    Final interchange to be: Jetta, Martin, Maric, Petterd.

    Maric or Jetta to be sub, no chance for it to be Martin or Petterd again.

    My choice for sub: Maric.

    May be Jetta though, because he'd be more of a game changer with his pressure and tackling.

    Although... If Maric were able to take advantage of a fatigued opponent and get more of the footy, with more time to use it, he could be really damaging.

    It will be interesting to see.

    Hahahaha if you're joking - that's gold, and if you're not - it's still an appropriate response!

    Bloody Ryan Ferguson...

    I reckon with one big pre-season he might just become a player.

    Petterd would be stiff to find the green jersey again I suppose. Jetta might give that bit of energy through the characteristics you mention. And yes you were right....here's your set of steak knives. :)

    Agree a game within a game..but I doubt Clarkson would be worried about it. He'd have plans for each of the three candidates.

    PS. I will say this, the sub has created extra interest for AFL followers.

    It creates a distinct advantage for a team that doesn't suffer an injury forcing the use of the substitute, when playing against a team that does.

    Hardwick & the Tigers may beg to differ (they say hi !) ! (Re: Jack Riewoldt)

    Overall though, you would be right in most cases. Limiting rotations for one team and not the other through injury (particularly early in a game) would have to have a telling effect.

    On top of all that, it wouldn't surprise me in the least if the players do lay an official complaint through the AFLPA regarding the sub and that it should be reviewed.

    • 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.
