Jayden is on SEN right now chatting to the 'Gladiators'. Sounds confident he'll play next week.

    That's another huge win without Hogan in the team.

    First Geelong at Geelong, then Hawks at the G coming off 9 straight wins, now Crows in Adelaide.

     

    I firmly believe that we are a better team with Hogan in the side, but clearly we should be doing things differently when he is. What should we do about this little conundrum?

    worst 74 hit out game ever....... ??...is there such a thing - won the taps haven't seen the stats but surely we smashed the clearances.. and smashed him around the ground. 

    Hit outs were 76-29 but clearances were 38-49 and centre clearances an utterly incredible 6-18.

    Most will have absolutely nothing negative to say about tonight - and then DLand kept crashing after the win and delivered us something to complain about!

    The perfect evening.

    Have been out at a birthday party and thought i had drunk too much when looking at scores. Assuming We must have corrected our insane handballing and kicked more tonight. Our winning games have seen a ratio of about 1.30 so far. Tonight?

    Was pretty much 1 to 1 ratio wise, a few more kicks than handballs

    Hogan needs to change the way he plays (less calling for ball on his head) and Melbourne need to stop always looking for him as the first option.

    I love the umpires tonight well for part of it anyway!!

    in the third qrt we held two crows players while they didn't have the ball in their f50 and no free kick was called and then it goes down to our f50 and Garlett gets thrown around and is paid the free kick and goals. 

    Priceless. 

    I did have a chuckle to myself about that.

    Maybe a run at CHB?

    Mixed feelings on this win,  will mean nothing if we lose next week, we are still playing one bad qtr every game, also we were down by 26 points in 2nd quarter before we got our game going, this has to change if we are to make finals. Second week in a row we lost hit outs badly but still won the clearances, we would be top 4 if max was playing

    Great to hear that he is sounding ok.

    Brave kamakazee type.

    Inspirational.

    I suspect however that he will be "cautiously managed".

    Is Melbourne the only team to have been at least level in the last quarter of every game this year? I'm not saying we could easily be undefeated, but...relax we've got this.

    Hopefully Hogan, and the team, will learn that Jesse is part of the team, part of the forward line and though I think we all agree that we are (at least potentially) better with him, he needs to be more team focused. 

    What ishis tackle count per game this year?

  • Quote

    2 on 1 contests.

    Even in the recent past, we would have both players attempt to tackle a lone opponent. It looked like the objective was to force a stoppage.

    Tonight, one of our players would peel off in the belief that his teammate would win the contest and handball.

    Did anyone else notice this?

    Having not seen the game other than the highlights, this is really pleasing to read.

    Against much better opposition than last week, we've learned a couple of really important lessons.

    You'll enjoy the replay :)

    Melbourne on the rebound after last weeks loss will be a difficult proposition for Adelaide...

    Well there you have it...

    We've been conditioned to be worried about other teams on the rebound against us.

    Maybe it's time to realise we are good enough to beat anyone on a given day.

    I said the the Game day thread that Bugg would probably get a ton of the ball but cost us about 3 goals from turnovers. I reckon I ended up about -6 in my predictions there...

    • 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.
