I’ve got no idea who wins today. I was supremely confident in the QF last year but they taught us lesson. All I know is that we’ll learn a lot about how we will go this year depending on the outcome of this game. This is an old fashion litmus test and audit of our game plan.

    I am stunned.

    Lose Grundy and Spargo can ruck.

    To then be risking JVR in his first game in the ruck, where we know knee injuries are common, would be unbelievable.

    If Tom hasn’t come up, we could have used Tommo as the sub, forward, back or even ruck.

    I'm genuinely just as stunned.

    3 weeks in a row now for Melksham even after a pretty pathetic performance from nearly a full game last week.

    It's obvious now they're trying desperately hard to get him to 100 games for the MFC which whatever... but it should have been spread out throughout the year.

    20 games to go in the home and away season after this one. Just saying!

    pies and swans look like the two teams to beat atm, but we know this changes through the season. 

    We we were 10-0 last year (and the year before). Couldn’t sustain that momentum either year, but recovered it in 2021 (helped by a good run with injuries). 

    it would be great to win without Max and Kozi, and would give us some confidence that we probably need to have when we play the Swans later in the year when it counts for more. 

    But, jeez, some perspective on this site would be nice! 

     

    Nah mate, this result dictates whether we are a serious contender or not

    If Spargo is kicking for goal after the siren from 40 out to win us the game, which side of the big and little sticks the ball floats if it makes the distance, will decide our fate for 2023

    Was at the game last year and Sydney’s kicking and marking tore us to shreds. Took us out of the game aerially all over the ground and their connection from backline to forward line made it so they could go end to end without us touching the ball. Much like last week, they had time and space to execute their skills. 
     

    We have to be the hunters! Apply pressure for 4 quarters, make them feel like they have no time and hit bloody hard around the ball. One thing you had to admire about hawthorns 3 flag teams, they had a mindset/attitude where they wouldn’t allow themselves to be hunted or physically beaten 2 games in a row. 
     

    I do believe we won’t be nearly as poor with skills/being fumbly today so I’m not worried about that, it’s coming out and not allowing Sydney to play their way. That’s how we beat them. 
     

    [censored] go out and smash em Dees, I want to see fire!!!

    I'm in the camp that if we don't either win or lose playing well then Goodwin is the problem. Yes he may of coached a Premiership but with the list he has.......SHOW ME THE MONEY!

    That being said I think we'll win well 25 points

    Shocked Tmac isn’t the sub. I have no idea what we do if we lose a tall. I hope the coaches do.

    he needs to get form back. he already has 17 touches 10 marks and a goal. T Mac getting back into form is much more important that who sits on the bench for likely 3 Quarters 

    we are playing the long game which is best i reckon.

    I love Kozzie but that hit was a total brain fade and he's let his team down.

    He's young so he gets a pass . Just hope he learns from it, appreciates the club sticking by him and resigns.

    We need his X factor. 

    Umm....signs up again. My bad.

    Any chance we can write re-signs? I always struggle with that one

    Is this really what you think? That Petracca is slow and Clarry can’t hit a target by hand? No idea how we won a premiership with such a slow unskillful group. 

    Yeah unfair on Oliver.

    Kossie is quick and I didn't say Trac was slow.

    Hitting a target by hand means they don't pick it up off their ankles

    Going to be interesting to see how Grundy goes today without Max.

    Well Grundy is a proven A grade ruckman and does not need to live in the shadow of Max Gawn. Only question is his form and fitness after playing only a couple of games in a year.

    Not quite sure what will happen today, much like before the Bulldogs game. Just want us to be the aggressive contested beast we all got used to before the middle/end of last year.

    • 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.
