Was Leigh Williams training with the main group and if so, was he looking sharp? I notice that he will debut at Casey this weekend.

    I complimented Leigh Williams on how good he looked physically (did it without blushing as well!), he looks completely dfferent to the rather boxy shape I saw in October, he did the whole session including a drill where the forwards were the backs, really looking fwd to having a run...he tweeted the same.....

    Jamar looked ok again did the whole session, but like a few others Trengove, Grimes, come to think of it all the leaders had serious game day faces....I reckon last Saturday really really hurt, but we have another 21 games to go and that is in the past

    Bailey played him as a mid. Came very close to ending his career.

    Actually, Bailey played him as a mid, as a defensive forward, as an attacking forward, in defence and in the ruck. Dunn has been unable to find a spot to claim as his own so will more than likely end his own career.

    Magner has a nerve in his ankle he pinches occasionally. It just needs to be massaged and he's right to go again. Not a big issue, but just needs to be monitored during a game.

    hate to ask but did Morton train well?

    Trained the absolute house down. Marked beautifully, ran like a gazelle, hit targets lace out, was high fiving superbly and even snagged a goal from 60 on the boundary whilst standing up in a Mitch Clark tackle after fending off Jones, Moloney and Frawley. Neeld said he hasn't seen such a good escape since jason misfud held his job earlier in the week.

    Even though I loved the Roost It answer and I would like it to stand,

    actually he was quite good,

    I get a bit frustrated with him at times as well, I go to training and being a shy and retiring type I have had a couple of good natured goes at him, but he looked ok yesterday,

    my personal opinion of him, as a junior I think he found footy all too easy, but now struggles at times with what is required of him, he is a gifted footballer, just doesn't know where the permanent on switch is........

    would assume Neeld will ensure he knows where the door is at the end of the season if need be

    just as a complete left field by the way, there was a young skinny kid training with the group yesterday, had a sweet left foot on him, was told he was from the AIS squad, hope we are looking at thim

    I would argue that that move saved his career (well prolonged it for a few years at least). Couldn't get into it playing in the forward line, Bailey switched his role to a tagger so he could work on his defensive game. Shut down some quality mids (Harvey, Watson, Pearce to name a few). Then went forward in the second half of 2010 and finally got some real consistency going, kicking bags of 3-4 regularly.

    Done [censored] all since obviously but it will be interesting to see how he goes under Neeld.

    Good to hear these training reports too, sounds like the boys want to get on with business.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.
