    Freo on top of the ladder. That said, I will never agree with the idea that a team can be ahead on the ladder if another team with equal points has a game in hand.

    The ladder doesn't count until the end of the round surely. But I agree this will be an issue once the byes start (as they have already in the VFL) . There are solutions like ranking by ratio of wins to total games played and then percentage but for some reason the AFL doesn't do this.

    Saints haven’t done too well selling off games.

    yep the media is starting to question the decisions.

    Just like we did with the Darwin game.

    Alice is the optimum destination if you have to sell a game. Dry and around 22 at game time. Not sure what it would be like playing at night there as we haven't done so as yet

    The AFL is all about equalisation but clearly some  clubs have to sell games to balance their books and some don't. Frankly, no side should ever have to play in Cairns. I couldn't believe how ordinary the ground condition looked pre-game and the humidity is not conducive to playing Australian Rules. If you're trying to sell AFL to Queenslanders why play in Cairns which doesn't show the game to best advantage? I'm sure there's about a thousand places elsewhere in the Country that are at least as deserving off hosting an AFL game.

    To me one of the biggest issues is that these games always involve non-Victorian clubs being the away team. How is it that Port Adelaide rather than playing away games in Melbourne against St Kilda & Melbourne get to play them in Cairns & Alice Springs. As I've posted before, these games should be against Victorian teams where loss of home-ground advantage isn't so significant. That doesn't happen apparently because Victorian teams don't like it. Well, bad luck. Their opinions should be totally irrelevant.

    Watching filth v gold coast. GC are terrible. 

    Umpires love the filth. 2 ridiculous free kicks to Brown. Ridiculous free kick to ginnivan. Clear 50 metre penalty to licotius (sp) ... against #7 daicos. Not paid.

    Cairns is putrid for humidity.

    Never been to Alice but no place on earth can possibly be as 'wet' as Cairns.

    If they're going to play in Cairns, it should be a twighlight match so the humidity/dew isn't as bad.

    At least they always get a crowd in Cairns. Personally I feel a team in Cairns/Townsville would make more sense than Gold Coast.

    I agree, but even GWS (franchise) seems to have players who play for the club. And GWC seems to have no discernible system, just goals through talent of few.

    Why don;t they make Brisbane and Gold Coast play in Cairns? It's in their state after all

    Watching the Essendon Bulldogs game with interest. No team gets more frees than the Dogs, and no team consistently feels like they are on the wrong side of umpiring decisions like Essendon supporters.

    Channel 7 should have promoted this as the ‘cue the boo’ clash.

    Your pretty close there as Cardwell, just south of Cairns, I believe is the wettest place in Aus.

    • 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.
