    Hunt did not have his greatest game today, let's be honest, but calling for him to be dropped on the back of it is just ridiculous IMHO...

    Was one of the only ones to attempt to run and carry and even when he did lose the ball in the last quarter, he quickly bounced back and laid a ripping tackle.

    The kid has the attributes of a great player and dropping him when there were clearly another 10 players worse than him is just plain stupid...

    Having said that, the coaching staff will probably drop him :huh:

    Dunn can go and stay gone. Pathetic.

    Harmes can make may for ANB or Oliver.

    Lumumba should be made accountable for his poor performance. In: best performed defender for Casey.

    One of Frost or Pedo needs to go.

    Harmes looked proppy, injury?

    Kent was terrible, but if Harmes is injured he may stay in.

    Salem concussed so he is out.

    the backs I will give leeway to as the ball came out of our fwd area and midfield and they were constantly outnumbered which I put down to laziness and poor coaching.

    ANB and Oliver would have to be certainties. Maybe Trenners, might be good to play his first afl game back away from vic?

    We now have 'depth'.  The Match Committee must now be true to their word and use it!  I'm now really looking forward to the Casey Game to see who stakes their claim.

    Lumumba, anybody? Anybody?

  • Quote

    Depending on form of Casey players.....

    Frost out - play Patracca there in his place for a majority of the game.

    Hames out - rest if need be but he would have to come back through Casey.

    Wagner out - looked a pace too slow today.

    ANB in - he has the form at Casey, a bit of pace and can kick a goal

    Trengove in - has Casey form and should not be held back

    Oliver in - first four weeks was excellent. Will be interesting to as how he goesfor Casey.

    if there are others at Casey tomorrow that put there hand up there are plenty more today that could be dropped on from and effort. Garland for Lumumba anyone?

    Garland needs to stand tall tomorrow and put his hand up. Our situation is calling out for some seniority in the backline. Dunn and T Mac lowered their colours badly today.

    Call me crazy, but I'd play Garland forward.  He would give more than Pedersen and Frost.  Just a thought.

    Oliver should have come straight back in after his rest...only a few games but he is a very important cog...

    Your crazy. Period. 

    Trenners will not play this week. No chance. He is a few games back in the VFL after 2 years out ffs

  • Quote

    I'd stick with Petracca at AFL level and Brayshaw at VFL for now, let Gus find some form

    ANB has been in good form so bring him and oliver in

    Pending performances for Casey

    OUT: Salem (conc), Harmes (cork), Kent (omit), Hunt (omit), Frost (omit) & one of T McDonald/Dunn

    IN: M. Jones, O. McDonald, Neal-Bullen, Oliver, Stretch, Trengove

    Michie, Grimes & Garland the emergencies.

    Salem failed the concussion test and word is Harmes may have a corkie. Hunt could probably go back to Casey to work on some things for a week or so while Kent needs to learn some consistency and Frost needs to learn how to find the ball. As for Tommy Mc & Dunn, you could drop either. Good 3 week period to bring Oscar in anyway given Gold Coast, Bulldogs & Brisbane don't have huge 2nd key forwards.

    We lack key defenders, Frost is a key defender but for some reason we are trying to make him into a forward pocket.

    Yes and no.

    Frankly he's just not a footballer. He is an athlete and one that we've taken a punt on. 

    Has some really special and gifted athletic abilities that are the reason he is playing AFL. 

    But he has a limited ability to play the game and really I see him being just as lost as a defender, (especially as part of a zone defence) as he is a forward.

    Really we just need Weideman to come on as quickly as possible.

    For the love of Barassi, if Tom McDonald isn't attached to Tom Lynch like [censored] glue from the opening bounce next week, I will actually lose my [censored].

    I agree, I don't think he should be in the team but if he is to be in the team it must be as a key defender.

    His past 2 weeks he has been good with his run. Today was his old way when he just got caught. Id drop dunn before him. Id bring in Col and drop Dunn. 

    Hunt at least tried to run it out the backline.

    Salem may miss because of concussion.

    • 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.
