    A great game of footy from Pies and Dogs. 

    Pies midfield of Pendlebury, Adams and Treloar was very impressive. Their backline looks fragile at best.

    The Bulldogs in full flight remind me so much of Geelong 2007 - 2009. Freakish quick skills. Murphy and Bontompelli are just so good to watch.

    The Pies midfield is really good, so skill full. Adams is such a gun.

    Doggies just looked under done to me, all the same instincts were there but they just couldn't quite execute to the level they did at the end of last year. They are building back into it and will again be a chance for the flag.

    Pies if they play with that endeavour every week will square the ledger, if they drop off slightly it will be curtains for Bucks.

    Statistically the Pies won the game in most facets of the game. When you win the clearances 43 to 25 and have more contested and uncontested possessions you should win. Even their %age of disposal efficiency was only marginally behind the doggies. 

    In the end it was a few weak links on their part and maybe had the mark been paid to Moore, they might have brought home the bacon in the end.

    Agreed, TGP.

    I would add that the pies don't have much of a forward line:  Talls: an inexperienced Moore and part timers White and resting ruckmen; Grundy/Cox.  Small:  Fasolo, Blair, Varcoe.  They outplayed the dogs with i50 and marks i50 and worked hard defensively to keep the ball in but they just didn't have the players to goal and eventually the dogs got it out and the pies were opened up a few times out the back.. 

    Had thought we could pencil in wins vs the pies this year but not so sure now.   The pies have improved a lot and will get better.  Have we improved more?  Time will tell.

    Who do I support tonight?  I hate both teams with a passion.  I think I hate the Bummer supporters cheering drug cheats more, though, so I think I'll end up hoping for a Hawthorn win.

    I was just thinking the same thing. And the Hawks looking very pedestrian.

    Will Essendrug run out of gas?

    Neither side are doing much, really.

    Hawks are certainly not the same side they were, but it was bound to happen.  Guys like Gibson and Burgoyne aren't far away from retirement either, so they will certainly slide down the ladder in the coming years.

    Roughead just took a superb pack mark

    Hawthorn need a Sam Mitchell / Jordan Lewis type.

    This game is driving me insane.

    I hate Hawthorn and watching them struggle across most lines on the ground is delightful. Wiping the smugness of their faces (including those of their supporters) is priceless.

    But, Essendon is being celebrated, rewarded and idolised for cheating and that makes me sick.

    This is simultaneously win-win and lose-lose.

    Edit: Also, the third man up rule is a farce. That free kick against Merrett is pathetic.

    Yep the 3rd man up is a complete joke. 

    Could cost a flag just because a player is marking an oponent

    Wasn't so much a case of third man up as man in the way. Hasn't that always been liable to lead to a free?

    Very conflicted on what I want to happen in the Hawks v Bombers game, the Hawks have been so good for so long so seeing them lose is always a good day. Although bombers fans will be insufferable if they win.

    • 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.
