6 - N Jones

4 - Dawes

3 - Frawley

2 - Cross

1 - Grimes

Much the same top six or so as last week - the issue is the others who played quite well last week played poorly today (McDonald, Georgiou, Bail, Watts, Tyson, Dunn, Spencer).

    6 - Nathan Jones: The Ablett-matchup didn't quite work, but his form was again outstanding and IMO, he will make AA at this rate.

    5 - Jack Viney: not necessarily the most talented kid I've seen wear red and blue, but right up there with the most impressive.

    4 - Chris Dawes: extremely wasteful, but cannot question his effort and worth to this side. Worth every cent.

    3 - Daniel Cross: consistent player.

    2 - James Frawley: like Dawes, he was wasteful. But certainly makes us look better in the F50.

    1 - Jeremy Howe: wasteful, but some decent signs.

    Apologies: nil

    6. N Jones - all heart, no fear. Our champ.

    5. Dawes - wasteful, but the good far outweighs the bad

    4. Viney - busted a gut for us today. Will only get better as the season progresses.

    3. Frawley - great work-rate, but needs to hold more grabs

    2. Cross - worked very hard against the odds

    1. Grimes - building into form. Hard and reliable.

    Nope. Not today. Today was the Dunn of old - his kicking out of the back line was woeful, too many times he went with the 'I can kick 50 metres, let me show you' kicks, which go a long distance but go straight up too.

    Having a good year, but today was not a good game from Dunn. Prefer him forward, I'd like to see Roos work on a way to get him forward and Pedersen back.

    6. N Jones : Tired all day

    5. Viney: Hard all day

    4. Dawes: Our best forward but needed 4.2 not 2.4

    3. Frawley: Looks dangerous every time he came in the game but only made fleeting appearances
    2. Cross: Tried all day again but like the other two mis in the votes lacks polish

    1. Kennedy-Harris: Came into the game and did enough in the second half to pinch this vote based on no one else doing any more than him

    Hard to argue with any of the votes, but Dawes and Frawley's misses cost us the game.

    Maybe. I'd say the umpires giving them multiple free kicks inside their attacking 50 cost us the game personally. Disgraceful display today.

    6. N. Jones (this has become a cut and paste each week now. I wish someone else would stand up)

    5. Dawes

    4. Viney

    3. Frawley

    2. Bail (his job on Harbrow was very effective)

    1. Cross.

    the nomination of 6 players is definitely one too many today when you see players such as Howe, Bail, Jay K-H & Pederson get the 1 point nomination.

    Howe & J K-H weren't sighted in the 1st half and played respectable 2nd halves, Bail is another one of our midfielders who just doesn't get it enough and when he does is so poor by foot. I thought Pedo was ok and has moved from SPUD to Serviceable over the last couple of weeks, but to mention any of these players in the context of "getting votes" is laughable.

  • Quote

    6 - N.Jones ( has added class and inspiration to his repertoire )

    5 - Dawes ( the epitome of determination )

    4 - Cross ( we couldn't ask for a more professional senior player )

    3 - Jetta ( was often found in precarious situations , but was rarely beaten )

    2 - Viney ( lacks polish but is learning quickly .. will be a star )

    1 - Grimes ( consistent and calming )

    Their hard work in the forward line kept us in it.

    • 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.
