Late Lament

As the last flickering embers of 87 depart from this day 29 years ago!

Was it really that long that we all had a red hot go

Im left thinking that in the essence of time

We have had opportunity to shine

At Western oval on such a day 

The first semblance of Spring weather I can still remember

The way we went at it with thoughts of September!

To die for the jumper that crew would surely assign

The passion and the belief a wealth of determination not to accept defeat in a year to define

Play up take the stand the dees are caling you to the tried and so true

To the fantastic spirit of the Red and Blue

You will be remembered forever and ever

With thoughts of Jim, Sean and Rob now together forever!

Can we ever break the 50 year drought

and win one for all supporters, past players and roosy such a great coach no doubt.

Well, play on take on the game, as fortune favours the brave!

As I am left to remenber

The great game in spring weather at the Western oval on the cusp of September!!!!!!

That team in 1987 was exciting, skilled, talented.

The team at Kardinia Park yesterday??? The team vs Carlton last week (beaten by Essendon yesterday) when finals was an exciting possibility?

Dreadful and embarrassing. Complete lack of excitement, pride, effort. Not enjoying their footy the past 2 weeks. That's nothing to do with being young. It's psychological. Go and play tiddlywinks.

Haven't been back to Whitten Oval since that win against Footscray in 1987. Very fond memories. I was young and full of hope and joy. Now not so young, but still looking for that spark again from football.

  • 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.
