Pretty sure I saw a homeless man trying to get inside the tent he was pitching.

And big Cox! 

Hate to say it but Pies are a lot better than anyone wants to admit. Scarily they couldn’t beat West Coast in Perth. I’m worried. I’m very worried. 


Injecting room could get busy.

Dees v Pies GF

first time both teams missed finals the 4 previous years?

I still remember Bruce's favourite moment from the 1988 Olympics.... "would have to be Carl Lewis in those tight bike shorts"

not anything to do with the amazing athletic feats just the fact he loved seeing Carls tackle wobbling around....

Or you could look at it like... We can beat WCE in Perth and Pies can't!

Can you even imagine?    Would be the greatest grand final week of all time.


Take away Richmond’s pressure and this is what you’re left with. The same top heavy side they’ve always been.

To date they've won two games all season against the sides who made the finals.

Everyone was right to question whether they were any good given that until last week, Queen's Birthday was their only win over anyone good (and we were tripe that day).

In saying that, they've weathered Richmond's attempted fightback this quarter and extended their lead. Game looks over and they'd fancy themselves against either West Coast or us.

They’re playing out of their skin tonight- if they’d brought this to west coast two weeks ago they would have flogged them.  

Like us the pies have improved their gameplay over the season, like us they are peaking at the right time.  Almost a parallel development.  

 

We can't match and surpass them.

 

 

 


I reckon they are going to revisit the double bye (end of r23 and winner of qual final), it does seem to be an advantage playing every week of finals in recent history.

It's a few things.

Riewoldt aside, their A-graders are having no influence (Martin, Cotchin, Rance, Edwards are all struggling or getting beaten). In 2017-2018 they've hardly had games where those players have been poor, and we know none of them get injured, so it's no coincidence IMO that when they struggle, the B-graders fall away (e.g. Caddy and Rioli have been woeful tonight).

They're too short, and Collingwood are tactically using their height to their advantage.

Collingwood's pressure is also through the roof, and any side under this pressure is going to struggle.

They’ve beaten the best team, they are the heavyweight champ. Hopefully they hold that title for a week only.

De Goey off the rooms. Howe grabbing a hammy. Excellent news for us potentially. 


Is it just me or has Richmond looked really selfish in their front half tonight?

Which knee jerker made that call ..... Vlad or Dill?

I agree it is a stupid idea.    Loses momentum not only for the teams but also for the supporters, especially the “neutral”ones.  

 

DeeeeGooey, and now Howe looking injured.  

Mmmmmm

Only top 8 side they beat all season was us, and that was before we clicked. They went over West with a plan and fell short, they were bloody ordinary last week. Tonight they have simply beaten Richmond at their own game. Manic pressure, move it fwd at all costs, next thing the ball bounces your way and you’re looking like millionaire’s. I still think whoever wins tomorrow wins the lot.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
