The Aints know what is on the line. They won’t lose with Ratts in charge

Why should we get 3 chances??

    A gift for St Kilda with half the Eagles side out.

    I was going to say why cant we ever have this luck, but we would lose this game anyway.

    No excuses or whinging. We’re our own worst enemy. We’ve had a dream run with injury this year, nearly the least games lost to injury of any club. Credit to the fitness staff.

    We’ve also had some very favorable runs with the umpires in matches this year too.

    Just two weeks ago we lost to 2nd last Sydney who were missing Buddy, Rampe, Heeney, Mills off the top of my head.

    We have a history of losing to extremely weak opposition. I’ll never forget when we lost to an Essendon replacement team.

    Looking at the Saints, we sure dont look like we deserve to be there.   Gonna need to be a revolution in our game style for us to even make it, let alone trouble anyone.

    Saints suck, they will fall into the 8 and do nothing.

    And we double suck in comparison, but I don’t disagree.....

    What this shows is that us and the Saints are probably actually in a very similar position (reflected by us both fighting out for the bottom 8th spots and our tight contest the other week). We both have it in from of us as opportunities to make the finals. 

    Basically neither team really deserves it, both should be making up the numbers in the finals no matter who gets through.

    this

    the top 5 look like premiership contenders, but both the bears and meth coke are currently beset by serious injury (gov did him hammy for the latter tonight), while all the teams 6-13 are pretenders, freo and sydney are rebuilding and capable but not consistent, while the bottom three of crows, kangas, and hawks are pretty ordinary

    too many teams, too many ordinary footballers

    It is so frustrating watching a hack side like St Kilda and knowing they sit sixth.

    Sixth!

    A competition full of plodder sides and we still can’t make the 8. Shameful stuff.

    I thought Ryan had hit his ceiling in 2018 - he just keeps getting better and better.  Great player.

    Did anyone know that Duggan is from Bacchus Marsh and was coached by Dougie Hawkins???

    Who would have guessed.

    I suspect partly talent but mostly well directed, skilled and drilled in a very basic but effective game style SW.

    Did you hear the pre-game interview with Rattan?  His assessment of Meth's strengths and weaknesses as well as the approach to the changing conditions etc.  No wonder they are doing very well this season.  Oozs confidence but also hints of a guy who assesses & analyses in depth and it plays out on the field.

    I'm not saying they are world beaters but they're in very good hands.

    And how smart was that little double tap kick off the ground by Butler a little while ago for the goal off the ground!  Our blokes would be either attempting to pick it up in slippery conditions or jump on it and probably get pinged for HTB.  Outside of natural talent that shines through on occasions, we are a terribly coached/drilled/skilled team in general.  Awful to watch.

    Even the coaching genius of Ratten couldn’t get the Saints over the line ?

    • 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.
