It really is incredible that Sydney have been on Top all year, but their First Quarters have been so consistently bad!!

They could be out in Straight Sets this year if Teams Jump them early 

Straight Sets John doesn’t have the same ring to it.

    Hawks play such an exciting brand that is great to watch.

    Sam Mitchell has them primed for the next couple of years.

    If they sneak into 7th or 8th on this form, this year, look out, could be 2016 all over again. They are playing like the Pies last year. Full of confidence and running hard. They have a number of goal scoring midfielders and add the goal scoring small to medium forwards, all in form. With the Swans seemingly dropping away, this really is a gap year, with no genuine standout sides for the flag. The team coming into the finals, in form has a real chance.

    Beveridge must be sitting back laughing at all the arm chair critics, he's had a plan and stuck to it despite an unbelievable amount of noise. Feels like Goodwin's career parallels his, wins a flag, receives constant sniping despite being the Dog's most successful coach just like Goodwin has been since Smith. Kudos to him, he dropped the blokes who didn't want to stick with the plan, has come up with a solid defense and now they look ace. Lobb and Jones are looking like Lever and May. If we don't win am more than happy for the Dogs to win and stick it up every media critic who have had Bevo in their sights. Carlton are defensive phonies. Freo and Brisbane look dangerous, Swans have got speed wobbles but not jumping off them. Not sure what when wrong with North, don't respect Stewart at your peril.

    Hawthorn are playing very good football, their tackling and pressure has been fantastic. 

    So annoying, isn’t it?!

    Very bloody annoying. They might not make finals but they’re much closer to making them than I like. I don’t hate Hawthorn has much a few other clubs but I could do without seeing them win another final in my lifetime.

    The difference between Bevo and Goodwin is the players love Goodwin.

    I'm not saying that's good or bad. History is littered with cosches the players didn't like who were successful

    Lady Luck is a cruel mistress too. Re whether Bevo is loved or not, feels like he had a few scallywags to deal with, whereas Melbourne's better players seem like strong culture setters. Out of interest who are your examples? Barassi/Mathews? I loathed Malthouse but people who were inside said he was the Horse whisperer at Collingwood when it came to dealing with players. I still feel like he was part of a Collingwood plot to make Carlton bad. Tommy Hafey didn't get the Pies over the line but jeez they were up for a long time, he wasn't popular in the club with players.

    When Simon Goodwin does the same thing, he's derided by some for being stubborn and inflexible.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • 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.
