This will be a big game and I am really interested to see which of our young guys stand up under "finals like" conditions. 

I am predicting Clayton Oliver will love it, Salem will go again and Tim smith and Christian petracca will arrive today 

 

We need to start solidly today.

The Roos wore them down...just not quite enough. The Dockers ..meh.

Will be ALL about the clearances.

Viney needs a better game. Bernie needs to be ON.

Smith could be anything. 

More comfortable knowing Goody has a style in place that also works at Etihad. Cats won't like it there anymore than we will.

Think Dees, by a couple.

A long tussle

Go US :)

10,000th post Abe. I hope you are right re Oliver Salem etc

 

Really excited about this game, happily will be sitting adjacent to the cheer squad with my boy, flying our flag

i reckon if our best 4 play like they did last week, and our quietest 4 lift (Melksham, Viney, Hannan, ANB) we'll do this (semi) comfortably. MFCSS can eff off

I don't know what to make of Geelong. I think they will be top 6, but at the same time I look at their side on paper, and it looks pretty ordinary outside of the usual guns.

I reckon this is a 50/50.


Last year we played a horrible match in round 19 against Gold Coast yet managed to eke out a win.  The following week we beat Hawthorn.

Winning is important, even if you win ugly like last Sunday.

I love the air of quiet confidence that many posters have going into this game (it's been a long time since we've seen that before a match against the Cats!).  For whatever reason, I've shared this confidence all week, and it's been reinforced by the decisions made around the selection table.  It's impossible to say that our lineup isn't weakened by the MRP 'lottery', but I love  the competitive look of our team today.  I really think we can win, and have the the football world start talking Melbourne in a serious vein.

 

Which goals does our supporter group sit for this game? Lockett or Coventry? 

I to have no idea what to expect and maybe part of that is due to playing at a ground that neither of us have as a home ground. Feels like we are on mutual territory. 

I guess the thing that worries me today is obviously danger and selwood and hawkins has a habit of getting hold of us. Tommy needs a big game on him today. 

It will be interesting to see how our forward line does go today. But I do like the inclusion of Kent. 

Wonder if the cats will go with the same tactics last week like they did against nth where they basically didn't nominate a ruckman and just let the nth guy do it on his own. 

Anyway it would be awesome to get another win today

Yep my son has been brainwashed, I told him if he wants to go to the footy it's dees or bust, not taking him to watch anyone else it seems to have worked 

Amateur!

 

my kids knew the theme song before they were born. (Seriously!)

Cats by 27.

i wanted to say us by 27, but the computer made me say Cats.

Go dees.

Just woke up and have a first class hangover. Bit of a rookie error when we've got very rough seas in front of us.

If this wind doesn't drop off I might be searching for a pub in Geraldton with Foxtel.

Freemasons Hotel or Railways Footy Club

Also I think Hogan out is not necessarily a bad thing.  Last week we really struggled with our forward 50 entries.  So the change in players should make us think more about how we are approaching this.  A little less predictable may not be a bad thing, especially after coming off two wins. 

I share your view.

Lewis's suspension is super unhelpful though. We really need his experience in these games.

 

 

Arrived home yesterday morning after a couple of weeks o/s. Was wide awake at 2am this morning which gave me a chance to get up and watch (and delete) the recording of last week's win. Foxtel also had a the 2015 R12 game on at some ungodly hour in the middle of the night...happy days!

Could be sound asleep by half time.

Ed: Ken's Dream is the favourite at Caulfield (R6). I'm loading up.

It's good to see you referring to yourself in the 3rd person.

Biffen approves.

Don't worry, Ken.  Viney will have put Dangerfield to sleep by half time so you'll have some company.


The draw was 91/1 yesterday, I cant believe it was my tenner that brought it in a bit tighter. But thats just lotto.

Dees to win under 20 - $5.50.

Go Demons!

    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.
