    Loved ANB. He doesn't deserve to have to endure three straight set exits in a row. Imagine how he is feeling right now.

    Come back to us any time you wish Alex. We would welcome you back with open arms and gratitude.

    Don’t miss the 57% efficiency..miss the locker influence though

    So the four preliminary finalists this year:

    1. Geelong - 14 prelims in the last 19 years, 4 flags

    2. Brisbane - 5 prelims in the last 6 years, 1 flag

    3. Collingwood - 10 prelims in the last 19 years, 2 flags

    4. Hawthorn - 7 prelims in the last 18 years, 4 flags

    They have also won 14 of the last 24 flags (soon to be 15 of the last 25).

    Not the most exciting, novel or motivating final four.

    Possibly the most stale final four in modern times. Footy is in a pretty dire place at the moment. Probably more rule changes to come and ruin the game further. It's getting really tough to keep watching at this point.

    Yep, I'm completely switching off the AFLM from this point onwards. At least I have the luxury of living in Sydney, so I won't be confronted with any news about the barfworthy at worst, or boring at best, AFLM prelims and granny.

    It would be nice to see the big O get a crack at a GF this year after hurting his shoulder last year & really getting behind his mates & supporting them well.

    Definitely not a fairytale premiership on the docket this year from the list you’ve provided.

    Although Hawthorn have come along way since the first 2 rounds of 2023 when they lost by a combined 140 points and had a percentage of 40.

    In the scheme of things the Hawks are the only ones who have done it without help of father/sons farms Cotton on academies etc.

    In a comp where it's a matter of inches they all help.

    Only watched the first half but Lions definitely played a corridor game tonight. Good for them. Wish we had the players who could do the same

    I like the Suns, but thank heavens it’s not them with the responsibility to knock Collingwood off next week. I was hoping for a convincing Lions win, since they can probably beat Collingwood, but I don’t think Gold Coast would have.

    Their rise up the ladder coincided with the arrival of Dear.

    Tonight's the first time I've really watched out for Sam Flanders and I like what I see.

    He would make us a better side. Diddly doodly do it, Demons.

    His dyed mo is a slight worry, but get him for his name if nothing else.

    Dear’s played 9 games this year. Didn’t play last night through injury.

    Not sure he’s all that integral to what they’re doing.

    Yep.

    And then look at the upcoming FA/trade period:

    1. Brisbane will get Draper and Allen for no cost, and are in the running to get Ridley

    2. Geelong seems to be the likely landing spot for Rowan Marshall

    3. Hawthorn is the likely landing spot for Zach Merrett

    Can’t see any of them not being in contention again next year (Collingwood I’m a touch less sure of given their age).

    HQs 3 favourite Vic teams all make the prelims. 7 also very happy their pre-season hype team Hawthorn are there. 🤮🤮🤮

    We could have potentially put a halt to the worst 4 possible prelim matchups.

    If we didn’t choke and beat the Pies, Adelaide vs GWS first QF and one would make the prelim and potentially get the week off and make the GF. That would have left Pies and Hawks to kill each other in the Elimination final.

    Not a guarantee, but at least there was a chance of having a watchable Grand Final.

    Honestly, what a choke by Melbourne and Adelaide to breathe new life into the Pies. They were on their knees and both clubs played them back into form.

    26 games since he arrived last year, 35 goals, 66 percent game time, 3.7 percent score involvements. His stats are similar Pickett's. Makes him pretty integral in my view.

    • 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.
