Unpopular opinion here but I hope Fremantle win tonight.

Essendon have a joke of a fixture in late July/August (Nth, Wc, Syd, GWS) and are a legitimate chance to take our spot in the top 4.

They will drop 1 or 2 of those...

I hope they win tonight, their next 4 are tough.

If they can make top 4 with that draw they deserve it.

You really can be a glass 1/2 empty kind of person at times.

    I don’t hope Essendon win tonight.

    They’re nipping at our heels for a top 4 spot and I expect them to beat Port next week (post bye theory) and then Adelaide at Marvel. Then their easy fixture commences shortly after.

    They're not that good.

    If we can't win 7 of our next 9 we won't make top 4 & don't deserve too.

    I think we will.

    EFC won't have anything to do with it...can't see them winning 8 of 10.

    They will be lucky to win tonight, I hope they do.

    Well I want a better pick so I want every team to beat Freo. 
    I don’t care about those around us. If we are good enough we make the top 4 on our merit. Maybe having to scrap for a top four might get us actually going.

    If ESS pull off a win, they are a better team than I give them credit for.

    I'm in the minority that want the bombers to win evidently. Give me them low picks and watch the bombers get knocked out in the first elimination final and build false hope.

    I think you’re in the Majority that want the Bombers to win.

    I’m in the minority that want Essendon to lose tonight (and in future weeks) so we can get as much top 4 breathing space as we can from the likes of Essendon, Bulldogs, St Kilda etc..

    My second best bet of the round (lions to cover their line was #1) - Freo to cover their minus 5.5 line. 

    The only reason i'm not more bullish is the predicted rain creates some variables

    Fair enough, I mainly read anti-bomber sentiment which I completely understand.

    We don't know how the rest of the season will play out so I will be content for Freo to win and give us some breathing space.  Hanging out for the possibility of better draft picks is less important than getting into the top 4.   And feels (in a weird sort of way) like 'supporter tanking'.  

    Our window is now.  Don't need some star pick who may (or may not) develop in a few years.  (On the other hand, I realise a low pick may give us a trade to get what we need now.)

    Also, I hate Essendon.

    We are in the now but aren’t performing like a genuine now yeah and a low pick from Freo might give us a good kid who does come in ect year and perform. Look at how some top 10 picks are playing across the league. Sheezel would slot in nicely to our team.

    Sure, but no quarantee that a 'ready-to-go year 1' player will be available to fit our specific needs, or that they won't be available a spot or two lower in the draft.   I'm happy to leave it to Freo to lose to teams that are no threat to us.

    Dees currently with pick 5 with Sydney comfortably ahead of freo on percentage.

    Still want essendon to win.

    I'm of the view that if we have to hope for teams around us to fail for us to qualify for top 4 then we aren't much chop anyway. Let freo fall as far as possible and put top 4 in our own hands.

    Either way I'll be happy tonight.

    Bombers win helps our draft hand. If we fear them taking our top 4 spot, then we have much bigger problems.

    Freo win and I'll get to enjoy a bombers loss.

    It’s the way I’m looking at it.

    But the idea of Bell failing badly makes me want a Freo loss each and every week!

    Oath. 

    Cannot believeee people are riding on the hope of other teams falling around us. 

    We will dictate our position by wins and losses. And at the moment, we look a mile off a top four side. 

    We should be riding a Freo loss every game, regardless of who they play.

    Who else really looks like a top 4 side ?

    Never cheered for a draw before but there is always a first.

    Anyone worrying about Essendon taking our spot in the top 4 will be breathing a little easier watching this game. No way are they a top 4 team.

    • 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.
