Just turned on the TV and saw the Hawks immediately kick a goal. Unbidden, a discernable rush of anger pulsated through my brain.

My god I hate that footy club.

just remember the role of the MFC for years has been to play bad teams into form.

Hawthorn will take a while to die.... a bit like North

    Surely, the only game that should be billed as country vs city is Melbourne v Geelong... [censored] off Essendon.

    If Sheedy loves the need to label matches that ultimately mean [censored] all to hype them up (City v Country.. incredible, can't wait for this one), then I'm looking forward to him drumming up next weeks game against West Coast! Wonder what he could call it..?

    Mate hes a star. To say that hes not a great player is simply laughable and silly.

    His workrate is up there with one of the best in the competition and one on one hes elite. 

    Since 2013 hes kicked over 60 goals every season since. Not a great player.. Sorry Adam but not one of your finest here.

    Haha, fair enough, mate. Might be struggling this weekend it seems. ;)

    the jacket-waver spectacular, of course

    Wasn't sure where to put this, but if we're not in Weitering's ear, I'd be annoyed. Have no idea what he'd cost, but imagine Weitering at CHB? Love it.

    The Carlton game plan is very, very obvious and clever in a way. They're a short chipping team. They don't need to move it particularly quickly. They don't have great kickers either, so the short chipping game suits them. Bring manic pressure, break even or win the midfield battle and they have some tall marking options. If you make Carlton kick long though, they'll be in trouble and if you move it quickly and efficiently you account for them easily. This game is being played on Carlton's terms though. They're pretty good at getting the game played on their terms at the moment.

    I'm currently loving it, because my St Kilda mate was very smug during the week. I said we'd finish above them still and he said they'd beat Carlton easily. That may still happen, but Murphy is playing a blinder. They have to stop him.

    I've only seen this (2nd) quarter today, but their foot skills are more reliable than ours. 

    Not sure which team I want to lose more in this one.

    Their foot skills appear more reliable because most of their kicks are 25-30 metres. Whenever they go longer than this distance they turn it over. You watch.

    Weitering is their new marquee player. Can play back and forward. He isn't going anywhere unless you want to make an offer around 1.5M per year if not more

    What a passage of plays that was! Gold.

    And St Kilda are being shown up today too. If I was a St Kilda supporter I'd be livid. Carlton have controlled large portions of the game and if Cripps doesn't have a brainfade there, they take the lead at half time. Gee, Cripps is slow, a gun, but as slow as a wet week.

    Those are the kicks we constantly [censored] up under not much pressure. Drives me crazy.

    Hence why I'm not so worried about our current situation.

    apart from the fact that we're not getting the wins, playing inconsistent football, and generally go to 'sleep' for one quarter a game, me either.

    huge test tonight.

    Hawthorn currently cleaning Brisbane up, so the wrist slitters don’t need to worry about a Lions win sending a message about how crap we are or something.

    St Kilda blew a match winning lead - surely you now hope they lose as they'll clearly be the more miserable team of the two.

    At least in this game there's no way for sooky Melbourne supporters to manage to interpret the result as an insult against us since we've beaten both of them.

    A Carlton win today would be a massive help in our efforts to surpass the Saints and snag a Final 8 spot at the end of the year. While I fear that boat may have sailed for us with our past few losses, the Blues winning could lessen the Saints’ lead over us.

    They've completely binned the deliberate out of bounds so far this round, let's see how many we cop tonight. I'll go with 4.

    The AFL is run by peanuts, it was never a good rule and the fact that someone even suggested it is a disgrace.

    If St Kilda get some injuries, they'll be in big trouble. They still rely on too few IMO.

    What an incredible goal by Sidebottom. Too bad it was at that soulless hell hole. Hardly any reaction at all.

    Maybe Sidebottom is someone we should be trying to lure to the Dees.

    Would complement our midfield.

    • 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.
