I’m sorry, but to not even score in a quarter is inexcusable. Especially considering that we were 3 goals up going into the last.

We were 3 goals up because we had the wind for 2 of the 3 quarters.

Freo scored 1 goal in the first and third. We scored 1 goal in the second. 

The game was going to tighten up in the last and make scoring in to the wind incredibly hard.

1 goal 4 in the 3rd quarter was where we lost it.

    Lost it in the 3rd quarter.  Didn’t take our chances. 
     

    Skills again were poor for most of the day 

     

    Too few were carrying the team. How must McNamara feel ?? She starred and has at least been a bright light this year.   

     By the way, 30 seconds and Kate Hore kicks it straight out of bounds in defensive 50. Very strange.  Panicked. Skill error was horrible.

    Over the last few years I've come to greatly admire Kate Hore's composure and leadership. That last minute from her was so uncharacteristic.
    She also didn't seem to be able to gather the group to resist Fremantle's momentum.

    A pretty bleak day for her, but hope she'll find a way to get the season back on track because it's pretty quickly going down the gurgles.

    Heading back to Melbourne. Feeling gutted and simply cannot understand the umpiring. It appeared that there were two completely different interpretations of the holding the ball rule. If Melbourne were tackled holding the ball if Freo was tackled ball it up. Home state umpires do not work

    Amazing how these girls still cannot hit a target at times

    It was shocking, often running away from the player when coming out of defence instead of leading up.  Given how far they can kick weird decision making.  I was near the bench for the first half, a few comments from those there of the team not making the right decisions and they need to teach it at training.

    The female umpire was terrible, the guy was pretty consistent.

    Umpiring won them the game I thought you had to tackle them to get holding the ball. Massive game against Essendon if we are 1 and 4 it's season over.

    • 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.
