I was there. If you weren’t whats your excuse? Want other clubs to respect us and stop saying we don’t turn up? Get off your [censored] and stick fat!

    Oh get off your soapbox. Some people have valid reasons why they can’t attend. If you put in an appearance hope you enjoyed yourself.

    It should have been a day game, and the Essendon game under the roof a night game.  Or the Q clash.   Terrible schedule from the AFL. The weather report said likely hail.

     

    But we were there. I drove from Shepparton

    Severe mental illness and not earning enough money will do it. 
     

    Happy you’re able to go but some of us struggle every day just to survive.

    Buy a membership every year for me and my daughter, live In Ballarat, but never attend night matches. Daughter not interested in footy, so it’s a donation.

    Not only do I not need an excuse not to go to a game, I certainly don’t need to explain to you why I didn’t.

    Ps. We won a Grand Final with bugger all loyal MFC supporters there. Tonight’s loss was due to numerous factors, the sparse crowd was not one of them.

    If you don't think a crowd of 40k screaming Melb fans wouldn't have an impact. It says more about you.

    So you think 40k fans would have meant we didn't go 8-0 in centre bounce clearences in the last quarter??

    Or maybe 40k fans would have meant Tom McDonald doesn't get outmarked twice by Hogan in thr last quarter which results in goals?

    Right.

    I live 800kms from the MCG but I understand why some choose not to go. But under 20k was a shock to see.

    I think your logic is sadly askew.

    Didn’t GWS win the game with even less supporters present ?

    And you know what you can do with your whimpy vomit emoji !

    • 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.
