Question to the TV crew. From the far reaches of L4 I saw Dustbin Fartin’ drop the ball in a tackle.. no decision.. then he touched a Melbourne player and got a HTB. 

As bad a call on TV as it appeared from the ground?

    Well, it’s an improvement. Team defence looking a lot better, but still all at sea going forward.

    Look... we're not necessarily playing well here.  The dew is making us fumble the ball, miss targets and turn the ball over a bit.  Our forward line isn't working too well and we're allowing the Tigers just to pick the ball off at will.  In the first term we were much better when we lowered our eyes, but with the pressure up we're rushing and it shows.

    On the flip side, I feel like we're setting up better defensively and the pressure has been good.  Kudos to Goody for making some changes, both with the ins this week and the way we've set up.  We are well and truly in this game, but third terms have been our kryptonite this season.  We need to make sure we come out switched on to ensure we stick with them.

    I think you're mostly right WB, but not sure about the dew making us fumble. I think we're good enough at that ourselves. No skills.

    Hore has shown he can almost break even against Riewoldt. Send TMac forward, we need a target.

    Feels like the Neeld years, just hanging in there & at some point the opposition will kick away.

    I think you've forgotten what the Neeld years were like.  This doesn't even come close.

    That qtr was poor, seems like our backs pushing back when the tigers do to even the out number(watching on tele) so it didnt cost us 8 goals.

    Liked us showing that we can hit a target and stop the repeat inside 50s, tigers are great at that and it was a better concentration.

    Our setups got shut down a bit and got sucked in, hopefully they adjust and we get back on top in general play and we'll get better i50s for the forwards to implement the structures and leads they did in the first

    The Rioli drop on the boundary was worse. Dropped it to himself, and the commentators were fawning over "all the little things that Richmond does that other teams just dont"...

    A mark inside 50 

    My kingdom for a mark inside 50

    (or a free)

    Good luck with that. Demons i50 are invisible for umpires, unless they infringe.

    YES!


    No Key Forwards able to impact a contest against the grain apart from a nice contested mark and Goal from the Bull who is more a medium tall forward.    Time to go after Cameron pls.

    Tracc and Harmes virtually zero impact so far!??

    For all the Jeffy haters and doubters he has worked his [censored] off and played mutiple roles so far.  Decent effort / pressure when we have lost the ball also.

    Viney everywhere but struggling to break free.

    Hore playing another solid game.  Frosty better in the first than the 2nd but doing ok.

    Hibb doing a fabulous lock down job on Dusty to this point.

    Any chance Trac will ever stand up in a critical time? He has done SFA

    Geez the umpiring. Between the new rules and umpiring we just don't get a fair go at it.

    Won't argue that we fumble anyway, but we're going for a world record tonight with how slippery it is out there.

    Is Trac playing?

    First half could only be described as disgraceful.

    Brayshaw leading possies but has turned it over relentlessly.

    If we cleaned up our disposal we could be leading.

    Very good effort in first half. Can we repeat it?

    do they train with a ball,fumbles are terrible ,first take or you done this level

    Don’t disagree with you about the commentators, but as long as you’re not being tackled you are allowed to drop the ball, that’s what a bounce is and what happens when you drop the ball to your foot in an attempt to kick it but miss. No free in either situation.

    Noticed that GLG. Preeetty sure you still need to handball to yourself, right? 

    Probably came in this year without me realizing..

     

    We’re much better than last week in most areas but our skills are too bad for us to keep in this game. 

    That’s partly due to Richmond’s elite pressure but also because we’re just butchering it. 

    The defensive structure is better, the positional changes Goodwin made are largely working and we have a better hunger and work rate, all of which are positives. But if we keep turning it over at half forward Richmond will eventually make us pay.

    we are lucky to still be in the game given our [censored] poor disposal. i dont know why they waste a spot on ANB every damn week he is proven to be a waste of space. If Max can only get his mojo back in his hitouts to advantage we could have a chance. What i dont understand though is we kicked the ball out of defence at least half a dozen time and there were no melbourne players there, what gives. why are they not staying up the ground to cover the opponents. and give our backs something to kick to for a change, as they are getting sick of kicking it to richmond players.

    • 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.
