    Watts for Aish

    Pick 3 on aggressive utility

    Aish, Brayshaw , Viney, Salem, Toumpas, Tyson, Petracca, Trengove

    Midfield is looking ok..

    Midfield is looking even better if you put N. Jones and Vanders in it (& maybe even Neal-Bullen).

    I think you are a trifle heroic if you think Aish (a South Australian) would prefer to come here when both teams in his home state are more likely to provide him with a chance of playing in finals. Also what would motivate Brisbane to trade him for Watts?

    I get the feeling we will be seeing up and downs all year, like the GWS second half downer... screws with our emotions and expectations

    still, I'll take ups and downs as opposed to just downs like recent years

    7 wins this season is par for me, any less is a fail and no finals 16, 7 wins or more and we should be around 8th to 10th 2016

    Not sure if it's evidence of us being recognised as a genuine side or not, or just that we have at least one decent player, but I'm loving seeing Nate Jones everywhere lately.

    Depends how you want to look at it to be honest.

    He marketable and recognisable. Still only ranked 100 in the league. Has a face and demeanour that stands out, easy for people to remember. He needs to go up a level though.

    If we finally have a good run of injuries in 2016, we could be chance. Hawks have one player unavailable at the moment, a kid yet to play a game. That's unheard of for us.

    Anyway, without knowing who we may pick up/lose with FA/trade, my 2016 team is:

    Garland McDonald Frost

    Jetta Dunn Salem

    Vince Viney Lumumba

    Watts Hogan Kent

    Howe Dawes Garlett

    Gawn Jones Tyson

    Vandenberg Cross Brayshaw Petracca

    Unlucky or depth: JKH Toumpas Stretch ANB Trengove Pederson Spencer M Jones Grimes First round pick. Was speaking to BMac at training who said Mitch White could really come on as e rebounding defender.

    If the youngsters continue to come on, we will finally have good footballers playing in the VFL.

    Can't see Howe being here next year.

    We could be competing for the 8th spot by next season but I don't think we will get in.

    Maybe 2017 more like it.

  • Quote

    I think we'll be pushing around tenth to seventh place next year. We're a sneaky chance for finals but I wouldn't bet the house on it.

    Will be a pity if we make finals and then the coach leaves.

    Let's not forget the quick rise and fall of Port Adelaide. A kick of the grand final to being an also ran a year later. Anything can happen. Basing next year on this year's form is fools gold. We could get much better, or we could stall.

    Ask me midway into next season and I will give you an answer.

    We're playing a very different style of game plan to Port, whose high-risk, high-reward falls down when key players lose form. We're playing a hard fought contested game, but we're also very pretty to watch when we are attacking, particularly coast-to-coast on the slingshot. Roos is building a game style that will succeed in September. We just need to get the personnel right.

    • 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.
