Winner of Freo/Suns and they play soon.

Would think it is Freo.

Here's hoping for a Suns upset!

My guess is North Melbourne who we beat by 2 points in Round 1 coming from behind.

No it is Freo or GC. I must say I am so proud of the girls who showed guts to come back the way they did.

It's definitely the winner of the Freo v Suns match

Wow!  I think I just witnessed a resurrection? 


Newman's pressure and tackling were excellent in that last quarter. A lot of kudos for the comeback should be awarded to her.

'True Boot' Lill was great all day.  Grit, courage and a never say die attitude .......  oh, and a celebration to bring a tear to an old fart's eye.

That was a great game to watch. Nice comeback by the girls. Lily was so composed to kick the sealer. Not a bad effort considering she hadn't kicked a goal before. Finished off with 2. Now to the prelim

 

Great example of never give in.

There’s a nice little clip of the boys watching the last seconds of the game. Having trouble posting it, it’s definitely worth a look if you haven’t seen it.


Looks like we are playing Freo

Finally finished watching the game.  GWS played much better for the majority of the game, really hunted the ball.  But a great last quarter of attacking footy got us the win.  Pearce said after the game they were swathing between two types of play, defensive and offensive and never settled on one until the last quarter.  Hopefully they sort that out for next week in their mind and team strategy. 

Watched the whole game. They controlled the game for 3 quarters until we just came alive in the last. 

Nothing but a brilliant and gallant effort by the girls! Mithen and Tex Perkins kicked crucial clutch goals.

The roar from the girls when Mithen kicked that goal in the last was simply amazing to hear! Well done girls!!

Oh, and Nigel Carmody is a bloody good commentator! He [censored] all over the likes of Basil and Hamish.

Really great gutsy win. Insightful comment by Daisy post match when she said they couldn’t make up their minds about being offensive or defensive until the last quarter when they had no choice. A lesson learnt hopefully. I think that could be ssid about much of the season.Hopefully it will be all out attack in the semi. By the way isn’t Harriet Cordner a smart footballer. Does some really clever things when it comes to the crunch...


so we play freo over here

I'll give it a go because it's a great example of our "one club" spirit. This kind of thing is so important to a strong culture and we all need to support each other, especially at the moment.

Also we must identify the player who said "she won't make the distance" so Lily can tell them what for! Just kidding, it was a tough kick and I'm sure few were confident!

 

As for the game, well, wow. We didn't give the greatest account of ourselves in the first three and a half quarters, looking very disjointed up forward and loose in defense (Missing Lampard and Downie, plus the speed of the Irish).

But what we did have is the one thing this team has had in spades since day 1. They never give up. It doesn't always come off, often they leave it too late or shoot themselves in the foot with conversion. But they just keep going. That's what I want above all else in a footy team so even if we got lucky, I was very proud.

Perko - let's keep her, Daisy - immense, Scott's marking and second efforts kept us in it. O'Dea (Junior) was just willing us over the line and you could see on the bench after Lily's goal that she knew it wasn't over yet - focused. Newman worked hard and played selflessly. Heath and L.Pearce did well to last the distance on their return and were important. Obligatory mention of Paxman, of course. Hore found ways to get involved despite being well held at times. Cordner made some mistakes but also had some important touches.

Special mention to Sherriff who's quietly gone about a great debut season- I've wanted to mention her every week but keeps slipping from mind!

My favourite part of the game review? Injuries: Nil.

Shout out to (just some!) of the injured at home and to McEvoy and Goldie who were probably stuck in an airport somewhere on the way home to Ireland.

 

Petrevski, a debut to remember. Hopefully her cousin can celebrate similarly tomorrow!

 

Next week? Let's just get through tomorrow. And then Monday. It's a long time away.

That’s truly excellent. Love the one club mentality and the old ‘bleeds red and blue’ cliche sits well with James Harmes.

When and where are we playing next week?

Versus Freo prob next Sat at Freo. 

Perkins virtually won the game for the Demons.  When we were still 2 goals down, she was the one rucking and burrowing in and tackling to keep the ball in the forward line, while unfortunately, others stood around and watched. 

Birch was the saviour in the backline, and I really fear what a high scoring side like Freo will do to us, with McEvoy and Goldrick not around to help her out.  There were a couple of GWS goals that simply would not have happened should Goldrick in particular have been playing.

  • 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.
