I hope Clisby doesn't become the James Magner of this year..

Very stiff...

Pardon my off season ignorance, but what happened to Magner again?

    Neeld and Co didn't rate him, and apparently neither did anyone else in the competition.

    Ripped it up in the VFL week after week (had 53 touches one week) but for some reason was always overlooked in team selections. Currently playing for Port Melbourne I think.

    We've got this! We'll get home by 14 points in a tough, close fought game. Watts will shine brightly,

    Dawes will continue to marshall the forward 50 and Chip will dominate the GC backmen. Our midfield will have a battle but will come out on top.

    Hallelujah - our journey out of the wilderness has begun.

    bit early in the season to play nostradamus dd36

    On the other hand, you don't want to wait too long before playing Nostradamus.

    he's uncanny is nostry. Always seems to know where the ball is going to be

    He's very light and physically immature and they'll want to manage his exposure

    Bathers in the showers?

    Of the seven named on the interchange Kennedy-Harris, Matt Jones and Kent are not named for Casey so unless someone doesn't come up due to injury it looks like one of Evans, Fitzpatrick, Jetta and Toumpas will fill the last spot.

    Yes I saw that - I think it will be:

    Out: Evans

    In: Jetta

    If we brought Fitzy in then Dunn could go back to the backline and Fitzy could play that forward/relief ruckman for Spencer (better than Pedo). You would assume Fitzy would play better with the third tall (behind Frawley and Dawes) but I don't know if he has deserved a call up yet (not at the expense of JKH, Jones or Kent).

  • Quote

    If Terlich doesn't come up after training this morning. Jetta will be in.

    I reckon JKH could be the perennial Sub until he builds a tank.

    We may be in a better place with GCS than last year

    The Demons also have former Suns development coach Ben Mathews on the coaching staff, which McKenna expects to help shed some light on Gold Coast’s players.

    agree with this.

    we may be on the same wave length, i thinking we should win our next 5 games and start our push towards 8th place.

    the big question with such a topsy turvy year,is who we will play in the elimination final.

    Richmond or Calton obviously.

    Dean Kent apparently hurt himself at training today.

    Could be a late out?

    Fitzpatrick's inclusion in the 25-man squad. Wasn't emergency last week, and in Brett Allison's report, he says "Jack contested well, but I’d like to see him contest more in the air and get the ball to ground level, so that the smalls can get to work, if he doesn't mark it." Which was exactly the problem with him, so he is not being included because of form...

    Hope it's just a precaution

    I also thought that Fitzpatrick's inclusion was a pretty big surprise given his form hasn't been great.

    I don't necessarily think it means there's an issue with Dawes, it might just be in case of an emergency (which is I guess why they're called emergencies). Could also be someone other than Dawes, too.

    I just remember reading Dawes say he pulled up "very bloody sore" (can't remember which article it was).

    Let's face it, it's probably just another case of MFCSS

    • 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.
