Watched the Richmond game yesterday. They’re a pretty limited outfit. As long as we don’t get complacent we should beat them.

    It seems unlikely that Downie and Gay will rejoin the team this week, so we'll need to go with last week's side again.

    I haven't seen Richmond play, but this strikes me as the sort of game that we have historically struggled with. 

    Our forward line looked okay last week, but the defense looks undersized. I think we'll need to throw Scott back as reinforcement.

    Hopefully our midfield can dominate and we can keep the ball in our forward half much more than we did last week.

    Wish this game was at Punt road.

    I watched us play part of a casey v tiger's match prior to a dees game a few years back, but have never watched a full game or sat in the stand.

    Karen Paxman will (all going to plan) play her 30th game on the weekend.

    For context, this puts her among only 22 players prior to this round who have reached that figure, and the first to play all 30 at Melbourne. Libby Birch reached the milestone last week with her games combined between the Dogs and Dees.

    At the moment, given the shorter seasons, it's effectively what a 50 or even 100 game milestone would be in the men's, so something to celebrate. Especially given it's not guaranteed (although I wouldn't count her out) that she'll reach 50, as that will take another 2 or so seasons.

    So congrats to Paxy!

     

    For reference, other milestones of this nature that could be reached if the season reaches completion:

    Scott (currently on 28 games)

    Mithen (25)

    L.Pearce (23)

    D.Pearce (22)

    Cunningham (22)

    Hore (22)

    Just go down  there and imagine !

    FWIW I am not sure that the stand was used last week.

    Saw on TV in the back ground and it didn't look occupied !

    Binman looks like you will have to BUCKET LIST this wish  hoping the AFLW Dees play at Punt Rd in 2022.

    Or shall I say " BIN IT" !!!

    Just been watching 15 minutes of the dogs v blues game. 
    I hope you get better umpires than this lot. 
    we had better umpires in the F grade reserves of the VAFA !

    Still first to the ball usually gets the breaks. But not tonight. You deserve better.
    good luck against the tigers

    Go Dees

    No change for the side this week. I wonder what is wrong with Maddie Gay. Very good midfielder.

    Hope we don't do the usual and stuff up against a poor side. Handing the tigers their first win would be an embarassment to say the least.

    As long as we limit the supply into Frederick and Brennan we should be ok. Richmond don’t really have any weapons other than those two.

    Also would pay some attention to their 2020 number one pick Ellie McKenzie. She only got 12 touches on debut but went at 100% efficiency I believe.

    Agree Ellie McKenzie is going to be a good player but then Richmond will have to put some effort into our #15 pick, Eliza McNamara who got 18 touches on debut and was probably in the top half dozen players on the ground. I would not be surprised if she ends up our first 100 game player. 

    Go Dees!

    I have watch Casey there a couple of times in recent years. Good watching as crowd numbers were low.

    Umpires off to a flyer for Richmond. Terrible HTB decision and a 50 to gift them a goal.

    Umpiring is a disgrace.

    Joke umpiring for sure in that first half.

    Bit of unsteady play cost us, too.

    Feel like Goldrick was emblematic of our play that quarter - some great movement, good pressure, but there were fumbles that cost us good attacks or gave Richmond too much of a chance.

    Having said that, I feel like a few of our better players haven't been sighted a lot so far.

    Also... holding the ball or 'holding' calls... high tackle or pinged... yeah, awful umpiring that easily balanced the breeze.

    Start of 4th quarter will see Dees up by 23 points but with the Tiges kicking with the wind in the last.

    Daniel Bradshaw vs Demons from 2005 on;

    9, 8, 6, 4, 4.

    He was a good forward, for sure, but that's ridiculous for footy in the late 2000s.

    • 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.
