Changes vs. Port

Realistically, we will probably only see one change:

In:  Hogan

Out:  Pedersen

That's not a knock on Pedersen, but if Hogan is right to go then he plays.  I reckon Weideman will probably get at least one more week in the seniors.

    Even if we'd lost, no way Weeds gets dropped on that performance.

    Every kick of Weideman was a goal. No other player in the history of the AFL/VFL can boast that!

    Why not?  It's not a negative thread.

    I just can't understand why people want to all of a sudden start talking about which players will be going out, five seconds after the players who did play brought us probably the best win we've had in 15 years.

    They have to keep play Weideman for the remaining games. Have to get matches into him

    No change. I don't care if Hogan is fit.

    After a performance like that it is hard to see any change that was not injury related.

    Honestly after a win like that how could you tap anyone on the shoulder and tell them they are out. The boys played as a complete unit, roll with no change.

    Hogan can wait another week.

    Garlett still is a concern. Does very little weeks on end.

    You have my vote chook.

    JKH got 4 goals for Casey and NB had 36 possessions. Surely both could be considered (or Salem)?

    Garlett is badly out of form. Harmes stays in by the skin of his teeth, love his endeavour but God he butchers the ball more often than not.

    I really like this in principle.

    The reality after listening to Roos' presser is that if Hogan is fit, he will come in. It's a matter of who will make way.

    Was he playing on Breust today? If so, mixed bag of a game. Broke an important tackle at half forward to set up one of our goals early in the game, then made some really poor mistakes later,

    IN: HOGAN

    OUT: GARLETT

    Garlett's too one dimensional if he's not kicking goals he does nothing, he needs to show some form in the VFL. Pedersen should stay but I'm worried we may be too tall having Watts, Hogan, Weideman and Pedersen in the same forward line.

  • Quote

    Pederson gives us heaps. Every time he comes him he adds another dimension and unlike Hogan doesn't just look for frees . Hogan will come good, but atm,  I would keep going with the current lineup.

    Barring injury, I reckon that will be it.

    In: Hogan, JKH

    Out: Garlett, Pedersen

    Pedo would be very stiff in this case. He would be out for team balance alone.

    Garlett would be back in the magoos to get some form. I reckon we need to take a look at JKH for a couple of games to see if he is worth persisting with.

  • Quote

    garlett is definitely out of form, but still have the most i50s of anyone in the side - even when he's having a poor run, he's still obviously trying even if he's not able to impact.

    • 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.
