    This is all David Kings fault...... or maybe Jack Watts

    Injuries are part of Football. The lord giveth, the lord taketh away. Remarkable how often sheer bad luck descends on the chosen few. I wish them all the best. I really feel for them. Every club seems to have that tragic warrior. Once again, I really feel for those poor baaastards.

    Watts lacking intensity, Kent back, Ben Ken battling something, JKH arm, Vanders foot, Garlett hammy and Hannan got his teeth knocked out. Not a great time to be a demon half forward right now!

    ANB playing half forward in round 1? That worries me.

    I wouldn't mind a look at Hannan if he's right to go against the Eagles.

    And if Jetta isn't first choice as a defender these days I'd try him as a pressure forward, he did have some decent games there back in the day.

    I don't want to jinx us but there a time was when we were showing promise and the injuries that crippled us were Swatrz, Lyon, Tingay etc...

    Our current list has serious x-factor on every iine now. 

    We can cope with the above injuries.

    Going to be tough to beat St Kilda without a half forward line.

    Hopefully the Saints players are like Spud Frawley and think Alex and Neal Bullen are two different people. They won't be able to stop him.

    Real disappointed for JKH. Spoke with him at Family Day, real nice young bloke. He was excited about the season and potentially breaking into the 22. Hopefully its just the 4 weeks but you`d expect Jeffy to be well back by then and he may miss his chance and have to dominate at Casey to get a look in.

    Hoping JKH can keep the running up to maintain his tank. Looking forward to seeing what he can do this year.

    JKH with a broken arm, out for four weeks.

    vandenBerg with a foot injury, not sure how bad.

    Poor guy - just cannot take a trick.

    Speedy recovery, JKH.

    I am more concerned about VDB, maybe his body is just not made for AFL with constant ankle and now potential foot issues. We are certainly looking at lacking some small forward spark for round 1.

    ...not to mention GWS in the Granny. :(

    I'd like to see Trengove tried as a half forward if fully fit. The guy is a great mark and a reliable set shot. With Vanders out great chance to see if he could play that role. 

  • Quote

    Injuries will happen and, with all due respect to the players involved, I'm just relieved that it's not one of our key players.  We won't avoid injuries during the year so if we can minimise their impact as best we can then we should be okay.

    It will be interesting to see who plays as the smaller type forwards next week against West Coast.  Kent may be right by then, but it may give someone like a Johnstone, Trengove or ANB a look in for Round 1.  Hopefully someone bobs up and takes their chance.

    I don't get it. Yes it's disappointing for JKH and AVB but they were not going to be best 22 players anyway. They've already said Kent, Tyson and Jetta will be right against WCE. We'll have to wait  and see on Garlett

    Both were in my best 22 for round 1. Kent and Garlett might both be ok to play but I would've taken the fit and healthy guys in over them. Garlett after a month off and Kent after just 1 decent run aren't ideal.

    • 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.
