If Collingwood are to keep winning I hope it's from these penalty shootout games. Eventually they will die.

    I'm bullish on Collingwood's chances this year as they have a great blend of attacking flair, defensively sound and play with a ton of spirit.

    However, you'd have to wonder how sustainable all these close losses are in terms of their chances in September. The law of averages will suggest they'll start losing some close ones in the late rounds and finals.

    Have to feel for Leigh Adams a bit.

    They just had a great win and have a few winnable games ahead of them.

    But North have started the process of getting a priority pick.

    What does the coach do:  tank to get the pick or go all out and build some belief and confidence in the next 5 games.

    Agree, at some point and especially this late in the season all those 'penalty shootout' wins catch up with you. 

    Just hope they are nice and wrecked for our game.

    It's such a flawed situation. I wonder if the AFL will have the Kangas under a microscope on the lookout for any action not within the spirit of the game? Maybe Ben Mackay's forward move recently should have been scrutinised more! Will let it slide until Davies Uniacke lines up at Full forward and Goldstein goes to Full back but at that point I expect an investigation! 

    Real talk though I'd go with the confidence and belief route. It's underrated.

    Those post-match scenes were so heartwarming. Some of the players did an entire lap of the ground, hand-slapping as many fans as poss. And when they sang the song… 🥹
    To think they’d orchestrate losses to get a PP is very disheartening.

    Reckon Collingwood have burnt a lot of 'petrol tickets' to get where they are. Hopefully they fall away form now.

    With regards to Collingwood, the average percentage for a grand finalist since 2012 is 134%. (MFC's percentage in 2021 was 130%)

    Collingwood are currently 106% so they would be defying absolute football logic if they make the GF this year.

    • 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.
