I take it RPFC, youll be presenting the results to the National Census?

Maybe.

A lot of you don't think he can/will take Rivers' spot in the side.

It's not groundbreaking news but I think that a lot of you are right.

THEORETICAL LINE UP

B: Warnock Garland Frawley

HB: Grimes Rivers Morton

C: Green Moloney Davey

HF: Sylvia Bate Bruce

F: Jurrah Watts Wonaeamirri

R: Jamar McDonald Scully

Int: Johnson Trengove Blease Martin

Jones, Bennell, Bell, Cheney, Jetta, Maric, Pettard, Strauss, Miller, JOEL McDONALD

OK, now from what I can see we've got our fair share of half-back flankers, not all of which are currently at the same level as JM, however enough that are, and enough young blood to suggest this isn't really the position we need to be gearing up for.

The only potential weakness I see is we are 1 tall short of a future devastating forward line.

Mitchell Thorp for mine is worth the punt with PSD 1. Another spec tall forward in the ND (i.e. Talia or Black), a ruck option in Vardy or Gaw and some Troy Taylor or Liam Patrick excitement, then I'm starting to tingle.

Whatever happens, we're on the right path. In Barry I trust.

as an aside...I see elsewhere mentions of a 2 year deal already done with JM and that he's started training with us already . Can anyone verify ?

cheers

No complaints from me either ... :wub:

Sorry Darren... I'm not sharing them with you!

Don't freeze me out of the gossip at the club when you get on the Board.

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.
