    Are Adelaide missing our #8, or is Dooday covering him well?

    The deliberate OOB decisions are even more embarrassing.

    All the focus was on whether it was touched or not: I wondered if it actually after that brushed on the shin of a Swan closer to goal?  Didn't seem to review that.

    Exactly, I thought it was pretty clear the ball hit the Swans player just above the foot and went through for a goal. I assumed that’s what was being reviewed. Weird

    I am with you, seemed very odd they didn't look at that.

    What was the conversation all about during the review? Something about kicking in danger and indiscriminate kicks causing damage. Was that the ump talking to a player?

    Nonsense. They’re deliberately not trying. Someone high up is rigging the games or has a bet on that trickles down to the coaches and players. We’re being duped.

    Agreed. And every player is in on it.

    I heard the umpire but wasn’t really paying attention.

    Have a look at the game Adelaide played against Collingwood and then tell me I’m wrong. I’m not. Collingwood are a [censored] team and Adelaide were hopeless and clearly not trying.

    Sounded like a female voice and a very strange conversation. Maybe it was a player but for some reason I thought it was coming through his head set...

    I think the voice was trying to say it was kicking in danger but the ump was having none of it. Was almost as if the voice wanted to turn over a decision & award a free kick on review which would have been very embarrassing. 

    The ump to his credit pointed out his decision not to award an in danger free had nothing to do with the review.

    I don't think we were supposed to be in on that discussion but would be very interested to know who it was with. Wonder if the AFL can use the hit the wrong button excuse this time.

    Stormy - why is that more odd?

    Wouldnt trust the AFL one inch ...... rigged fixture, or rather fixed ire, just for starters.

    Pretty sure they have mentioned a few times they get to see more angles than what channel 7 shows. Guess you can blame 7 for not showing this one live

    Handy game last night. Showed to me that any team, in form on the day and willing to go 100% can win against any opposition.

    Its how the Dogs did it two years back and the Tigs last year. I feel the flag this year is again anyone’s to win.

    People were silly to write off the crows after last week and people will be sillier again to write off an aging (or slow) swans for this year as well.

    Both teams have significantly more firepower than us at the moment.

    • 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.
