I tell you what. If he kicks 1 more he's a chance. 2 more and he's be the leading contender to get a nom this week.

A late season nomination is a bit of fools gold, especially in a mickey mouse award... But still... Reward for what has obviously been hard work that impresses his coaches.

Blowing us away now. Carlton 10.4.64 to 6.3.39 but what have we done to deserve the constand barrage of injuries in the second half of the season. I've never seen anything like this before.

    Take some Judd, add some Fevola... stir and you get a 5 goal lead before half time.

    Seems to me they were stuck in second, up until a few minutes ago where they found 3rd.

    I'm ok with that, but would like the ending margin not to be to different from this.

    This is not doing much for our percentage.

    How are we ever going to catch up to Fremantle is this continues? :wub:

    I bloody hope so - I'd love to trade him and get maximum value - who knows what we could end up with?

    Boak would be a very good result...

    Oh we'll catch up to them...

    In 2010.

    Hadley and Petterd gone for the game. Petterd with groin. I would say that's his season too, which is a shame. That would make him roughly the 76th player on our list to be done for the season.

    It's a real problem and something that has to be investigated.

    It looks very much like we have 20 fit players at half time in the second last game with only 2 or 3 available for Casey including Paul Wheatley who's starting in the twos and is probably there just to qualify for the finals.

    Meanwhile, Collingwood have all bar one or two players available for their two sides this weekend.

    Based purely on stats, it sounds like Sylvia, Jurrah and Bate are our best.

    I'd love us to come out and kick the first 3 goals of the 2nd half to give them a little scare, and then lose by 2 or 3 goals. Probably won't happen considering we're down to 20 men.

    And what's with McLean having only 5 touches for a half?. Can he not play well against quality? Is he being heavily tagged? Been on bench?

    Anyone??

    Half time:

    CFC: 6.3 12.5 - 77

    MFC: 4.2 8.3 - 51

    We're getting beaten, and are going to lose I think. But we're far from disgraced with the injury list we have, against a potential top 4 side with ok form.

    Our standouts are Jetta who's had his best half, 15 touches and 2 goals. Jamar, with 3 ones providing a good target. Frawley was smashing Fev, until a 10 minute period where Fev got a couple. Sylvia also 17 touches to half time, and has been good.

    Some ok performances as well, Bate, McDonald, Moloney, and Valenti has been in there.

    Lots of concerns though. We have some players doing well, but not playing accountably. Their midfield are everywhere. Judd, Murphy and Gibbs showing what a couple more years development does. Gobbs has 24 touches to half time, Murphy 19. Altogether their side has 40 more handballs. Not a good sign, and the chief reason we'll lose this.

    Also, Some players are being held very well. Jurrah getting smashed (may have sore hand, due to dislocated finger), McLean had 1 touch part way through the second quarter, having played 80% game time according to MMM. He has 7 touches now. Davey has 6 touches and been very quiet. Robbo got hurt, but came back on. Has only kicked one.

    So much for Jetta's nomination. Garlett has it sewn up with 4.1, a minute into the 2nd quarter. Morton on him according to the older spud on MMM.

    OH NO!

    Whelan has done a hammy. And that's the last we'll see of him, stuck on 149 games. Inauspiscious end to one of the best demons I've ever seen.

    Thread to come.

    Snap goal to Betts and they're 27 points up halfway through the third.

    This is going to be a high scorer!

    • 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.
