    I don't know about the team as a whole, but apparently Jack Watts was quite ill in the week leading up to the game.

    Not great for Jack obviously but if true comforting to me, gives us a genuine reason why his stella form didn't continue. Would be hard enough running around up there losing Kgs let alone being sick the week prior.

    I'm glad it's a comfort to you...

    Kids have bad games.

    Apparently Jack's was a chest infection.

    If Jack had a bout of Gastro, i would very much doubt he would be drinking Powerade. But that said, if he had a chest infection then it may explain why he was knackered in the second half.

    82% humidity with a chest indfection/Gastro would be Hell to to deal with.

    All power to you "Charlie" in at least taking the field....This weeks build up to the Hawthorn game will be a great test for this club.

    I'm not arguing with you, but why was he playing if he'd been sick? I would have thought 'Watts (ill)' in the team list on Thursday night would have been the way to go. And then perhaps Bate (someone else?) could have played. I guess the club thought he had recovered sufficiently to play.

    You said it...with Bate as the option...

    What the?? I know this, however if he was sick in the lead up to this game it may not be just that "kids have bad games" He looked sluggish from the get go, not just from the heat.

    Here he is on the flight up to Darwin, applying medication to get to the game.

    I heard Howe had it as well.

    I'm a bit disappointed that after clicking on this thread I wasn't presented with an even wackier conspiracy theory.

    • 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.
