    Once Trengove's body and fitness is ready for a full crack at the big time (another pre-season or two) the kid will dominate.... I have seen first hand how he played in SANFL finals over here and his poise and decision making were first class... Also his overhead marking in defense is a sight to behold... He is our future version of Jimmy Bartel

    Agree...

    Agree...

    So why all quiet?

    The interchange and emergencies have been released.. what do we think?

    Im happy personally..

    Juice, jetta and j-mac as the emergencies. Bail, Dunn, wonna and gizzy on the bench

    And what are you basing this off?? There's been nothing reported on the club site, nor in the Sun teams chat which doesn't start until 4.45pm?

    Good to see some changes, but the midfield stays the same, time to bring Grimes in. We should line up as follows, we need run on our bench, we need a Half forward line that will present and contest all day and a tall forward who can go into the ruck.

    Bartram Warnock Frawley

    Tapscott Garland MacDonald

    Jones Sylvia Trengove

    Bate Watts Petterd

    Maric Newton Jurrah

    Jamar Moloney Grimes

    Green Davey Bail

    Sub Gysberts

    Correct. From site: -

    Interchange:

    Lynden Dunn

    Austin Wonaeamirri

    Rohan Bail

    Jordan Gysberts

    Emergencies:

    Michael Newton

    Neville Jetta

    Joel Macdonald

    Rivers out with ankle, I would have thought MacDonald might have come in to replace him. Dunn will be helping Jamar with the omission of Martin...unless there are late changes. Jamar is important for us on Sunday.

    Grimes will surely be used down back again.

    And it's now on the MFC website. As stated above, the bench is Gysberts, Dunn, Bail and Wonna.

    Emrgencies are MacDonald, Newton and Jetta.

    I guess one of Wonna or Gysberts to be the sub. Given our propensity to name forwards as subs, I'll predict Wonna to be sub.

    I'm not sure I agree with the idea of a forward being the sub, though.

    You must have been freaking out last year.

    I'm worried about McKernan (198/98), Tippett (203/107) and Walker (194/98) on their forward line.

  • Quote

    Dunn is very very lucky given they dropped Martin who has been in better form this year.

    So not excited for this match. This whole season has totally flat lined for me.

    Yep, cant begin to fathom why Martin was dropped this week especially with Rivers injury and the fact he's been playing so well!

    Crows FL is huge.

    Destined to be a big mistake in hindsight.

    Yep, even the fact that Warnock is now billed as being an inch taller than he used to be isn't gonna help. We don't match up well at all. Martin could have proved to be valuable.

    Its very simple, if the midfield do their job, win the ball and work hard all day then we will win. I'm expecting a much better performance this week, because the boys simply show they still want it and still have Deans back.

    There was a lot of talk this week, it's time to back it up.

    This is the only change that has me genuinely confused. Cannot see how Dunn would provide better value than Martin given Adelaide's ruck strength and tall forward line.

    Would've though Bate's inclusion would've forced Dunn out for sure.

    Weather forcast is cold and RAIN so having a much smaller team (1 ruckman v 3)could prove to be in our favour.

    Could be GNF. Good point.

    Yep, fair enough re newton and the ruck.

    I would hope to see Maric playwell if it's wet. Solid and low to the ground. He better get busy.

    Bate, use your bulk, and keep the ball in front of you.

    Lets hope we see some good gutsy efforts from all the Dees.

    Bleeding about Martin getting dropped and Newton ending up as the second ruckman. If he's been in form at Casey kicking goals (allegedly) pick him as a forward and play him there instead of dragging him all over the place (yes, I am aware we don't believe in having a forward line).

    Having said that, if we turn up and Dunn is the second ruckman Bailey can slurp my plums.

    Clear the decks !

    Dunn must have goat photos

    Yeah, but we still need big bodies in certain areas of the field to be able to compete.

    If its cold and wet, body strength will come into it more.. for getting in front/getting best position in the contest.. (in the crows FL that is)

    Warnock gives up 12KGS to Tippett compared to Martin who is only a few KGS less than the crow big man after a huge pre-season..

    and Garland is way off in size to that big lump McKernan, col is kind of forced to take him because frawls is way off 100% and will better suited (atm) to the 3rd big man.. (walker)

    Makes us look undersized in both key forward positions..

    Still, as someone mentioned, the midfield might actually do its job and ease the pressure off the backline! Instead of it being swamped from the word go - as its been for most games this year so far..

    Martin is a bit soft body on body I think, I wonder if that has anything to do with it? The weeks theme seems to be tougher 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.

    • 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.
