shocking decision making by melksham to try to tap it rather than take possession

Not if Jones hadn't dropped it. The best teams in the Comp use the knock, flick, tap incredibly well.

Nice finish.

Salem = BOG in first half.

Yep, he's been terrific.  Great decision maker.  Brayshaw and, surprisingly, Smith were close behind.

Inevitable Dogs comeback, you don't win a flag without some class in your side.  Good to go in ahead at half time and we can re-boot and have another crack in the second half.

Along with half the competition we're trying to emulate the bulldogs style.

 

We're 3 points up at half time against the premiers. No complaints about that even if they did score a big run there.

Is Salem playing midfield? How is the forward line setting up (is anyone else playing tall alongside Hogan and Weideman)?

Also, where is Melksham playing?

All this blowing smoke up the Dogs backside is giving me the irrits. 

Get used to it. As the reigning premiers, everything they do is automatically the best and to be fawned over.


We look a lot sharper than last year, but dogs are a good side with the wind behind them! 

Smith and Salem have been great

liking brayshaws game so far as well

Joel Smith = Round 1 lock to play on Membrey. Salem move to midfield will make a massive difference. Too many of our players are getting sucked inside the contest leaving free dogs on the outer contest for the handball flicked out. 

These commentators can talk some smack. Gerard Healy was impressed with Wagner's speed off half back last year. WTF? He's as slow as a turtle (has some other, good traits of course). I'm no doctor but Wagner's injury might be an achilles. Sad for him.

Joel Smith will play 100+ games for us, lock it in.

That's their big party trick ..... need to work out the counter if the umps are not going to police the questionable handballs

We're winning right ? :unsure:

Is Travis Cloke the second coming of Christ?

And why does he never miss when he plays us?

It wouldn't surprise me if Gerard confused Wagner for Hunt.

Spot on with your last comment, but that's the beauty of not only the pre-season but also playing a good side.  We can look at what we can fix and what we're doing wrong.  Apart from their run on I'm very happy with how we look at the minute.

At the ground where we just kicked into the wind. Was howling when Wieds took his kick hence the poor trajectory.

Positives:

- Smith is a player

- Salem is all class and involved a lot

- Jones and Viney involved in everything

- VB Cans only $5

- Trac and Bradshaw both busy

 

Negatives

- too Hogan conscious in the first quarter

- need some beater kicks and not bombing going inside 50

- easy goals from WB from half forward

- TMac having a pretty sour game so far

Shouldn't this be on it's own in the 'Major Positives' section?

  • 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.
