Interesting selections. 

I'm surprised to see Garland still in there, but it shows how much he does behind the scenes I suppose. 

Massive rap for Gawn to be in there, he has taken huge strides this year (figuratively).

    Interesting our Vice captain from last year Lynden Dunn has been left out?

    I would have thought he'd be worthy of a place ahead of Garland, especially considering he's VC (presumably for a reason).

    Garland isn't still in it, he's back in it.... Garland haters on here will be livid!

    My thought exactly.

    Roos: We need a strong leadership group but we also need strong leaders in the team who aren't in that group.Leadership Group

    Roos: These six men lead the way in terms of how we want to be as a club.

    Captain: Jones

    LG: Colin Garland, Max Gawn, Tom McDonald, Bernie Vince and Jack Viney.

    Out: Cross, Grimes, Dawes, Lumumba, Dunn

    WOW!  Glad to see my smokey tip (Big Maxy) got in.

    Nice balance of experience and Youth - 3 of each!. 

    For mine we didn't get the on-field leadership when needed from the players that were in the LG.

    Very happy with this team.  Very well deserved by the new guys. And great to see Garland back in!!

    This is a major overhaul.  Only the Captain kept his spot.  Quite a message by the club.  I think it took some courage for the club to do this so cudos to them for that.

    Pretty sure VC is Vince given he was in that position in the team photo and on stage earlier

    Even photoshop won't let Tom and Jack get too close just yet.

    There will be no VC this year. That's our leadership group as it is.

    Any work done behind the scenes is appreciated but right now we need on field leaders, time to deliver.

    Grimes is another omission.

    With regards to your comment "For mine....when needed...."

    Your referring to the players omitted?

    Clearly he is an on field leader too. Wouldn't be picked otherwise. 

    No arguments from me, great selections all round!

    Grimes is borderline best 22, no point in him being in the leadership group if he's never on the park.

    We prefer to call ourselves Garland detractors. And I'm mildly disappointed rather than livid.

    I wouldn't say clearly, to me Dawes clearly was an on field leader. 

    But let's agree to disagree.

    The omissions and the inclusion of so many younger players is telling.

     

  • Quote

    Very good decision to put Viney, Gawn and McDonald in. They've played their way in to the role. Likewise taking Dawes and Lumumba out who should not have been given a free ride into it. Not super keen on Garland, maybe it'll help him capture his form of a few years ago but he didn't look the part last year even though he's the first to confess his love of the club

  • Quote

    I think the young players being included is important, they're going to be driving this club for the next 10 years, i would have thought Viney is currently a short priced favourite to take over from Jones as captain in the next few years

    Though I'm sure it would have been tempting to photoshop some of Gawn's excess beard onto Nat's head. And it seems they gave something of a smile to Col without making it look too unrealistic.

    Mahoney and Viney Snr have often talked about the list strategy being a core group of young players coming through together, so having those young leaders in there would definitely be a part of that strategy.

    Dunn going from VC to nothing and Garland opting back in are pretty curious.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • 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.
