We waste so many chances going forward

    we should not be relying on free kick to win this, we need to rely on our field kicking, our kicking is pretty poor. The team is putting in the hard yards around the ground but then turning it over. we need to stop that switch, quite a few times they switch to langdons wing they get a kick at goal. Where are out players on that side of the ground where is their accountability. We need to strong last quarter to show then who is the better team. we have a few players who are down who need to lift, ANB is certainly one.

     

    Confident?

    Not really. The Pies have their tails up and we looked under serious pressure for pretty much that whole quarter. 

    But I'm holding hope that they spent all their tickets in that quarter, and rode their luck. It has to run out, right?

    WE HAVE TO MAKE THE MOST OF OUR OPPORTUNITIES INSIDE 50!!!!

    Momentum has turned big time. Pies made up their tackle deficit in one quarter. Their pressure is immense and we are crumbling. 


    I'm getting really sick of our players stopping, trying to take on 2 tacklers, then handballing over their heads. Collingwood's pressure is too good for this and we are turning it over to their runners too many times. ANB in particular is driving me nuts.

    Also Max, and BBB should be allowing midfielders to pick it up off the ground. 

    And if I see the Pies get 1 more mark  within 20 metres of goal I will freak out. 

    Having said all that I still reckon we are the better side at this point. 

    Nibbler is garbage. Everytime we try and transition our way through he feels the need to completely stop in his own tracks and take the tackler on. 

    So infuriating

    Pretty sure Nibbler has a bit of calf soreness.  Harmes time

    Yes ANB is seriously [censored]. Fumbles is his new nickname. Of turnover king !!!

    Maxy please stop kicking mate

    Stop kicking to pockets, open the forward line up, Jesus we are predictable.


    We are in trouble here. We won’t win this in a close one. Pies are full of confidence. We are playing what can only be described as brain dead football. 

    If you were a neutral you'd say Collingwood are poised to pinch this. We need to raise our game to change the narrative.

    Can't remember Viney's last touch.

    Double the inside 50s yet only a goal up. 

    Get it in quick and our defence is caught napping, They are always on the move.

    We need to be willing to risk a few things this last quarter. Our system is seemingly choking our instinct atm, we have very little dare.


    Answer the challenge Dees

    Has Quanore been on Kozzie most of the night?  If so he's probably had the better of him so far

    Yes I think we need one set of fresh legs 

    This why I never post that we will smash a side.

    Demons just need to take a few of our opportunities and we will be okay!


    We are slow and stodgy. We need to lift big time otherwise we lose this game

    We never win these games.

     

    .....but would love it to stop tonight.

    We are toast I think, pies evened out the contest which was our advantage, now they getting more supply they over run us

     

    Anb and others are forcing a stoppage by receiving the tackle. Creates lots of stoppages and clearances 

    But not using it well at all

    • 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.
