Not sure about everyone else but kicking a point isn’t advantage?

They should never call advantage so close to goal. Just let the team take a set shot.

    Bummers will continue to run and gun. We need to get our hands on it a lot more.

    Would be good if the midfield could play the whole 4 quarters without lapses in concentration.

    Kayo working flawlessly for us


    Fine start for Essendon they should be really proud of that effort. Draper scorching us in the ruck and if Petty is really hurt then they could really exploit that weakness down back.

    Great kick from Melksham to steal one back before QT but these guys need a rocket up their behind.

    We need to keep backing our ball movement because once we break the centre line the Bombers are very susceptible. Get stuck in and win more contested footy to shield the backs and we can easily get back in this.

    If you take the advantage it is, miss the goal stiff 

    We didn't take advantage, the foul was called after Grundy had disposed of the ball. Hard for Kozzy to know if he should kick or not.

    I've never seen Clarrie start a game with 2 touches in the first.

    Him and Trac need to really lift. Not good enough.

    Damn. Hope it improves for the rest of the game for you.

    I'm 5 km from the Adelaide Oval and there's no wind at all, so I don't know where you are. It's not raining. In fact, perfect conditions for footy. BB will play. There won't be any changes for weather.

    Might have changed your mind ..windy ..a bit of rain & no BB 🤔

    Shocking defence efforts but very efficient forward line entries -  almost the opposite of last season -  our backs need to get head in the contest and mids work harder defensively 


    Mids need to get involved more just letting the bombers have to many unpressured entries fwd  

    Let’s hope the coaches have sorted some of that [censored] out.

    Petty and Tomlinson stinking it up 

    One of the results of playing Petty up forward for most of the year?

    They are playing with a really high defense. Just have Rivers and Sparrow kick to space behind their last line of defence, get Kozzy, JVR and Milkshake work on ground.

     

    1st 

    fumbles very costly 

    Bombers spare defensive across half back is very good (Scott 1 Goodwin 0)

    Draper causing problems 

    Oliver 2 touches 🤮🤮

    Parish 13 disposals 🤔🤔

    Pickett nearly dangerous 🤩

    Fritsch 💙❤️

    Good news is that they can’t play much better and we have much we can improve on. Not losing to those cheats in Adelaide.

    • 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.
