Soft! Over 400km for me to the G and back. I don't miss a match! (on the TV)  I still pay my membership donation every year.

Soft, indeed! I drive from Adelaide (from the southern coast 40 kms southwest of the city) to Melbourne for many games during the season, a round-trip of about 22 hours, at least, with the handbrake providing particular instructions on the route, the speed, the distances to go, the meal breaks, the traffic flow and the price of fuel - every five minutes for the entire journey. . How's that for being an avid Dees fan?

    Definite signs of insanity. Must be a long trip home some weeks!

    Sounds like a disappointing effort from Hunt.

    Must say I have never seen him play well at VFL level. Always thought it was the lack of pace in the game gave him no room.

    He's  quick. That's about it.

    It's either half back or bust for me.

    I don't rate him Dazzle, poor disposal, poor decision maker and whilst he has speed he makes decisions the same way., without considering all options 

    IMO he's depth

    Yep, agree with what you just said. He's lost his mojo and needs to get it back asap.

    Last time we played a VFL side against the Bombers was round 2 in 2013 and we got spanked by 148 points. 

    We’re improving.

    Any Essendrug  Teeth ? left in the Turf

    What was the point of that game if they turn up with 2 sides?

    Yes it is a Hit out, but playing young fatigued players against a fresh side after Half Time is a risky card to play. 
     

    i Hate Essendrug 

    (First time i have written that n 2020)

    It's a good question. The conclusion I have come to is that Burgess or Goodwin wanted every uninjured player on the list to have some real match play this weekend so they are all doing same type and level of work.

    Thanks (not) for that reminder Steve. I was there that day and had finally ( through alcohol therapy) repressed the memory.

    I presume the squad for this game will be released tonight?

    Isn’t it the Collingwood  team that gets day release to allow them to play?

    Wasn’t that the year that the Bummers were on “the good stuff” from Dank?

    • 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.
