When Gawn is not going strong.

We all love big Max and he has played some pearlers this year.  

In all of our losses bar one (Norf) Max has done little outside of his rucking. ie marks, possies and goals.

In all of our wins Max has been awesome with his contested marking and work up forward.

Seems to be no middle ground.

Clearly we depend on him a great deal. 

Do we need to play 2 fulltime rucks so Max can tae more marks and kick more goals?

    I think we should play Spencer and Gawn in the same team and have a forward line with Hogan, Watts and the resting ruck man. Of course this is not going to happen because our coaches have a love affair with Dawes, but this would give us one of the most dominant ruck combinations in the comp and would give us a genuine advantage in most games.

    Gawn needs to find that consistency by the end of the year. Bridging the gap between our best and worst is what this season is about, both from a team perspective and an individual perspective.

    Spencer looked pretty good today against the Pies.

    There seems to be deftness to his tap work that I haven't noted before. Is this another tick for our man Stafford?

    But to fair, in last weeks conditions it was pretty hard to take big pack marks and kick big goals. He still got 50 HO

    Never disputing his ruck work and yea it was not a day for notching up marks but if you watch the game  unlike any of our wins  he couldnt get down forward to create havoc. And yes he was the sole ruck without Pedo but I guess thats essentially my point.

    Some days his marking is fantastic, others it's not so good and he just doesn't seem to get to as many contests. He has only just ticked over 50 games so it's possible that he's experiencing some fatigue... he'd be close to the most games played in a season already this year, wouldn't he?

    When hes marking around the ground we win. He needs more help than Pedo. Hes an agile big man that can turn a game around and would love to see him playing forward more.

    • 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.

    • 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.
