6 - N.Jones - some brain fades but was indefatigable and prolific

5 - Gawn - dynamic and dominant in the centre

4 - Frost - may have come of age.. a joy to watch coming out of defence

3 - Kent - aggressive , feisty and clever

2 - Watts - has been better this year but performed all over the field

1 - M.Jones - unfashionable but has improved significantly over the year

6. N Jones - Th next person who says this bloke isn't an A grade footballer needs to uppercut themselves immediately

5. Gawn - Star

4. Frost - Best of the back six. Finally starting to use his size and strength along with his speed

3. M Jones - Have to go close to his best game for the club. Didn't do a thing wrong all day that I can recall

2. Kent - A mixed bag but the good outweighed the bad. Very laconic at times, to put it kindly

1. Tyson - Lots of the ball, lots of tackles, lots of work rate, could've used it lots better

Jack Viney got caught too many times trying to gat onto his left side . Good side will block him off too easy

We continually criticise tornoveres from the defence, but ignore the midfield turnovers whic leave us even more vulnerable

6 Gawn - Really tried to lift us and was noticeable when he was off because Watts was killed in ruck area.

5 N.Jones - Not always clean but kept working. 

4 Frost - Great dash from the backline. Why did we all have to wait until Round 11 for him to be played as a defender.

3 T Mac - A couple of late kicking howlers spoiled what was a superb game - he wasn't Robinson Crusoe with the poor kicks though - hence no Vince or Viney this week.

2 Kent - Ran his heart out pressuring and if only Dawesy had figured out he was free early in last quarter.

1 Petracca - Great to see him really use his kicks well. He will be something - just not this year.

Apologies: Yes I did notice Matt Jones and had him in my top four Dees at half time. He faded in second half though. His best game yet for us though and there won't be any calls from me for his omission next week. Indeed it would be hard to find anyone worthy of the axe next week. We kick well and we win away by five goals.

Sorry I just realised I left out Tyson - who was our best player to half time. With more time he gets 3 from me and the others move down one.

Love it when it's difficult to limit the votes to 6 and pray for the days when this is a regular occurrence

6. N Jones -awesome captains display willed himself to win contests and was everywhere with his run on the outside 

5. Gawny - went up against 2 ruckmen intent on jumping into him all day and a 3rd man up but won hands down and was influential around the ground 

4. Kent - fantastic run and pressure acts all day. Used the ball really well and providing more than just dash at last

3. Frost - clear best defender on the ground who not only dominated with muscle and size but provided plenty of dash out of the backline 

2. Viney -just hard at it all day ran himself into the ground to get on the end of kicks and handballs to provide a link up

1. Petracca - very clean in conditions which weren't helpful to this but his ball use was exceptional. Showed great strength and power

Apologies to Watts Matty Jones Tyson and Stretch

Watts and Stretch get in because every time they get the ball we get another possession.  The rest are self explanatory.  I'm surprised by the love for Kent.  Great last half but he touched it 4 times in the first half and in addition tried to mark a ball in the square that was going through. If he'd reversed his half's he wouldn't have got much recognition.

We desperately need him to get some consistency through games because he adds so much when he's on.  He never inspires confidence with the ball and misses what many get. To me he's a very frustrating player.

They did seem to have an influence, didn't they?

Less angry today but, yes, there's no doubt they did yesterday. We do need to take it out of the umpire's hands though.

If West Coast has a three goal advantage at home we need to be a four goal better side (Confucius)

  • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

    Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

  • 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.
