Definitely missed him this season. Will be a gun.

    Plays so tall for a bloke who is shorter than Trengove.

    Long long arms and very courageous.

    One of those really handy pieces to a side, like a Max Rooke.

    I don't like the Max Rooke analogy...

    Anyway, missed Ricky big time this season - proved he was a player on the up with his first 6 games of the season before injury struck.

    Takes a great mark and is a much improved kick of the ball!

    Gold Coast will be ruing they're loss at recruiting him - well done Dees!!

    Petterd shined when our forward line was in shambles this year....needs to have good on field chemistry with Jurrah, Green, Wonna, Watts & co....

    Will be great to have him back for 2011. Was a revelation in the first few games this year, one of the more exciting talents at the MFC

    I should add that the beauty is he goes under the radar at opposition teams - it works to our advantage.

    I think you'll find that we have one of the best conversion rates of I50s to scores in the comp.

    Mahoney has done a very good job with a young and undersized forward line.

    The silence of the Ricky doubters is deafening...

    Yet again...

    I don't doubt his ability but have real doubts about his body.Seems very injury prone and if, indeed, can get this right will be a sensational player for us.

    undersized and inexperienced...plus they were often starved of chances.

    where did we rank for inside 50 in the comp?

    Just love Ricky's courage, strength and recent goal kicking prowess. Seems to have found his niche in the forward half, and was sorely missed after round 6. Will add another dimension to our forward set-up in 2011, and be an important factor in the potential match-up dilemma that will confront opposition coaches.

  • Quote

    He is a real enigma to me.

    Doesn't in any way look a marking forward, but has done the job magnificently when available.

    I guess a question is where does he fit in if all of Jurrah, Watts, Dunn, Green, Davey, Wona are fit and in form, and even Bate were to apply himself and realise his potential.

    Would be a nice dilema for selectors.

    Yep.

    He was fantastic early on. Probably would have kicked 40-odd goals this year.

    His set-shot kicking really surprised me. It seemed so natural and was very reliable.

    Who could forget his game against the Pies.

    Last yet again, I'm fairly sure.

    Mahoney's done a fair job so far.

    Yeah...nah.

    His kicking for goal is still wonky & unreliable.

    He was good, but seriously.

    Rose-tinted memories.

    • 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.
