I went tonight and at the ground it wasn’t that hard to differentiate the teams

It was a pretty ropey game; pies got the early break and that was it

terrible skills from both sides; meth coke will feast on cats next week and pies will lose de goey and probably Greenwood

Very hard to see either going all the way

    Cats must apply pressure at the stoppages and stop the kicking game of the Eagles

    Would love the AFL to move the game to Kardinia Park

    If Geelong go out in straight sets, there'd have to be questions asked about Scott wouldn't there?

    Bloke has overseen a string of finals chokes already. His tenure has been masked by walking into a side that coached itself to a flag in 2011.

    I commend him for changing up their forwardline this year, but they rely on too few and many go missing when the blow torch is applied back the other way.

    Ugh the moment you wake up in the morning and realise the filth are straight through to a prelim. 

    Admittedly I didn't see the game but did the pies lose Degoey and greenwood before 1/2 time?  Seriously how could the cats not win and the pies didn't even kick a goal in the final term.

    The pie where Happy to defend in the last qtr they just went slow and sucked the game to death, if footy goes on like this year it will lose fans, has became a defensive game.

    The pies unlike us have shown they can be decimated by injuries and still play good footy. They are a switched on “one for all and all for one” side and not one led by two headless chooks.

    That's being a bit hard on chooks perhaps.

    Last night's game was boring. Turned the sound down and read the cricket rain updates in the Guardian for entertainment

    We’re back to a place where the only enjoyment we get is watching other teams lose.

    Love them or hate them, the Pies have a strong belief about themselves and good luck to them. That Elliott smother/dive on Bews from memory in the dying minutes was pure determination and team first football. 

    Most Geelong players looked like they had concrete boots on. Dangerfield carried them last night and he nearly pinched the game.

    Yep. Not often a winning side doesn’t score anything in the last Quarter. 

    Shows just how bad Jeelong were in the First Half

    The cliff is coming for the Cats. 

    It all looks good at the early stages of the season when the old stagers are up and running.

    They were the same last year in the finals against us. 

    Selwood, Hawkins, Ablett and Taylor all ineffective.  Just too old come the end of the season.

    Will be interesting to see how they play the Kelly trade. He's a good player.

    Top notch coaching by Buckley last night.  Down to 2 in last 1/4 with 4 goal lead managed perfectly.

    If only we had those types of thinkers inside Dees box.?

    Last year the cats only managed 6 goals against us and last night could only manage 7. That is not going to be enough next week against the eagles. Hawkins kicks 4 behinds. Not good enough from your key forward. If he was playing against us that would have been 4 straight. Even if he kicked 1/2 they would have won. 

    Anyway go bulldogs today and go brisbane tonight.

    Didn't think that goal review that went against the cats was so clear. Hopeless camera angle.

    I would have thought it to be umpire's call at best.

    Agree,  it was pretty hard to get enthused by that match at all. 

    Happy though,  very rarely do I want Collingwood to win.

    But then I saw Eddie prancing around and felt ill.

    Yep he won a premiership in his 1st year after inheriting a great team. He didn't create it. Questions would need to be asked if they go out in straight sets after finishing top.

    Empty seats at a final in Sydney. 

    Get this joke of a team out of the AFL. 

    very disappointing considering their phantom membership of 30,000

    The stadium only holds 24,000 according to Wikipedia

    • 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.
