Brayshaw could very well be on track to be our first 500 gamer.

Sure could, he looks like he can play until age 46 at least.

    It really is a concern when these professionals are "short of a gallop"

    How is it a concern?

    The players concerned (sorry ...) have been injured and are, yes, "short of a gallop". Which is why they were allowed to play for Casey in the first place.

    Yeah, well, I'm tipping him to be struck down my a mystery ear lobe injury and be forced in to retirement this week.

    Any takers for something in between?

    No, that's silly.

    I read today in tha Hun that Kent's heal injury was caused by a car hitting him on his bicycle over the summer. I thought it was from NAB game. Did anyone else know this?

    Why do we find all manner of off season ways to interrupt our player's development? from natural catastrophes to family deaths at the wrong time in indigenous homelands!

    Then he's done well to be hit by a car whilst riding a bike and only end up with a bruised heel.

    Thanks for all the reports, not internet access all weekend & just read through the 7 pages of reports.

    I think one of JKH or Kent should come into our team (even if a straight swap for Dawes). We were too tall last week vs essendon and didn't use that to our advantage. If it works well, the week after Dawes then comes in for Gawn (or Frost - who i would prefer down back).

    Sorry I accept that the original post did refer to the Melbourne players, I did not realise that these were all injured. Still would have thought that managemnt of their level would have seen them replaced to finish a game.

    Still its only a practice and if we have found out more then all good.

    I think we're always too tall since Roos took over. Would like to see us opt for some speed up forward to feed off Hogan/Pedo/Frost/wheover bringing the pill to ground. Gawn and Dawes never hold their marks anyway.

    The question did not get answered so I will ask this time, where is the Pedobear.

    I don't think the MFC "finds them" as such... unless of course a member of the staff or team was driving the car :lol:

    Surely many on here have played in practice matches before?

    Surely it's not that foreign a concept that you go "ok, had a good half / 3/4 of footy, now fatigue is setting in & thats when injuries happen. Let's just now focus on getting the extra run in our legs & come out unscathed, ready for round 1."

    I'd say that's a popular theme amongst anyone playing in a praccie match, and should be the focus of our players.

    Hands off panic buttons please.

    Also, in regards to Brayshaw, we should all be mindful that a class above at VFL level does not equal a class above at AFL level, or even that a kid is ready to consistently contribute there.

    True, but for his development he'll be far better off at AFL level if he's ready.

    Ollie Wines had ordinary endurance when he was drafted by Port Adelaide, but has managed to play 49 games straight. How much do you think that development will have helped him coming into his third year of football ?

    From a talent and development perspective it makes complete sense to get as many games as possible into him.

    That's ordinary for a mid.

    Petracca did 14.12 at DC and he's not known for his endurance.

    • 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.
