Today I'd like to kick off this week's gameday thread by asking who might be our sub for today. Will it be Aaron Davey, Sam Blease, David Rodan or someone else?

Also, does anyone know whether we'll have to wear our clash strip today?

 

i think it will be Rodan but wouldn't be surprised if it was Blease

will we start Frawley or Mcdonald on Brown?

Rodan and Blease named on the ground, i'm going with Davey for the second week in a row.

I reckon Frawley will play on Brown and McDonald will play on the more athletic Cornelius.

As for the sub, I have a feeling it will be Aaron Davey most weeks this year. But based on Blease's terrible performance against Essendon, I think I'd like him on the bench instead.

Would love to see Jack Watts play that hit up CHF role today.


Haha just had a flash back to when Viney played Green as a sub in 2011 - first ever player to selected as a substitute whilst being a captain... and off the top of my head the only

I just want to see Jack care enough to play a role Have a go Jack!

This is what annoys me the most about him, the bloke should be tearing sides like GWS up right now and i'm not convinced we haven't developed him okay, it seems to all be there when he wants to do things, it's just he is abit soft and lacks passion and confidence at the moment, which is unfortunate.
 

Absolutley ZERO!


Our chance to kill a coach other than are own today.

And to be equal ninths on the ladder

And to play the Suns for a place in the eight next week. Out by percentage.

Oh footy is a strange game at times.

Nice thought Mr Steve Im with you there

As I said yesterday im on The dees @$5.80

Go Dees

We play Carlton next week.

We play Carlton next week.

Who are our small defenders again?


Big day for Mark Neeld today.

A chance for 2 in a row. Let the team play Mark.

Run Run Run. Brisbane can be beaten today.

We'll lose by 10 goals

Was it last time we played Brisbane that Jonno Brown made Watts his personal ragdoll in the space of about 15 minutes? Anyone but Watts this time.

It's still a difficult match up. Even if Brown is approaching his twilight, he still has that amazing tank that allows him to drag his opponent around all day. Who has the body, stamina and commitment to stick with him, or conversely the knowledge of when to peel off him? Would have to be Chip I guess.

So wish i was going today. Would be good to see how the boys are after a win last week.....looks like fox footy for me

I've tipped a win cause I think we're a chance, but Brisbane will be viewing this in the same light as we did GWS. They have a point to prove.

Bottom line doesn't change. These are games we need to win in order to say there's been any improvement on last year. They are down on form and missing key players. A shellacking will be indefensible, but once again there will be some who find a way.


Who are our small defenders again?

I think people get caught up that a small defender means you need to be small. I would expect Terlich to take Garlett, Garland to take Betts which he has done well before and Watts to take Yarran subject to his performance today. If not Nicho, Strauss and Dunn will be ready to step up and may get a guernsey regardless.

Both sides are out of form, though I guess since we won last week, and are coming off a 12-goal quarter, we're less so.

Both sides are missing key players.

The one main difference - it's in Brisbane.

In Melbourne, I'd be a lot more confident, but putting our side on a foreign ground, especially since we've been at the G all year so far, makes me doubt our chances.

At our best (first half v West Coast, last quarter v GWS) we can and should beat them. Whether we can reach our best for long enough up there remains to be seen.

 

Would be extremely disappointed to see them get thrashed today! They are set up for a good win and two in a row if they can find the same form as in the last qtr last week! Go Dees!

We'll lose by 10 goals

Good to see an optimist.

  • 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.
