I feel like I’ve been to a wake yet we won by five goals. Whether that’s a good thing or not I haven’t yet worked out. ??‍♂️

    I reckon a lot of us are almost willing that first loss for the season to happen. To get it outta the way. It’s a human thing. 

    The week after the grand final will suit me just fine

    A 30 point win in Round 1 will give a much higher % than a 30 point win in Round 22....

    Swyl a 3 point win in round 1 can give a better percentage than a 30 point win. Total for v total against.

    Yes i am aware of that. But the more games played, the higher the differential must be to keep a high %

    With hindsight even though this was top v bottom...North had a lot to play for.

    Gunning for tgeir first win.

    Their first game at their home away from home.

    Ben b against his old side.

    Our record at this ground.

    We were probably too relaxed.

    No, if you maintain the same winning ratio the percentage is the same. One game 100 or 1000 the number of games is irrelevant.

    Not necessarily, SWYL.  For example, if we go into round 20 with a percentage of 150 and win 60 points to 40, our percentage would remain at 150%.

    % is points for and Points against

    it isn’t the amount of games won.

    It seemed like the umpires were instructed to call no 15 and play on at every opportunity to keep the game moving.

    An effort to justify the call in the Swans/Geelong game last night?

    Can someone explain why we went down in percentage on the ladder??

    Yes, our for and against in today’s scores in percentage terms was less than our current percentage of 150, hence the adjustment 

  • Quote

    The game makes heaps more sense and then becomes a bit funnier if you imagine Brayshaw had a few cones in advance. Also ducked down to the changerooms for top-up in the last quarter. He and Jones managed to [censored] up just about every forward thrust they were involved in by being super-[censored] non-Matrix. Add ANB and Tomald in that. If Kozzie is near the ball, please just [censored] off.

    Why do I feel so flat?

    Lots of uncertainty about our backline all of a sudden, and Brown didn't fit all that well into our forward line if I'm honest.

    Cause we play crap in the first half. Looked like Melb of old. 
     

    Give BB more time chooks it was his first game. It will click.

    Get Baker out and bring in Sparrow 

    I wouldn't mind seeing Bedford in too 

    Bedford in for Melksham as well.

    Feel for Tomlinson. Quite worried for Viney too. I wonder if his game time might have to be managed for the rest of this season.

    open a spreadsheet and start running the numbers SWYL. As long as the margin is a consistent 150% points scored for or against doesn't matter.

    First half massive concern...that our players can still come to a game with that level of intensity is baffling. Thought we'd learned and were past it. Our intensity was so bad that not only were we walking around the stoppages but North were almost walking out of them.

    Some guys had absolute shockers. Was Brayshaw trying to get tackled by executing as slowly as he possibly could when he had the ball today?

    Read first, comprehend second, consider third and respond last. I understand percentage, I think you may be confused, perhaps go to step one and start again.

    I said 1 game 100 or 1000 doesn't matter

    • 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.
