Garland in doubt, you'd think. Walked past Jamar on the way today who told me he's playing next week.

I'm thinking with Richmond's forward line, Frawley and Rivers should be able to take care of themselves.

In: Jamar, Gysberts

Out: Gawn, Garland

Does Stef Martin need a rest?? Just a thought.

Would hate to see him burn out, he has worked really hard this year.

Is Gawn ready to work with Jamar?

Hard to change a winning side...

IN: Gysberts, Jamar.

OUT: Gawn (unfortunate), Garland (inj)
 

I'd frankly like to somehow squeeze all three of Jamar, Martin and Gawn into the one side. Not sure how we'd do it, though. And, if Tapscott's fit, would think he'd come straight back, too.

Seems the selectors will have some tough decisions to make.

Gawn makes way for Jamar. Not exactly fair on Gawn but Jamar picks himself and we can't take all three. Doesn't matter, Gawn is a future star and he's had his state of AFL football.

There is room for Gysberts and Tapscott too. Bartram was woeful with the ball in hand, Strauss too. Neither of them would be certain picks next week, though the FD seems to love Bartram. And of course Garland may be injured. Bennell can go too as far as I'm concerned; didn't work hard enough in his quarter.


maybe ease tappy back in? a week at casey to get some confidence back in the leg? whatever the changes they are all positive for us! except Garland if he doesnt come up.
 

Out: Gawn, Bennell

IN: Jamar, Gysberts

Tapscott to return via Casey unless Garland is out.

Does anyone think Sylvia is in trouble for his late bump in the 3rd qtr. A Freo player had to be helped by the trainer. Admittedly, I didn't get a good look at the replay.

+2

I like Rivers as a covering defender, so I would be tempted to bring in Warnock for Garland to cover Vickery, with Frawley going to Reiwoldt.

Jamar in for Gawn(unfortunately).

If Tapscott is ready, then Bartram has to go because he is a liablity with ball in hand, and in todays footy, you can't carry those sort of players.

Petterd's been booked for striking Crowley in the 1st quarter. anyone see it?

Clint Bartram out.

Can't hit targets in a game with zero pressure.

The weakest link.


I would only bring back one player who has missed significant time – so assuming they are both fit that means Tappie gets his touch back as Casey and Jamar comes in with Gawn very unlucky. Gys comes back if fit.

Looking forward to it already.

Bartram stays because...he's Bartram. Someone has to take King, or Nahas.

Finally Someone with some football brains Big Max is a breath of fresh air he was our best big man today by a mile

Max gawn should never be out of this side

Yeah, Gawn was better than Martin by a mile :rolleyes:

IN: Jamar, Tappy

OUT: Gawn, Garland (if injured)

Can't play 3 ruckmen it simply wouldn't work. Thought Bennell (although being the sub) was relatively quiet when on and would love to see Tappy get a game up forward where he would provide great forward pressure.

Dunn, Bate, Juice, Spencer - see ya later.

Anyone looks good playing loose in the backline. Rivers has to beat an opponent AND help others .Feel sorry for Clint but you are right about his poor disposal.Dunn too.

Bate should get another year if we can keep him.

IN: Jamar, Tappy

OUT: Gawn, Garland (if injured)

Give Bate another year .Spencer seems superfluous now .Dunn ,Bartram are packing their lockers .

Agreed.

Should get a reprimand at most. The footage shows that Sylvia's hand clips the Freo players mouth on the way through as Sylvia is turning to attack the ball. Purely accidental.

Give Bate another year .Spencer seems superfluous now .Dunn ,Bartram are packing their lockers .

To me if anything it should be the opposite.

Dunn and Bartram have shown quite a bit over the last 12 months, Bartram esp has been very very solid.

In the last 18 months Bate has done sweet FA. Get rid of him please

Changes next week

In: Jamar, Gysberts, Tappy

Out: Gawn(don't wont him to), Bartram, Garland(if injured)or Bartram

  • 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.
