Petty, BBB, JVR and Fritta a combined 0 marks between them.

Well Fritsch did have a mark but the Brisbane player illegally chopped his arms.

    It all comes down to the midfield. We are getting smashed in clearances and contested possessions. That’s the game. 
    You can’t blame the forwardline when the midfield is not able to win the ball.

    Embarrassing

    Look very flat, 2 hard games with 5 day breaks … not sure why we never  have tall fwds  when the ball is going fwd 

    BBB should be deep inside the 50 and trying to attract Harris Andrews attention. Instead we keep hoping that JVR can compete with a veteran Backman.

    What's disappointing about that is that he used to clunk everything for Casey.

    He's OK when the ball comes in soft but not when it comes in with pace.


    Tall key forwards Petty BBB JVR - one solitary disposal to half time.

    Add Frittata - 2 disposals between them

    2 kicks in total for the half for Brown, Tholstrup, Fritsch, Windsor, vanRooyen, Pettty combined😱

    Makes you wonder how Brisbane's midfield can be so superior, but they are killing us! Everything else flows from this.

     

    As a team performance this is about as bad as it gets, hardly anyone winning their position can't see us getting out of this

    We look tired;  BBB, Petty Billings nothing

     

    Shot to bits.

    We butchered two attacking thrusts in that last little peroid.

    We had them cold and reduced the deficit by a couple of goals.

    Terrible football.

    No it's his marking technique full stop.

    Well he's two disposals above Bbb. .Fritta and Petty the latter who has had zero touches.

    Petty no touches in a half.....hmmm.

    Joeboy. Great stuff. Name names. Running in circles.  JVR has dropped 15 marks in a row.

    This is simplistic. We are down in all areas aside from goal accuracy compared to last year and we are getting smoked by a team that is going moderate to good in all areas aside from accuracy. Just so happens there slotting them tonight.

    Easy shots given.

    You may be right. I do know that he can't be dishing up what he has been. Take the damn game on. There's a point in time where we may as well give Jefferson an earlier than expected crack.

    I think Norf put up a better fight against them last week. 

    We are kicking a score similar to a Hawthorn or North tbh.

    The inexperience of our youngsters, Windsor, Howes, JVR and McVee, is showing.
    And our experienced forwards, Brown, Petty, Fritter, are out of position when the ball comes in.

    Clarrie is obviously hampered by his hand and is pretty much useless tonight. 


    Agree we’ve been [censored], but I’m ready to jump the fence and deck one of these useless umpires.

    * violence apparently doesn’t solve anything. I might find out later.

    And when we win it we give it back.

    Did anyone else get the feeling we were talking up our wins in Adelaide too much.

    Like we had just one a final.

    Clearly we were very happy with these wins 

    So much so we have given up on this one 

    A very poor performance.

    Very poor 

    From the top down.

    And a shout out to Kozzie...well played sitting on the sidelines.

    Move Petty back & T Mac forward. Worth a try at least.

    Was thinking exactly that.

    Gotta make a move when absolutely nothing is working up forward.

    • 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.
