I liked that he kicked that centre clearance low and hard into our fwd 50 instead of another big up and under high ball. that's something we don't do enough of imo.

    Struggled to find his way however a couple of nice things as previously mentioned and I would certainly play him again this week now that one is under his belt.

    Got to love this....nice work.

    It looks like McEnvoy? came from the side a bit mindful that Kielty was running straight at him. Great work for a first gamer.

    Snap.

    Just saw the giph and thought exactly the same thing.

    The forwards didn't mark it but were able to bring it ground, which is a harder task when bombed high and/or to the defender's advantage

    Kielty's debut is an interesting experience in social media.  Drunkn is a fantastic contributor to Demonland and gives us a unique insight into how a player's family ride all the bumps with their son, brother, partner.  I have big hopes for Kielty and hope he has a fantastic career with us, but the site in general has been much more accommodating of him as a player than we have with most others.

    We would do well to remember that every player in our team has a family and afford them the same respect that we have for the number 45.

    He's played one game which we won. Wait a few weeks...

    He would want to do more to keep his spot in the team, especially when Weid finds form. But what a dream come true to play your first game off the rookie list in a win at the G.

    I'm more referring to people over the last few weeks calling for 'spuds' to be delisted whilst in their first year on a list.

    Calling for a player to be dropped is fine, it's the manner with which many deride young players trying their best that seems to have been missing in this particular case.

    TPF 39. Couldn’t agree more.

    I have had my say numerous times regarding disrespect being shown to players who despite trying their darndest, and having been successful in being selected for AFL lists turn out not to be stars (or even making the grade at all) being referred to as spuds or worse. 

    They obviously don’t understand that there is in all populations a normal distribution in which a large percentage are in the middle and small numbers at each end. There always has to be someone at the left end of the bell curve. That doesn’t make them spuds or duds.  They have at least achieved what most of us could only dream of. 

    Perhaps it is they who are at the left end of the bell curve when it comes to normal human empathy.

    • 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.
