What is that missing piece??

Love for one another, and an understanding that it doesn't "just happen." Also, their backline sucks.

    I think the “just happen factor” is real, but I thought Ratts would have been ready for that. 
    Big Problems over there

    They have been rubbish since we ruined their 2nd Quarter

    St Kilda play unsustainable football. Last year and this, they rely too heavily on flaky players and goals out the back. Have topped up with B-graders from other clubs who looked OK last year but haven't been able to gel together.

    They are 17th for both points for and points against, and remarkably 18th for quarters won, having only won five quarters for the entire season (i.e. 5 out of 24).

    Can anyone see any of the following teams turning things around to play finals?     Because if they cant its already a race between 9 to make the 8 ....  10 if you count the Crows who are a long shot despite being 3-3.

    Gold Coast, Essendon and Carlton all play football, at times, that is good enough. Essendon's already had three of its six interstate trips, so they barely leave Victoria for the rest of the season.

    GWS is actually in form, pushing us, winning twice, then pushing the Dogs.

    Collingwood's best is good but they've got too many injuries. Hard to see them coming back from 1-5.

    Sydney are a question mark IMO. They don't defend well and are too reliant on kids who are already showing signs of fatigue. They do, however, have an incredibly good list of double-up games: GWS, Gold Coast, Essendon, St Kilda and Fremantle.

    Meanwhile 10 of our last 16 games are against current bottom 10. One of those is West Coast in Perth, but the rest are two against Adelaide, return games against GWS and Hawthorn, and games against Gold Coast, Essendon, Carlton, Collingwood and North.

    Then there's Sydney at the G, and then five massive tests: the Dogs twice, Port in Adelaide, Brisbane in Alice Springs and Geelong in Geelong.

    Banking these first six wins is so important as it helps us buffer for losses in that group of tough games to come.

    Yeah just looked at the fixture for the next fortnight and a couple of those 2-4 teams will be 4-4 at the end of round 8, so plenty of water to go under the bridge.

    Just hope the 8 isnt too settled too early, makes for a boring season ( even though they mighty Dees are cruising).

    I can see Essendon going on a wild run that sneaks them into the 8.

    Our post-bye fixture really is tough, too.

    After Essendon and GWS at the G, we have Port (away), Hawthorn, Gold Coast (away), the Dogs, West Coast (away), Adelaide and Geelong (in Geelong).

    That is a brutal stretch.

    Again, so important to bank these early season wins and so important to keep it up with this upcoming North-Sydney-Carlton-Adelaide stretch.

    If Geelong can beat WC by 96pts...are they really a threat anymore? I think they WC, are on the slide. By the time we play them we will be expected to win if we are not already. Having said that the Perth trip and the subsequent travel home is never easy.

    I see Doggies and Port as our biggest challenges to date with one or two more to pop up out of nowhere and then theres that game every top side seems to inexplicably drop. Im expecting a top 4 finish now as i think most people are. I think a lot of teams are still feeling the effects of last year and havent progressed. Somehow we seem to have.

    Shuey, Ryan, Yeo, Hurn, Kennedy didn’t play and McGovern got injured mid-game. 

    Some of them won’t be back for a while but I wouldn’t write them off just yet.

    Correct and add to that the fact that their fans were not allowed to enter the ground which was rather incredible.

    They certainly are no easybeats and wont be taken lightly...but i still think we can beat up on them. Guess well find out soon enough.

    • 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.
