Gerard Healey comparing Jimmy Stynes to Mason Cox. Give me a break. 

 

What did he actually say? I mean Jim achieved the ultimate in the game as an individual. Was picked in the State of Origin side. Cox plays one good game every 8 weeks. They were talking up his player ratings. It’s laughable to compare them

    Toby made the right decision for his career leaving Melbourne, he still wouldn’t be getting a game with us. 
     

    Some really interesting games next weekend.

    Collingwood are going to be in the grand final aren't they? They're likely to win it. 

    I mean we can't beat them. We haven't beaten them in years.

    Right on. That’s the defeatist attitude to live by.

    He was gushing about Cox, how great he is and how he came from the U.S. and learned our game and blah blah blah then almost as an afterthought he tacked on a throwaway line to the effect of “…and Jim Stynes came over from Ireland.”

    Just on the subject of Cox, that USA chant makes me sick. It’s one thing to have the American flag in the crowd (I have to say that’s ok since we wave Irish flags at our AFLW matches for our Irish girls) but to chant a player’s nation is bs. Why only an American player?????

    Collingwood miles ahead of everyone else and they’ve got multiple players to come back.

    The only thing going for the rest of the comp is that they have peaked too early and will run out of gas.

    Everyone said we were miles ahead last year too at round 10. And we all know how that turned out. 
    Smashing GWS at the MCG without Toby Green is not a premiership winning achievement ffs. 
    Yes they are setting the tone. Their game plan is what we’ve all adjusted to and they are hard to beat. But they aren’t impossible to beat and player vs player we have a superior list of talent. We absolutely can win it this year. But we have a lot to work on. Lucky it’s only May.

    Yes. Not close as a player or a sportsman, philanthropist or an all round humanitarian. Gerald Healey hang your head in shame.

    Barely noticed Nick Daicos today yet he has had 40 disposals

    He gets a few by kicking out after a behind and getting a handball receive when he runs past a player who's taken a mark.

    We have a great record against the pies in grand finals. Beaten them 6 times while they have beaten us just the once.

    They can be beaten, it appears some on here would lie down very quickly.

    Adding to that we’ve still got Carlton twice plus Richmond, North and the Hawks again. 
    Games against Port, Pies, Cats and Lions crucial to our top 2 hopes.

    No excuses not to finish top 4, top 2 very desirable.

    Absolutely. 

    And after this Round likely Top 8 wont also change now just the final positions. 

    Newbies from 2022 will be port crows and saints. All deserving.

    Bombers and Blues can whistle Dixie for rest of the season.

    For those that have the Pies pencilled in as premiers, no premier in about 20 years has been outside the top 6 at defending inside 50s.

    Collingwood look very good, but no better than we did this time last year and we all know how that turned out…. 

    Loooooooooong season and anything can still happen.

    Melbourne, Collingwood, Brisbane and Geelong all seem a cut above the rest at the moment.  Port Adelaide, Crows and Bulldogs also a chance on their day.

    They've played mostly the same teams as us but got close to Collingwood and port Adelaide. Honestly we have had a softer draw 

    I said fixture, so taken into account the draw and the travel as well. They’ve had a very easy run.

    Yeah I don't think we're in a position to accuse other teams of only beating up on lower teams.

    I love how we are poised this time round. I'd rather be underdogs on King's birthday.

    Pies appear to be so even all over the ground. 

    Their midfield of De Goey, Crisp, Mitchell, Daicos, etc. bat deeper than probably every team including us.

    They may be vulnerable against our dual rucks 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.
