Changes are okay. Would prefer Pederson to Dawes and oscar is a worry.

    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. 

    If you haven't converted her yet you are lacking persuasive powers. Buy her a membership.

    That must be the understatement of the day dl4e.

    We just lost 140 games of experience from our already faltering back-line for a fixture against the Hawks. Yup.

    Generally good changes but I'm disappointed both Harmes and Kent have retained their places, yet again, whilst Kennedy is dropped instead.

    I'm confident OMac has held his spot because Garland was already out. I don't like it, but so be it.

    Grimes' time at this club must surely be coming to an end if he couldn't get a game this week.

    Excellent changes as far as player and type. We actually appear to have a more balanced structure. However Vandenberg after limited games is a worry with Oliver who struggles to play major mid minutes and Trengove who has not played at the level for some time. Can see us struggling to run out the game. I am also somewhat surprised one of Kent or Harmes did not also get the chop.

    That 140 games of experience has given us nothing this season

    I think the Oscar bashing here is appalling.  The guy has played 5 GAMES. 5 GAMES people.  He's a kid in a grown up game.  I heard Jade Rawlings speak about him the other night, and he asked supporters to focus on what Oscar does well, not just what he isn't doing.

    I for one am pleased that instead of a bloke like Garland or Dunn who have no more upside, we are blooding a guy the coaching team sees something in.

    Either way, the focus on a bloke that has played 5 games is absurd.  Let him learn the game.

    We started dating in early 2007. The last time we won was 2006. Urgh. That might be a funny idea. She doesn't even want to come along with me this week. She's a bit scared of me I think.

    I don't think we can actually afford to cut more than one of Kent, Harmes and Kennedy. Their pressure roles are vital to our forward press.

    People are bashing him about not being ready. No one thinks he doesn't have a chance to make it. But at the moment he is a major liability in the back line due to his build, strength, endeavor and nouse. Let him learn those things in the VFL and give him time bulking up.

    Well happy to see Dawes back to give Hogan a hand up forward. Obviously rapt to see Jack back and Vanders just gives us that bigger body in the midfield. Frost can help Gawn with the ruck and happy to see Oliver back.

    I feel sorry for Dunn though. I mean a couple of seasons ago he stayed loyal and signed with the club, I know he hasn't been great this year but Id have him before Oscar this week against the hawks.

    Hawks are blooding a first gamer and 'resting' Will Langford against us.

    they still treat us with contempt. When are we going to take it to them ?

    Yes this is a surprise to me. He's big and strong but I would have thought short of match fitness.

    Poetic licence

    I do ride some days, but only if no children want to come and the car is needed.

    I lock it up with a massive lock outside the members. 

    And its an electric bike, so the ride up Johnstone st. is easy on the legs whether we win or lose!

    • 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.
