That'd be right. The team we play next week gets smacked, so will be out for blood next week. I swear it's happened 2 or 3 times already this season.

    Looking forward to playing the Swans.

    They're pulversing the Dogs inside who are pretty handy in that department and with the inside game is our stongest suit will be a great test of where we're at

    True, but Crows were coming off a terrible loss at home v us.

    That's true. Let's hope history repeats itself there.

    Imagine how much more the doggies would have lost by without Cloke!

    Dogs aren't much chop this year. Their midfield is decent, but their forward line is non existent and backline average. Won't be doing big damage in finals again this year unless they make big changes.

    In their current form we should account for them in two weeks time.

    Swans look like they're back to the form we expect of them. Should've won by 70-80 points tonight. Scoreboard flatters the Doggies.

    Great idea to recruit Cloke from such a successful club.

    Wouldn't be writing the dogs off yet. They had an okay year all of last year and were only dominant in the final 4 weeks, where it counted

    They had an OK year with 15 wins and 8 points seperating them from 1st ?

    But to counter that we've got Collingwood this weekend who are coming off the highest of highs.

    not sure which we'd rather?

    I'd prefer a team getting smacked then a team winning by 10 goals.

    We just don,t get pulverised in the 1st quarter.

    SCG often produces rubbish games because its small size makes modern footy more compressed. But you have to love the way the Swannies targeted certain Doggies and mentally threw them off. 

    Buddy is a freak, and I loved the way he intentionally led his player away when Reid was marking everything. Team goals are always the best. 

    Every few years or so I end up a fan of an opposition player. Kennedy is a star. Tough, effective and inspiring. 

    Doggies looked poor because of the Swannies pressure. Any team can beat anycteam by applying that manic pressure, like we did to Adelaide.

    Adelaide v St Kilda tonight ... would like a win by the Crows so as to get some breathing space on St Kilda

    The next three weeks... Collingwood, Bulldogs and Swans will go a very long way to shaping the MFC season.

    Richmond play Sydney next week which will be interesting

    It can also dent their confidence

    Messi must be pinching himself that he's sharing the MCG with the great Coutinho. 

     

    As for the Saints, hope they get smashed. Again. 

    Weller playing his 100th. Or as he sees it, his 10th.

    Doggies loss was good for us last night,  Crows smashing Saints will be great for us too.

    Saints will be desperate to emulate what the Dees did vs Adelaide a few weeks ago to show they have finals credentials.

    • 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.
