Not really. We end up in second on the ladder to finish the round while pick 4 from Freo is still in play.

Hey you're dead right! Thought we lost 2nd for a moment

Brisbane celebrating like they just won a grand final. Embarrassing. 

A great result. We are ahead of Brisbane AND Freo stuck in bottom 4. 
Jackson embarrassing in that quarter. 

Jackson played his heart out, entitled to show a little fatigue in the end. Embarrassing is not the right comment.

He was soft. For a guy earning more than Gawn, he needed to do more.

Lol soft? Ok, you’re always right. Sorry

He did not go hard enough in a few critical contests in the last and fumbled at crucial times. He was very good early but he had a terrible last quarter. 
He was also rucking against Daniher who is not a great ruckman. 
 

I bet you scream for ANB to be dropped when he fumbles 🙄

Coming of age performance really, gave Fort plenty to think about.

A draft pick is a lottery. Look at Bowey and Laurie. One pick apart.

Going a game clear of an interstate team in 2nd when we are massively in contention is worth a lot more than pick 4 vs pick 5.

I want Freo to win. Draft picks mean a lot less to me than multiple home finals.

No-one's arguing that.
But 2nd spot is ours to keep ..... If we're good enough.
As they say, "The ladder doesn't lie."
 

The other thing to consider is if Collingwood lose two of the final three games. Both we and Brisbane could overtake them 

I would have preferred a Fremantle win today but there are 2 consolations: a better draft pick for Melbourne and a small winnning nargin for Brisbane (which might be meaningful in the push for 2nd position). 2.5 games clear of 5th and surely we'll win at least 1 of 3. We need to knock off Carlton next Saturday and finalise the Top 4 (if not their order)!

I think the Crows are a chance to knock off the Lions next week - Even though it’s at the Gabba, they are trying to get into the 8. 

Here's hoping. Would be the best thing ever.

Daicos out for 6 weeks with a hairline fracture 

 

Could have been worse. They might have ruled him out for 4 to 6 weeks and that would have been curtains for 2023.

McRae's press conference was par for the course. He's always a little twitchy, it's just his way. You're all just looking for cracks way too hard. 

Pies players were laughing on the bench with 30 seconds to go. This won't hurt them - I'm in zero doubt they're loading, for no other reason than they can afford to. Top spot is theirs. They know they've beaten anyone on their day and can win from 5 goals down consistently. 

Sorry to burst the bubble, but they're absolutely primed and this loss is doing nothing other than enhancing their priming. 

Will be beyond surprised if they don't make the grand final. 

Is this satire?

Have I missed talk of Match Review for the Blanck hit on N.Daicos? Late, front-on no eyes for the ball, caused serious injury - must get weeks IMHO.

I thought the same thing ... to me the Hawthorn player deliberately took Daicos out and should have been cited for unduly rough play.  2-4 weeks penalty

But because Daicos was contesting the mark, head contact was unlikely.  Are the AFL so head conscious that they let this incident go?  And are we going to see a glut of these sorts of incidents (if a player can get away with it)

The other standout out feature of the weekend was West Coast not flooding back to protect a slender lead in the last couple of minutes of the game

There's no truth in the rumour that certain members of the Eagles hierarchy went from ashen-faced to rosey-cheeked once the Bombers scored to gain the lead.  It's just another wacky conspiracy theory Sarcastic Joke GIF

  • 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.

  • CASEY: Williamstown

    The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
