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.

 

Wind GC up. Soulless club designed to make fat cat execs feel good about themselves.

not a club; they're a franchise

sole (soul?) purpose to to have 2 teams in the brisbane market and bolster the broadcast rights deal accordingly

alice doesn't have the taxing humidity of cairns or darwin

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: 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.
