Abundantly clear how much you need to pressure your opponent in a final. Still gobsmacked by our lack of intensity last night.

Absolutely disgraceful that Pies will have a better season than us when you compare the stars we have.

Pies have a heap of finals experience as well as exciting young talent. People judge them off the back of 2021. They've played in 10 of 15 finals series since 2007 and all of their experienced players have big game performances on their resume including three grand finals and one flag. They are a genuine flag threat. Weird everyone has been writing them off all season.

    The Swans will be a brick wall next week

    Sydney v Collingwood looks like a cracker on paper, as long as the Swans win.

    I’m jealous watching Collingwood play such an attacking brand and going deeper into September than us despite an inferior list. After years of waiting for finals at the G again, watching us live the past two weeks was torture. We really need a gamestyle adjustment over summer or we’ll waste our window.

    Hopefully the Club, to the core, feels the same way

    Exactly right.

    They’re a proven quality side that simply had an off year in 2021, with off field issues all over the place.

    No doubt every man and his dog will predictably write them off against Sydney, despite going the distance against the 2022 premier elects in Geelong.

    This win that Collingwood are about to scoop easily, this is the exact type on win we were supposed to get last night.

    I can’t believe people are still underrating Collingwood, their sadly a very good team. Their midfield is bloody good they have a more skilful and smarter group than ours, their backline is solid and they have some very dangerous forwards. And there playing a style that suits there strengths and are a chance to win the premiership.

    Yep and hopefully the coaches are already hard at work trying to put a system together that will hold up against the attacking styles because it was definitely our weakness.

    I reckon Sydney have the work ethic and best balance of skill and determination, and Geelong have Jeremy Cameron looking like the best player in the comp.

    Long way to go yet.

    Just goes to show and remember that the rest of the season is just prep work for September.

    Need to get the game plan right through the year while winning enough games for top 4. Getting the squad fit at the pointy end

    Making sure you have enough guys running through the team through the year for every scenario - I called for JVR to play against Nth Melbourne, reason being he wasn't going to blooded in the lead up to September and it proved a bridge too far to debut him in finals ( despite Brisbane doing that exact thing in wek1).

    Need to be smarter off the ground

    I'd be fine with that. I will be shattered after beating us if Sydney lose to Collingwood. A Collingwood Geelong would be a nightmare. 

    Credit to pies fans though in turning out. 90,000 against freo is a good number.

    What a crap weekend of footy. Even the storm are out now

    • 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.
