Came on as substitute in the final quarter of the opening round and starred but had a quiet patch and spent some time in the VFL before returning to play some productive football.

 

Still has plenty of room for improvement.

    I hope that Ricky is one of the players who Neeld can get under the skin of. When on fire he is absolutely fantastic. His record tackling game this year was the perfect example of what he is capable of, and his goalkicking and marking against the Filth in the 1 point loss last year was another fantastic effort. Needs to get some consistency in these results, but is an extremely capable player. Look forward to seeing more from him.

    Was competing with his locker room neighbour for a spot in the side this year. Started the year behind and finished with a comprehensive victory in that battle - thank God.

    Still got lots of room for improvement, but there's a lot to like. The one handed marks annoy me; it's just asking for trouble. Overall I'd say I'm pretty happy with his development trajectory so far.

    Going along pretty well, but hopefully MN will emphasize that pretty good is not nearly enough any more.

    It will bring out the best in some, and others who are not up to it may wilt and fall by the wayside - hopefully Ricky will be one of the former. (correction - I really hope they all will).

    Ricky's best was very good in 2011, but his worst was poor. Unfortunately the poor out-numbered the good. I thought some of his efforts were bordering on lazy this year, and I have little doubt that this is why he earned some 'holidays' at Casey. He has the potential to be a very hard-to-match-up-on, goal-kicking forward, with defensive skills that are well suited to the modern game. Like other posters, I hope the new coaching staff can get the best out of him on a consistent basis, assuming that is, that Ricky wants to get the best out of himself.

    Ricky was inspired until his injury last year. In comparison he was poor this year, like our team.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • 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.
