That one has a very simple explanation. Kicking accuracy, we should've been 5 goals on top of them at 3 QTR time.

Which will continue to be our undoing going forward just as it has in the past.
Look at Collingwood last night.
You just know they aint gonna miss.
Us on the other hand .......

Good sides take their opportunities.

    We’re going to have to be at our absolute best on KB. Massive pressure is the only way to beat them.

    And kick accurately.

    People are underestimating the Pies' game plan and how it has changed. They don't rely on contested ball; they rely on holding position at both ends of the ground and going heavy on turnovers. Guys like Sidebottom and the Daicos brothers drag their opponents into the contest, then back out of it, thus becoming free and unopposed to move the ball with speed. You really need to play the Pies man-to-man, not giving them free space to move in. It will be interesting to see how we play against them.

    Hard at contest, clean with hands, goals not points, let them chase us, our think our style stacks up. Long down the line is death against them. They force you into that so you gotta go at times but you’ve also gotta hold, I think that’s what we’re doing!

    Two results our way this weekend so far in the "Impossible Dream" Quest. Today's games are again pivotal with a Freo loss and and an upset win by the Tigers over GWS very useful.

    Not sure about Swans v Suns. Head says Suns simply to further remove Sydney as a finalist but for the absolute optimist (not me) you could make a case for a Suns loss

    Yes, we have been doing that a lot more, not quite there yet with skill levels, but it has also allowed us to move the ball into the forward line with different options.

    Alex Pearce is a close second. One example: Rory Lobb’s first game as a Bulldog, in the centre circle before the game even started Pearce instigated a roughing-up session on Rory and of course the other nearby Dockers joined in. What sort of an example is that to set for your young players?

    Suns are well off so far. hopefully they can find their groove. freo a direct competitor for a finals sport so don't want them to win.

    Freo vs Suns; Corey Wagner is one of Freos best so far!?!?! Couldn't believe it. Didn't he play for us years and years ago?

    As much of a slog as it is I am finding it entertaining. Fremantle are an incredibly frustrating team, big gap between their best and worst.

    those 2 freo goals to end the 3rd quarter have them in the box seat.

    we'll see what the suns are made of now

    Spot on.

    I have only seen long highlights of last night’s game, but what i saw was incredible, they had spare players everywhere, down the spine

    It was a Horrible Sight

    Freo's defence and 2nd efforts in the wet have been really good. They are getting an extra player to most contests.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
