    Would be great to 'trial' a few up in Darwin and leave some key players on ice for Geelong the week after. We all know we don't back up well from the Darwin games and I think the Cats are more gettable. Maybe keep McDonald out, bring in Michie for Viney, georgiou in for Terlich, may as well rest Jamar and let Gawn and Pederson get smashed by Sandilands. Wouldn't hurt to put Tapscott in to 'take care' of Ballantyne.

    Source???

    Won't reveal my source, but the same one that gave me info on Barry debut last week before it was announced.

    Certainly not worth flying anyone who is "marginally fit" or carrying a significant soft tissue injury up to Darwin. That is NOT tanking by the way - player injury management.

    Cats are gettable? Surely you jest?

    I've watched a few Cats games this year and yes, I think they are more gettable than the Dockers.

    Frawley making it tough for Hawkins, Jetta on Motlop, Vince on Selwood. If we can guide them to the flank and pocket and restrict their run through the middle it's game on.

    Although it would require us playing a whole 4 quarters of football. Not the 2 or 3 we have seen lately.

    Yeah, that last line.

    We simply can not, in these next three weeks, allow 40 minutes where the other team are the only ones interested in attacking the game.

    You go into your shells against the best teams and they will bury you.

    I am not surprised the players have gone into their shells early against Essendon and the Bulldogs - they have spent 2 years in their shells against all teams.

    I am pleasantly surprised that they have come out of their shells while the punishment is occurring.

    It's progress.

    White knuckled, frustrating progress...

    Bit disappointing.

    30 touches and 8 tackles not enough to dislodge some of the riff-raff from Sunday's game.

    Needs to back it up.

    although casey got pumped, it was good to see tapscott had some positive feedback and pushing for selection. I really want him to have a solid crack at getting himself back in to the seniors. if theres a suitable sub i wouldn't mind seeing him getting a run.

    perhaps replacing terlich if he's out.

    Don't think possessions are the measure. Michie had similar numbers against Box Hill and got nowhere. JKH has had 2 ordinary games before Willy so probably looking for consistency.

    Out: M jones, bail, Terlich, nicho.

    In: any but those four.

    I have never been a fan Bail. He has pace but no footy nous. Of the other 3 M Jones & Terlich VFL - Nicholson back to VAFA - he can't kick no footy nous lacks endeavour.

    Georgiou to back line Howe to forward pocket

    I was a little worried about Howes form early in the year and last year he was providing cameos but not much more. He now seems to be finding the football and involved in the play much more and besides a few dodgy disposals and decisions he has been valuable down back. I would leave him there.

    The only thing I would have tried is late last week - throw him for the last 10 minutes to the forward line to stand on someones head. (ie take a mark)

    Some players never play well at VFL but do at AFL. I'd have him in for his X factor. We don't take the game on.

    Can confirm TMac is up in Darwin and a good chance to play.

    I have family staying in the same hotel, and have received pictorial evidence.

    Heres hoping!

    yeh, I guess he will need a run at some time before the years up… work out if we keep him or not

    Most players who never play well at VFL, never do at AFL level either.

    • 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.
