Two who i thought showed a bit today especially couch who seems to have added a bit of pace about him. Looked much better then Magner who was unsighted but Couch got a couple of clearences and his kicking wasn't that bad at all. Will be watching his progress with intrest over the Nab Cup.

Matt Jones showed a bit of poise and pace and i thought his kicking was quite good. Was trying to pick up the tempo of the game but couple of games and id have him Round 1 on the wing.

    Jones needs to lower his kicks a bit, probably something that comes with adjusting to AFL. Seems ok though.

    Couch did show a bit, but he was a fresh in the second game. All we know based on last year is that Magner has the edge on Couch but that could change.

    I think it comes down to injuries as to whether Couch or Magner get upgraded and a spot in the team for round 1.

    I didn't notice Jones that much.

    I thought Couch showed a bit aswell, certainly looks to have Magner well and truly covered.

    But at least having blokes like Magner and Couch fighting hard for spots will set the benchmark.

    Magner locks the ball up .

    Can't get it on cleanly ever .

    I hope he is only used sparingly because he hasn't got the skills for AFL.

    Great attitude but hey call it Football for a reason .

    I spoke to Couchy at Family Day and mentioned he seemed to have picked up a yard of pace, he puts it down to a no miised session pre season, feeling really good

    Also spoke to Matt Jones, asked him about the step up and Dean Terlich, said it was only NAB Cup but difference in speed of game hit them both, but both really enjoyed it

    • 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.

    • 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.
