Toumpas.

And, while it's the same for me every year, I have to say once again, Colin Sylvia.

How do you deal with that perennial disappointment Ron??

    More a 'what' than a 'who'

    Would like to see the whole team display a 'Never say die' attitude in every game . A 'Never give in' stance doesn't take skill or any god given talent . It's a mindset which all our players can display .

    The players have got to want to be successful and a hatred of losing should be shared right across the board .

    If we do that, there will be plenty of excitement .

    I agree Macca ......... and to add to that, if the players don't bring that attitude to every game they will find themselves playing at Casey more often than not. Our (seemingly) improved depth, and Neeldy's uncompromising attitude, should guarantee this! That's an exciting prospect in itself.

    Did someone judge what a post says by reading the first 4 words?

    He is talking about Tynan and Taggert being overlooked when they have a year on Barry, Kent, Terlich, and Jones.

    I agree, I am keen to see what that little fearless bloke Tynan can do with his new rig. Although he has a ways to go yet.

    Both of you missed the whole point of the thread. It's not "who do you think might excite you next year if they take the next step"... It's "who gets you excited".

    Yeah fair call mate, just trying to bring it back to realism, we have so many threads that have turned into player predictions.

    <====== this guy right here (Viney)

    But am also looking forward to what the senior recruits like Dawes, Rodan and Byrnes bring to the mix, am looking forward to seeing how Watts and Trengove go- the "could be's" in Tynan and Taggert- looking forward to seeing who will lock down that small defender role- how our new recruits in Terlich and Kent fair.

    Also looking forward to see how our new forward line functions with Dawes and Pedo coming in. Hoping Clark gets back to his best and another mid steps up ala Jones.

    Does that fit the criteria of this thread Stuie? Just checking :P

    Haha ok ok... I more started out trying to explain why no one was talking about Taggert and Tynan very much

    Because we have seen very little of them,I think Taggert has taken the AI title from Grimes.

    Thank god I might add rather him at present than Grimes

    The thing is though stu, some people get excited about unknown quantities like Taggert and Tynan. It's not completely baseless as we've seen glimpses of Tynan that show he could become a very capable footballer. But to a large extent it's unknown what they coud be, or what 2013 could have in store for them. That's exciting.

    Yeah I get that, just wondering why we have a "memory like a sieve", when there's no actual memories there in the first place...

    Yep 'dof' , you'd reckon all the listed players from 2012 would know exactly where they stand now . Witnessing 15 of their teammates being 'moved' off the list has got to be a eye-opener for many of them . The new arrivals to a large extent won't know any different so the adjustment for them shouldn't be a factor .

    Has there ever been a club go from one coach to another where the coaches in question are such polar opposites ? It's any wonder so many didn't cut the mustard . Paul Roos said it best when he talked about the first 3 to 4 years of a draftee being the most important years . He talked about how any coach can have a huge effect on a draftees development and how after that initial period of years it's difficult to change a player . We witnessed a bit of that this year in my opinion .

    If all our players are prepared to work as a team and be selfless and have strong disciplines then we'll improve out of sight (of course nowadays it's called a 'buy in' or being on 'the same page' ^_^ )

    • 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.
