Umpiring as good as ever

    JVR had a pretty good game and that’s my one positive.

    Chin and Rivers have to play more midfield for the rest of the year together with Kosi.

    I hate this season and it can’t end soon enough

    All about clearances.

    We won the free count...marks... tackles...kicks... handballs but got smashed in the clearances.

    We played well for 10 minutes and that's about it.

    Our midfield needs a massive shakeup Oliver and Petracca giving us not much. Fritsch and Salem need to be moved on as well.

    Jefferson looks a bust, has no intensity. JVR has to be left forward for the rest of the season, bring someone else in to backup ruck FFS. Being in Campbell, Verrall, who cares just let Roo develop up forward.

    I was all for giving Jeffo the rest of the season to develop in the seniors but wowza, he is nowhere near ready. His intent and desire is questionable at best and he's constantly being pushed off the ball by defenders.

    His confidence looked shot at the end of the game.

    Just now, SPC said:

    Fritta, Oliver, Trac and Lever all up for trade.

    Lever finally played a good game. Tracca was good but went missing too long.

    It's players like Sparrow

    .. Fritta...Jvr and Jeffo...our fwd line that failed.

    Pretty decent in patches especially early until they piled on 8-1 goals or whatever. But that’s the same old story. It’s hard to know when we are going to turn up, and if we do, when, and how long we will turn off for

    Give the Melkman another five years, he is looking great.

    Just a reminder we are 5-11, haven't won a final since 2021 and most likely this will continue for the next 5-10 years.

    We have the lowest skilled midfield, drafted on contested ball - yet still get smashed in clearances.

    Enjoy!

    Maybe we can package them all up for a 2nd rounder?

    Poor ball use, the fellas gave it a shot, just not good enough.

    With basically a healthy list.

    Honestly I've found this season so draining and deflating to the point where I just don't really care. I know that sounds bad but that's just how it is.

    My only consolations from this game is that Pickett boosted his AA chances even further and Melksham continued his heart-warming resurgence.

    Goalkicking from set shots: Goals 6, Misses 7. If we had not missed those shots, we would have scored 36 more points. We would have scored 113 points in total and we would have won. I know it's coulda, would, should but other teams kick goals with set shots. Our 50pc rating V Adelaide was actually a good rating for us, but pathetic compared to the Pies, the Hawks and others.

    • 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.
