What a win given the outs. 

And also given how scrappy we were at times and how many silly decisions we made.

Great start, next week is a huge test. Kosi will be missed for the next 3 weeks.

    I haven't seen any replays of the Kozzie "incident" - sure it was late and maybe reckless but as far as could see at the game no head contact and no adverse outcome to the collidee.    

    So what does that mean in MRO points or whatever raffle they are doing this year? This week?  This game?  He elected to bump but did no harm?  (But nor did Moloney.)

    Are we going to be the victims of absence of precedent once again?

    Very impressed with Judd McVee his rise has been meteoric this season hopefully he can continue and not do a Gysbert.

    I presume those saying Kozzie will get weeks we’re watching on tv and that was what the commentators said?

    At the game that just looked like a stupid late contact that amounted to nothing. Smith gave Kozzie a tap on the but as he went back for his free kick. Even the replay looked hard but not head high.

    Great to be back at the footy, especially when we play like that. The skills, especially the kicking, were so much better than last year (save for a couple of wobblers!). We also looked so fit.

    A nice highlight for me was deep into the last quarter, when McVee (who looked gassed) willed himself to a contest with English and spoiled the ball out of touch. Brayshaw ran over and gave him the biggest bear hug, like he’d just kicked the winner. He’s going to be something - what a pick up.

    Well that was fun, wasn't expecting 50 points.

    I am not a great fan of leaving some of your best players (Oliver and Kozzie) on the bench at the start of a quarter.  Thats why the Dogs had the early momentum in the second.

    A solid performance across the field.

    Thought Jake Bowey was absolutely excellent tonight as was Mcvee. 

    Gee in the last quarter we were running on top of them, looked like we could have played another 4 quarters, excellent signs!!

    Wasn't a punch but what does the dog expect.
    Kozzie to roll over for a free remonstrate?

    Exactly 

    Someone reminded me a few players have taken until 2nd year from knee to get back to for. Hopefully Thomo build on a pretty good start!

    I'm a big fan, but I concede I'd thought he was pretty much done

    Disappointed Tom McDonald couldn't kick that goal to replicate the 2021 grand final ending 

    He won us the Grand Final !

    Willie Rioli got off similar last year

    I thought that was fair enough myself.
    Rioli was after the mark, realised he wasn't gonna get there and tucked up.
    Split second thing.

    Good on him

    He got up from the Smith bump and appeared to apologise and Smith patted him on the bum appearing to accept apology

    Then the cavalry arrived to remonstrate

    Looks like McRae walked into one

    Thought Lever really stood up in Mays absence.

    Bowey is Mr reliable

    Kozzie has arrived as a complete player, looks bigger and more powerful and will be a nightmare match up, as if they didn’t have their hands full already with Clarry and Trac.

    TMac looked out of sorts , but it’s a positive to kick a winning score with TMac down and Fritter out. BBB will hold down that Full forward spot bar injury.

    Interesting TOG stats. 

    Lever, Petty and Tomlinson all 100%. Next was Langdon on 89%. Which means everyone other than our three key defenders got at least 11% time on the bench. 

    IIRC we often had Langdon and other runners in the 90s for TOG last year. I’m hoping we learnt some lessons about resting players. 

    And Langdon on the MCC wing 😱

    And playing half forward. With Nibbler take a big stretch of wing minutes.

    We won’t be able to go with 2 (or 3) small wingers against certain sides in big games, I love that they’re working on versatility now

    Anyone know what spurred Gawn to giving Baker a gobful in that 3rd quarter?

    • 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.
