The Media and TV will be all over us this week for sure.

Hopefully we "take it one week at a time"

    The wheels have fallen off the tiggy train. The media down here need to talk about another Victorian team other than Geelong,  and it very well could be us.

    The dees are red hot, but we all know not too get too far ahead of ourselves.

    Agree. That seemed the be all the commentators or media talked about!

    Good ... Eagles over there this week.

    I think those saying we won't get much focus are a little naive.

    After the Adelaide win, Robbo was singing our praises on AFL360, as was GW. So I expect quite a bit of that this week. Healy also pumps us up when we're playing well. 

    Still, a bit of pressure like that in the media is a good test for a young side.

    If we're going to win a final, the best time to deal with that pressure is in the home and away games.

    I'm concerned King has been talking us up as a premiership threat the last few days.

    Don't generally rate his view...but hope he is on the money this time.

    Who cares media view. 

    I'm only worried about 4 points each week.

    That'll be the talking point - as it is alreadyfrom the AFL websites 'Things we learned this week'. In all seriousness - whilst no one can fault the dogs finals series last year, they did finish 7th - not 1st - and the competition has had roughly a decade of premiers being a powerhouse team - you just can't look at the Dogs of '16 through the same lens  and suggest that they have a premiership hangover... its not fair on them in actuality.

    Exactly, all this talk of "in a few years" is nonsense, we can win it now because the competition is so even.

    Having said that, because the competition is so even it means a lot of teams could win it this year.

    We're the only team to presently be on a three game winning streak.  I looked at the ladder and got a touch of vertigo.

    The view is nice from up here Nasher. I thought we would never see it again!

    The media, including many of the exfootballer expert types are so fickle it's not funny.  Go back three or four weeks and they were talking up St Kilda as being ahead of where we are.

    I think our ladder position is finally starting to reflect where we are at as a side this year.  Particulaly with the drop off of Hawthorn and Sydney, I'm with others here saying there is no team I fear in the comp.  We have either beaten or been very competitive against every team in the comp over the last two years and we have definitely moved forward this year, closing the gap between our best and worst, our percentage proves it - Roos was very right on that measure.

    we may be a flavour but it'll be called  "sweet or sour "   are they the real Deel ?? etc etc

    we could win the flag and there'd be the shlts in the media ( we know who you are, and we know you read this !! ) who would still offer up something like " Did Melbourne deserve the cup ? " etc

    There's a clique  out there in media land who just aren't into us..

    It's them....not us ;)

    • 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.
