We're a 4 goal better side with the dropping of Brandon Jack.

He killed us last year with 4 goals.

OMG....here we go again.

Every missing player or players in an opposition team are replaced by someone.

How about just concentrating on beating whomever they put out against us.

Flashback to round 1: can't remember just who, but Saints had a mounting injury list, and posters here were in effect saying how that would make things easy for us. Result ?????

Happens several times every year and we don't improve as a result.

FCS....just beat the opposition, whomever it may be !!!!!!!

    Not surprised to see McKenzie and Evans out, neither was giving us anything.

    Spencer for Jamar is a bit surprising but I guess Spencer's paying the price for two rubbish games sandwiched around a decent game (against a terrible opponent).

    Not sure I'm in favour of Byrnes or Salem being included though. Would have liked to see Salem ply his trade a little longer at Casey and not get picked on the back of one great game, but that's where we're at right now. I guess that also goes for Byrnes, who I don't see any future for at all, but oh well.

    I guess this also means Pedersen will stay forward to be the second ruck and Dunn will stay back - hope I'm wrong about that though.

    Goodes will be rusty as hell

    Kinda glad hes come in to be honest

    Rusty players have a habit of a good first up game against us before the rust kicks in. But here's hoping. He is 34 after all and the game does seem faster this year.

    The said Adam Goodes is the Australian of the year and is said to be as strong as an...

    Goodes is a massive in and has torn us to pieces in the past, but he will be as rusty as an old iron gate. But please no-one has ever effectively tagged him so don't waste a player on him this time.

    Great to see Salem in. You can't ignore genuine young talent when it shines in a quality game at VFL level.

    Not surprised to see Jamar come straight in. Roos' method in the past has been for an older, big bodied ruckman to hold the spot against all challengers.

    A bit surprised about Byrnes, even though I am not his biggest critic. It will be interesting to see how he goes with Dawes and Frawley doing the big man work.

    A bit surprised about Watts being kept in.

    Unfortunately their midfield will kill us.

    All this negativity..... a little overwhelming :(

    We bring in more experience with Jamar and Byrnes.

    I have a feeling Mckenzie days as a footballer are nearly finished.

    I'm looking forward to watching Salem. I hope he gets a start and isn't the sub.

    Nearly finished?? was lucky to be drafted in the first place, average tagger, no upside or ancillary position, limited skills and we gave him a three year deal!! dohhh!

    Not a great footballer, but McKenzie's played some good games for us. Didn't he shut down Gazza last year to a handful of touches? Adelaide were very keen for him to go back there a number of years ago when he was on our rookie list, and they were a very good team then......unlike us. Maybe he's been 'Melbournised'.

    Maybe he was just not that good at the start

    Jamar and Salem are both good ins in my opinion, but Byrnes will need to do more around the forward line than just get on the end of a couple of cheap ones, hopefully Byrnes is sub because he doesn't have the ability to play well for 4 quarters.

    • 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.
