That goal to Ellis was a disgrace of umpiring. It wasn't a push in the back (Ellis diving), it wasn't a high tackle on Rankine either.

Still, main issues are ours, not umpiring. Still too many inside 50s which don't go to our advantage and too much time spent in forward half without scoring.

    We are supremely frustrating to watch, yet we're in front.  I have no idea how that works or why it has happened.

    We will need to kick at least 3-4 goals to win this with the way GC are kicking them from everywhere.

    I’m obviously missing something. How is is that Melksham gets a game?

    I don't think I have watched more goals pulled from a rear end than I have tonight.

    Umps super soft there.

    Agree. Suns have 4 goals from no look snaps 

    umps gifting it

    plus Trac is playing dumb. Never goes back and settles to get the right kick. FFS WILL THE COACH TELL HIM.

    Melksham is taking the [censored] with his lack of forward pressure. 
    Our ball use is just so bad. It’s really hard to watch.

    I'm calling it now - some sort of ridiculous mistake, umpiring decision etc. will decide this game for one side.

    Umpires having too big an influence now. Well bloodywell give it our way.

    Most of the bad decisions have been non-decisions which there is no stat for. 

    I more mean that they will pull one out in the last minute which will result in the winning score and either have us really angry or just a little bit angry.

    the minute weideman stops running under the footy will be the minute he starts taking more marks.

    A few times i felt he has been nudged under it a touch perhaps?

    Melksham's head taken off. 

    Head taken off, then legged in the same contest - nothing.

    Meanwhile Langdon tackles Rankine cleanly and the umpire calls high contacts.

    I thought the push in the back was there, but high contact against Rankine was rubbish.

    Maybe, but it seems like a very light touch launches him forward like Lockett smashed him in the back

    Even with the dodgy umpiring we should win

    They'll make sure we don't

    Honest to God, our ability to self-destruct attacking opportunities is like nothing I’ve ever EVER seen, often hilarious and sometimes spectacular. If it weren’t so hair-pullingly frustrating, it would be hilarious. Neutral supporters must have a whale of a time watching us [censored] it up so reliably.

    It's an even money game and to be honest it was always going to be. Massive last quarter. Keep on top in contested ball

    Great game but. I thought we've been quite good.

    Get the hell out of here Stigga, no need for that kind of optimism around these parts.

    • 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.
