Thank god that’s over. Terrible quality game. Happy to bank four points and move on.

Well done to Weid on his return. Took his opportunity and was the best forward on the ground.

    Got there - a slightly un-Melbourne scoreline (oppo kicked 70 points rather than 50-60) but we got the Melbourne margin (20-30).

    Told you all that Weideman was a good selection pre game.

    Nah jk I put my hand up. That was like Weideman of the 2018 finals series. More of that thanks.

    Tom McDonald on the other hand is depth now. Casey. Whatever it takes.

    One game I'd rather forget and move on with the win.

    Another very professional win. We were challenged throughout most of the game but we've developed an outstanding ability to grind out wins when we're not at our absolute best. 

    Oliver played one of his usual brilliant games. Brayshaw just keeps getting better every week. He and Langdon have become a killer wing duo. Weideman's earned himself another game. Good on him.

    Gus is Mr Fixit, very happy for Weid. 
    Oliver is sublime.

    Keep banking points.

    Those posters who called an end to Weid’s career in the Casey thread last week, the floor is yours.

    Incredibly frustrating.

    Takeaways: 4 points and Weid looked great and took his opportunity, will be great to have him as another forward option this year. Looked confident, and happy! Gus was good out back. Clarry immense.

    Things aren't clicking yet, but we're 3-0, beaten two top 8 teams and plenty of time to work things out.

    On to Port!

    Weid deserves to stay in next week (from a SW doubter).

    TMAC needs a lesson or 2 in humility. Maybe May could teach him, as he was well humbled tonight.

    Clarry BOG. Brayshaw very good as well

    Well done Weid with 4 goals. Keeps his place. TMac back to Casey to try and find some form

    Bank the 4 points and move on

    Looking at Tommy walking off the ground I reckon he knows what's on the cards - possibly no Ben Brown next week, so he might have one more chance in the side but if Brown is in I reckon it's for McDonald.

    Considering the experience that is out, i will take a 5 goal win. 
    No injuries and 4 points at Round 3

    onward…

    Can’t win a premiership in April, but you can certainly lose one.

    Still stuck in 2nd trying to get to 3rd.

    You clamp down on Petracca and all that does is let Oliver run rampant. We are a hard team to stop.

    I know some posters will flame us for the scrappiness of that effort but "Bang Bang Bang" footy isn't needed at this time of year. Bank the points, reset, recalibrate and move onto next week.

    Very happy to see Weideman do well. He keeps his spot ahead of TMac for sure, IMO.

    Bank the 4 and a great deal of regrouping required before Port in 6 days.

    Last week likely took it’s toll but there’s adjustments to be made and some players that need a bit of a rocket.

    Lever et al. can’t come back soon enough and once Brown returns, TMac is on borrowed time given Weid’s performance. I simply believe he adds nothing for us if he can’t take a mark anymore.

    Pickett can’t live off occasional displays of brilliance for much longer either.

    • 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.
