    Jordie and others need to make him earn those frees. I noticed (and I dare say Jordie would have to) that Gaz pulled up with a limp arm after a big tackle last week... Might have been the same one he fractured last year. Target it.

    We will lose by 8 goals.

    Surely it will be a lot closer than that.

    I've tipped the W. I saw enough last week to think we can roll them on our home ground. But either way I think it will be close.

    Gold Coast are similar to Carlton and us in that they haven't been fantastic in terms of scoring power, if we make it a tough contest it will be close, they also had 22 marks inside 50 against them last week, if that happens again Dawes, Frawley and Dunn will get the job done for us.

    I said last week that we would lose to Carlton by 45 points.

    So this week i'm saying we will lose to Gold Coast by 45 points.

    Lol! Like.

    Jones will be all over Gaz. ... did a great tagging job last week whilst getting plenty himself.

    It's worth noting that Gaz is a different beast to Marc Murphy.

    Consistent. Mindless, but consistent. :)

    Gee I hope the Fitzpatrick inclusion doesn't mean Dawes could be a late out.

    Clisby very, very stiff

    Good chance Jetta is primed to play - doesn't seem necessary to upgrade him otherwise.

  • Quote

    So we can assume Jetta has been elevated to the senior list?

    I think Spencer might be a bit sore, not Dawesy.

    Hopefully no change. Although I'd like to see Jetta in.

    Yep... There's even a thread about it ;-)

    Would almost be as significant. God help us if Fitzpatrick rucks a full game

    It seems to becoming much more competitive for places which is healthy.

    Reckon JKH may be rested for Jetta.

    Rested? As if being the sub three weeks in a row wasn't enough rest?

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • 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.
