Only ourselves to blame. Trac huge.

But it's the old forward-line woes again, it's still a work-in progress and was always going to get found out by players like Weitering.

    Carlton are ordinary. We just needed someone to stop the rot in the first quarter, and sadly no one did.

    Viney was the only one from start to finish. Thank goodness.

    Petracca absolutely huge. Very proud of the comeback and another minute we would have won. After giving up 6 and looking completely lost it was a fantastic fight back. Not often proud of a loss but that’s as close as I’ll ever get. Umpires can eat a bag of you know what’s.

    Left it too late. 

    More scoring shots.

    And ultimately lost by a cheat dangerous tackle call. 

    Really gutted this could have been ours.

    So who would you blame if he missed the goal then.

    Been a work in progress for 3 years. Did love Roos and Traccs aggression forward. Petty and Fritta should watch the tape

    Geez that was frustrating to watch. Diabolical for periods but whilst the margin was six goals still thought we were a chance if they tired. Then when the momentum swung our way we went back to our one wood of missing easy goals before having enough possession to win two games of football in the last quarter. Only Melbourne.

    Not sure it’s the “forward line blues”. It’s more the entry into the forward half that was pathetic tonight.

    Where was that urgency from the start?

    Sounds stupid given a 0.0 to 5.0 first quarter but I really didn’t feel like the score reflected the effort. It was our usual arm wrestle first quarter but the score somehow didn’t reflect.

    This game was a freak anomaly for mine. I write it off as a disappointing loss that we should have won and move on.

    Cheated. 
    actually cheated and dudded 

    i [censored] hate this league 

    Thanks GC Dee.

    I thought the 11 frees in the first was an utter disgrace.

    An actual blight on the game.

    Ok we played poorly but take away Mays touched ball the only one the video can't decide on and that cheating effort that got a free for dangerous tackle and we Won by two goals.

    So the umpiring did cost us a game no matter how we played.

    It's a absolute poor effort by the umpires tonight.

    Maybe the Afls needs to ask questions about this one and how the blues lead the free kick differential by so much.

    It really is disappointing to see a game ruined by such poor performances from them.

    Dock their pay or check if they have betting accounts.

    AFL will come out and say they made a mistake on that sling tackle free kick

    Which means we won, again, against Carlton, except for the umpiring.

    unbelievable.

    Yes they will, would have most likely made a difference.

    But the first half was shocking in the forward line. Were their defenders just have an amazing game or we wilted in the rain? 

    Too often we all went fort he ball with no players behind the pack in the wet,, that is where Kozzie and chandler should have been.

    21 scoring shots to 11 after one minute into the 2nd quarter. That’s so disappointing to not be able to have someone stand up early.

    We miss Gus. I know it sucks but we are clearly down a quality midfield rotation.

    • 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.
