2025 1st Quarter Ladder

Anyone else laugh when they saw Carlton at the top of the ladder?

No shock that in 4 of our 5 wins we've been in front at quarter time.

The quarter time score essentially tells us if we're going to win or lose a game of footy this year.

The outliers being that in the North game we were in front at quarter time. Conversely in the Brisbane game we were behind by 3 goals. Quite a shocking (in a positive way) result that we beat Brisbane.

    I have a suspicion that if you sliced our season so far into thirds, we'd be absolute bottom to start, then a little inside the top half for the second slice, and most recently sitting around 14th.

    But yeesh, Carlton... between this and the cascading injuries you'd have to wonder if they've completely bollocksed the conditioning program.

    I haven't seen fatigue and injury hit a club this decisively since [redacted]

    Mate, injuries no excuse. They are just 💩

    Dogs ravaged by injury this year, Brisbane not as much but managing well, GWS are thereabouts and even Collingwood last season were only percentage away from the 8 in spite of being gutted with personnel and injury issues.

    There is a reason why their inbred fans have waited 30+ years for another flag. Carlton deserve nothing better.

    First quarters matter.

    How often do you win when down 4 or 5 goals at QT? It happens but it's a low percentage.

    Carlton is an outlier altogether, for whatever reason they don't have the fitness or mentality to sustain their efforts.

    This is sounding like the brontosaurus skit.

    For a long time our intensity in the first 10 minute of the game will indicate whether we are “ON” and are in for a good day at the footy.

    So the data supports the experience of a mediocre season.

    WTF is wrong with the Blues? 154% and 11-4

    that is hilarious

    • 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.
