  All of those ready to throw the towel in - a little perspective please, it is only NAB.  We are competing well despite missing our strongest mids, away, against a team that played last week AND the game is far from over.....

 

Pfft .... Same sheet , different year.

Love the way Kent can dodge the opposition.

You can tell that before half time of our first NAB cup game? Take a breath bra.

What annoys me is how we are able to steady the scoring rate for a period of time, then the wall just collapses and the opposition get very quick consecutive goals. It just kills our momentum.

We seem to find it very hard to score, whereas the opposition do it in a cakewalk.

Very unimpressed with Ben Kennedy and Frost.

 

Halftime:

what I like:

watts

robbie gray

olivers effort 

jeff garlett

Max Gawn's tap work

jetta 

 

what I don't like:

our disposal

our forward line structure and entries

brayshaw's knee

our recruits (bugg, Kennedy?) too eary to call obviously 

our composure

tyson's "composure"

Been watching us for a long time bra and I can tell.
There might be a little improvement but its tiny.

 


Kent just dropped the mark and u heard him say f a r k through the tv. Priceless!

good to c he was annoyed with himself. 

Not actually that bad, defensively we have been pretty poor, but expect come game day next year we would clog the ground up a lot more. Posters want a more open and attacking game style and the result of this will be more goals against when it doesn't work. 

Looks like we are often standing in front of our opponents and therefore we are losing ground to opponents and they are getting out behind us. 

Gawn looks to be dominating the ruck

watts has looked good

oliver very promising 

both McDonald's look lost

dont think Hunt has had any of the footy but competing well in one v ones

Pederson < Dawes in providing an option up the field for team mates

 

Overall panicky and slow

Frost is coming from a long way back though DeeZee.

Yes but I don't want excuses this year I want a 22 I can rely on.

Viney is going to have a stellar year!!

Oliver is very impressive too! 

Does anyone know much about Brayshaws injury? Any chance he did an ACL?

Agree.  Never seen Frost do anything really and Kennedy looks VFL standard.

But Max, Clarrie, Hoges and some others going alright.  Early days.  Hope AB injury is not season ending cos we will really need him.

 

Kennedy has a panic attack every time he goes near the ball, keep him at Casey please.

Oliver looks great.

Few people need to chill out its pre season.

IF we still see this after a few rounds of the season then panic

Viney with 16 disposals at the half my word gonna have a cracker of a year

  • 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.
