Just wanted to give credit where credit is due. Reckon our handball and pressure in and around congested packs has improved greatly from previous years. Well done to the boys and Roos/FD on this.

Much work needed on the outside/run work side though. Still handballing to stationary targets behind at times when the best option is forward and/or the overlap. Lumumba the biggest offender here last week. Running himself into trouble when a 2nd handball (after the old 1 / 2) forward or over the top on the overlap (as first option rather than continuing to run and carry after after the old 1/2 into congestion) is the better option for the team. Love his initial break away run but needs to work on this. Also players need to block for each other at times once he/others take off. Too many running in support for the receive. Can't all run and carry. Everyone needs to play their part.

Lumumba is a great potential asset off HB IF we can get the run and carry part fixed both with him and with what others are doing once he takes off.

    The remarks regarding the coach also came to me as a surprise. 

    The particular player has been on the outer (both omitted and injured) since Roos took the helm so it might just be sour grapes. 

    The remarks were that the players are actually looking forward to Goodwin taking over.

     

    Why did you actually feel the need to qualify your first post, you seemed to infer that it was 100% correct, can't be one of the 44 or so I speak regularly to

    With respect Saty, you don't seriously believe that players will tell a supporter they are not happy with the Coach, if they in fact are.

    • 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.
