People are referring to the fact that the results in the games played so far in this round have been upset games but Richmond are on a bit of a run having won 6 out of their last 7 games which is a better run that we’ve had in that time. 

So in reality, it’s us who have our backs against the wall and on that basis, I believe we’ll follow the trend of the round by upsetting the Tigers.

Nice reframe. 

Good prophylactic for MFCSS.

    Is this the time of the day where we add comments saying how important the game is and how nervous we all are?

    Yep you do

    If you are a home and away member you don’t. I am, but paid $15 to get seats so I don’t have to worry about coming early to find a spot.

    Still rate the tigers but I think the showdown result shows the form were building (crows are a decent side).

    Take the 4 points and move on. 

     

    Not often we’ve had 3 premiership players and two AA players in the emergencies!!

     

    Our defence will smash their fwd line

    Rivers and Salem will rebound hard

    handy win coming up

    We just need to win. The rest will take care of itself. 
     

    I am hoping JVR and Petty click up forward today. That will take us a long way to winning the flag. Especially if Tommo continues his good form.

    Doubling down. Richmond to win, but it doesn’t mean our season is over.

    Only if we can add a fit Fritta to that ( or any ) combination.

    What’s the thought process here Old?

    I know it’s the one game at a time line, but the players and coaching staff are fully aware of what’s before us. Most of us had thought a top 2 finish was out of reach, the seas have parted. We must capitalise.

    Just had a long walk. What a magnificent day it is out there and how good is it to have the option of heading along to the G to see the Dees maul the Tiges.

    These are great times we're living in people so get along to the G and support the mighty Demons.

    Go Dees

    Would love to be there, will be watching from home in Sydney. Waiting patiently for the AFL to release tickets to rd 24, then I’ll be down again for finals.

    What a cracking day weather wise. This round has opened up for us. 

    We have to win today for so many reasons & I really hope Petty gets through the game unscathed because previously it seems we bring him back early.

    I think may will set himself up for a big game today after his not so great game last week

    I think Richmond will be desperate with finals on the line, I think they should have beaten us on ANZAC Eve but for inaccuracy/accuracy differential, I think their backline is capable, their midfield is not missing anyone and is batting deep and I think they have just enough avenues to goal in Riewoldt, Martin and Bolton.  If Lynch was playing I'd be even more pessimistic.

    I also admit there's a bit of MFCSS vibe, and it's been there all week, even ahead of the upset results that make the win more important for us.  Sometimes "I got a feeling, a feeling deep inside ..."  I have money on Richmond little-win.

    Hope we go with Hibberd as sub and give Smith a full game at Casey.

    I also think a loss at this time is not fatal for any of the contenders - hell if it is, put your money on Carlton for the flag.  I will have a nibble at that though if Richmond wins.

    Today we just need to get the win and move on.

    Things I'm particularly interested in and on watch today are:

    1. Forward connection with JVR and Petty, a close watch for me. We need some continuity now at round 20.

    2. I'd like us to take the game on and switch more, play more exciting footy so we can "flick the switch" when needed. Tempo.

    3. Forward 50 entries from our mids & half forwards, lowering the eyes.

     

    The backs and mids will take care of themselves more often than not so the above I will be playing close attention to.

    Cmon Dees, we've got this.

    Be loud and strong today everyone as I expect Richmond to be up and about today.

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • 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.
