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.  

Yeah I hate it, no games just before finals..gives advantage to the lower teams to refresh for the next set of games.

    Could we handle Cox? Frosty?

    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.

    If Collingwood win, it'll be 2-3 (in favour of sides who play in the semi finals) in prelims since they brought the bye in.

    Even if West Coast beat us, and it's 3-3, that's a 50% fail rate for top 4 sides who win their first final in the prelim since they brought the bye in.

    From 2006-2015 only once side did it (Hawthorn in 2015).

    Don't jinx anything!

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

    Their constant mantra of trying to keep the ball in motion looks terrible when it doesn't work. Lots of players not wanting to put their head over the ball and get the contested ball and instead just tap it forward or kick it forward because usually that works, but it looks silly when those taps forward just go to Collingwood players.

    Wasn't sold on Collingwood at all. Only one top 8 scalp all season and a very soft fixture care of finishing bottom 6.

    Didn't think beating a [censored] house GWS proved their credentials but embarrassing the best team in the comp has shown they are the real deal. Sadly.

    We were 32 points up at three quarter time last week and the Hawks got within twelve

    Can hear the fireworks for the storm win

    Bring Bernie in, just to smack him at the opening bounce?

    Richmond getting that goal would've been huge. Almost game on if this was under 30 points.

    I understand the theory behind it, I believe it was Freo that rested half a dozen star players the week before the finals. I think the better change would be to play all final round games at the same time ala Premier League in the UK. 

    But it definitely looks like the bye now favours non top 4 teams.

    Yeah, Frosty would do him I reckon. Very worried watching him tonight but yeah Frosty has the speed and power to push him.

    I was thinking the same thing. Cox didn't look as good that quarter, with the pies disposal dropping off a bit. Team effort I think, Frosty with Max filling the hole. Cox has shown a bit of forward craft this game which is annoying.

    As I  said....pathetic knee jerk reaction.

    After all, Lyons “shrewd tactic”backfired on him

    Why somewhere as “civilized “ as Texas.  Why not Baghdad or Kabul or Aleppo?

    • 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.
