Umps have got black and yellow jocks on tonite but the swans have been dreadful. Be interesting to see what happens with Franklin. probably a slap on wrist.

    Commentators already angling to get him off. Saying it was an open hand. Looked like a fist to me. They have too much influence on the tribunal and MRP. Seems to be a pattern.

    Daisy Pearce is a very good commentator.

    Not a great start to the Bloods.  A long way to go though

    Richmond getting their mojo back. One last shot before the band moves on? Martin back makes a real difference, he's their talisman.

    He shouldn’t be. This is going to be really interesting with the MRO.  He fair and square punched Cotchin in the jaw. So we will see what the MRO deems to be the issue, the action or the consequence. Did Viney hurt Collins? No, but he got 2 weeks.

    Clear cut ... except for who it is.  Chandler would have been giver 4 weeks for that.

    First was an open hand, but the second was a clenched fist without any doubt.  But of course that [censored] Christian will say "insufficient impact" or some other BS excuse.

    The "on the line" call from the umps for a player standing the mark after an OOTF is such a dumb rule/call given the player kicking is never lined up and forced to kick over the mark (as he should be) to start off with.

    The player kicking in starts off well inside the mark of the player on the line and is effectively in an instant "play on" position from the time he is handed or picks up the ball but the player on the mark must stand on the line till he runs further inside and kicks it or handballs.

    One of the dumbest rules in footy right now.  Whose idea was it to introduce this rubbish!

    "Umpiring is so inconsistent" - yes, consistently so.

    Particularly the holding the ball / incorrect disposal.  So confused.

    And apparently Martin is allowed to dissent without a 50

    Now the early-season hysteria is behind us, could Richmond be the Dees' biggest threat?

    Seriously, every week the narrative changes due to a single game. There are 4 or 5 teams that have shown they can challenge us, it is simply that none of them have sustained it thus far.

    McKennerny had the right idea there but too shallow

    If that is the case then they should take the space away between the S and Hocking and just rename him Shocking!  Give him another hotdog on the way out also!

    Great goal Budstar!!

    The first swing was open-handed, but still contact to his head (face). The second one looked more serious. Let’s see what happens.

    Gil should [censored] off now and take Scott with him.

     

    Seriously, the umpiring is making this sport hard to watch, that prohibitive contact against Rioli is a joke, not seen anything like the last two rounds.

     

    That is Scott and Gil’s handiwork, clowns should go

    So now a player can’t brush past another player. I don’t blame those feral Tigers supporters for losing it.

    • 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.
