May be gaaaaaaaawn.

Took a flying swing at Nigel Lappin late in the third quarter against the Lions. Looked to me like a blatant attempted trip.

As it happens it looked like he hyper-extended his ankle in a similar way to Brock and went off in a bad way.

Ironic

Edit: Has come back on and looks alright.

    Attempted trip means jack squat. He'll play against us.

    No, actually there is a new rule this year that means attempted trips will be dealt with more harshly this year. And rightly so, its a disgusting part of the game. He may be in some trouble.

    Doubt it. Eyes only for the ball. A gentle open hand slap that was an accident he apologised for immediately. Head contact could make the AFL take notice, and it's probably a bit hairier than wreckers, but still shouldn't get rubbed out.

    Knowing our luck, they'll ping wrecker for his accident where he came off worse, and let the Pav off.

    How dare Ball try and injure another player by headbutting him...

    pretty simple plan with hawthorn...

    rough up buddy in the opening few minutes, before the bounce even, he'll drop his head everytime someone comes near him, play carroll on him, with rivers coming in from the side, wont get a go!!!

    mcg, day time, byron back in (watch davey have a pearler), rivers back in, maybe sylvia too

    Well I am glad I had the option of going to the Swans Eagles game then......

    That would have been great Demonstorm, what is he up to now (sorry if that is a totally ignorant question)?

    We went back to the Swans function after the game up here and they were pretty desolate, but honestly I don't think Brett Kirk could be any cooler if he tried.

    And I realised how that sounded but I have met him a few times now over the years and he is a genuinely great bloke.

    You should read his speech from the Guernsey presentation dinner - fantastic stuff - would be good for Demons as well

    Its just a pity they lost, but you always get your moneys worth :P !!!

    Hopefully Bell gets some time on Williams. Firstly, Williams isn't going great, Bell could use the confidence, and he played well on him in the NAB cup, for whatever that's worth.

    The last time we tried that tactic against Hawthorn we lost to them by 7 goals when they were bottom of the ladder at the time. (2005).

    We always come off second best when ever we try to rough the opposition up. We're just not a tough nasty team.

    I think there is every justification to test out Franklin's mettle. As a footballer his very silky and talented on the downhill stuff. He needs to physically challenged in the contest.

    Loads of ability but not convinced on his toughness of character and strength of application.

    • 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.
