Interesting comment by Beveridge that coming off a 5 day break and last weeks 'high intensive running' game hurt them last night with fatigue and injuries.  Why play Bontempelli 81% of game time knowing he had injury.   Did they really need to run intensively last week when the game was won?

Sure they got the big % boost vs Ess last week but it possibly cost them a win this week and more injuries for the coming weeks. 

He could learn from out strategy and go defensive in the last quarter when we have a good lead, especially knowing they had a 5 day break. 

Looks like poor game time management, all round.

    One thing that I really noticed in the Port win was their kicking to a leading forward inside 50. I think they had nearly 20 inside 50 marks. It's something that Melbourne has really lost. We kick long to à big pack and rely on Ben browns reach. Would love to see us delivering to a leading forward out in front. I don't think it's our forwards. All of our forwards are capable of a strong lead. I watch and they just hold back and wait for the long bomb. Probably why our forwards aren't kicking bags atm. Thoughts?

    Heavy Cairns game and tight last quarter up there appears not to have slowed Port. 
    Saints also  have extra day. 

    I’m not buying the Saints will be “buggered tomorrow” narrative.

    They’ve had good a 8 day break and the resources put into sports science these days should see them recover just fine.

    Agree 100%. But should the Saints lose you can guarantee it will get trotted out by the media.

    Impossible to tell from that game. North were as bad as it gets. Freo actually turned the ball over a lot in positions where North should’ve scored but North were just so bad it’s impossible to tell. Freo are on track to play finals. We’ll see whether they’re top four material in the next month when they play GC, Pies, Us and Brisbane. All I got out of this game was that I hope North play that badly against us in round 10. The percentage would be great!

    Knowing us, Cunnington will come back, have 55 possessions, kick 11 goals, and we’ll win with a point after the siren. Kicked from right in front in the goal square.

     

    MFCSS strikes again 👀😂💪🤷💙❤️

    Bulldogs are bottom 10. I said at the beginning of the year that I thought Port had the best list, apart from us. I still think that they can make a Grand Final. They have a solid A grade midfield, when fully fit!

    Could not disagree more, their chance was 2020 and they blew it.

    Ok, Ken.

    You can’t tell some people! Butters, Rozzee etc (All good young players of good character) . Port have a culture of scrapping which the Bulldogs, Essendon etc don’t have right now. I believe that Port will be one of the teams we should respect going forward. But people in Melbourne seem very narrow minded about other peoples ideas and write them off too easily.
    Ok. I admit! They gave up too easily to the Bulldogs but Port have been there or thereabouts a for 20 years now. They rarely drop off! They shall be back! We need to be ready for them! Even if they don’t make the Grand Final this year or even the Finals, they shall soon enough!

    Howe and Moore have been torn apart by Richmond. Their usual intercept marking has been taken out of the game leaving their defence all at sea. But this game has been lost in Collingwood's forward 50. They can rarely hit their targets.

    • 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.
