    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: 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
