Some holes appearing in the Swans game. Really struggling to score, and too easy for opposition to rebound out of their forward 50. They need a couple of small defensive forwards to help keep the ball down their end.

I think Casboult has been outstanding for the Suns. His kicking might still not be great, but he keeps on presenting and is such a good mark.

    Problem is they get right on the edge about to explode and be raided again by Victorian clubs.

    That's fixable though, Brisbane were in the same boat not so long ago, winning games really helps with retention. 

    I would imagine the AFL will move heaven and earth to get Clarko to the Suns, if he can convince a couple of quality veterans to go there and retain their out of contract kids, i'd nearly back them to push for finals in 2023

    Nice touch for the players to acknowledge the eight supporters that travelled down from Surfers.

    That is a very good win by the suns. 

    Now we just have to win tomorrow and we will be 3 games clear ahead of sydney. 

    Collingwood fall out of the 8 

    Now just need the hawks to put more misery on the bummers and it will be a good day.

    Tigers 2018 preliminary loss.

    Barring major injuries were playing in another GF.

    Swans  having a forward line revolving around Franklin is starting to look like a mill stone around their neck.

    Isaac Rankine taunting an opponent as he got a free kick at defensive 50, what a stupid [censored]. Try running both ways for a change you over hyped nobody!

    Pruess only played 22 games. Good to see him play solid footy. Looks like a 100 gamer already

    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? 

    All our taller forwards can mark and kick but their leading patterns are all [censored] about at the moment. 
    Keeping something up our sleeves for finals?🙄

    Dew was a long time assistant at Sydney.  Probably proves that Longmire hasn't changed much over the years since Dew left.

    Giants just not working hard enough. Whitfield with 7 touches? Create run and overlap and they should win easily.

    I excluded him from my head count Picket. Incidentally his dog has a coterie membership at Hawthorn.

    Yeh i agree they looked better earlier in the season taking multiple avenues to goal.   Become a bit predictable when Buddy's in.

    That free kick to Hogan was ridiculous. No contact, or minimal at best.

    Why don't the commentators call it?

    MRP peer pressure

    Aside from the form of Cameron i don't really see much change in either team vs last season's general output 🤷‍♂️

    32 and 290 games taking its toll. Still a gun but lost some explosiveness

    • 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.
