Axed defender Daniel Bell was given a reprieve, coming into the 18 before the seven-listed interchange players.

"Belly was a little unlucky to miss out on a spot in our side," Monaghan said.

"He was the obvious person to come into our 25."

Bad luck for Chip. Only set to miss the one game though which is good. Our matchups down back do look much better now with Collingwood's small forward line. This is the second game in a row we've brought someone into the side from outside the squad of 25.

    I think it's fair to say that Daniel Bell will be rather committed on Monday...

    I'm not completely unhappy with this.

    He played well in this game last year, and maybe able to hold Didak or Davis.

    Ahh, well that explains it then. Poor Frawley.

    Is there a penalty for bringing in someone outside the squad of 25? We've done it 3 times now, so I'm hoping we're not forking out money each time.

    Glad Bell's in, sad Frawley's out but hopefully that means rivers will play.

    Maybe my memory's gone, but didn't Bell get a reprieve last week?

    I tend to agree whole heartedly In light of Bail's remark as to "whom wil lstep up " this may well be the games that seals Bell's future one way or another.

    the lad has his moments.. but moments are required..its game after game after game.

    Ball's in your court Daniel

    Bell might be struggling for form, but Bell has NEVER shown anything but 100% commitment.

    And if Yze, Bruce and White are getting a game this week, Bell is not the only lucky one.

    Chip was just starting to build some form!

    Bell will look to lock down a spot. He should be at this best come Monday.

    • 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.
