And to make matters worse, when we do get the ball inside 50, it’s bouncing straight back out. We are defending poorly all over the ground. 
Brisbane, as I said, are a much better side than the Dogs. Strong across every line. Our forwardline is average at best and our midfield while good on paper, can get blown apart in clearances. We need to fix these issues before finals, or it won’t be a long campaign. 

Yep they are likely Grand Finalists no doubt

We have no midfield depth so when clarry and trac are being held there's no one else to pick up the load. Harmes is our 3rd best mid and he was playing vfl 2 weeks ago. Not a dig at sparrow or Jordon as they're young but we need to sort this out

Only two ways this'll go:

- Lions start converting, we get smoked because it's flattering that we're only 20 points down.

- We work out we are being smoked and the boys lift and stop letting the Lions play this on their terms. Mids need to run harder, defence gotta communicate better. We need to lock that ball in our f50 and stop them waltzing the ball in their f50.

Got to stop being bullied. We look soft.

Yea as excited as I have been this season...its shades of dees past

 

Bruise free footy im sad to say.

Why cant weid or Tmac qt least crash a pack?

Cos as skilled as we are at times we lack the necessary physicality.

Lions dont.

    I swear if Melksham doesn’t start getting involved I will lose my mind. He is so soft, so loose, so uninvolved. I’m so over him.

    Our defence gets interceptions because of fwd mid pressure which isn’t there tonight 

    fix that

    Yep need to start crashing packs. Making it to easy for them and they're killing us when the ball hits the ground

     

    Without Viney we really lack that brutality in the middle.

    We need to change things up completely and I’d even try Jackson as a ruck rover to Gawn taking the ball high.

    Brisbane totally out playing us, their pressure and the perceived pressure are making us make bad decisions. Our work rate is not at the level it needs to be to compete against the best sides. I haven’t felt like we have controlled any period of this game and are lucky to be as close as we are. We need to lift big time if we are to win or even stay close.

    Mclachlan interviewing kids is more cringeworthy than Roaming BT

     Can be a little creepy I reckon

    Would be a good idea for some to play in front of their opponent

    Immensely looking forward to this half...

    What have we got?

    Looking ahead or to the now? 


    can they start paying Daniher pushing Jackson in the back over and over. Oliver lift!

    Fritsch with two goals and pressuring well with limited opportunities is doing fine. 
    Petty has been ok. 
    agree with the rest 

    2 goals to fritsch

     

    Get your hand off it. 1 was gifted to him in the goal square

    He's been useless. Watch the game

    He is Sheeeit is that what ur saying??

    I don't mind losing, but the Lions are not this far ahead of us. I at least want to boys to put that half behind them and make them earn it. Good sides don't get smoked. 

    We're being tested.

    We CAN do this. 

    Half the team have barely sighted the ball, they should be fresh as to run them off their feet.

    We were all very right to get excited by Kozzie - and still are - but in the last few matches a little reality has started to kick in. He’s a kid who’s still finding his way (and boy, won’t he). But I’ve noticed I don’t get the same rush of anticipation when he gets near the ball. Just hoping he does something good with it.

    • 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.
