So we now move to Friday night for the next instalment of a slow and agonising death........

Nope. Even if gws win I doubt we will make up the percentage. Sunday is our best hope but we still need to manage to beat the dons, these are the exact games we lose

Agree. Holman was a tool. 3 metres out !!! 

A golden rule for all AFL PLayers.

NEVER play on from a mark in the goal-square.

Think...Riewoldt and Shaw in the Grand Final.  Changed the game, much like Holman tonight.

It’s only about 50 points to make it up, assuming GWS did win by 3 goals, just means we have to beat bombers by 5, not out of the question if you know what is needed going in.

Just to add this is basically the reverse of what happened in 2017

"Only 50 points"'; wow, you make it sound so easy

The line is currently St Kilda 5.5 and Melbourne 12.5  which would mean a +7 point make up. It would honestly be a miracle if this happened. It should be a wake up call for those games against Hawthorn and Collingwood where we casually wasted time kicking the ball around the back line in the last 5 mins when we had all the momentum. Percentage is the most important its ever been this year.

Gut is telling me the Giants are our best bet. Saints might get a little nervy Friday night, the biggest game for them in probably 6-7 years. 

The last 7 meetings between them read 5-1-1 Giants way with an average winning margin of 32 in those 5 wins. A 32 point Giants win on Friday will almost guarantee a sleepless night for most ‘landers.

Don't write off the Dockers, Dogs believing their own hype as the team no one wants to play in the finals.

Sunday Night in Cairns ball like a cake of soap, Hogan and Co up and about.

yep. Freo played the Cairns game perfectly against us. Hopefully they do the same to the dogs who thrive on outside run and good disposal

We beat Hawthorn by 43 and Collingwood by 56.

Those aren't the issues when it comes to our percentage.

I'd instead be looking at losing to Sydney by 21, Fremantle by 14, or Port Adelaide by 51. Even giving half a yelp in any of those games would have reduced the margins and stopped the bleeding of our percentage.

Zak Jones will miss Friday night’s clash with the Giants with a hamstring injury.

The St Kilda midfielder reported soreness following the Round 17 clash against the West Coast Eagles, with subsequent scans revealing a minor strain.

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
