know how to win. Occasionally we know how to Kick a winning score but the nuances of WINNING still escapes us. 

  • Quote

    Shattered not to get the win, but that is a massive FU to the Demonland selection panel. Which guy/girl is going to have the guts to stand up say that they don't actually know more than the coaching panel. Terrific effort by the boys today. A few less skill errors and some better goal kicking and we win that.

    I was there, Kent was not lazy, one of our best today by miles. Hogan was embarrassing.

    0 goal final term in a close game is not a terrific effort

    We've played that song far too often Jack. I'm over this "potential" , "inexperience  and " next year" bullshite!

    For [censored] sake, OMac, Wagner, TMac [censored] off back to the VFL until you can kick the fucken ball.  700k Sydney you can have him.....

    This is crap!! anyone who knows anything about footy knows that they way that defence worked today was the reason we were in the game at all. You want to blame individuals? fine look into the forward line that kicked 8 goals from 66 inside 50s. Wet or not that is not good enough. 

  • Quote

    Love them both and hop they stay at the club for years but.

    Watts and Hogan today didn't assert themselves.
    Everyone has their bad days and unfortunatley both theirs fell on the same day.

    another 4th quarter fade out which will always happen to a young team but still.

    Really would have loved to get an upset win this year, St Kilda, Essendon, Carlton, Collingwood ALL have upset wins, unfortunatley we have none.

    Major bummer.

    Rubbish. We were "robbed" by our skills and weak backline.

    • 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.
