Tomlinson. Wow. He disappeared for most of the night. 6 kicks. 

Did the job on Hogan though.

    Hogan had a shocker. He fumbled about 7-8 marks and slipped over many times and gave away the ill disciplined 50 penalty.  Not great conditions but others did mark the footy ok. Hogan only had one good moment in the last minute.  Tomlinson was not terrible but had no influence or sight on the game.

    Having watched the game at length now, I'm happy to go with:

    6 Rivers - yes he's a kid but he really tried to take us forward all night. If only he converted his two shots. 

    5 Gawn - Yes he was involved in two of their goals but still a massive presence which we all tend to underrate.

    4 Viney - our hardest worker, but like his midfield colleagues missed targets so his intensity, not his influence, gets him these votes.

    3 Fritsch - our cleanest marker on the night and hit more targets than others.

    2 May - how many did Taberner kick? Our three talls down back kept their three forwards goalless.  May did more offense work than Lever and Tommo, hence his votes.

    1 Petracca - brilliant third term but unlike his hot spell mid-season, struggled to be clean with his disposal in the conditions.

    6. Gawn - again comprehensively beat his opponents, some big marks on a terrible night for marking.

    5. Viney - an excellent effort, with some effectiveness.

    4. Rivers - a steady and sometimes brilliant game. A big future for this lad.

    3. Fritsch - wish he went a bit harder but he is a genuine talent.

    2. May - although not up to his recent high standards he did his job and kept the Freo key forwards quiet.

    1. Petracca - toiled hard and kept himself in the game.

    I have re watched the game and Gawn made a couple of bad blues but he is held up to such a high standard.  If any other ruck in the league played that game in those conditions they'd be lauded.  Against a couple of decent opponents too. Very impressed with Rivers.  I think he beats out Jackson and Pickett as our best first year player.

    • 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.
