As I said. Something is NQR. I can’t put my finger on it. Is everyone in this side just in it for the cash? They seem so devoid of passion. Greene that dweeb is the only player with genuine passion but he’s a tool who can’t keep himself away from suspension. 

I know exactly what you mean. It's like the majority of the players wish they had  been drafted to another club but have accepted their fate. Like its genuinely just a job to most of them.

They really should have won 2 premierships with the talented list they have.

    The 1000 goal game was a myth this week as we all know but they couldn't stop promoting it.

    With 4 goals still to go I doubt Buddy will crack it next week either against Geelong (Friday night prime time of course).

    Perhaps against the Bulldogs at Docklands the following week

    I dunno. On paper they are so talented but I don’t rate their coach. They’ve had a gun team for so long but something is just NQR. 

    Why isn’t Cameron under more scrutiny?  Probably something to do with the “free press” and AFL media licensing.

    Soulless GW$, after more than decade, nobody even living in Greater Western Sydney gives a toss about them. 
    This is why there is so much Gambling Advertising shoved down our throats.

    I am not taking too much from the game. A rivalry has built up so they will often put in their best efforts. Commentary was sending me nuts so I had to turn over and watch Lanning bat for half the time. 

    Brissy I think are the ones to watch as are port so  will keep a close interest to that game.

    PowerPepper spins 720 degrees, with prior opportunity - play on.

    I liked that decision. Disposed of it cleanly despite spinning like a top, so it wasn't an effective tackle. 
    It makes the umpires job easier.

     

    This game is terrible so far. Skills atrocious

    Early days but neither Brisbane (my early tip for GF opponent) or Port look anywhere near top 4 material based on the first quarter of this game.

    They don't have to be "effectively" tackled. For a legal tackle they only have to be held, body or jumper.

    For how long? That's the key to the interpretation. For simplicity, I am happy for a tackle to be considered ineffective if it doesn't prevent the player from legally disposing the ball.

    Seen it happen at least 3 times this round and not paid

     

    That said, saw a 360 paid last night with game on the line! Love the consistency…

    prior: must dispose immediately

    no prior: within a "reasonable" time

    Not a shot at you, but the concept of "interpretation" of the rules is bogus and should be removed from the game.

    I can't stand Joe Daniher - constantly with his hands outstretched pleading for the free. Why not just win the ball mate?

    By various interpretations of "immediately", Trac was holding the ball when Bont tackled him in the last passage of play in the 3rd quarter of the GF. He disposed of the ball, but was it "immediately"?

    Immediately is inherently subject to interpretation, because it ranges from planck time through to human reaction time through to a second through to…whatever.

    Well he was held then kneed in the head - definitely play on

    well - not really

    even if we'd nominated him there was no way gw$ wouldn't match the bid

    and if they hadn't we wouldn't have dogga and i'll definitely take dogga over the mini-clayton that is tom green

    Perhaps, although as already mentioned, GWS may have been happy to snap up Dogga. I'm sure glad we did.

     Sorry I’ll change the question. Are there any Giant’s fans?

    Ive got it lets amalgamate GWS and GCS...

    We could call them

    I think i'll wait until after Buddy kicks his 1,000th goal before I watch Sydney play again. It'll be a great feat for sure but i'm already over the commentators incessantly talking about it.

    • 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.
