    If Essendon beats West Coast, things will get bad for two reasons:

    1. Essendon will be challenging for finals
    2. Essendon supporters will come even further out of the woodwork

    Away from Perth, no Kennedy, no Cripps...who knows.

    If Dons win they'll be fan-declared flag favourites.

    If Melbourne, West Coast and Carlton win it will be very hard to see us missing finals.   Dangerous words I know.

    I hope Adelaide break their losing streak with a thrashing of Hawthorn. Those superior Hawthorn supporters can suck on that loss for a bit

    Al Clarkson said this: “our focus isn’t on the urgency of a win or loss....at the moment, winning is valuable for us but it’s not absolutely critical.” So winning isn’t their priority  

    This is less about Clarkson but more about how in the past the AFL created a system that rewarded “experimenting” with players in different position and other clubs exploited it but we were the only ones to be punished. 

    Tell me if we see Frost playing forward this week will that be scrutinised or will the media just say “oh Clarko is a genius coach and was trying something different”.

    Remind me again why we got fined $500,000?

    Given we’ve got the Hawks second round pick... I say play on Clarko pop Scully in the ruck... Frosty to Full Forward. You are a genius.

    Interestingly, Frosty is out, managed.  Hawks have beefed up their defenders and running players.

    Out:  Jonathon Patton (Injured), Liam Shiels (Managed), Michael Hartley (Omitted), Sam Frost (Managed), Will Day (Managed)

    In:  Ben Stratton, James Frawley, Jarman Impey, Mitch Lewis, Shaun Burgoyne

    Solid and quality albeit some aging 'ins'.  Altho Day is a loss.

    I think Clarkson is saying:  'no way is Adelaide winning their only game for the year on my watch!'  That sort of ignominy would be a bridge too far for Clarkson.

    I think they'll win.

    Crows have a good lead over Hawks.  Should be further ahead.  Lots of points and missed a few easy shots completely.

  • Quote

    In tonight's game can't see the Bombers beating Eagles even without Kennedy.

    That will slam the door shut on any hope Ess have of making finals.

    Jesse Hogan back against Richmond, I wouldn’t be expecting much from him but it’ll be interesting to see how he goes.

    Not a good game but have seen worse. Adelaide should win. Both these sides will be down near the bottom next year. 

    Live with it Hawthorn and you may lose some of that arrogance. We know what it is like to be a poor side and it sucks. Just glad we are better than those 2 at the momment.

    Hawks tanking? They have form once they are out of contention. I might put a call into Adrian Anderson and give Caro a heads up.

    Only 22 points up going into the last quarter.  I'd be nervous as a Crows fan as the Hawks are well within striking distance.

    Wouldn't bet on it just yet, Crouch missed that set shot and then the Hawks squeezed that late goal (it was almost scripted). I haven't watched the entire match but the crows have very clearly been the better team from what I have seen, they've had some pretty stock standard opportunities that they've missed. Crouch's ball drop was absolutely awful, never looked like it.

    • 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.
