    Bad kicking is bad football. Suffer Carlton!

    3.5 minutes to go, Saints are up, ball is in their court. Still unsure who wins.

    But the joy of watching the Blues choke on the Friday night big stage means my weekend is off to a great start.

    Wouldn’t you just love to be walking back to Southern Cross station amongst those Carlton tossers tonight!

    Absolutely disgraceful umpiring. No2...does not have any idea about  distance.Totally incompetent...five mtr distances many times,and paid marks

    Never had any confidence when he umpires one of our games.  Seems more interested in show ponying than giving an even go.  Someone somewhere must have data as to the free kick balance of each umpire vs each team .... I strongly suspect we would be on the far left of his ledger.

    Carlton were quite unimpressive tonight. 

    Can't help but feel more confident watching them tonight

    Now a definite chance to build a two game gap (plus %) to 3rd place.

    And then next week a classic 8 point game hopefully with our two preferred rucks back and rested.

    Will be interesting to see how we set up v Adelaide but hopefully we can scrounge a win with our depleted ruck stocks.  Big opportunity for Sam.

    Gotta feel for the umpires here. They’ve done everything they could do, but it just wasn’t quite enough.

    What a disgraceful performance it was.  Even in the dying seconds they managed to find a 50!

    I usually switch off the game at the end but tonight I have left it on without the sound.

    Does anyone ever leave the sound on when that demented disorientated walrus wanders around the rooms with a microphone - looks like a long lost uncle who nobody cares about but "had to get an invitation" at a wedding.  Garbage.

    I know we are all meant to take it easy on the umpires, so to keep it fair, I will just say they were pathetic. They somehow contrived to give Carlton frees that were not there and at the same time, deny the Saints frees that were there.

    WTF goal review ???    Rushed behind and no suggestion that CFC kicked it and blind Freddie could see the it was ay over the line.  Madness.

    Wasn't it pointless whether it was over the line given the Saints player touched the goalpost with his other hand...

    Blues can’t keep coping with 7-8 players out and Saints look good every few weeks

    You were dead right 

    well played

    Saints only 9 frees, very low number.

    They had 6 free kicks at about the 8 minute mark of the fourth quarter.  That's barely 1.5 frees a quarter to that point.  Would have to be some sort of all time low number?

    The amount of 10 - 12 meter kicks that were allowed as marks was astoundingly poor judgement from too many of the officials tonight.  If they got a third wrong i would understand.  Had to be at least half this evening.

    At one stage, with no eyes on the ball until after initial contact, Cripps ran straight at Ryder in the ruck on the edge of the Saintsl's goal square.  A clear block a la Tommy Hawkins at his worst in the ruck but the ump just called play on.

    And what was that goal line review.  Two umps watching, one on either side, and neither could see that the ball clearly went over or the post was touched with the other hand?

    And the McKay free late in the last as Mr Leg has mentioned!??  As Brian would say in his grating whine...Wowee!

    There were some patches where i thought it was great to see the whistle put away but unfortunately any good work was short lived by being over officious or just poor calls, mostly against the Aints.

    • 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.
