I'm seeing lots of takes that we'll win this by 5-10 goals. 

I get it, we have been going fairly well - but we are playing the Crows at home, and they are under fire with a poor start to atone for. Regardless of whether they have been poor, those games don't matter. This game is what matters. They have played us very well recently and I'm not that bullish. Sure, we CAN win by those margins - but so could they. Against us - a few injury clouds, a 5 day break, hostile crowd - these aren't nothings.

I'm not saying we won't win, or that we can't win by those margins, I'm just kind of in awe of the confidence shown by others. I'll be happy for us to grind out a gutsy, team-effort win against a decent oppositioin at their home. 

Dees by 10 points, holding them off late.

    The 5 day break is a furphy . Adelaide had a 6 day break and had to travel back late on the Friday night. We don't have to travel as we are already in Adelaide.

    Fitness won't be a problem for us.

    At the airport and can’t wait for this weekend. First time to the Adelaide Oval for me so looking forward to seeing what the fuss is all about.

    The only downside is I have been roped into attending the Pies match on Sunday with my husband. I told him I cannot promise I will not be hurling abuse at he who shall not be mentioned. Will definitely be hoping the Hawks get up.

    Go Dees 

    I dislike them with rare  intensity go Hawks.

    Would have loved to see the Kolt unleashed in this game...just hope Viney is okay.

    Yes I thought the Kolt might get his chance this week with Chin being doubtful.

    Well there was absolutely no need to give us a 5 day break. We did not need to play Port on Saturday night or open Gather Round on the following Thursday. It's just the AFL screwing the clubs they don't care about.

    Given the idiotic round 0 fixture as well, it would have been very easy to give us a proper break in between games this early in the season, not to mention skip the back to back interstate games.

    The AFL does whatever it wants. Always has.

    Every club gets a 5 day break at least once in the year. Maybe the club decided this would be a good place to put it, and actually requested this. It does allow the squad to stay in SA the two weeks while still minimising the whole length of the overall trip for the club and families. I haven't heard Goodwin or anyone else from the Melbourne side complaining about this situation.

    I agree. However your last sentence doesn't add weight to that position. When do you ever hear Goodwin or anyone else complain publically liek soem clubs do?   (I just hope they do it behind closed doors when appropriate.)

    I think we definitely do.... which is probably why we finally get a home game v Geelong at the G and no travel down to Kardinia! Think they've requested this for 20 years straight....

    Was this done via public complaining? No 

    We asked for it privately for 20 years and my understanding is that we finally got it, but were screwed in other ways such as being one of the unlucky ones to play an SA team in gather round, and travel to Perth twice.

    Have a look at Carlton’s fixture and tell me the AFL isn’t frothing at giving them a flag this year.

    On the flip side if we win the prize is big: 4 points and two away trips killed in one 😄

    Geelong also have a 5 day break and they have to travel, and played in ridiculous weather with a delay. We are not that hard done by.

    If it takes as much as 20 years to get something done privately, perhaps a bit of public whinging would not go amiss.

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
