Parish set a record with the number of possessions.  Will probably get high votes from both coaches (10 will go to the Akermanis clone).  But gee Parish is a frustrating player; runs hard to get a possession but lopes around when it is time to chase.

At the end of the first qtr yesterday he had 15 possessions with distance gained:  90 mtrs!!!  Its circuit handball work for him. 

Talk about chasing Brownlow votes.

He is the epitome of an outside receiver and very very vanilla. Just a Meh acumulator thats all he is Pass

    I see Grundy could out for 8-10 weeks for the pies. If so he will be paid approx $100k a game. 

    Collingwood were always good at splashing cash around for good, ordinary players!

    When will they outlaw knees up at a ruck contest? 

    Agreed.

    Too often Max ends up with knees in his chest but gets pinned for 'blocking' if he puts his arm out to protect himself and keep the ruckman at bay.

    Draper deliberately targeted Grundy's knees.  There was a ball up after Grundy's right knee was injured where Draper stayed down, took his eyes off the ball and waited for Grundy to go up and then jumped just high enough to reach Grundy's (good) knee.  Should have been cited for rough conduct.

    My immediate thought:  thank God we have already played Ess and aren't up against Draper again this year.

    Draper is lining himself up for a suspension soon the way he plays.

    Saw footage of how Darcy plays.  He also took his eyes off the ball and waited till Pittonet leapt before jumping in with his knee.  Pittonet out with a PCL.  Like Draper's action it looked deliberate.

    As soon as a ruckman takes his eyes off the ball at a CB the umpire should call a free.  Or do it often enough cited by MRO for rough conduct, fined and if need be suspended.  

    We don't need the better/best ruckman to be taken out.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • 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.
