How is that a behind? No spike on edge at all. Weird. 
Lucky this won’t change the result 🙄

    Score review is a joke 

    Just let the umpires make the call and be done with it.

    As a big cheerleader of AFL football in western Sydney you'd think Kevin Sheedy would be loving this.

    Is the view good from the bench Brad?

    Hope his dumb brother has the same look later tonight.

    I'll be disgusted with anything less than a 130 point win 

    I just texted my Essendon mate to tell him the comeback is on. I’m so mean 😂

    Is there a more annoying phrase than lace out being used in footy?  A pure grid iron reference that has nothing to do with AFL. 

    It's actually a very old footy expression that was laughingly asked of a teammate (usually the full-forward) about how he'd prefer the footy to be delivered for a chest mark - laces in or laces out?

    "Laces out" was preferred because it was easier to mark and didn't bruise the flesh.  It essentially means a perfect kick that hits the target exactly as planned.

    20 goals in 2 minutes.

    Not impossible.

    I slept in, had 4 hours in the garden, followed by 4 hours to myself to do nothing but flick between Demonland and the live footy, fish 'n chips for dinner, and now a nice Heathcote region shiraz.

    Feeling good.

    And I got to watch some Bomber v Giants and see the final score.

    The English language in all its beauty does not hold enough words to describe the jubilation of seeing the Bombers annihilated. I hate them more than Greta Thunberg hates petrol cars, plastic bags and rational thinking. 

    Long may they suffer and rot.

    And now I am feeling very, very good.

    Someone needs to go on bomberblitz and say they are currently still a mathematical chance of making finals 😁

    126 points. Adam Kingsley you are a genius.

    What a beautiful game to watch.

    The best thing, no finals for the bummers again.

    GWS will beat Carlton next win to make the finals. Green will destroy them.

    Why? We didn’t need to travel, our attendance in Melbourne has been really strong, and we have record membership. If the club can’t turn that into more revenue, coming off a recent premiership, then they should ask hard questions of the sponsorship team.

    Do you recall when it commenced?

    *apologies - nor do I! - my point was - it was done in a context where they would have felt it was relevant - many seasons before the current seasons, thus no idea it was a 'tight' season.

    Anyway there are a whole host of reasons why clubs have done it...

    AFL clubs sometimes sell or allocate home games to non-traditional venues for various reasons:

    1. Financial incentives: Regional centers or other states may offer financial incentives to clubs to bring AFL games to their location. This can be more profitable for the club than hosting a game at their traditional home ground, especially if they're not expecting a large attendance.

    2. Grow the fanbase: By playing in different areas, clubs can attract new fans and members.

    3. Community engagement: Clubs can strengthen ties with community groups, local clubs, and schools in the regions they visit.

    4. Partnership agreements: Some clubs have established partnerships or sponsorships with territories, such as the Northern Territory, which require them to play a certain number of games there each year.

    The Melbourne Football Club has a strong association with the Northern Territory due to their partnership agreement, made many years ago, before 2023.

    Carlton coming off two hard close games. GWS off a training run with Green rested in the last quarter. Good luck to Carlton.

    • 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.
