I don't know; I will leave it up to the Football Department. I remember after the draft last year CC was rumbling about re-drafting CJ as he was the best player in the PSD. What happened with Jurrah has got to be one of the greatest strokes of luck we have had in recent times; You can't expect that it will happen again.

I remember this. CC was quoted as saying we will select CJ again, IF he is the best player available, which he certainly was not. More of a sly backhand than an endorsement for Johnson.

I also recall this, he was just ruffling a few feathers, it was a sly backhand for him walking.

And do we remember what Bailey did when CJ turned up a the club after he had made the decision to leave?

Many people on here felt Bailey was unprofessional and rude.

I thought 'why would anyone turn up to training after making the decision to leave?'

If you want people to value being at this great club you have to take a strong stand to those who don't treat this club with respect.

(And by that I don't mean leaving, I mean turning up and running around with teammates and in colours you have decided not to play with anymore)

Yes, recall this. Bailey tore strips off him in front of the players from memory.

Thought I'd highlight your valid point in making a strong stand. It's very important with regard to the fabric of the club.

Thanks Theo I enjoyed hearing it after missing it live.

I'll third that. Really love hearing that about Bailey. This club needs to regain it's passion, hardness, and uncomprimising ways if it is to succeed. Personally I think we're in safe hands.

Absolutely, & CJ certainly has not set the world on fire has he. Bailey knew CJ was a loose canon & he could afford to wave him goodbye.

Respect or leave the MFC....simple really

I'll be happy with inspired recruiting across any race.

Majak Daw?

Not sure he was a loose canon but he was and is only a good VFL player

Bailey said he is still fairly keen to make Martin a KPP and longer target for us.

Also mentioned Watts inside 50 with Sylvia and Bate. Brushed over Miller a bit. Then mentioned Garland as able to play both forward and back. Finally mentioned Morton as a similar height to Pav and Roo.

I think that is a strong indication he has his forward line all planned out and will go with 2 mids in the draft.

God Bless You.

Not sure of accuracy but heard at lunch from a Blues supporter that Warnock has either reinjured his foot or it is still bothering him. We will see if he plays this 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.

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.
