Midseason Best 22

HB: Grimes Sellar Watts

Rivers and Frawley without spectacular still our 2 best tall defenders. It's a lottery after that but I think Sellar can edge out McDonald for the 3rd tall defender at this stage, he's got him covered for size and footskills. The small defenders are a lottery but I'd stick with Garland, Grimes is a no brainer if we can get him in the backline and Watts has had an impact on me with his work down back.

C: Trengove Moloney Bail

Foll: Jamar Jones McKenzie

Major worry with this midfield especially the drop in form of Jamar and Moloney. Supposedly an A grade combo they haven't looked like it yet. Jones and McKenzie have been the shining lights. I'm hoping Bail can get back in favour and show his worth as a forward/midfield and defensive utility worth keeping in the side.

HF: Sylvia Howe Tapscott

FF: Davey Clark Jurrah

Again some worries here, but Clark and Howe have led the way. The forward pocket and flanks have been a revolving door but I still think Davey and Jurrah are our best 2 pockets when up and about. Sylvia has showed his value once a month before resuming rubbish but is still easily our most dangerous flanker with midfield ability and I think after a slow start Tapscott was showing his ability to play forward or back and have a go. The door is starting to close on Bate, Dunn, Petterd and even Jurrah if he can't get his mind and body right. Bring on Lucas Cook I say.

Int; Martin, Magner, Nicholson

S: Blease

Stef Martin retains the title of our best number 2 ruck in the absence of rolling Clark through the ruck and also due to Gawn's injury, but he needs to convince me he can get somewhere near his form of 2011. Magner is a reliable bench midfielder probably good enough to get a shot at most clubs. Despite the odd brain fade I really think we have to stick with Nicholson - he's got natural pace and a good work ethic. Blease is the ideal sub, but has to work on his unselfishness.

    Looking at your side and basing it on who actually deserves a pass mark on their current performance at AFL level to mid season.

    NB: I would add T-Mac to that side who I think has been excellent.

    Tom's kicking has improved in the last few weeks. That would free up Sellar to pinch hit in the ruck in front of Martin. I have seen Stef only once or twice this year.

    On form and attitude, Magner in front of Moloney.

    Bartram into the backline allowing you to move Garland or Grimes around.

    Morton still ahead of Bail.

    Left field perhaps - but in my view Mitch Clark is in All Australian form. He has just been so bloody good.

    However, his chances will no doubt be cruelled by selectors who favour selecting players from the top sides each year.

    • 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.
