We badly need to get the Adelaide loss out of our system and our season back on track

The Suns have improved.This will not be an easy game. 

I want to see a consistent 4 quarter effort. And a more direct style of play. Oppositions know that pressure disrupts our handball through the corridor approach  so don;t invite them onto us.

Hanks is a big loss. she's a super player. But we should still have enough to win this game

Dees by 15 points

We must have a W in the W/L column.  Unbelievably, the season is half over, and anything but a W will see us falling well off the pace.

 

Better output from Zancker Paxman and Mithen will help. All three were quiet last week. Not sure if self or opposition related.

The team needs to use the flexibility they have shown to overcome any diminished output from an individual. 

We still have the potential to be the best team and can beat any opposition if we structure appropriately and change patterns if any obvious difficulties. Coaching needs to respond by making appropriate moves to match up both defensively and offensively.

it took too long to use Daisy in the forward line when Harris wabeing double teamed and channelled.

Oppositions are getting more refined and we must adapt to that.

lifting our disposal efficiency (particularly handballs) will help a lot…


Our confidence is down, the Adelaide game maybe taken a toll.  Wish Abbey Holmes would use the term ‘elite’ less.  C’mon girls!

Certainly missing hanks and gay and straight kicking for goal 

 

Great goal Skipper 

All playing better. Maybe need to watch the play on .

Strange holding the ball interpretation.


Scoring end???

Suns make no attempt to dispose of the footy, no free when tackled

Eliza McNamamara is becoming a very, very good AFLW player..

Agree 100%!

Kicking for goal is poor! 2-4 and on the full. 3-4 or 4-3 and game almost over. Hoping for accuracy this quarter!

Mithen - 8 x tackles

zanker n paxy - 7 x tackles

hore - 6 x tackles

i like it 

McNamara all class, Zanker and Mithen cracking in. Libby Birch very solid down back

We’re the better team. Just need to convert our chances.


We still have a few fumbly types that Adelaide and Freo don't.

Birch down back is very reliable. Yes we are still fumbly  at times but other times we looked good. 

Nice to get the win. 

Oh well, a win = 4 points, but plenty of improvement needed if we are going to seriously challenge the top few.

 

Good to win but Mick has plenty to contemplate.

Seems like Hanks will be back next week thank God but Gay is out for 3 weeks unfortunately.  Better news for Purcell who is getting closer to debuting in the Red and Blue.

Let’s keep Caris in to support L Pearce, who was great tonight, and drop Parry, for one of the young talls or Ali Brown.

Not that convincing but we got the job done

Contested game much better. Mithen BOG. Her best game for a while

Zanker, McNamara. Paxy, L Pearce and Birch best of the rest

A few players down on form still in particular Kate Hore. We need her firing if we’re to beat the best teams

If we can bag the W against GWS next we’re in decent shape heading into a tough run home

Go Dees

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
