Gus and Fritsch have been poor but everyone else is looking pretty sharp. We’re in this up to our necks.

 

Best we’ve played all year. Which says a lot. Happy with that.

    Gus poor, umps poor, Oskar trying to do a bit too much.

    Lovely work through the middle of the ground for Hunty's goal, and TMac was looking good early.

    Gus must be injured. Two weeks he has looked out of it. Plus he isn’t playing on the ball which is suspicious. 

    Luckily I think Jones has been very good on the ball

    Umps near to wear noise cancelling head phones 

    How's that gonna help the ump who woke up 20km from the ground and has an Eagles jumper in his closet?

    That was the 1st quarter I was expecting to see in the prelim......where has this team been..?!!

    Where was this team in the prelim last year?

    We're still butchering it going forward (although lot less), but wow look at the hunger, the 2nd efforts, the bodies around the ball.

    That Clarry chain for the goal from Hunt was the best I've seen all year.

    If we can maintain this for (only) 3 more qtrs, and convert forward chances, we've got a real chance.

    What a sweet feeling it would be the beat the Eagles over there with our seconds! (no disrespect to the boys out there, I speak only from the perspective of our starting squad).

    Just now, leave it to deever said:

    Minus goals via dumb frees and easy missed shots should be 4 goals up.

     

    You need to pencil in 4-8 goals to West Coast from dodgy bias frees. So essentially we need to be a 10 goal better side to ensure a win. 

    Why Pruess is not playing is beyond me... i cant see any decent reason to suggest he would not be a huge asset up forward the way we bring the ball in tonight and as an assist to Maxy rucking up forward.

    The more i watch the more it needs to be Pruess for Smith.  I'm not saying Smith won't play some sort of role later in the match and might even kick the winner or be involved in the winning play but Pruess offers the marking/rucking ability as well as a very difficult / unusual match up that would worry the Coaster's back 6 and set the cat amongst the pigeons.  Jeffy would be happier too IMO and grow another leg with Andre throwing his weight around.

    Best we’ve looked all year I reckon. Tmac is back!!! Umpires truly truly frikn atrocious.., like our goal kicking.

    ww need Jeffry and Brayshaw in the game.

    Positives: best I’ve seen us play for a while. 

    Negatives: still insanely wasteful going forward. Although this time is much more to do with inaccuracy. Tom, Petracca, Garlett really needed to nail their shots. 

    Aliens will look back 200 million light years from now upon a scorched Earth, recovering a scarred but intact drive from the server upon which Demonland was co hosted and after reconstructing the data in zero time will be positively scratching their 16 heads with one of their 4 shhhlongs in outright bemusement at this Thompson-like stream of consciousness 

     

    love it

    Umpires making things difficult so far with separate interpretations of holding the ball for each team!

    Longest trip to Perth ever? Miss the Prelim, show up 6 months later at a completely different game.

    Fritsch is a turnover mechant. Brayshaw could do with a stint at Casey

    Big call and agree 

    worked last year and that 

    Baker has only had three touches, but two of them were absolutely sublime kicks on the run that hit difficult targets.  If he can get it  more often he'll be a weapon. 

     

    Jones and Tommy have started well. Even Gawn looks better. Brayshaw is falling over and fumbly. 

    A good start. You would take a 1/4 time lead. Just hope we can keep it up and make use of our shot on goal. 

    Petracca has been around long enough that he should have kicked that goal. Need to be better. Yes that goal on t e run helped but he needs to stand up. 

    I think that Oliver/Hunt goal is the best since Jeff Farmers ...great stuff.

    • 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.
