POSTGAME: Rd 21 vs North Melbourne

Very ordinary game however there were positives. Nibbler’s continued effort throughout the game. JVR playing his role and now showing good follow-up with his ruck work. McVee is just a cool cat.

Take the 4 points and move on.

    I thought that was a good win. Tasmania is a horrible place to play and North are far from terrible over there. It's almost scary how similar today's game was to the last time we played them in Tasmania.

    Pickett's last month has been exceptional. He couldn't have picked a better time to get back into form.

    I'm worried about Petty's injury though. He just can't take a trick.

    Pointless IMO trying to pick final four spots at this stage with so much to play out. 

    Similar draws for us and Lions but injuries (to own and opponents), grounds (Lions today and at Marvel) and us in Sydney etc.

    Viney BOG for me. Stood tall and lead from the front when we were not switched on.

    10 clearances, 10 inside 50s

    An absolute beast

    Just saw on the broadcast Lever seemed shocked by whatever Petty said to him

    No he didn't.  In fact petty didn't look like a player who's missing finals. 

    Optimistic.

    Ruck round?  really?

    is it small defender round next week?

    After a frustratingly slow start the Demons have rocketed into the Top 3 on the ladder with a victory over the North Melbourne Kangaroos by 32 points in Hobart.

    We're 2nd.

    We got an unnecessary scare, but took the points. Might have only been against second last, but North came out hungry and we steadied. Good teams do that. Better teams don’t need to (we need to start games ON).

    But ultimately it’s a day marred by an injury to our already depleted fwd line. Petty has been an absolute dead eye, I hope it’s not too bad and he’s at least back for finals. We’ll need him. 

    Otherwise, Kozzie BOG, easy. Viney awesome, he’s having a year. Chandler good. ANB very handy. Melksham unlucky all day, but was involved despite stats not showing. Harmes bad. 

    Backline will need to start switched on next week against the Blues. Can’t give up goals like that.

    Anyway, we push on. Go Dees!

    Win is a win, we don't need to gain massive percentage IMO, I think it comes down to either us or Brisbane winning out for 2nd, Brisbane have a harder run on paper but who knows.

    Good job, well done Dees.

    I think you just have to give us credit for the character and ability to dig in today. Collingwood have been getting credit for it all year and it looks like we are building that aspect and never say die attitude too.

    Sometimes a good scare is not a bad thing. I hope we will learn from this and bring our A game against Hawks in two weeks.

    Glad we won but Q1 and Q4 were embarrassing. 1g 6b in Q4: have the goal-kicking yips returned? And some foot passes in Q1 were awful. It was like we were trying to kick it to North Melbourne! Kicking coach: hellllpppp!

    Good thing Harmes is getting replaced by a certain someone for this next game

    Definitely some Clarko factor in that first quarter and a half. Therefore a good response to have the 4 points effectively sown up at 3 quarter time, unlike Collingwood who couldn’t maintain their momentum yesterday.

    Good coaching resting the stars in the last quarter, albeit at the cost of percentage.

    Fair to say we’ve done our service for football by playing in Hobart 5 times since 2016, 6 if you count the fact that we were also scheduled there in COVID 2020. A little more than Collingwood and Essendon who have travelled there about zero times in that period.

    Max said it best in the post game interview, playing footy down there is true footy. Crowd doesn't really have an impact and its always a contested competitive game.

    First quarter was an absolute disgrace. A combination of arrogance, laziness, disorganisation and Clarkson’s sugar hit.

    No issues with the last quarter. Goodwin put the cue in the rack at 3 qtr time by giving Gawn, Viney and Trac major bench minutes.

    • 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.
