Yes definitely some talent there and some good players across the list.

If you ranked the top 50 players in the comp though would they have any listed? Not sure. 

Rihht now they’re looking at a top 4 ladder spot which is about 10 spots higher than where I would have had them in March.

    Well done Saints. Was hoping that Port would win to make it easier for us... 

    If anything, the Saints are showing us that Port are more than beatable.  They should have lost to Carlton the previous week as well.  They are very flaky at the moment.

    jack steele is the best run-with player in the competition at the moment, so i'd definitely have him and hill, plus probably billings, in the top 50 players in the game this year

    marshall not far off it either

    I’ve watched most of there games and have loved Steele this season. Hard as a cats scone and is a tackling machine.

    Hill tonight has been ok tonight but he’s been awful this year. Most supporters were calling for his head. 

    Anyways, I may underrate a few of them but the point I was poorly trying to make is that I’m impressed at how they’re performing as a team which I think is a direct relation to Ratten taking over

    Clearly The Hoff is saving his best for us next week. He’s been terrible the last fortnight.

    I'm glad he has had a stinker and there is no way he won't be dropped.

    He was initially dropped..

    Came in tonight after Trent McKenzie pulled out.

    Gritty gutsy win by the Saints.  Bit of class there also with Clarke, Hill & Butler running around.  King and Membury up front doing well.  Back 6 holding up also. They have a solid mix.

    Tackling's a little off at times and a few inexperienced fellas letting em down with disposal on occasions but aside from that not too shabby indeed.

    Yeah I know, but with his performance he will be going straight back out and we will be spared his traditional BOG performance.

    Good to see the saints win.

    We always struggle to beat them when they're pus. Will be a challenge to beat them this year. They're playing good footy.

    Port are definitely gettable.

    wait til 2021...

    a close game is a good game, been pretty happy with the footy this round so far

    Yeah sadly it feels like he will end up at Carlton which would make them very dangerous up forward.

    Might be just me but I am starting to enjoy the season and take more interest in it also. I am watching most games all the way through at the moment, where a few weeks ago was struggling to watch a half a game. Don’t get me wrong there is still some absolute rubbish games but there always is. I am also feeling the season while always going to have an asterisk next to it, it’s going to be more about how crap a year 2020 was rather than an unworthy Premier.

    Bloody hell I hope we keep winning.

    the best thing about shortened games is it's keeping the games interesting for 'longer' - even if that insane stat that brayshaw kept rabbiting on about tonight has it that only one team out of 67 games has come back from behind in to win - and that was kangas running over the top of the aints all the way back in round 1!

    FWIW I hope that the shortened matches continue after covid-19; if/whenever that is. More close matches/less blowouts.

    I don't like the Saints much, but glad for Ratten. He has endured a lot ... sacked as coach of the Blues/son dying. He was awesome as Demons' midfield coach.

    You think so? Three goals up with 10 minutes to play and 99% of games are over.

    It’s a damning statistic on the state of the game. Negativity has taken over.  Might as well give every team 95 points and only play out the last 5 minutes. At least it will guarantee a high scoring game.

    Can anyone help me decide - Essendon misery or Adelaide misery? 

    I guess Essendon misery has the practical side of keeping the ladder a little more open, while Adelaide misery is only relevant as a joy in itself.

    Crows to win. Essendon to spend the rest of the season just outside the 8. Or, to quote in anticipation "They were the best team to not make finals all year, weren't they BT?' and 'You've really got to think they'll be a serious contender next year, wouldn't you reckon Lingy?'

    etc.

    Essendon would have to be the worst top 5 side or even top 8 side I've ever seen.

    Adelaide are going to win 1 game for the year. I just wish it was that.

    • 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.
