    I know they would have got a lot more money playing at optus, but they could have played under the roof at marvel & would have probably won

    Will Schofield asked Luke Jackson about him and Darcy going up against the premier ruckman in the competition in Tristan Xerri, and Jackson began his response with "Yeah, Xerri's probably a top two ruckman in the comp."

    Made me laugh because we know who Jackson thinks the premier ruckman in the competition is. His future teammate.

    We sold multiple home games to Brisbane and the rest of the comp complained.

    Seems that sales are the norm but it should only be for a "neutral" ground.

    The WA govt buying Freo a home game was not a great look.

    Then again the SA govt bought one for Adelaide and Port

    I hated selling Home Games to Brisbane, i don’t care what the Financial gains were.

    Find an alternative Income Stream

    Same with the NT, i have no problem spending time up there during preseason, but selling Home Games is just not right.

    We give ourselves a disadvantage every Season

    I know balance isn't your strong suit but you should at least try some.

    Xerri getting 0 disposals in the last qtr while the game was on the line and only 3 for the second half is why the AA selectors can't choose him. He just doesn't have that match winning capability like Gawn does. Once the ball leaves clearance, he basically has zero influence around the ground.

    Xerri was clearly injured. Watch him walking out of the 3/4 time huddle.

    Don't worry you're not alone as all the commentators missed it too.

    I’ve raised this before about North Melbourne but if we had their clinical accuracy we’d be $1.02 favourites to win the flag.

    Out of 14 games they’ve had one occasion whether they’ve kicked more behinds than goals and they still managed 10.11.

    That's interesting, he didn't look too bad with his tap work in the last qtr and I haven't seen any reports in the post match about him being injured.

    Right. Time to let a bee out of my bonnet.

    Tom McCarthy.

    Just shy of his 25th birthday, taken in the mid-season draft.

    Close to nil salary and almost as little 'investment' in his development by the AFL system over the years.

    Had an actual real-person job until about four weeks ago.

    31 disposals, at 93% efficiency, NINE intercepts, just short of 600m gained.

    Clearly BoG for his side and possibly for the game.

    So my question, with additional reference to other second-tier upgrades as well as top-performing kids, is...

    What is the $20-30m a year, per club, of player salaries and football department budget actually getting?

    • 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.
