Carlton back in now familiar territory. Rather them than us!

    I liked the synonymous sitcom with Ade Edmondson and Rik Mayall but never said I was addicted to it.

    The more the AFL survives the less the change 

    Carlton 2018 last

    Carlton 2019 last.

    Obviously if they win today then they will go above us so hope not.

    Can we win 2 in a row or is that still too much expectation 

    (can we defend on the big MCG, more to the point?)

    Off the bottom, now what second/third bottom -  meh, who cares.

    I only care what we have achieved at the end of the season.

    If we beat St Kilda next week, we will be in pretty much the same win/loss position as the same time last year.  The key difference will be that I think our draw from there on will get harder rather than easier, but if we can't raise our game to the point where we can consistently beat the better sides, then what's the point of making finals anyway.

    I think our fortunes from here will largely rest on how we recover injury wise.  If we can get back some of our guns like Lever, May, AVB, Hannan etc, without losing too many other quality players, our back half of the year could be pretty dam impressive.

    If it wasn't for Carlton being on the bottom of the ladder, I would have started to wonder whether along with 6-6-6 and other rule changes, the AFL had brought in some other rule or interpretation that the ladder was to be read in reverse. Who, in all honesty, would have predicted before the beginning of the season that all of Brisbane, St Kilda, Gold Coast and Fremantle would be in the top 8 at the end of round 4?

    I reckon a few umpires with new brown paper bags thought they could swing it.

    I haven't seen us do it yet and therefore expect to lose against a hard running and speedy Saints.

    It will be interesting to see the Goodwin tactics

    Off the bottom...

    Such lofty ambition. Haven't our achievements changed from the predicted !!

    I'm just all warm and fuzzy about this.

    Surely.... anything from 9 down....is just the bottom ??

    Look at us...golleeeee...the foundation club doing what we've done best..... supporting the ladder !!

    We need to be in the 8 by the midpoint of the season - therefore need to string some wins together - lose this week and it's a long way back

    • 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.
