My observations:

  • Our first crushing win.

Did you miss Gold Coast last week? 98 points?

    My father told me when I was a boy that good sides win when they look average. A good side has the ability to get the job done when they are not at the top of their game. If we keep winning I don't care how we look. When you win the record book does not say played poorly it just says won by X amount. 

    Are you starting to believe, od?

    A good team win, Smith held up, Hibbo did his bit and Milkshake was good early, BBB was constantly double tagged and spent time up the ground playing the TMac role. The midfield led by Max and LJ did what they had to do, the backline led by Jake Lever, Petty, Rivers, Bowey and Smith were great again. We coasted when we could and accelerates when we needed to and Bayley Fritsch played the game of his life leading us to a great win.

    Well done DEES, top effort Frittata.!!!!!!!

    I also liked that we put a different roster through the middle with Gus in the guts, winning clearances at the end.  Lots of resting minutes into the main crew, and a chance for others to demonstrate that they should run through on occasion.

    I can see rivers going through there in years to come.

    in the finals we are going to need to win the contest and the middle.

    Our backline did look fairly shaky in parts, Steven May is clearly an incredibly important cog in the backline system. 

    I thought Petty was outstanding, his trajectory of improvement this year has been quite phenomenal, deserves any and all credit he gets. 

    and the Crustless quiche strikes again!! 

    Agreed, hes looking very reliable, marking has improved out of sight, great judgement and good kicking hitting targets. This has allowed us to release May moreso to use his kicking. another v good game.

    I thought Smith played himself into the game well. Went off with cramp for quite a bit of the 3rd qtr so I think that upset the balance a bit of the backline.

    May is critical as we know.

    I sit in the AFL members on the Southern Stand wing and it feels like the entire game is played on the members side of the ground!

    Well I sit in the members and feel the opposite. Haha

    Rivers plays well, down back. Rivers could play absolute opposition havoc if allocated a few minutes each game in the midfield.

    Apologies if it’s already been mentioned but apparently Fritta now holds the record for the fastest time to kick 3 goals. His 3 goals in the final 88 seconds of the game is now the record.

    When I look back at the 2021 season in 2030 it will state we beat adelaide in rd22 by 41pts.
    Good win.

    Oliver getting much needed goal kicking coaching from Stafford at training yesterday.

    Will he 'get it'?

    Would love to see him kick a few this week.  If he does, it could just win him the coaches award (and maybe the Brownlow).

    its definitely psychological for Clayton. he cant kick them dead in front. If he pretends hes passing to a seat in the 10th row he would snag more goals.

    "So, um, here's how you do it. You, um .... where are the laces on this thing? Do they still have laces? It's been a while since I've  -- oh, here they are. Crikey, the balls are a lot smaller than I remember.

    He could try running in a straight line, ensuring his kicking leg stays in a straight line AND leaning forward as well. That's 86.4% of his problem kicking for goal.

    Same goes for Max, jnrmac.  I get so frustrated with his veer to the right, hook to the left habit.

    At the draft camp thingy before the national draft, Oliver kicked 30 from 30 in set shots. One of the only draftees to register 100 percent accuracy. Hard to know what's gone wrong since then...!

    It seems so. Hes a deadly kick around the ground and going inside 50. But in front of goal...you can see the anxiety on his face as soon as he takes the grab and looks around at the goals...

    • 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.
