GAMEDAY: Rd 17 vs Adelaide

Contest behind the ball has been amazing. Front half has been pretty abysmal from the middle of that second qtr.

Not winning a center clearance is killing us because we can't set the ground up.

 

For the first 10 mins, we made great decisions and used it well, stuck to the plan.

Somewhere it changed, I'm saying we look gassed because its the only explanation. We hardly laid a tackle for the latter part of that quarter.

Almost double the uncontested ball, we are sticking to the plan well, but the worry is the moment Adelaide dialed the pressure up we didn't go with it.

Looks like a young team that drifts in and out. At least we have the lead.

    Not fit enough to play the uncontested game

    I really do wonder about the way we play out of the back half.

    We almost always go back and all the way around the boundary on the opposite side.

    It's a really big slow switch with loads of long running to only get from one half back flank to the exact spot on the other side where we then kick to a contest.

    Lots of running into space but no-one really wants to take the corridor and go direct.

    Is it game plan or a lack of confidence that we can thread the needle with accurate kicking.

    Anyways we're in it through better goal kicking.

    Hoping for a great finish, if we're fit enough

    What was the difference in the first 12 minutes? Pickett in the middle. What then happened Viney went in. When will we learn.

    We also started to play too safe and slow out of half back after making a few blues. They just need to keep backing themselves and go again.

    You’re no hall of famer Trac.

    I know these threads are always hostile but that’s a bit much, no?

    Norm Smith medal, 4xAA, champion of the club. Will give the hall of fame a real shake.

    I’m sure the panel will forgive him being tackled by Rory Laird once in a meaningless H&A game that time.

    Didn't get much from Oliver in the second.

    May been great. Lever good.

    He's been tagging Dawson extremely well.

    We were well on top mostly due to Tracca and Kozzie who unfortunately went very quiet for much of the second half of the second.

    Was KP taken off?

    Our pressure and skills dropped right off.

    Need much more from Sparrow and Oliver.

    Thanks for that.

    I would rather he just play as a ball getter.

    Could be better but also could be worse, guess the positive is at least we are ahead

    Up to Half Time:

    Set shots 11

    Goals 4

    Behinds 5

    Out on the full 2

    Now do the crows for comparison

    Despite the usual poor goal kicking which finally tightened and our fade away still a great effort to be leading against a top four team.

    Our best is good enough which is hard to fathom at times.

    It’s always the difference between best and worst that determine who is playing finals and who doesn’t

    You're right Brownie, always seems instinctive to take the outer side. Hopefully we can take a few more risks through the middle.

    A quarter of 2 halfs. The first half followed by the second half.

    Jefferson had a exciting moment 15 seconds into his first game. I haven't seen anything exciting since.

    Really disappointing.

    And has delivered zero finals wins in four years.

    Is he being tagged? 😀

    Well let's see how we go here.

    I'm actually tipping a win today

    Max has actually been quiet so if he lifts who knows.

    KP and Tracca to dominate 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.
