Umpires’ goal for a fifty metre penalty that wasn’t there then a “mark” that bounced off the ground to Kennedy. What a joke win!!!

    Not a bad weekend of football. Even the rubbish games at least went to the wire. Gee Damien Hardwick is insufferable.

    West Coast are unfit. Watch Nic Nat blow up at some point in the second half. Richmond will run over the top of them and win by a few goals

    Or the other way around...

    Clearly one of the games of the year, and the earlier North V GWS game was pretty damn good as well. An excellent day’s footy.

    If West Coast are to finish top 4 and go on to make a GF, I reckon they’ll look back at the Carlton win last week more so than tonight. They were not really supposed to beat Carlton with all their outs and then be on the verge of missing finals. Sure enough they won the game and now they find themselves in the top 4 mix.

    They’re a dangerous side with Kelly, Shuey and McGovern to return.

    Richmond only have to play 2 other top 8 sides for the rest of the season. So good result. How did last years premiers get such an easy run home?

    BT calling the Tigers across the line and talking up their second halves of seasons......

    They are getting awfully close to that 9th spot

    Clutch from West Coast, but "the Tigers of old..." what a crumble. Yeo is a superstar. Did he win the last 10 clearances? Insane last quarter.

    Just keep in mind they've flown across the Nullabour 4 times in 7-8 days,  you could see they were spent in the last 10 mins. Still a massive threat with several stars to return.

    Good game but a little bit open style of play. The cokers are a different set of numbers at home.

    Talking on the radio about how hard it is to win the premiership from outside the top 8. They said it’s only been done twice. Bulldogs and Adelaide in 98. Woewodin cut them straight off “no, that doesn’t count! In the current system they would have been out in the first week” ?

    To be fair, 2 of the bottom 8 sides they are playing in their next 9 games were finals teams from last year. When the draws were created it would have been  4 of 9 games against top 8 sides

    That was the better result for us. The more losses Richmond cop, the better. They have the easier run home compared to West Coast so it's better they stay a notch down.

    COVID aside, 6 of their last 9 games are at the MCG and the three road trips are GC, Fremantle and GWS.

    stop worrying about Richmond

    unless Dusty has a blinder they are 50/50 against the top ten teams

    Brisbane are on the way up and if you want to win this year is it

    Well they've now played all other top 8 sides for a 1-6 record. They haven't played 9th (Fremantle) and fell over the line against 10th (GWS).

    So they're 2-6 against the top 10.

    Their other wins? 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th, 17th.

    It's not about the run home, it's about the double-up matches.

    Richmond's five double-up matches are St Kilda, Brisbane, Geelong, GWS and Hawthorn.

    So that's a 2020 GF runner up, prelim finalist and semi finalist, alongside a side many expected to bounce back (GWS) and Hawthorn.

    Lucky for them St Kilda fell to pieces and GWS remained mediocre.

    So yes, they only have two other top 8 sides left for the year, but they've played all 7 of us already. Compare that with West Coast or Sydney, who've only had 4 games against top 8 sides so far this year.

    Eagles definitely lacking in the last 40 seconds defensive drills.

    I suppose they had the two guys back on the goal line but once it was in the Eagle's forward line it should have remained in their half.

    That one still gives me the sheets.
    All the Hoo Ha about how they won it from 8th or whatever.
    Got lucky.
    They shoulda been out.

    Not impossible. Carltank had the chance to do it in 2013!

    • 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.
