This short [censored] has to go

 

Chipping around half back and then creating a path through seems to be used a lot more than previous seasons.

Tackling and pressure excellent.

An uninspiring game, with few highlights, lots of spilled marks, lots of fumbling, and missed shots at goal.

May and Langdon excellent. Trac and Clarry looking really good.

Goalkicking - grrrrr...

Johnson looking handy.

Flat and uninspiring so far.

Our skills are appalling. Really hope we’re lulling them into a false sense of security only to switch it up in the second half.

    Billing’s can’t handle pressure. Gameplan is still a mystery, looks slow and uncertain 

     

    Dee Spencer is correct - we just don't move the ball. Zero run and carry....other than Koz there is no speed or dare. Devoid of ideas at half back because no one has the speed or creativity to create any space. 

    Very vanilla and boring so far

    So I assume Windsor is not playing HB?

    Slow ball movement = no space up the ground = turnovers = mounting scores against = lose the game.

    How can billings make that kick but miss two relatively easy shots on goal?

    How many psychologists can we fit in the soft cap?

    1.8 in nearly two quarters. 

    Not only is that woeful but who the hell is our goalkicking coach??

    I thought we were going to be more aggressive with our ball movement?

    This is uninspiring. A praccy is a perfect place to trial dash and dare! If we lose, we lose, it’s ok, but if we lose playing safe and boring like much of last year, what’s the point? 

    Freo embarrassed us TWICE last year.

    What’s the point of this? 

    What’s the message?

    We've made zero adjustment with our ball movement.  It's the same as 2024.

    Look at the way Freo transition off half back compared to us.

    Another year of slow boring football.

    He's never done it before....

    Horrible kicking in front of goal to have 1.5 from set shots inside 50, how do you coach for that

    I was hoping to see at least a glimmer of a new game plan

    We are getting towelled up again

    • 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.
