What’s his coaching style @Chook? 

Us vs them, backs against the walls from what I've heard.

    Yes I was sorry to see Toby leave, but IMO Chin is a better player for the team and structure. 

    Bruise free Blues. 

    Bedford seems to be doing ANB's role to pressure up the field. Doing a great job for them. Yeah you're right, Chandler is a better fit.

    It’s all emotion, which makes it difficult when they shank one of their own like Rohan Smith. 

    I reckon the dogs are cooked.

    With the Doggies missing the finals I think that is also the end of The Pornstar, Lukie Boy.

    GWS will have no fears against St Kilda down here. I might stick some money on GWS to make a Prelim.

    Almost a perfect weekend except for Melksham injury.

    Expect a big manic monday from Bulldog players. They'll let off alot off pentup loathing at the boozer for whoever . Could  get ugly.

    That Toby Green is a wild little chicken. Love the brillliant swipe to McGovern in the last.

    I was at Marvel Stadium tonight. The Blues wanted to make sure Charlie got his second Coleman Medal and he did. Well done, deserved it. Cripps & Docherty rested. Walsh, Cerra & McGovern got to dust off their injury cobwebs with a run. 'Bruise free' footy after half time whilst GWS played with real purpose and intensity for keeping their season alive and trying to get past the Saints on percentage.

    I hope the Swans beat Carlton next week. 

    It's kindof good our game is first up, because we'll know who to barrack for along the way in the other games. I agree - I generally hope the Swans win, esp if we lose. If we win, I'd half want Carlton to win, so they can knock Collingwood out in straight sets (which I can't see Sydney doing), then they can get smashed by Brisbane in the Prelim.

    I'm low-key rapt the Doggies are out of the finals now too.

    We were even after the prelim of 2021, and in fact I recall the dogs were favourites.

    Fast forward 2 years and they really need to re-examine what they're doing. I think it starts at the top and they need to get rid of Luke Beveridge. Nothing against him and nothing against the dogs, but he's been there a long time and has a coaching style that wears thin after all the tricks have been used.

    Interesting offseason for them (yes I'm aware this isn't the kennel but I have opinions about the dogs).

    He's the Ricky Stuart of the AFL. Treats the media with contempt.

    Carlton defence and mids love running forward of the ball and pushing up high.

    Sure it looks good when they go deep inside 50, but on turnover none are exactly sprinting back to defend. Very much a one-way running side

    That’s not how they play

    Good, hope they all get pulled over at the booze bus and blow the smithereens of the breathalizers😇

    I don't mean to be rude but after that display I really think it's time for Carlton fans to shut the hell up. Congrats for making the finals and getting a couple of fortuitous wins but they don't put premiership cups in the trophy cabinet for 9 game winning streaks.

    This football caper is not easy and they're about to find out that this thing called finals is bloody different. Sure you boast king cobra Curnow and fake Brownlow medallist Cripps but I wouldn't be surprised to see them binned in the first week.

    Totally agree. Yes Premierships do come unexpectedly but you have to have done SOMETHING prior to 1995 to win the flag (future readers adjust for your time-period-of-reference which is roughly 30 years).

    Carlton have gotten a bunch of so-called "A-graders" back in the past couple of weeks but have lost a lot of their magic edge. Very close to 3 losses in a row.

    I hope for Carlton's sake that Michael Voss takes a microscope to the last 3 weeks and identifies which of the big names should play VFL until they can bring what the lesser lights are able to do with such good success for the past 10 weeks. 

    Don't give him any ideas. Let em suffer.

    • 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.
