In: Vince, Dawes

Out: Toumpas, Frost

I advocated keeping Toumpas previously, but I can't see who else could go out on that performance. Despite the fumble I still think he's stiff.

Frost for Dawes only on team balance. It has to be a tall and there are no other candidates. Don't know who rucks for 5 mins per quarter though. Hogan?

 

Great position to be in!

Frost is second ruck so can't see him going out. Agree with Vince for Toumpas. Perhaps Kent will go out for Dawes due to concussion.

 

Great position to be in!

Yes! We may be in the 8...maybe top 4.

I don't care that it is only rnd 1 and it may not last!

But it will be great as long as it lasts!!!!!!

Can't see us going to so much trouble to recruit Frost only to drop him from a winning squad? He showed great run.

Sends the wrong message to drop him.


In - Bernie

out - Toump

As much as I wanna see Dawes and Hogan cracking opponents heads cant drop anyone for him at this stage

See who is sore I guess...

Hogan rucking will put a few hearts in mouths - I don't think they have trained him for that - neither Dawes.

I think you are looking elsewhere for the bloke replacing Dawes.

Maybe Vanders?

Jeez, Chris might be at Casey next week...

He won't, but I think we'd all agree that whoever makes way will be bloody unlucky.

[censored] Dawes, earn your way back in.

Vince in, Notwines out.

Vanders was playing a very forward role...

And doing it well! He stays!


Drop Vanders?! What? He's not leaving the team until he strings together 3 stinkers at a minimum.

Vandenberg was absolutely brilliant

The contested mark, the smother, the goal

Zero chance Roos or anyone else would even entertain the though of dropping him

Booo

And doing it well! He stays!

Drop Vanders?! What? He's not leaving the team until he strings together 3 stinkers at a minimum.

I guess Roos has to decide whether he wants more vets in this young side, or whether to not drop a player who has played well.

I have played/captained/coached in good teams - in form players get dropped.

We are just not used to that...


Toumpas for Vince is a no brainer.

Frost is the only option for Dawes; Brayshaw, Jamar and Kent are the only other players with less than 13 disposals and all played their role well. Jamar obviously is safe. And I think swapping for either of the other two mixes up Tan balance a bit.

It wouldn't surprise me if we go with Dawes for Kent and ask Frost to pay a more mobile role on a flank rotating into the middle etc.

Dawes was silly to get suspended and had an ordinary NAB Cup and an ordinary 2014.

He can earn his spot in the VFL. That's how good teams roll.

In: Vince

Out : Toumpas

The Suns are a small side. I think we will need to go taller next week. I'm sure Hogan will benefit from Dawes leadership up forward.

It is a massive call.

In some ways I'd like to see this point made. It would be an amazing moment for the MFC. But on the other hand, assist from occasional on field brain snaps, Dawes is a serious and well respected leader of the playing group and (probably only for another few weeks) our number one forward. It is hard not to find a spot for him.

Good teams also play their best 22 and disappoint some blokes (and fans).

  • 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.

  • 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.
