Memo to players .... don't cough up goals in the first and/or last minute of quarters.

Memo to mids....dont get jumped again.

    My message to the team would be run, run, run.

    That swarm has beaten others, and we do it all over the field.

    We aren't doing stupid things when we have the ball, so don't start today. Do the basics well and take your opportunities.

    Hoping for a stylish high skilled game with a lot of effort and 1 percenters.

    I still want them to be angry and not to ease up on a middle of the table team.

    Need our accuracy and centre clearances to improve.

    We must have confidence, which helps in game planning and  the ability to implement the things they work on during the week, plus having a smile at their workplace, I expect continued improvement.

    Agree about getting jumped early and coughing up junk time goals.  Don't allow it.

    Go Dees

    Addit:

                Who is the med sub?  Melky's the sub. Great to have experience around the players and if called on.

                How is the weather?

    We're playing one of the only sides comparable to us for poor starts: both us and them have only won 3 of 8 first quarters this year (North, Fremantle, Adelaide and St Kilda are the only other sides in the competition less than 4).

    They're 6 of 8 in third quarters, but only 4 of 8 in fourth quarters (we're 7 of 8 and the only loss was last week to Sydney by a point).

    Is anyone behind the goals at the Punt road end singing "Youll Never Walk Alone?"

    A W in the W/L column is all that's required 

    I reckon we'll have that covered halfway through the 2nd quarter, and really turn it on. A 10 goal win is there for the taking.

    Also, since sacking Brendan Bolton in mid-2019, Carlton have lost 20 games. But of those 20 losses, only two have been by more than 5 goals (a 68 point loss to Geelong in the last round of 2019 and a 31 point loss to Hawthorn last year).

    So they don't always win, but under Teague they rarely get well beaten.

    Would love to see a big first quarter today. 
     

    We’ve only won the first quarter in three matches this year, and with the exception of Rd 1 against the Dockers, not by much at all.  
     

    Of the teams we’ve lost first quarters to are the Hawks and the Roos. 
     

    Our slow starts can’t become the norm.

    Gerard on 360 said that May needed the scalp of McKay today in order to be seen as sitting alongside Andrews, Moore and Weitering in the elite fullback club.

    Although that is garbage as he already sits comfortably alongside them, and it’s one game, if that’s what he and others need to allow him into the elite club then so be it.

    I’ll take a win and Maysie giving Harry a nice bath.

     

    Shallowly assumptive of the star qualities; just look at the points against for the team across the ladder. That will tell you who is most likely to be the most effective at fullback, holding the whole defence together and initiating plays into attack. May is already up there and simultaneously, ahead.

    We have to get off to a great start. The past few weeks the teams have jumped us by kicking the first few goals.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • 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.
