What they're saying down at 42 Bishopsgate Street

Max Max Gawn is the difference between us winning and losing, I’m not looking forward to seeing the hit out to advantage differential, if we do win it will be a Herculean effort. I’m hopeful but not expecting. Based on last years game vs Dees, and the fact he has been made an emergency, it wouldn't surprise me to see Baily come in as a late change to do a job on Gawn. I recall last year in the game where we beat them, Bailey put a lot of work into Gawn off the ball, he constantly blocked and bumped him and stopped him from easily running to positions to intercept- almost like a scragging tag. Really put him off his game and reduced his effectiveness, even if he didnt win the hit outs. Ill be looking for similar tactics to annoy the [censored] out of him and shift his focus. When it's such a big discrepancy in quality in ruckman it's actually easier to plan for. Midfield sets up to rove to Max's taps everytime and Baileys job was just to put some physicality into him Everything else Hough in the midfield is exciting because he isn't a panic merchant. Would seem a good matchup for Petracca We're not allowed to talk about weights anymore so I wouldn't know They are both beautiful on the inside. Well maybe not Trac after King's Birthday last year. Too soon? Sure I Saw Steven May wandering through the city last night. Didn’t expect to see Melbourne players in so early, thought they’d have flown in today. Unless he came in seperately. Did he take a swing at you? That's a good sign, when we beat them last I saw Gawn, and two other Demons walking along Railway Pde in West Leederville. Going to be really grim if we cannot put in a cracking showing. That being said, I think we do it to the Demons again with: May moving like a 60 year old McGovern Trac being Reid's bunny Gawn being Flyin's launch pad Fritsch burning his team mates left right and centre Petty being the biggest source of falling moisture on Optus this Saturday And most importantly, they won't have any footy boots after Oliver confused what was actually in the "Gear Bag", when he pinched off the bus before they left to go to the airport. Dees are the only team ranked worse than us in 4th quarters this season West Coast by 45. Harley 3 Votes. Owies to have a break out game. Oliver out is massive. He’s not had his greatest year but he’s their best clearance player by a mile. Not beyond realms of possibility we get up this week His clearances have usually involved blindly bombing it long to the oppositions defenders though. Coach has some inside knowledge on Melb, albeit a changed game style now. If we're gonna win a game in the first half of the season it's this week or next. Melbourne are barely going themselves Dees to leave the chocolate cake out and the Eagles to come out to play

Saw May in the city

Did he take a swing at you?

Now that’s funny

AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide
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
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
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.
