    Grimes out is both a win and a loss, because I really want the kid to play as much as he can.

    I'm hoping for the bench to read: McNamara, Sylvia, Dunn, Petterd.

    My very educated guess - Int - Sylvia Dunn Bail Petterd

    But Dunn and Petterd being listed on the bench after good games indicates they might be carrying something, so it may finish like this - Int - McNamara Sylvia Bail Buckley.

    Johnson may have played his last game in Red and Blue...

    Yes, i reckon he might have played his last game in the red and blue also.

    It is extremely disappointing, given the year he had last year, he just hasn't come on and injury hasn't really curtailed his career either (he's been given plenty of opportunity). If he were to play a couple more games, i wouldn't mind seeing him given a go at FF, you never know.

    His trade value would have diminished as well, and if he goes Melbourne are certain to pick up a ruckman in the draft/trade period.

    Dunn and Petterd were terrific last week but if they are carrying any little niggle, others should be given a go due to our circumstances.

    Sylvia, McNamara, Bail and Buckley for me

    also interesting to see Edwards named for the Kangas..where the hell has he been?

    Also just a bit off topic... Dreamteam wise- who would you pick out of Vickery from the tigers or Spencer from the dees to play in your side this week who would you choose? If PJ misses out Spencer is going to get a whole lot of time to show what hes got hey?

    Would be very surprised if McNamara played, he struggled to finish out the game last week after just coming back from injury. Give him another week at Casey. Bail and Buckley could both play, give Petterd a rest.

    Interchange of Sylvia, Bail, Buckley and PJ.

    It's a shame McKenzie and Watts are injured.

    I would choose Spencer...I had both Vickery and Natinui in my Dreamteam (which has just been decimated by the Saints omissions) and stuck with Nat in the end...Vickery really just doest get many kicks......

    Nice to see the selection committee have retained their sense of humour naming Frawley on the wing! :lol:

    I'd imagine McNamara and Buckley are the two emergencies with Bail possibly coming in for Moloney??

    AFL website said Seaby from West coast has asked to be traded.......... maybe a ready made replacement??????

    Watts broke his thumb 2 weeks ago yeah? What are his chances of playing against Freo next week? I'd love to see him get at least one win under his belt in his first season.

    Dont really rate seaby, personally most ruckman are donkeys anyway and with Jamar, the moose, spencer and martin i dont think our ruck stocks are that bad.

    Yeh agreed.

    I think Meese, Jamar and Spencer are decent and if the opportunity comes up that either Fitzpatrick or Vardy are available at pick 17 they will be picked no doubt!! that would be a dream draft

    I'm not sure how reliable this Is but I'm being told Moloney wont play.

    Good.

    On paper this is a better team than last week's. Granted we're playing a slightly better opponent at Etihad, but I'm still nervous. We can tank all we like, but we saw last week what happens when you come up against rubbish.

    Don't want another heart stopper thanks. A nice 5-6 goal lead at all times will do me just fine.

    Just need to hold on for one more week, then it's back to cheering mode (until we win another, and then it's back to panic mode :P)

    I cant watch this week! Last week was enough to turn me off.. Im going out for a few hours before the game starts and getting the final score later. I hate this crap!

    Any guesses on who the late drop-outs will be?

    Hopefully Davey.

    Moloney cause he's injury prone and Martin cause he's limped off the ground for the last 2 weeks allowing Bail to debut and giving PJ another chance with McNamara as first emergency.

    Give Sylvia one more week. ;)

    • 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.
