That’s fantastic from those three legend players to show their appreciation.

Who was that player you were talking about that does the complete opposite?

I’m so not gonna go there, B-B-P. I was lambasted for even mentioning that there’s one player who is eternally rude to us, and that’s without saying his name. 😩

That’s because he is. 💕

Ben does so many good things off-field without making it known. He’s kind and caring, totally selfless and he’s the nicest person you could ever hope to meet. He listens and is genuinely interested in whatever’s being discussed and he remembers stuff you’ve told him. I can’t sing his praises enough. He’s a very special person. 

Bit of a man crush going on here me thinks WC 🤪

If we get past Carlton next week, Brisbane at the gabba looks a bridge too far. We’ve performed far better at Adelaide oval so was hoping Port might get up tonight, but Lions are an offensive juggernaut up there. It’s a real tough path for us now

Pies are getting the Friday night prelim right?

The number 1 seed always gets the Friday night prelim.

It would be fairer for everyone for Brisbane v Carlton/us to be the Friday night (allows a 7-day break for us/Carlton) and Collingwood v Port/GWS to be the Saturday twilight (allows a 7-day break for Port/GWS and as a twilight game allows Port/GWS to get home before the end of the day if they win to prepare for the GF).

Collingwood will draw 90,000+ to their prelim and a massive TV audience regardless of timeslot.

Brisbane do this amazing thing where they allow their fellow forward to mark it without crashing into and spoiling them! We should try it 🤔

Are you suggesting we should attempt some sort of forward craft and method coach?  Wash your mouth!

If we somehow miraculously fix our forward issues and beat Carlton, I think we can beat Brisbane. We’re the last team to beat them there and they will be a bit shell shocked to play a game with a defence as good as ours. 

But, ultimately I just have a feeling that with the momentum Carlton have, they’ll get over the top of us.

what about when we beat the Pies and Brisbane and Swans away.

were they miracles?

In a finals context and with our current forward line yes. We lost to Brisbane up there too.

Just got home and seen the score, considering we know Port is overrated we’re Lions brilliant or just ok?

I still think we can win it and if we don’t this year has been a massive failure.

They look very good. They are getting plenty from their young players too...not many players you can try to expose through their team.

64 inside 50s for 123 for Brisbane 

69 inside 50s for 53 for us 

Shows what a functioning forward line can do… albeit against a pretty leaky defence 

Edited by demoncat

Brisbane had 64 inside 50s (still 5 less than us) and they kicked 70 more points than us. Unbelievable

Need to remember Port dropped something like 4 out of their last 5 games. Also during their winning streak mid season a number of those wins were under 8 points. I still think we can take them, time will tell.

🤔 Isn’t it only called a man-crush when it’s a man crushing on another man? Regardless, not crushing on BBB in any way, shape or form. But unashamedly adore him. Everyone in the DA does and for very good reason. 


Port's defence is Pathetic, they were 2 players down, Powa's midfield is too light weight, Lycett is on one leg.

But Brisbane put them too the sword.

64 inside 50s against an already weak defence which then suffered a key injury (McKenzie) and then another injury, rendering them a player down for a half - funnily enough, the half in which Brisbane pulled away.

Compared with our 69 inside 50s against an elite defence.

Two totally different games.

Not exactly a like-for-like comparison.

David Zita on Fox Footy all but confirmed that the Brisbane prelim will be on the Saturday. Probably twilight.

Interestingly Port or GWS will cop a 6 day break into a prelim, as Collingwood did in 2018.

As much as we can’t stand Collingwood, they’ve earned the reward of getting the extra days break into the Gf if successful.

I was about to post the same thing - glad I read ahead. 
 

Wishing for miracles from here on in.

It's pretty unfair.

If Port wins next week, they'll be the higher ranked SF winner whether we or Carlton win, yet we/Carlton will get the "better" break into our prelim than they will.

You got lambasted by the same player who is eternally rude!??

So, whoever it is, he's a d'lander regular who reads your posts.

Interesting! :rolleyes:

I don't for a second believe we can't beat Brisbane in the prelim. It's clearly a much harder path to the GF than a home prelim against Port/GWS, and for that reason I'm of the view the loss to Collingwood renders our flag chance much, much lower than they'd be if we'd won, but I don't accept that Brisbane belting Port means they can't be beaten.

If we beat Carlton, we'll go to Brisbane with all the pressure on them. The last time they hosted a prelim in similar circumstances was 2020, and they choked and lost to Geelong. This is their 5th-straight deep run into September and they are yet to make a Grand Final, let alone win a flag. We'll be playing as the clear underdog for one of the rare occasions in the last three seasons and I like it like that.

But right now I don't care about Brisbane, I care about Carlton.

  • 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.

  • 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

    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.
