That’s what I was thinking. It defies logic how they have turned things around. They look so fit and strong too. Right balance of brains and braun

We are shocked by it because we never saw such a sudden shift in momentum under Goodwin's tenure. It was either all going right or all going wrong. We always needed a pre-season to reboot. Collingwood in 2022 and then 2023 (they lost to West Coast early in 2022 and looked destined for bottom 4 before eventually making a Prelim - it turned overnight for them). Lions in 2024 after starting 0-3 and being like 3-9 at one point. Hawthorn as well after being 0-5. We looked destined for a similar run this year when we were 5-6 and had just smashed Sydney. Instead we went 2-10 to end the year and rightfully sacked the coach. While Hawthorn's shift has been sudden, it is not really surprising when you really consider the pedigree and football experience of Mitchell. He just oozes success.

That killer instinct is so important. It gets you over the line in close games, and gets you belting anyone that even remotely buckles under pressure. As we saw tonight. I would fully expect Hawthorn to win next week.

I hope Rankine’s watching this. I hope the message is not lost on him. He’s not only homophobic, he’s stupid and he’s selfish. His teammates didn’t deserve this.

He has served his penalty. Lay off him.

Don’t think i’ve ever seen two worse finals from a top 4 team

didn’t even have a Quarter where they looked like it

You can't win finals without a midfield.

At least Geelong will have a challenge with the Hawks

One of those fkkers has to lose

Thanks all the same for your advice but yeah, not laying off him anytime soon.

This surely has to go down as the worst finals campaign in modern history. Total dumpster fire.

Port 2023 probably comes close but that's about it.

Fogarty played some of the worst finals I've seen for a forward (including Curnow).

That was bad but I think the general consensus was that they weren't going to trouble Collingwood or Brisbane. From memory they were sorta flat track bullies anyway.

Adelaide though... Before the Rankine case I was almost certain they'd make a preliminary final at minimum.

-31 CPs, -6 clearances, -21 inside 50s.

Their backline kept them afloat all year but when they heat went up Dawson was left to battle on his own.

For a side that opened the season scoring at will, they scored 67, 55 and 59 in their last 3 games against finals sides.

So the crows didn't win a quarter in both finals

Makes our 2023 finals series a work of art compared to what Adelaide dished up this finals campaign.

Ugh. A Geelong v Hawthorn prelim is a nightmare.

Also, Adelaide, wow. They’re on track to lose all 8 quarters of finals after finishing on top.

The good news is that one of them have to loose.

Also one of Hawks or Cats in the grand final.

Sad Jim Carrey GIF

First time in about 28 years I’ll be barracking for Geelong in a game of Australia Rules Football (v Hawks next week)

Poor ANB with 6 straight final losses

Apparently the record is 8. He's not far off breaking it...

There a real problem in SA. Both Port and Crom [censored] the bed in September at home. Amazing really.

  • 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.
