AFLW: Rd 4 vs North Melbourne

Huge game in the context of the AFLW and finals make-up.  Match of the round I'd recon.

I have watched our first two games of the season in recient days.  Standard of the game have been pretty good.  Our ball movement and ball handling has been great and a step above our opponents to date.  Last week against Brisbane our forward line really clicked and we were able to put that dominance on the scoreboard.

From what I can make out, our women's team play a similar game style as the senior men's side - hard contested ball and the good handballs out to running options to play an agressive, attacking forward half brand of football.  Comparitive to some of the other AFLW sides, you can also tell that it's a fairly settled team that has good cohesion and knowledge of how their team mates play.  Was great to seeing the team singing the song with pride and gusto out on the ground at the end of the Lions game.

Looking for more of the same against North - alway good to beat them.

    Some good results last night. 

    Lions ousted Blues from the top two of Conf B.  As GF finalists of the last two years Brisbane are so much more deserving of a finals berth.  They are also more likely to give Conf A teams a challenge during finals.

    Adelaide had a convincing win over Freo which really opens up Conf A.  Win today by more than a few points and we go to second. 

    Interestingly North are not a high scoring side - their excellent %age is on the back of a miserly defence or poor opposition.  In the context of this season North haven't taken a 'scalp' with wins over Carlton, GWS and Bulldogs.  They are gettable!! 

    Needless to say, we must win today to stay in touch with top 2.

    perhaps it needs to stay here a little while post  game as well.

    Anyway a very hot day for it and not much shade at Casey. Will be tough conditions.

    Go Dees... a big match today

    Magpies getting well beaten by the Giants down in Morwell.

    Seems that the Magpies are having continuing difficulties scoring much more than ten points.

    Not that good for the overall comp

    Qtr Time:  Dees 1.0.6 North 1.1.7

    Not much sign the wind is having an impact.  Low scoring but good quality game.

    We need to make Emma Carney accountable - getting too much of the ball.  And btw she has gone to the Joel Selwood school of milking free kicks:  lifts the elbow and hunches the shoulder to draw a high free.

    For some reason we seem to be pushing our forwards a long way up the ground so difficult to get the ball into scoring range.  We played a more balanced field in recent weeks.

    Getting dominated now. By the Roos and the umps. So many soft frees going their way and ones missed we should be getting.

    This umpiring.

    It's the not paying frees that are there. A North goal resulted almost directly from Cat Phillips being held but not paid the free.

    Forget the the standard of AFLW footy, the standard of umpriing is diabolical.

     Very winnable game from here, just need to tighten up. We seem to be going down the boundary a lot and allowing Norf loose players through the middle on the rebound.

    First game I have watched this season, impressed with the standard of disposal, and general play, a couple of great grabs too. Very watchable

    Geez its all about Mo Hope and Norf.

    Hope we pinch this. We're playing just as well, just not finishing in the forward line.

    Umpiring is perplexing

    • 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

      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.
