Correct!

They're of zero worth when we come second. 

Agree. However if we should win all 3 then it is is sure sign we are finals bound......

 

I'm glad the Dogs have named a strong side. Falling over the line against the Pups again and then having the club and some on here cheering the victory doesn't interest me.

I hope they serve up a strong contest with their style of pressure around the ball and fast movement because that will really test our structural weaknesses.

we could have a thread "best excuse when losing a practice match"

And we'll be winning the flag when we win one.  There's never any in between - we are either doomed for bottom 4 if we lose on Saturday or destined for a top 4 finish if we win.

Not if you take my approach.....

One I'll be taking I think.  If we lose on Saturday then 'Watts would have made us a 6 goal better side' is what I'll be going with for the rest of the weekend.

Excellent.

And if we win, by say a goal, i'll say we would have won by 7 goals if Wattsy had played (and 10 if the umpires had not given the doggies an armchair ride)

Good to see us and Dogs have comparably strong line ups. should be a tight contest and will get the blood pumping again

Johnstone if kept in, will see this as his chance to steal an unliekly fwd pocket spot if he sparks

it will be great to see JT play and see Weed and Hoges along side each other

I'm predicting Tracca to have chins wagging after the game - the blokes a machine

Not sure you are correct about Petracca,    hope you are of course   But the others "Bring it On"   Go Dees !!!

Aren't we allowed to,play the rookies (Keilty/Smith)?

Nope they are, that's why Joel Smith is listed.

Another thing to note is for week 1 and 2, teams are allowed up to 8 interchange players with unlimited rotations so we should only see 2 of the 28 players dropped before the game.

Mark Stevens is a little late with his "news" re Smith.

Winning these challenges is largely irrelevant , but losing horrendously can be a portent of things to come.

 I think we'll be competitive and look forward to seeing an advanced game style and tangible progress from individuals.

I would say if we are ahead at any stage in the first quarter, the flag is in the bag.

Gee. This wouldn't be far from the likely predictions for a 'best team by the end of the year' sort of thing. Plus Watts and Tyson. Kent and Jetta absent but there are many questioning their future inclusion already. Pretty exciting to see Salem, Petracca, Oliver, Brayshaw, Hunt, Stretch and Weid all in the same team.

 

Jack Watts not a notable absentee according to the AFL website, but a no gamer from the Lions is?

We beat all of Port, Bulldogs & Saints last preseason and went 1-4 against those teams in the real stuff. It's fun to watch but it doesn't mean much.

  • 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.
