Matt Jones was quiet.

Byrnes also.

Frawley injured.

Blease,Garland,Riley in.

Blease sub-Salem in starting 18.

Matt Jones was inconsistent. He started off like a house on fire and went missing for a little while, or at least he failed to have the same impact that he had earlier in the game. He still had 21 touches. Solid. I'm not his biggest fan, but he's certainly improved this season. He goes again.

    Plus, he had three touches for over two quarters on the weekend. Love him, think he'll be a beauty. His pressure acts and physicality was good, but as you've rightly pointed out ET, he lacks the endurance at this stage. He'll keep playing as sub. Roos may even rest him this week.

    no he won't (rest him). No chance. In an interview on dee TV stone says assuming his form is good he may well stay in the side for the rest of the year. He may never be dropped.

    Blease hasnt done enough at VFL level, and Matt Jones still got 21 touches, so he desrves to stay.

    Id just bring in toumpas or Clisby for Byrnes,and Garland for whoever is not 100% out of Frawley and Georgiou.

    If they are both not right then bring in Gawn too.

    Hang on. That's pretty illogical. They play completely different positions. Byrnes stays. Agree with the rest.

    For now, he's in our best 22, yes.

    Best 10 off the top of my head are N Jones, Tyson, Dawes, Vince, Frawley, Viney, Garland, Howe, Cross, Grimes.

    If JKH plays like that again next week I'll be tempted to slot him into my top ten. He was sublime.

    That's an interesting post, P. I don't think I could name a top 10 I'd be happy to send out against anyone in the league. I agree with 8 of those. Howe is far too inconsistent and he's a very slow decision maker. Whereas, Grimes, jeez, he wouldn't get a game for many other teams. But, what this top 10 list does do is illustrate how far we have to go. At least, we have some direction now though.

    JKH's game was terrific on the weekend (with the exception of that missed shot out on the full). I'm liking what I'm seeing there.

    I agree, B, it's unlikely, but my thinking there was that it was an interstate trip and a quite taxing one. He also played more game time than they would have been expecting.

    • 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.

    • AFLW REPORT: Collingwood

      Expectations of a comfortable win for Narrm at Victoria Park quickly evaporated as the match turned into a tense nail-biter. After a confident start by the Demons, the Pies piled on pressure and forced red and blue supporters to hold their collective breath until after the final siren. In a frenetic, physical contest, it was Captain Kate’s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwood’s Grace Campbell after the siren which sealed a thrilling 4-point win. Finally, Narrm supporters could breathe easy.
