I'll be there.

 

Good to see the AFL are doing us favors this preseason, a late Sunday game in Perth followed by a middle of the day Saturday game, great for us to watch but not so great for the players. Don't expect to see many senior players that played yesterday on the park.

Dons off a 15 day break, Dees of 5 and a half. Seems fair

To be fair the players should be nice and rested after yesterday's efforts ;)

I'll be there.

Yes ill pop in as well, in the desperate hope that there will be some positives to take out if it. Hope Scully and Trengove get another run but they may not after the 5 day break.

 

Is there even a faint chance of it being shown on TV?

absolutely NO chance

Besides improving in the lead up to round 1 you what to ensure your list is as healthy as possible. To back players up this quickly increases the risk of injury at this early stage of the year.


It really is a non-issue the break between games. The bench has so many on it and the rotations are very high. A 6 day break won't hurt anyone.

And the result isn't important so the fact that Essendon is soming off a 15 day break is meaningless.

What we all want to see is a much improved performance - skills, effort, decision making etc. We have three more practice games to iron out some glaring issues otherwise all the hope and confidence we have all developed and that has been so actively encouraged by the club will very quickly disappear.

27 now and afternoon showers. Not so bad.

Does anyone know the state of the seating at Visy Park?

Is it still in the midst of demolition?

I was very much hoping to go on Saturday, but I'm still in a semi-crippled state so anything involving standing or too many stairs is a big no no.

There was plenty of seating for last year's game Jaded.

The new stand is finished now so there will be plenty of seating available.

I'd expect a reasonable crowd though given its the Dons.

No Bate, that's a shame

Yeah there will be. It'll likely be week 4, our last match.

 

Still 3 weeks away isn't he?

  • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

    Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

  • 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.
