The forward experiment didn't work, we all knew he was a defender or nothing, so let's just move on.

FWIW, I felt he tried to take players on too much today, with some attempts at selling candy or sidestepping opponents resulting in turnovers or him getting tackled. But he certainly looks far more comfortable down back and with his speed and athleticism he can provide us with rebound too.

That's actually what I liked so much about his game again today. His first instinct as a defender is to attack. He is the new breed of Melbourne defender. Gets the defensive job done and turns the play into an offensive one straight away. This is clearly how our FD want our defenders playing, hence Garland and Dunn being out.

    Bingo.

    Didn't a great capt in the club once start his career in defense and built up to become a pretty powerful tal forward (Neitz)

    Frost definitely looks suited to the roll and should stay CHB for games where we've definitely lacked height and caught out at times

    Only because the Ox, Lyon and Jackovich we not down. He was a better defender.

    We will keep seeing this from all Dees players, they have said they have been told to be bold and take the game on. We are a second from glory and a second from disaster... It will get much better as we move through the year and into next year and we will be incredibly enjoyable to watch but have some drop offs.

    • 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.
