It's worth noting that this wasn't their B side this time. I don't know if they had some of their first side out, but most of the big names looked to be there. No Bont I think. Even so, we had more names sitting it out than they did.

    Lewis top ballwinner.

    Smith was huge in the first half, didn't notice him as much in the latter.

    Salem is all class, but we knew that. 

    Jones and Viney the usual. 

    Oliver was good and did freakish things.

    Garlett had a heap of assists. Very unselfish game.

    HOGAN! Four goals five marks.

    Vince was our second biggest ballwinner, but I hardly noticed him. 

    Tracca was solid but needs more ball. 

    Wagner injured. Looked like a knee from here. He overextended trying to impact a marking contest and landed really badly. 

    Thanks mate

    From our best 22 you could argue we were five down - jetta, watts, tyson, frost and kent.

    how many were the dogs down? 

    Fox commentators were certainly claiming the dogs were down in comparison, but I'm not so sure.  Watts, Tyson and Jetta are big outs for us.

    It's only pre season don't get ahead of ourselves. At least that is what I'm telling myself after watching that.

    Plenty to like about especially from some of the

    new recruits

    Players who were limited last season 

    Some of our younger boys.

    Ok Pennant calm down

    That's because the idiots on Fox Footy don't even know what our best 22 is.

    As mentioned, Watts, Jetta, Hibberd, Tyson & Kent are all best 22.

    They had no Bontempelli, Wood, Morris, Picken, Boyd & Smith.

    So fairly similar in regards to best 22 and the numbers out.

    Of course the AFL website only mentioned the players the Dogs have out as it helps their biased narrative.

    Ah yep, Hibberd too.

    Their outs better than our outs, i guess. A win is a win is a win

    I agree. But it annoys me how the commentators harp on about it when we also have guys out.

    I didn't get to watch the game but it seems the midfield's were both at near full capacity, how did we stack up?

    True, but our outs aren't that far behind.  It's not as if it was a huge gap like everyone was trying to trumpet so they can downplay our performance and make excuses for the media darlings.

    I know I was a little harsh of your prediction earlier OD - I just like to keep the optimism up to kick off the year.  If I go in looking at a game and thinking we can't win then I'm in for a long year!

    We have had  quite a few long years in the last decade so I look forward to along year of wins in 2017.

    Yeah this is the issue. There's no doubt we played an under-strength Dogs side but it's not like last year where we put our best 22 against their worst 22 and fell over the line.

    He is only a backman, they are not the smartest players going round.

    Tommy holds his own pretty well though and after a start that had the commentators salivating that he was the recruit of the year, Oscar did a pretty good job on Cloke.

    These commentators can talk some smack. Gerard Healy was impressed with Wagner's speed off half back last year. WTF? He's as slow as a turtle (has some other, good traits of course). I'm no doctor but Wagner's injury might be an achilles. Sad for him.

    Joel Smith will play 100+ games for us, lock it in.

    You agree with our Development Coach.

    Their outs diminished them more than ours.  They had multiple All-Australians missing.

    That said, I thought we controlled the bulk of the game and a 2 goal win at their dunghole is nothing to sneeze at.

    A good hitout and the coaches will get as much out of it as the players.

    I don't think those guys are definite best 22 so left them out.

    Strong squad though!

    • 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.
