I wish Id followed my own advice pointed out the dogs were at three dollars twenty for some strange reason

    The ball hits the ground and there are 4 Dogs to 2 Port. Port's lack of intensity is appalling. 

    And simply not handling any pressure. So much fumbling

    Just imagine if the umpires hadn't gotten the Dogs home last week with all that BS umpiring. We'd be playing Port or Brisbane in the GF.

    Still makes me angry.

    Wow so many similarities to last night. Port are slow, second to the ball and the Dogs are taking their chances! Geelong and Port were not PF teams and both teams were basically witches hats! We have beaten the doggies twice this year too and with no injuries on our end we have to stay positive and trust this new Melbourne team in the Granny! Go Dees!

    Well this is a disaster. 

    Agreed. We should’ve just lost to the Cats last night to put our minds at ease.

    Is there a worse coach in the AFL than Ken Hinkley? 
    Tactically he is awful.

    I might have a look at the Big Footy/Port forum.

    I'm sure they'll be blaming the coach.

    Of course - as the players left at half time, were the Port fans booing Dogs, their own players or coach?

    Dogs are +26 in contested possessions and +9 in clearances.

    Hard to beat them with that level of midfield dominance.

    In fairness, they are getting them vs Port not us.

     

    PS - and they aren't even needing to throw (much)

    If l recall, last time we played Dogs we kicked innacurately & got within 4 points of them in the last before they kicked away. We can beat Dogs in 2 weeks just gotta take our chances.

    Dogs on a wide ground scare me but if May gets up i think we have their forwards covered.

    As much as Gawn won't play a game again like last night, Mitch won't play another like tonight.

    We really need to show up at the contest though. Everything is built from it, the Dogs have A grade mids on their wings and bench.

    Take courage from 2018, Eagles and Pies smacked their opponents before playing one of the best Grand Finals you will ever see.

    I don’t think i have ever seen a team play so badly in a Home Preliminary Final

    This could cost Hinkley his job if it continues in the second half

    We know how they will play on Lever at least. 
    Who takes Naughton? Gonna have to be Smith - nobody can match his athleticism.

    Doggies are still vulnerable down back so we will need a huge effort in the midfield but I think our brand is better suited to finals. Port is just flattering them tonight.

    Their mids dominated also, I’d think ours would give a better showing this time round.

    Sets up a ripper of a GF

    Port HAVE to come out and crack some heads. Lycett and Dixon should have free reign to jump on the Bont’s knees 

    Port have had the extra week off, no quarantine, sleeping in their own beds and no injuries and at home! They will never live this down unless they come out breathing fire.

    • 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.
