For all the doom and gloom, we are still in this. Massive rocket needed at half time. 

Totally agree, as usual we're competing and defending well and can win this and then the same old thing.

Gotta ask about selection decisions again and our forward set up.

Fritsch seems to have the confidence of a 16 year old boy in a brothel.

Schache did not chase his opponent at one point

We also aren't physical enough. A number of times we didn't put body on opponents to protect their team mates who had possession.

Salem seems to be the only player right now who has consistently clean foot skills.

    Too many passengers. 2Q thoughts:

    - Thank goodness for Windsor

    - Oliver looks undercooked

    - Gawn doing well

    - ANB, Salem and Howes playing well

    - Laurie and Schache having a mare

    I have given up on Laurie, not sure he'll get too many opportunities this season.

    Petraca has to play like Dustin Martin, he isn't at the moment. Too scared to have a crack at goal.

    Laurie, not impressed.

    JVR needs to do something in the 2nd half.

    Disagree. Players are having cracks at goal and missing when they should be handing it off to players in better positions. That's nerves. They all want to be the man to fix our forward line issues, when the way to do it is to hit someone in a good spot with low pressure on them so they can kick it. It's not a hard concept to grasp but in the heat of the moment we all seem to go to pot and spray it.

    My kingdom for a genuine CHF...

    2022  2023  &  ?

    Is JVR playing as a CHF or a deep forward?

    Gotta be the worst half of footy I’ve ever seen Trac play.

    Schace is too meek, can’t see him ever changing.

    Looks slippery as hell out there

    Disappointed that we debut Billlings as sub, particularly after our media team made a big deal over our three debutants this game. Surely he deserved his spot after the praccies over a couple of others out there.

    Yep. Bring Billings on ASAP

    The finger did look to flicker as the ball passed through, not like we deserve much to be honest.

    It was clearly touched.

    Can’t believe we are that bad yet only 7 behind. The SCG is such a horrible ground, so congested. Awful game

    I dont think Fritta could hit the proverbial barn door even if he is locked in th e barn.

    Trac needs to do something

    Debutants ok

    May fantastic

    JFC I am sick of those finger nail goal reviews from 40 meters! They all go against us. I don’t think the Swans even claimed a touch.

    And for the life of me I didn’t see a single finger on ANB’s goal. Not sure how they made that decision so quickly. 

    I’m glad I’m not the only one, sickeningly BT was the only one that actually said “hold on I’m not seeing a finger move there”. All for the decision changing when it’s blatantly clear, but to me there wasn’t absolute evidence of a touch.

    It's so ridiculous. They seem to be being tricked by the lighting changes as the hand and fingers rotate as the ball passes, plus there's the shadow from the ball. A terrible blight on the game to overturn decisions on such inconclusive evidence.

    Goody should put him on early in the 3rd for Laurie. Why wouldn't you exchange an ammo's level player for a proven silky mid with great skills?

    I can’t stand the media orchestrating the AFL’s agenda. Why no replay of the ANB touched goal? It’s a huge call, show it.

    Same old problems throughout the first half.

    Forward line almost non-existent. Too many long bombs, with Van Rooyen constantly outnumbered and outmarked. Chandler and Spargo totally ineffective.

    Laurie managed four fumbles in two minutes.

    Fritsch off target with his kicking and dropping marks.

    Gawn unable to dominate.

    Defence the only bright spot, with Howes looking solid.

    If Goody doesn't come up with a plan B, we are cooked for tonight.

    Incredible decision, just guess work.

    Fritta gets out muscled at every contest. No body strength at all. So frustrating 

     

    The umpires call was a goal and it was over ruled. Wrong!

    • 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.
