MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION - Round 11

Featured Replies

Easily the best changes (excluding Viney's injury) all year.

I'm stoked that vandenBerg is back in the team, but is he fit?

No idea why we have kept Oscar McDonald, I would prefer another runner in the team

 

Significant changes needed to be made after last week's showing, and that is what has been done.

Bigger, harder bodies will be needed against the Hawks, and that is what has been done.

All looks good to me!

Will be interesting to see where Frost plays, and Im shocked to see Vanders back  already but very glad he is.

Vanders played in the VFL before they had the state game last weekend.

No doubt after the game we may hear "yeah VB was a bit under done we prob shouldn't have brought him in" or something along those lines!

Big wake up call for ANB, smashing the door down for Casey is only just the beginning.... Needs to work harder still.

happy with the changes, grimes stiff!

I like this weeks ins all big bodies 

Looking forward to some big bumps..

I missed the Port debacle (have seen the stats), surely Kennedy is stiff to be omitted? Had a very solid year and should be allowed a quiet game.

I would be staggered if Frost doesn't make his defensive debut for the Dees.

With Watts, Hogan and Dawes up forward , we don't require a fourth tall fwd. 

I would think Frost will get a job on Sicily or O'brien.

Jetta on Puopolo

Hunt to be given his biggest challenge ever on Rioli simply because he's our fastest defender

Tommy Mac on Gunston. Much better matchup than Roughead (wish him well)

O Mac on Either Sicily or O'Brien

Wagner on Breust

Unlike last week I feel we have some structure up forward and down back. Three talls up fwd (Dawes, Watts and Hogan) and three talls down back (The 2 Macs and Frost).

Ofcourse it's going to mean bugger all if they smash us out of the centre and Isaac Smith and Brad Hill control the 2 wings.

I query Vanders ability to run out the game???

Really hoping we can be competitive in this one and then back it up with a win over Collingwood.

His ankle might still not be 100%

Looks good to me too and I'm not scratching my head like I have been for multiple weeks.

There's a lot to look forward to on Saturday now, Trenners you bloody beauty, Dawes big body in the forward line and Frosty debuting down back, VDB and Oliver hmmmm.

Well I have to say really happy with changes bar one! How the hell does Oscar Mc Donald Still STILL get a game! He is worse than Glenn Giles and thats saying something! Unbelievable!

Also ,Well done Jack Trengove , I wrote him of, but this is fantastic news!

Might have preffered Grimes over Van der thing  BUT!?

May have seen the last of Dunn and Grimes in an MFC jumper ... Newton and ANB have their work cut out as well if they want to stay on the list, though ANB has youth on his side.

A few others can consider themselves lucky.

Not sure about not seeing Dunn and Grimes again in a Dees jumper, but certainly in doubt for 2017. VDB played reduced minutes and not that well and is still favoured over Grimes who has played very well at Casey. They both must be very upset and probably see no future at the club. 

Good changes. 

Will be interested to see if Dawes and Trengove can slot back to into the highest level against the reigning premiers.

its an unlikely upset , but my gut tells me we can do it.

Only when my gut is full of red wine.

Im going.. because of Trenners...  Ill sit on the fence, in the members near the race. And cheer like a child when they come on and off the ground, and when Trenners goes near the ball I will stand up and cheer, and when he kicks a goal I'll cry... Funny thing football, what it does to you.

For years Ive hated going to Hawthorn home games. They are so SMUG... and when they win they just ... look SMUG! As if we NEVER had a chance, why did we bother... And don't mention Jeff SMUG Kennett!  And don't mention 2000. Or Dermott smarty pants 5x 5x Brereton... I wont go on.

So this week... Im going over the top supporter wise.... and if we win.... my bike ride home up the Johnston st. hill will be the easiest its been in yrs..

This side looks like it could win....

If you saw my stat rankings you would probably change your view SS. Ranked stone cold bottom last week. Really stunk It up.

Risk playing AVB. I think he hasn't played a full vfl game yet so is give him an extra week

great to see a tall in frost added down back and in Dawes up front

ben ken is a bit stiff 

grimes must be starting to lose motivation. With 4 mids/half fwds coming out, he looked a likely in


Great changes. Agree with all of them. Frost to play back too. Be very interesting to see how he goes.

A big weekend for me. If we can somehow beat Hawthorn it'll be the first step in converting my fiancée (of nine years) to the mighty red and blue.

Hawks team is an interesting mix of premiership stars and very young lads

not impossible

I'm vandenBerg's biggest fan but this selection is confusing.

  • 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.
