Collingwood have definitely played the most exciting brand of football this year, but their fairy tale was not to be.

Oh, damn.

    And of course it will be all about the Papley mark and goal and nothing about the Collingwood frees forward, or non frees against … or Darcy’s kick across goal.

    Be fair they only tried in the last quarter.

    Counterpoint: it's Collingwood, so let's not be fair.

    No No just Howe's two stuff ups in the third.

    If we weren't banged up like we were then I believe our gameplan and list would have delivered us another grand final. Yes I understand the excitement of using the corridor but boy it's risky.

    I'm defo not sad that they've lost, but the way they play is bloody exciting. If they'd gone from 17th to a grand final, that would have been ridiculous. I'm relieved it hasn't happened though. I really like McCrae as a coach.

    The secret to winning flags is to be there or thereabouts year in year out, then wait for things to go your way. Exhibit A: Melbourne Storm.

    As a supporter you couldn't ask for anything more.

    Yep, you might hate the club but their style of play is probably the best.

    Quite possibly the least interesting two teams we could have.

    It’s frustrating because if Melbourne were still in it I could see us easily getting out to a 30 point lead and then choking against either of these two teams.

    The game plan would not have delivered us anything. As the plan evolved or maybe a better description is degenerated over the second half of the season, banged up players or not, we were barely a top 8 team.

    Yes but the 3 years prior they lost in a gf, preliminary and a semi. 17th was the outlier.

    My god Sydney nearly choked then. I was dead set certain the pies were going to steal that. I had images of them kicking a goal or receiving a free kick.

    But then I think how sweet it is they lost by 1 point & how all there supporters paid outrageous flight prices to travel and now they have to fly, drive, bus or train it home miserable.

    But the kicker for me is knowing Jeremy Howe will not get a chance to have a crack at a flag this year and he didn't have a great day

    Sort of satisfying that the close game specialists lose two finals by a goal or under

    On my way home from the Swans - Pies game.

    Hilarious. A good time was had by all. 

    The Sydney crowd is a different beast to what it was evenfice years ago. Glorious voice. The duelling & duetting slow chants were magnificently efforts of mutual irritation.

    Up in the top of the stand where I was, the building was actually shaking from people jumping up and down to the Swans song.

    Again, good time had by all.

    Poetic justice that you went out the way you’ve won it all year. 
     

    Now Sydney, for the love of god, do us a solid and smash Geelong next week.

    Boy you hopped off our band wagon pretty quick. It was only 4 months ago they were saying we were unbeatable with our game plan. What changed….injuries.

    And he won't have in the future, I have the feeling this Collingwood team will digress/Plateau next year. Hopefully they also will have to keep carrying Grundy's contract

    • 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.
