If tigers lose to GWS and we beat north next week tigers should be 9th 

And the universe will make sense again.

    Amazing how tight the half of the ladder is at the moment.  Assuming Port continue on their merry way and beat the Suns, they will go from just outside the top eight, to just inside the top four based on just that one result.

    AFL had lots of chest beating saying the China game was a sell out!  Well, the stadium looks half empty. 

    Did the tickets go to rent-a-crowd who couldn't be bothered or did the alcohol ban to the masses keep them away?

    I assume Gil and co are enjoying their wines and beers in their corporate boxes!! 

    So hypocritical. 

    So AFL!

    Not only that but you've got two of the least interesting football sides over there playing.  Neither of them are relevant and the game has been horrible to watch.

    It has nothing on the 6 goals Jurrah kicked over there many years ago!

    The most fun thing in football outside of anything demons... is watching Richmond delude themselves every year. Bless em.

    Apparently 5000 went over to watch it. That seems a little high, but if true you'd think the local crowd would be minuscule, looking at the stadium.

    All the media people are building it up. The players and coaches all keep saying no-one over there gives a damn. lol

    Stupid I think. If there was an o/s country worth going to would be Japan. They're sports mad, love imported sports, and have one of the biggest overseas supporter bases going round. Not sure where you'd play it though. not a lot of space. lol

    We really should be able to win the next three games. I'd be dissapointed to lose any of them.  7-4 mid year with no max would be amazing considering how close the four losses have been

    Mundy just topped off the weekend, hilarious!

    In the AFL rules book there must be a rule that states Dusty can not be penalised for holding the ball whilst trying to fend off 3 blokes whilst putting  an opponent in a headlock and incorrectly disposing of the ball.

     

    There's a lot of hierarchy scared of lil ol' Dusty

    Thought Gold Coast would put up a better performance.

    Have watched it for a few minutes on and off ... lucky they shipped in the Port 5000.

    Could be hard to get them to go again next year perhaps.

    Most interesting thing to me is the advertising hoardings.

    Haven't noticed much dragon dancing on the terraces.

    Apparently AFL have only backed it for one year ..... interesting times ahead

    We should be able to Abe, but let's not get ahead of ourselves.  We've done it a few times before.  I agree that they are extremely winnable games, and I'm hopeful that last night really IS the turning point for this side, but as a young team we are still capable of getting ahead of ourselves.  Fingers crossed those times are passing.

    What an appalling game of footy.  No redeeming features at all

    Haven't scrolled through the other pages, but did anyone see the press sooking over Cyril Rioli's knee being damaged after he drove it into the back of a Brisbane player? He can do absolutely no wrong in their eyes, it's pathetic. Should be at least fined for rough conduct.

    His correct name is just "Cyril" and the proper spelling of "pathetic" is D-E-L-I-C-I-O-U-S.

    Would it matter if there was? Last time the umps or their directors looked at the rule book was in the 1990s. Since then it's all been about "interpretations" and videos on the AFL web site.

    It was great wasn't it, lol.

    They played [censored] for 3 quarters, almost stole it with 30 seconds to go, then have it taken from them after the siren.

    In any season you will see it is our fate, too miss out on the 8, we win a few, then loose a lot, and then it is too late

    For despite all the signs, we'll finish in ninth, oh we're from Ti...ger ... (FINISH IN NINTH!) ... oh, we're from Ti...ger...land!

    They played the Port club song instead of the Australian National Anthem.  http://www.theage.com.au/afl/port-adelaide-song-played-instead-of-australian-national-anthem-at-shanghai-match-20170514-gw4ixk.html

    Special cheer goes out to the game's biggest sook - Jack Riewolt.

    To be fair, I'd love to have their sook up forward in tandem with our sook.

    LOL @ Richmond.  Worst 5-0 team ever.

    We will take their spot in the 8.

    • 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.
