    Good thing you're not a betting man then

    Have played their 2nd half of the draw with teams below them and most of those at the Cattery

    The only time they've come up against decent opposition (GWS and Lions), they [censored] themselves

    Flat track bullies

    I hope you’re right cos I thoroughly dislike them and hope they don’t win it

    Don’t understand the the “fairytale” nonsense surrounding Gold Coast. 15 years to reach their first finals series and only propped up by the AFL throughout the years.

    It is literally akin to that soulless club called Man City. Without the corrupt Arab oil money pre 2008, they were nothing but yearly relegation fodder. Even if they didn’t get relegated, their ceiling was mid table. The “rivalry” with Manchester United wasn’t even a thing pre the oil invasion.

    Gold Coast making the finals is no achievement. It was long over due and should have happened 10 years ago. Hopefully Fremantle will do the job and knock them out.

    I remember a christmas in the Nazareth of the North (Manchester) in 1990ish and almost wore the wrong Color into the wrong pub…saved by my host. Seems that the rivalry has been real for a long time…

    pretty confident of that multi too

    Pies with no Hill or McStay. Daicos, McCreary, DeGoey all under injury clouds but will no doubt play.

    I hope they get flogged and go out in straight sets.

    Crows for mine so ANB has 2 flags. He played a great GF for us. Under huge pressure lot of the time.

    Or Freo because Gus' brother plays there.

    Underachievers Cats will go out again. Sure they make top 4 most years but have the stadium advantage in size and less than transparent issues. They should make top 4.

    record of 1 flag since 2012 with taxpayer park support in place is poor IMO.

    Dees on the right path to improve as a club currently IMO

    100% - yet, their coach avoids scrutiny, the players avoid scruity, the whole joint avoids scrutiny

    McStay omitted and Cox in.

    Go Adelaide

    Would love to be a fly on the wall at the Adelaide oval observing the "friendly banter" between Crow's supporters and the Magpie clan

    Either the cox selection will be a genius move & he'll kick 4 or 5, or it will be a complete flop & he won't touch it & get subbed out.

    Lets hope it's the latter

    Adelaide have 1 job tonight. They must not fail.

    They have a home final & the majority of the crowd support

    It's there captains 300th & Neal Bullens 200th

    It's all set up for them

    How’s the media on projecting the ‘brilliant move’ narrative for bringing in Mason Cox for McStay! ‘He’s a proven finals performer’ etc etc.

    thankfully our own Gazza Lyon had none of it on 360.

    I’d be staggered if Cix isn’t subbed out at half time for his 3 disposals at 33%

    Does a team mate playing a milestone game makes everybody else play better or try harder?

    I doubt that it's much of a factor once the ball is bounced.

    What do other posters think?

    It's a great narrative post match - and fundamentally flawed. If you're having to intellectualise doing it for someone, whilst you are out there, then you're not 'on task' and present to what's happening.

    I think because it's there captain you'd want to make it memorable for Tex tonight.

    I mean when ed played his 200th this year I wasn't thinking the players need to lift for him but maxy on the other hand you'd hope they would which I think they did.

    I also just want adelaide to win tonight so any motivation they can find to beat the Pies is fine by me

    I fully support this sentiment. Carna Crows.

    edit Jordan Dawson is their captain, not Tex. He last held the job in 2019.

    Reckon Adelaide, Brisbane, GWS and Freo win week 1.

    In terms of other teams winning a flag, I don't want nor couldn't care less for anyone to win.

    But I especially don't want a VIC club to win, so I'm ok with Adelaide, Freo, GWS or Brisbane winning it. (not even bothering with GC as they won't get past Freo)

    It’s even easier for me…..anyone but Collingwood

    Makes zero difference IMHO.

    I also don’t like the “Do it for (insert name of retiring player for example)” thing. I remember when our beloved Jimmy passed away, in the lead up to the following match there was so much pressure on our players to “Win for Jimmy.”

    • 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.
