Chandler has exceptional skills all round. His foot passing sublime.

    He is soooo cuddly. I just saw the president give him a big smooch at the end of the team song.

    Disgusting 😁

    I agree, as a general rule club presidents shouldn’t kiss their coaches for many reasons

    I know that was little more than a good training run but one very positive point that did emerge is that in keeping Chandler and letting Bedford move on the Melbourne brains trust got it absolutely right. His accurate goal-kicking, constant pressure and excellent ball use stood out all night. And it was great to see Steven May showing his annoyance when North kicked some late goals. That's the kind of ruthless attitude that wins premierships.

    Concerned that despite the big win our 2 tall fwds only get 2 goals between them and didn’t do a whole lot else. We really need Brown or Tmac in form and back as they would add so much more 

    I hear you. The Shack had a BArry Crocker for much of the game. And van Roo, well he was well held but we could use him a bit more.

    I did say before the game i would take a 10 goal win, just really annoyed we gave up 3 junk goals to lose our 109 point lead.

    Credit to Tom Sparrow who has copped some heat on here so far this season. I reckon he played a career best game tonight.

    23 touches as 87% with 4 tackles and a goal.

    And will get the same result with BBB.

    I’m sorry but BB has a hell of a lot more runs on the board and was in good form in the first three rounds. 
    Schache is too timid to play key position at this level. He got out marked by Zeibel multiple times despite the massive height difference.

    Off a 5 day break I think we did very well to even show up in the last. 
    Hibbo was also off in the last.

    Just what the Dr ordered, pity Schache and JVR had quiet games.

    And yet we managed 22 goals.

    Easily the most disappointing aspect of the night was the crowd, which I correctly predicted at quarter time (I'm brilliant) would be 29k.

    We need to be getting 30k ourselves, let alone the third lowest drawing crowd in North also bringing say 5k.

    Almost perfect Saturday night, at the G, 35k-40k should be the benchmark.

    Some guy on talkback SEN complaining about the last 5 minutes - we did have a 5 day break FFS.  Tracc at interview said that they were all absolutely buggered.

    So what do I know, I said 5 goals we don't win by big margins. Nice to watch though.

    Excellent win

    Definite percentage booster 

    but … only the Dees would allow 3 soft goals in the last 3 minutes to reduce margin from 108 to 90 points!!! 

    5 day break guys.  Cool it.

    Seriously, the pillock behind me was screaming when we were kicking it backwards. We got plenty of time to beat up on garbage sides later this season and maybe get a 100 point win then and if not I'll take a few 90s.

    Job done, no injuries (that I know of). Jets cooled.

    Our forward line mix is tallied about but spread of goalkicker and looking at our mix.

    How we go inside 50 is important and happy with how that looks. 


    Defensive side of the game we thought we needed to tidy up. 


    How we defend has been a ficus. How we create turnovers. 
    Though we’d like the last few minutes back. 


    Petty likely straight back in. He’s a key player. At either end.

    Schache isn’t the answer. Petty back in or BB depending on form at Casey (with Petty to go back) 

    Yep. Did some nice things but didn't grab the opportunity. 

  • Quote

    That start was scintillating. 

    When Kozzie is up and going we become such a dangerous team. Banging goals from outside 50 is such a confidence booster.

    Clarry dominated in that first quarter. Led the way.

    Tracc: 30 and three.

    Fritta is all class.

    Maysie back in form.

    Chandler played the perfect small forwards game.

    Sparrow was very good.

    Angus best game for the year.

    Less impressed with Shack Attack and van Roo.

    Also I wonder about the effectiveness of Hunter's dribble handballs! Had a good game though.

    • 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.
