    Wasn't on for all that long unfortunately, about 10 minutes... They covered the Jurrahcane, Watts being played on QB and the his development and 'earning' his first game, the tanking debate and how he as a coach deals with it... That was about it really, not a whole lot else...

    What is this trying to rename our Indigenous Hero Western &/or latin based names??

    Didn't we just try to honour his people by buying his first jumper & give to his people.

    Why can't we give him the most Indigenous Australian name possible, one that would also honour his peoples?

    I think I heard he was called/nicknamed by his locals, Jooka!

    Rudeboy, are you out there, what would his people want him called, by us?

    What's wrong with Jurrahcane? I like it, I also heard someone in th crown call him "Rah" kind of as a "Raarrgghhh", easy to yell. Both honour him and his people in an appropriate way.

    Doing an Arts degree are we?

    I love the irony of being so painfully politically correct that the concept of just giving him a nickname like any other player is beyond you and it must be 'the most Indigenous Australian name possible.' Personally I think thats rascist ;)

    The impression I had from listening to Bailey last night was that he was very guarded in answering the 'tank' or 'not to tank' question. He was typically answering the questions in a manner you would expect from a coach, without blatantly saying yes or no.

    From listening to his opinions regarding Jetta eventually moving into the middle etc. (which no one could have foreseen) I think there's a lot going on in his mind regarding winning v tanking. And we will find out very soon. If he believes we can challenge for a Premiership in the next few years with primarily the same team we have now bar a few adjustments here and there, then he will coach to win. If not, then he will obviously use 'list management' techniques such as WC resting KERR and COX for 'mystery illnesses' to benefit the team in the long run re high priority draft picks.

    Bailey was adamant that player development is his raison detre for 2009.

    As it should be.

    I want to see Wonna play a few, I want to see Watts play a few, I want to see McNamara play a few, and I want to know if Valenti can string some decent performances together.

    Watts should return for the easier trio of games against Rich, NM, and Freo. Give the kid some confidence on easier opponents.

    "Let the kids play! You let them play!"

    The cards will fall where they may - with a little bit of direction from the selection committee.

    No, I a blue collar construction worker who is sick of us not honouring our countries true heritage, from its indigenous people, to our flora & fauna, to looking after our land.

    A small example to me is things like changing Wanneroo Park racetrack to Barbagallo.

    We don't live in Italy, nor Europe. This is Australia.

    Thats where I come from.

    Jurrahcane was Cougar on 3AW. Think Rex might have made it up, 'cos Davey had another nickname, 2 words but can't remember it.

    You've got to love a guy that picks his own nickname.

    • 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.
