All doom and gloom at bigfooty:

  • If Brown does miss, we'll at least get ten goals closer...
  • We may do better in this game. No expectations, we'll be rank outsiders and there'll be less crowd pressure.
  • It's deck chairs on the titanic after only 3 rounds
  • 25k ? Id be surprised if 20k turn up at this point.
  • I have been a member since 1997 and at the moment I would rather stick pins in my eyes then witness another week of that [censored].
  • Play the kids and see what they can do. We are done this year. I’m glad it happens this early in the season, so the club has time to search for a new coach.
  • I’d be surprised if we keep this under a 80 point loss.
  • A Dee-struction on the national stage will go down a treat. Ben Brown to kick another 10.
  • We are f’ed, gave away all out depth when we were back to back prelim finalists..Joke of a club at the minute
  • Max Gawn hasn't been killing 'em in ruck this year but once again Melbourne run two big men in Gawn supported by Jackson. It is amazing how other sides seem to be able to run two big men but we can't.
  • I am losing patience with Connor Rozee as he has talent but seems to have hit a plateau. If Duursma can get the drop so can Rozee. He can take Motlop with him.
  • I'm trying to envisage how Port can choose a 22 to win this game. Maybe if the Dees have a bad night in front of the big sticks, we might be a slim chance - otherwise 0-4 is a certainty.
  • Honestly we are no chance. It’s a matter of how much. Even with a full list and Petracca and Oliver rested, we still lose. Our only hope is to have each team we play affected by covid but remain clean ourselves.
  • My god we are going to get hammered.  Melb by 71 points.
  • Who ******* cares
  • I suspect this Melbourne side would have given any of the sides; great Geelong side of 07-11, hawthorn of 13-15, Brisbane and port of 01-04, a good shake.  So no chance we win. But you do get to see some of the game’s great players whoop us so…..

And for good measure, a hint of optimism:

  • I’ve got a strange feeling that we will win.  The reality is it really should’ve been a 5 goal win against the crows if we didn’t butcher so many easy chances and the crows actually missed.

    Judging by the tone of that game day board, perhaps they should replace 'Never Tear Us Apart' with this upbeat little number prior to the first bounce?

    The pessimist in me thinks they are a chance but they already tried to drop players to generate a response and then they choke like that against the crows?

    Beyond amazing - do we have a Lizard King incarnate at the Dees? Feeling Dogga gives off some serious psychedelic 1960s/1970s vibes.

    They want a flogging so the coach will get it. Poor Ken. I think this will be closer because we aren’t in the kind of form to smash a team and they will have a burp of passion for Hinkley. 

    They really have to win this game. They aren’t beating Carlton away. They will be 0-5 and that will be that.

    They were pretty solid in round 1 being 20 odd points in front of Brisbane just before 3/4 time (in Brisbane). Personally think Brisbane are a certainty to make top 4 

    They obviously put in a poor performance against an underrated (imo) Hawthorn side and then probably should have won last weeks showdown

    This is going to be a real test for our team early in the season - if we are off a few % they are a big show

    Joeboy's 3 word analysis is my favourite. This is a close second for laughs though.

    mine too; #1 is the 6-1 for best players after another glorious victory

    pear were good in rd 1 up until 3/4 time, hopeless in rd 2, good in rd 3 up until 3/4 time...

    they have been significantly hit by injury to key position players in particular, but i fear a regular top 4 side who are facing a 0-4 start if they lose this thursday

    Agreed.  Power were stiff to lose to Lions at the Gabba. 

    They aren;'t near as bad as portrayed by some and will be a hard game for the Dees.

    Port Adelaide can't be too optimistic about crowd numbers on Thursday night.

    They're offering two tickets for the price of one in an effort to entice fans to attend.

    It's particularly funny to see because i know a lot of Port People who were desperately hoping we'd beat Geelong in the prelim because they thought we were no chance of beating them in the grand final. 

    I think they'll show up and have a crack but we will win the big moments and win by 3-4 goals, we seem to be operating in first gear at the moment and banking in wins.

    • 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.
