He's really got the yips. He's Ian Baker-Fritsch.

Every year, I end up with post-of-the-year. I now have it. This is pure gold. For me and my household, this nickname will now stick (unless he fixes his goal kicking).

    I wouldn't be getting too excited just yet.

    We should be far more than 28 points up. They are absolutely atrocious. But they are a confidence team and despite their defensive pressure being terrible they're still generating inside 50s and getting some looks. If they get an early goal or two, or worse, if Daniher gets his hands on the ball, we know we can concede goals.

    Fritsch's goal kicking is getting worse.

    Gawn, Oliver, Petracca, Langdon, Salem and ANB all playing really well.

    If this is our last game, Hunt, Brown and ANB are giving the club something to think about.

    our third quarters are statistically our worst

    Sam Weideman handballing to Jayden Hunt for the certain goal is one of the best things I've seen in recent weeks. Weed hasn't kicked a goal in a long time and didn't need to give it. Much respect. 

    It was a selfless percentage play for sure - a tougher kick on the run on his right foot at that angle vs Hunt in perfect location - my heart was in my mouth from Weid's heavily weighted handpass but can't complain about the result!

    And probably their best

    Needs to talk to a psychologist, he is obviously pressuring/stressing, himself into poor kicking. It is a confidence issue.

    Really needs to fix this.

    For his size, he does very well in marking contests.

    Joe Daniher 0/0/0/0/0

    His value taking a huge hit.

    And Sydney breathes a sigh of relief

    How good was Oliver's second quarter? Sure, the Essendon midfield is laughable, but he is close to unstoppable when he takes the game on. Still my favourite player. Sorry Trac. ?

    How many first round picks can we give them for him? Too soon?

     Well probably give it to Collingwood for another of their potatoes.

    The Nibbler is nibbling  sign him up for another 2 years.     That will make his critics SMILE !

    Watch Daniher end up at the Giants. Cameron to Carlton.

    Need to be professional in the 3rd to kill any hope for the Bombers. They are in horrible form but can pile on a few quick.


    Midfield is dominant but Salem is in the top 3 on the ground.

    Terrible option Weideman, the exact opposite of what we need going inside 50.

    Basic mistakes again and again.

    Dons putting zero pressure on our mids. They are a rabble. Woosha's legacy tarnished. 

    Reckon there will be a conga line waiting to leave. 

    Welcome to Melbourne, Adam Saad!

    He got to close to man on mark so had to kick under it. Didn’t look good kicking to 2:1 with one being spargo

    That blonde umpire is probably one of the worst I have ever seen. No understanding of how a game plays out, no sense of occasion, just completely clueless. We’ve had more of our share of him this year.

    • 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.
