If we win from here we are the real deal   but worried

 

We wont win this and our excellent start has just gone down the toilet. So too has us doing any good in Sept. Premiership aspirants DONT Lose games to Adelaide,Collingwood and now Gws! Players drinking their iwn bathwater and Goodwin failing to select BB was disaster waiting to happen

    Difficult to see on TV but The expert comments are saying we are playing a 7 man defence giving GWS an extra around the ball when it’s being contested. We are getting belted around stoppages and thru the middle. Time to get numbers back in the middle I think. Is it Jordan playing back to make up the 7?

    Don't care if Weed or Brown don't get a touch. Need a contest. GWS are marking everything uncontested in our forward 50.

    No point Tom Macdonald marking on the wing then kicking long to Spargo & Pickett.

    Viney isnt an asset at stoppages. He is again blocking the outlet as he is 2nd to the drop.

    This is simple.

    Outnumbered at the contest but we have an extra in defence. 

    Oliver, Petracca, Viney, Harmes, can't win a clearance so forwards are getting nothing.

    GWS have also taken the Melbourne wingers out of play.

    How many more year of Viney do we have to watch lol 

    Yes he's heart and soul - but he's just not a good player I'm sorry 

    Game is going past him at an alarming rate

    Agree. 16 rounds in and they can’t work out we go sideways when their is no key forward and then make a disposal error to turn it over.

    How are our speedy small forwards looking, when the ball isn’t delivered properly, or kicked to a big forward who can bring it to ground?

    Maybe a loss will force Goodys hand and bring in one of the browns.

    We had sam w in for five games...dropped him without like for like.

    Sick of our backline having to do all the work.

    And if bbs fitness is in question then so should  vineys.

    Edited by leave it to deever

     

    They are going in way harder and are using it better. If we don’t lift our pressure we will lose heavily.

    Hibbo: 1 disposal

    Toby Green: 3 goals

    Time for a rethink.

    Toby Green: four kicks. Yes, he has converted well, but  Hibbo is doing a great job

    They clearly want a tall in the goal square because they’re playing Gawn and Jackson in the square. But neither are forwards.

    BLITHLY OBLIVIOUS GOODWIN NO IDEA 

    Selection committee blocking out fugazi, aka common sense with Brown's non-selection. Too much self serving tripe at press conferences not to mention the Gawn/ Bradshaw podcast rubbish.

    2nd qtr

    ❌ getting smashed at the clearances 12-18 and losing contested footy 30-39 

    ❌giants switched on. Pressure acts  

    ❌ who’s on kelly. Ffs he’s killing us

    ❌ oliver Viney brayshaw are having zero influence 

    ❌ a goalkicking tall forward !!! Give me Ben Brown now 

    ✅ gawn salem May lever 

    ✅ Anb goal  SPARROW goal

    goody??? 

    ?  I think we do need a Ben Brown NOW 

    ? Giants have extra man at contest and we have may behind the ball. That’s a defensive mindset

    ? kozzzzzy. STAY INSIDE 50 ffs !!!

    Ok, I’m probably gonna cop it but I have never got all the love for Viney……sure he is hard at it but rarely does he come up with the ball and if he does he gets tackled trying to do too much. He’s not fast, blindly bombs his kicks but I guess he’s not alone there. I dunno, maybe I know nothing.  ?

    Reckon the club knew we were playing Thursday so no Brown with a 5 day break. Would suggest he only plays a half for Casey tonight.

    he sucks and I'm happy to cop heat for it 

    being tough isn't an asset anymore

    I would trade him in a heartbeat.

    He's getting exposed with the pace of the game, in 2 years he will be totally shot

    Agreed. If we were winning more clearances our forwards would be more likely to score. It's as simple as that.

    • 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.
