    Are you talking about that semi last year? We may’ve panicked in the last two minutes but we didn’t gift them the win. The score review result gifted them the win when Tracc’s goal was deemed touched by Marchbank when it clearly wasn’t. 

    Yes we gifted them the win with our panicked play in the last. Couple of minutes,  we were exhausted but made errors in delivery,  umpiring errors happen. 
    We were still in front until we allowed them to hit the goals in the last minutes.

    Absolutely hate this season. Carlton missing out would have been a great consolation. Instead they’re probably going to beat Brisbane with all their players back and the media will fall in love with them again when all they’ve done is beat North and West coast over the last 6 weeks.

    Yeah, but half of the players that return to Freo end up coming back over here. Not wise to sledge him - could be wanting to come back in another couple of disappointing Freo years.

    Freo are going to really rue that 1 point loss to essendon. 

    Just watched the last 2 minutes if the marvel game. Wow what a finish. If I lost 8th spot in the final 12 seconds, I'd be crying to. 

    But had a feeling port would win.

    He wanted to get paid big dollars at Freeo. Going home would have meant allowing the MFC to negotiate with both WA clubs. 
     

    Let’s not gloss over Dogga’s dog act.

    In Round 18:

    • We were in the top 8
    • Carlton was 2nd
    • Fremantle was 5th
    • Essendon was 6th
    • Port was 9th, 2.1% behind us
    • The Dogs were 10th
    • Hawthorn was 11th, a game and 10% behind us
    • St Kilda was 15th, 4 wins and 14.4% behind us

    The help of a bottom 6 draw can be seen in Hawthorn.

    They got each of Richmond, North Melbourne and Adelaide twice. They went 6-0 against them.

    The way they play is very attractive and exciting, but it's also important to note that the only finalist they've beaten since Round 13 was Carlton two weeks ago, when they had no one on the bench in the second half, and they only played three finalists in total since Round 13 (lost to Geelong and GWS, beat Carlton).

    Safe to say Richmond, North and West coast will all struggle again next year so that could be 6-0 for us.

    ANB is leaving for family reasons because he has a wife and a child. He also isn’t telling us which SA club he wants to go to. 
    Let us not compare a single 20 year old chasing money and listening to mum, to ANB who gave us 10 years of service.

    Overall record against the finalists:

    1. Sydney: 6-3
    2. GWS: 6-6
    3. Collingwood: 6-6
    4. Port Adelaide: 5-3
    5. Geelong: 5-5
    6. Bulldogs: 5-5
    7. Adelaide: 4-1-8
    8. Hawthorn: 4-5
    9. Carlton: 4-6
    10. Melbourne: 4-7
    11. Brisbane: 3-5
    12. Essendon: 3-6
    13. Gold Coast: 3-7
    14. Fremantle: 3-8
    15. St Kilda: 3-8
    16. Richmond: 1-10
    17. West Coast: 0-8
    18. North Melbourne: 0-12

    So whilst the bottom 6 draw worked for Hawthorn, it did not work at all for North, who copped 4 of a possible 6 maximum repeat games against finalists (Carlton, Geelong, the Dogs and Hawthorn). 

    Adelaide had the roughest on this metric, with 5 of its 6 repeat games against finalists (Geelong, Port, Brisbane, Hawthorn and Sydney), meaning 13 of their 23 games were against finalists.

    Meanwhile Brisbane, despite making the GF last year, and Port, despite being a top 4 H&A side last year, ended up with just 1 of their 6 repeat games against finalists. Brisbane fared well getting Collingwood and us twice.

    It's obviously a rudimentary metric - part of the reason the finalists are finalists is because they beat the other sides. Also this doesn't take into account when a side won these games (e.g. of our 4 wins, 3 were in in Rounds 1-3).

    Exactly.

    ANB played his heart out till the end.

    Dogga phoned it in for the second half of 2022. And a lousy finals performance for someone of his talent.  Half an effort and we would have got over the line in at least one final.

    • 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.
