    David King is such a frustrating commentator/analyst. He takes a bob each way every single time.

    How can you suggest putting David Mundy into the forward line while at the same time saying "there's heaps of time left, just hold your heads"?

    The way Freo play i won;t be surprised if we keep them to less than 30 points in a few weeks

    Fremantle have kicked two behinds in two quarters of football.

    Hard to believe they came into this game 2nd on the ladder with a percentage of 153%.

    There’s still time but dropping games like this can derail the season, we know that better than some. 

    Much the same that Saints dropping the Cairns game to Port, this could be the start of a dip for Freo.

    Even last year when Melbourne dropped some games against lower sides, we were in the game right till the end. The fact that Freo haven't been competitive since halfway through the 2nd would be worrying for them.

    Based on this showing, Fremantle isn't where we were last year, let alone where we are this year.

    This will put Gold Coast at 4-5, with three wins against top six sides (Carlton, Sydney, Fremantle).

    They have the Dogs, Hawthorn and North before the bye. 6-6, if not 7-5, is on the cards.

    They then have home games against Adelaide, Collingwood and West Coast, and road trips to Essendon, Hawthorn and North. That's another six winnable games right there.

    Finals set? Not yet, surely.

    The thing about this Suns rebuild that they've finally gotten right is the people they've brought from other clubs. Players like Chole and Casboult aren't superstars but they're honest players who set standards and have A-grade qualities in certain areas.

    Players like Gary Ablett were never what this side needed.

    The Suns have been hard at it but its been very poor from Freo. Clueless going forward today

    Steven Mays interview On the Couch this week was telling IMO.
    Come down to us from GC thinking his skin folds were ok at the start of pre-season.
    Got a shock to find out how far behind he was when he got here.
    Trained hard to catch up before the start of the season and then got injured 2nd game in.

    Well done to the Suns.  That was a great performance.  Witts is a wholehearted player who sets a great example.  Miller is an absolute jet.  He's as good as most mids going around at the moment.  Their young players are really coming on as well.  Good on them.

    lol just flipped over to the Blues game and see scores are level. I thought I saw them up 20-0. When are they going to sort out their fast-start-then-stop-for-the-rest-of-the-game approach?

    I was very impressed by the Suns when we played them earlier in the season and felt they would be tough to beat especially on their home track. They are definitely on the improve.

    The win also means that the competition has had its quota of upset defeats and we can look forward to the game later today with a little more confidence. 😉

    Are you a believer in some higher power dealing out quotas, or that word will filter through to our players to watch out?   And then take advantage of the situation.

    I think Andy/Demonland views the world as being balanced on the eye of a needle perched in the bowl of a giant Premiership cup, with the all-seeing eye of Norm Smith doling out judgment on all things football (and perhaps beyond).

    So, in short, it all comes back to what Norm thinks. Him being the Higher Power and all that.

    • 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.
