Cale Morton speaks on changes of the club and how being clear favorites will be a challenge. Interesting to note it says that he will make his return to the VFL in two weeks which is promising news

    Why should it matter? Clubs consistently say that they don't take any notice of media speculation, so why would our players care what our odds are, or whether the majority of tipsters will be backing us?

    But it does matter because the players are human, and it is harder to get your self up for a percieved easier task than a harder one.

    In some ways the team has to plan twice as hard for this week. I am glad Cale has spoken, if the players challenge themselves and not just the coaching staff, we have a better chance of success.

    The interesting thing for me in this article is right at the bottom where it says that Morton should return via the VFL in 2 weeks.

    Today, we simply have to win! When an upset occurs, its when you look at a team like Richmond and think how could we possibly lose, Thats when upsets occur. I just hope today Green,Bate,Petterd,Sylvia and Dunn can all contribute on the scoreboard. CARN THE DEES!

    I want Scully & Trengove to really show their stuff today!! Make the Tiges choke when they see what they "gave" us last year with that goal. They could have had Trengove had Jordan McMahon kicked like he did for the whole game. If he had missed we prob wouldnt have Jack now.. ouch!!

    We have to be 100% on our game and not let up. Treat it like we did the Pies game. We didnt give them an inch and they are far advanced on the Tiges. No mercy!!!!!!!!!!!

    There is another article in the Hearld Sun which I can't find online "Ozzie's style points" stating that Aussie will return through the VFL next week and LJ returned to light training this week. Aussie and LJ were intent on forming a lethal forward-line partnership in the second half of the season and we are hopeful of a mid-season return for Luke Tapscott.

    • 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.
