Looking forward to Kent receiving hands from the HF line and drilling 9 pointers.

 

ot playing:




9 Jack Trengove (inj)


11 Mitch Clark (inj)


23 Josh Tynan


33 Dom Barry


35 Luke Tapscott


37 Max Gawn (inj)\


41 Troy Davis


43 Rory Taggert


44 Rohan Bail (inj)


49 Nathan Stark (rookie)


50 Mitchell Clisby (rookie)




Tapscott, Davis, Taggert, Tynan, Barry and Rookies


I am gonna guess they got the least amount of points in pre-season?

Cant play evertone on the list at the same time so some will be rested and others will be playing. im guessing viney, toumpas and kent will be moniterd.

No Bail, Trengove, Clark, Gawn (all inj) or Davis, Barry, Tapscott, Tynan, Taggert.

Or Clisby (inj) or Stark from the rookie list

Seems interesting that Tapscott, Tynan and Taggert all aren't in the side. I think Tappy has been carrying a niggling injury but haven't heard anything about the other 2. Maybe the plan was to save a couple for the game next week.

I see the 2 games this week and the game against Port as warm ups and trials prior to the last two NAB cup games which are much more about actually readying the best 25 for round 1. So this week I'd play the kids only for 1 match each as well as the veteran/important players.

FB: Strauss Frawley Macdonald

HB: Dunn McDonald Watts

C: Viney Jones Nicholson

HF: Blease Dawes Howe

FF: Davey Pedersen Fitzpatrick

Foll: Jamar McKenzie Sylvia

Int: Spencer, Kent, Magner, Evans, Matt Jones, Terlich

At half time I'd make the following changes:

Garland (Macdonald), Gillies (Frawley), Toumpas (Viney), Byrnes (Howe), Hogan (Dawes), Rodan (Jones), Grimes (McKenzie), Jetta (Kent), Sellar (Jamar), Couch (Sylvia)

FB: Jetta Gillies Garland

HF:Blease Pedersen Byrnes

FF: Davey Hogan Fitzpatrick

Foll: Spencer Magner Rodan

Int: Strauss, Sellar, Couch, Evans, Nicholson, Terlich

Disappointed that neither Taggert or Tynan make it into the team.

Both were draftees form the 2011 draft.

Both in their second year and cannot get a run in a practise match, disappointing.

Not surprised re Tapscott I think he is going to struggle to get a game this year unless we have injuries.

 

These games will mean little if we lose them both but a great deal if we win. :ph34r:


Would of liked to see Rory Taggert, must be a reason why he is not playing.

Look forward to seeing Evans could be a smoky in the midfield this year for us.

You are assuming they are fit enough to play? I would say this would be more to do with soreness or injury.

... or load management.

There is not un limited number of players who get a run on Friday night 34 in total I believe.

Some one has to miss out and those two have missed.

No mention of injury, soreness. load management etc.

Is it impossible to believe they were not viewed as being in the top 34 players for Friday night?

I believe we are putting our best available 34 on the ground first up.

After the past 12 months we need runs on the board.

We need to impress sponsors and supporters.

The other 6 fit players may get a run next week, if needed.


It was interesting that the ad in todays Sun for the game(s) had a photo of one player from each team , two established stars

from North and Tigers, and Jack Viney for us. Is it too early in his career for him to be a 'face', a marketable commodity?

Cant wait till Friday!

I see your point. I thought we were looking to learn from the pressure put on Watts. That said one promo is fine, but I don't want to see Viney as the face of the club.

No mention of injury, soreness. load management etc.

OD, we never hear anything specific re load management, so why would that be the case here?

Almost the same re injuries. We found out yesterday Rohan Bail had been in the rehab group with concussion for 3 weeks ...

You're jumping to conclusions.

Mind you, they are calling Ziebell a star.......

These games will mean little if we lose them both but a great deal if we win. :ph34r:

Beg to differ... with a $500k fine hanging over the MFC, suddenly the NAB cup takes on a whole new level of importance.

A few boys playing against there old clubs in this one..... Gysberts, pederson, petterd, Edwards, Rodan. Will be good to see some recruits stand up.

Is there any cash for winning the NAB cup?

Pre-season games don't count ... but they do matter. As a team they will learn a lot about themselves.

Our best chance is the 1st game against North. What will be interesting is how we run the game out against Richmond. Looking forward to seeing the new recruits. Especially Hogan, Dawes, Viney and Toumpas.

Disappointing not to see Tapscott in the squad but he might be carrying a slight leg injury. I reckon Luke will prove a few people wrong this year. He just needs a good go at it. Still just 21 years old.

 

Is there any cash for winning the NAB cup?

I believe there is still a monetary prize (but don't know how much). In 2010, the winner got $180k and the runner up $120k.

No Bail, Trengove, Clark, Gawn (all inj) or Davis, Barry, Tapscott, Tynan, Taggert.

I like the concept of having Fitzpatrick in both teams as he deserves a run. If Dawes has been recruited as FB then I would play him there instead of Pederson. Similarly I would play Hogan as CHB instead of Pederson in the other match as I believe that is the role that we are grooming him for rather than FB. Otherwise I don't have a problem with your selections. I suspect the half back line that you named for both matches is our best and hopefully will excell for the whole season.

  • 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.
