    I would think commentators who don't see all the games every week, would probably just make a decision based on what they may have viewed that round. Carlton had a crack this week, we didn't. That may change next week.

    Yep, carlton at least really had a dip.

    l really have trouble understanding how they are so fragile mentally, they need a hardarse coach, ND was too soft on the leaders and Riley is a clone

    Gibbs and Murphy are both going to be excellent midfielders, I'm not sure that any of our young guys are in their league.

    Yep. I heard it. Hard to believe isn't it? Or maybe as Demons supporters we are blind to the deficiencies of our list. Very little in the way of KPP's, a distinct lack of competitiveness, a lack of on field discipline and an amazing ability for senior players to make public comments about issues which should be kept in house. Our lack of on field leadership is abundantly evident. Unfortunately, Jakovich could well be right.

    Mclean and Sylvia are the same quality as murphey and gibbs...

    i maintain that we have 3 potential A-graders of our list, mclean, sylvia and bate.

    however i shoudlnt speak to soon, because 4 years ago we had 3 potential A-graders in Green, bruce and Johnstone...all 3 are bonafied B-graders

    I think Sylvia can be a fine player but there is no way that he is as good as Murphy currently is or has the potential to reach.

    McLean perhaps, but compare him to Murphy. Murphy has been tagged all year and he is still producing the goods, whereas McLean is struggling even though he's older.

    Bate I'm not convinced he has what it takes to be an elite player, he definitely didn't show it today.

    Totally agree, Jarka! You have a good grasp of where the list is at.

    Yeah saw that match yesterday on TV, they certainly had a dip and almost won. They are showing a better attitude than our stupid attitude

    @ this sad point in our history, I agree with Jaka

    I hope the next 5 weeks go quick, then lets get the Sheedy/McKenna revival plan into action.

    Something about years with 7 involved in them that haunts the Dee's.

    The entire 70's a disgrace

    1987 we where teased only to have our hearts ripped out @ the end

    1997 another disaster with a mid year sacking

    2007 this year rivals with the most painful in our history.

    Bring on 2008

    Gotta disagree with you Jarka, you're only basing Gibbs on his no.1 pick status and what he achieved in lower leagues, he hasn't shown enough at AFL level yet to have judgements placed on him on whether he'll be good or not.

    Murphy has more natural ability than Brock (Though it's like comparing Hird to Ricciuto) but Sylvia has more natural ability than any player on our list and dare I say bar Fev more than any on Carltons.

    And I'd have our list over Carltons any day of the week. I see Sheahan mentioned future A grade players for Carlton the other day and had Betts as one :wacko: .

    FYI I wouldn't have Flash as an A grade player, and he is far, far better than Betts.

    Wind the clock back 7 days and Carlton got rolled by 20 goals.

    Ratten did extremely well to turn a 20 goal defeat into a 10 point defeat in one week (against a good opponent).

    Suddenly they're gallant in defeat, instead of insipid.

    It's the demoralising 10+ goal losses that really hurt you in the long run.

    Throwaway comment from a boring commentator.

    I have to say that generally commentators don't trouble me too much, but I was less than enraptured with Jackovich throughout the call.

    This particular comment didn't really help improve him to me, but I guess he was watching a fairly inept performance from a team that should be better.

    That being said you do wonder if he was asked the same question while watching Carlton last week against the Lions, would he have said Melbourne?

    i watched the game with the brilliant foxtel active function 'audio' option.

    all i can say is, wow, when the commentators shut up, your head can relax and you can actually take in the game, it's fantastic. i just hope that it somehow gets registered and they get figures about how many people do the same. grybas' barracking in the last quarter was a joke, but then again, so is his commentary week-in week-out. you guys should do the same

    • 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.
