I think he's still in the top 22, or bottom 6 - either way, there's not much excitement at Casey coming through.

Not true - casey smashed port and Michie and Riley had monster games. Done enough imo.

Dawes is behind Pedo - he's best is behind him

    Michie and Riley are good VFL players who struggle to make the jump to AFL level.

    They were worth recruiting but IMO they will always be depth players at best.

    why not Dawes out for Spencer in?

    And Spencer and Gawn can swap as the second tall forward

    Personally I would like to see Fitzy brought back in and try Tommy Mac up forward for another week. It cannot do any harm especially as they are both of a similar age and have potential to play in our spine going forward.

    Dawes will play....no other choice.

    Sadly I suspect that you will be proven correct.

    However Spencer as a deep forward could hardly offer less. Can mark. Can and will ruck. Can kick goals (when his foot actually contacts the ball). Can and does tackle - CD#6 had zero tackles last week. Zero tackles from "an imposing big man" is far too few.

    T Mac stays down back. He has to go back to playing in front and taking those intercept marks. It smells of Frawley putting him forwards. And Frawley smells of [censored] and [censored].

    Would be happy with that

    I like Spencer, he gave us plenty when he was in the team.

    Yep Dawes definitely Out

    Garland or Howe out for Grimes. Not sure about ANB

    That will do!

    Can you define can kick goals? And can mark, is that can mark inside 50 as well?

    Different type of players.

    Pedo is still injured I think?

    Out for the season. While we have a great injury list it's frustrating because it feels those that those who are out could solve some constant selection issues.

    The Lions midfield looks ominous on paper. They haven't clicked yet, lets just hope its not this week.

    Risky against a quick side like Brisbane. Only have to look at our last handful of games against GWS. Last year on the 'G, Gawn played forward. We got killed off half back. Too slow. Having said all that, I'd take the risk though and try to stretch them like we did Geelong.

    Of course! It seems funny at the time but the subs always cry after a jolly good flogging!

    I swear I just jump between threads and find you saying exactly the same thing, BBO. :P

    Is it any riskier than Dawes playing? Give Spenser a crack and I'd like to see Newton given a couple of games in a row. Outside run is great, so is moving the ball quickly by foot.

    That was Tomlinson having a field day against Dawes.

    Gawn was shown up more, IMO.

    I just remember Tomlinson having the game of his life running off Dawes.

    One things for sure 'Adam', Max is a ruckman and not a forward and if we go in too tall we get killed.

    I would prefer us to go in with Tommy Mc or Frost when available forward and pinch hitting in the ruck. Petracca will step in as a forward/mid next year but maybe another mobile forward would help if (when) Howe goes.

    • 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.
