Not often I agree with , but you were pretty close this week ( or was I ).

ANB and Hannan have been the surprise packets for me this year.

I am officially on the Hannan bandwagon. Love his ability to throw it on the boot quickly around goal.

And I agree ANB has been great the last few weeks. I also think JKH has looked at home since coming back, although a little quieter today.

If someone said Jones and Vince were available next week, i'd find it hard to find 2 names to drop from that side.

Lewis - some wrong decisions

Oscar - Punching into corridors

Hunt - Loved the smother

Jetta - Just wins 50/50s

Neal Bullen - Cementing his spot

Garlett - Coulda kicked 8

Hogan - Played small today


Can't believe this but I agree with you on Tyson. Got heaps of, was important, but gee he was wasteful. 

Melbourne members/supporters - where were you?

27,000 is pretty ordinary considering all the obvious good reasons to go. How much more incentive do you need?

Oscar- what is with that. Thought he was quite steady and although no damage done,  what is with spoiling into the most dangerous spot possible ?

 

I'm a Tyson fan and the good news is, he gets to good positions and attracts the ball  but yes, prolific but wasteful.

Jetta. Bluey in my book. Just a great story and a damn good  bloke. Well done Nev.

Has always been his problem, poor disposal. It needs to get sorted out.

Actually I don't think it's a hard call.

Vince replaces Trengove whom wouldn't have played had Bernie not been a turkey last week.

Jones replaces JKH.

 

I hope Trenners is being judged on merit rather than group think, or bias???

I was watching him for signs of slowness today and was actually pleasantly surprised.  I didn't see any concerns in his speed other than fatigue during a chase nearing the end of the game

I dunno, Vince is averaging just the 20 touches this season, and with that comes the semi-regular brain fades in defence and occasional stray elbow. He has slaughtered Sloane twice but most other mids aren't tagged out so easily. If Trenners can lift his output a little next week (20+ touches), then I'd have no qualms with Bernie coming back through Casey.

The ground level MCC members nearly made up for it . They heartily boo-ed the umpires  and that naughty " Number 22 " .

ANB- becoming a weapon

Hannan- draft day steal

Average crowd for a Port Adelaide game at the MCG is 25.5k. Nothing wrong with 27k today.

Tbh, I think it's the opposite, the same as his return last year. Few posters were willing to admit he was poor prior to the bye, but then he was dropped. We all feel for him with what he has been through.

I'll get shot down for being negative, but he added very little today. He made a good tackle early which the umpire incorrectly called against him but other than that, was a bit out of place. I'm OK with giving him another game to make sure but he was a long way off today. 

He doesn't have a get out move in defence. Hunt and Hibberd can run, Jetta is extremely evasive, Trengove lacks a move with front on pressure.

Regional Queensland, on-call.'

Loved the win, though!

Good turnout imo.  Considering we struggled to crack 20k against the likes of Port and Freo during our finals years in the 00s yet have managed 27k against both this year despite not playing finals for a decade says we're doing okay. Collingwood a so called powerhouse managed 35k against them. I'd say that's a good ratio relative to membership and support numbers.

Seven turnovers.

A lot of those were under very little pressure too.

  • 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.
