Omeara pretty good today.

Aish playing the Linger's wing role pretty well this season.  Need to put a cooler on him and Brayshaw and a hard nut on Young to pressure him off those long kicks.

    Dockers play a very similar game to the Hawk's during their dynasty when the ball is won from skinny side ball ups / throw ins.

    They all run in diagonal pattern to the fat side & through the middle, sharing the ball looking for the outnumber overlap, all the way to the other HFF looking for a target (Walters etc).  If you don't cover the fat side on those ball ups & throw ins....good luck!

    Freo looking fit and fast. Let’s hope they didn’t get the memo about Loading. It’ll be a tough game style to play for 26 weeks.

    You're kidding aren't you?

    They were running up and down on the spot in the last and had very little of their outside speed and run all game.

    Good win. But a touch lucky as the hawks smashed them in terms of inside 50s but wasted their opportunities.

    And freo made the most of theirs, with some help by some woeful defence.

    Very impressed with the Hawks in-your- face frontal pressure and chase downs from behind today.

    Their 'hunt' and effort was immense and caused plenty of turnovers you usually don't see so often from the Dockers.

    Reminds me of us in periods last season and throughout the finals.  Really need to find that pressure and hunt in this second half if we're to take out most of the challengers from here.  Hopefully starting on Monday.  And more so after May returns.

    Freo are still inconsistent and young. If this game was in melb they lose to another average team

    You have to impressed with Mitchell and the hawks. This is their version of bottoming out. Time will tell if it’s the right strategy but they are looking promising

    Lions have all their tall fwds back now. Expect them to put on some big scores. Might take a while to get them in form though

    if they are off and Saints bring manic pressure this might be a good game

    In the third quarter they did what they needed to do to win the game, and they clearly had the legs to do it.

    Maybe I’ve been tainted by what we’ve dished up after half time the last few weeks, but they have a lot more energy to my eye than we currently do.

    Enjoyed the game. Great contest and can see both teams as contenders - Freo now and Hawthorn when they get a bit more consistency. Not too many weaknesses in Freo's list although that forward line will crumble. Fair dinkum, Michael Walters looks for a free with every touch of the pill!

    Being neck and neck with Brisvegas, vying for a top 4 probably necessitates them NOT loading as early as us...

    Looking at their block of games against relevant top 4 competitors, I'd be putting in a greater block of training post Carlton...

    They wouldn't be necessary doing so when coming up against Melbourne, or Brisbane.

    ie: You'd rather win against your direct competitors, and then risk losing against weaker teams...

    (look at me putting on my exercise physiologist hat!)

    Yes - but a ridiculous knee jerk rule. 
     

    Apart from that one even, this game (B v StK)  is being grossly over umpired.

    Joe Daniher once again showing why he isn’t a Nobel Prize winner. Just plain dumb running on to the mark from behind play.

    I actually like the rule. I didn’t like all the rushed behinds we used to have. Defenders have to defend now and keep the ball in resulted in better quality footy 

    agree on the second point though. Most scores have come from frees. Eg the second goal for Brisbane in the first Q for a high contact should never have been paid

    I can’t remember seeing any game so overumpired as this one. Nor particularly biased, just overdone.

    Yep  you're probably right.

    Freo looked fatigued to my eye, and so i thought it wss a really meritorious win.

    They're a good team and have more genuinely fast players than us, which gives them an x factor.

    Catch 22 again stay a game, maybe two clear on top with a Saints win or three games clear of fifth if the Lions win.

    • 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.
