1965 Hawks had one flag we had 12. 60 years later they have won 12 more and Dees one. Hawks have won a flag every decade since the 60s. 2023 they finished 16th with there decade winning sequence surely ending. Now back in contention. Go Lions

    Very good point.

    Unfortunately.

    The umpiring has reached a new low in this game. Seriously they are paying what’s not there and missing the obvious! Paying holding the ball when you take the ball and get immediately hit front on, no prior, no chance to release, but it’s a free, then guys taking on the tackler, get tackled and then try to hand ball, it’s play on.

    Lions kicking themselves out of this, they should be 7 goals up at three quarter time. Suspect the Hawks will Walz home here.

    Absolutely.

    They should also bring back the abuse rule.

    Now for Adelaide to beat Pies and Brisbane to beat Cats 🤞

    So any clues on when the finals games for week 1 will be played?

    The top 6 can't move and if it is assumed that the Suns win, they'll finish 7th or 8th. Hawks will also finish 7th or 8th (depending on percentage)

    Do they kick things off with a Thursday night match as what has happened previously?

    I'll have a go ...

    Thursday - Cats vs Lions QF

    Friday - Freo vs Hawks/GC Suns EF

    Saturday Arvo - GWS vs Hawks/GC Suns EF

    Saturday Evening - Crows vs Pies QF

    Crazy to think since the 2021 GF the Dogs have had only two finals appearances and no finals wins yet they extended Bevo while we sacked the coach.

    I reckon their board definitely jumped the gun on the decision.

    He brought the attention on himself, so he gets no sympathy there. Then his club argued that his mental health would be severally damaged by the impact of what he did - which the AFL bought and shortened his suspension. Then he goes to Europe on a holiday.

    The AFL couldn’t hold its nerve, and then he made them look like fools. It doesn’t pass any measure of credible punishment.

    No sympathy from me either. But, he’s a young guy, if he is struggling with his mental health (regardless whether it is self inflicted or not), I don’t see any issues with him escaping the spotlight for a bit (it also allows the club to concentrate on finals). And to be fair, the AFL do an amazing job of making themselves look like fools all the time; they don’t need Adelaide to assist with that!

    I reckon she’s right. The Crows successfully argued that Rankine’s mental health was in a poor place and the AFL took a week off his suspension as a result. 2 days later he boards a plan to Europe for a holiday.

    It makes a mockery of what they told the AFL, including the support he needed.

    Yep agree. How about he sticks around & support his teamates that he has let down & train hard.

    Apparently he's in Italy. So what about these so called medical issues that was factored in?

    I think the Crows/Pies game will be on Thursday or Friday 'Macca'...it's probably the big game of the 4.

    What gets me is all the spin from everyone in the club is that he's deeply sorry and will accept whatever comes his way.

    Then they fight it tooth and nail.

    What a load of...

    Yeah, you nailed it, rjay

    Interesting that we get the 2 QF's on the Thursday & Friday with the losers of each QF hosting SF's on the following Friday and Saturday evening

    At a guess, I reckon the winner of the Thursday QF will host the PF on the Friday evening with the winner of the Friday QF hosting the PF on Saturday twilight (?)

    So apparently the dogs still have to rock up to training tomorrow as normal because they're still in the 8.

    It would feel weird because in your head you know essendon aren't beating the GC.

    • 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.
