Its diabolical that Maric was omitted from that side.

And he mas missed selection this week also.

Wow.

The Port team is, apart from one or two, the same one which touched us up at AAMI last year. Against that the Melbourne side might have as many as ten different players take the field.

Perhaps we were tanking at the time?

IIRC Yze and White came back in.


We could really use white right now ha.

No we couldn't -- you think our ruck combination is dire now? That's because they haven't had time to develop.

Having White in the side instead would only prolong that development.

Spencer would not be getting a run if we had White in the side now..... Which, as ENforcer said, would lead to more problems down the track......

I am loving watching Jake Spencer out there learning his craft..... He is one of our most exciting prospects IMHO

 

This time round we are without Matthew Whelan, Colin Garland, Paul Wheatley, Simon Buckley, Austin Wonaeamirri, Jeff White and Adam Yze.

Carn Dees

You can add Newton, McDonald, Jamar and Bell to your list. That makes 11 in all. Half the team.

Its diabolical that Maric was omitted from that side.

Wow.

Maric missed last years game VS port adelaide due to school commitments.

Only half of that side will play tomorrow.

* 8 players are out injured;

* 2 players (White & Yze) have moved on and

* 1 player (Newton) will either be at the ground as an emergency or playing with Casey.

They're pretty extraordinary figures. Many other clubs only have 2 or 3 on their injury lists. We have others who are also injured or couldn't be considered because they're still building up fitness at Casey after coming back from injury (eg Robbo).

  • 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.
