Heard someone say that your not a serious contender without five or six high quality players competing for selection.

For everyone its clearly Gawn and Hogan.

Who are the other 4, assuming everyone from dogs game is included?

    JKH, Weiderman, Wagner, Trengove. On this metric, we're probably at least 3-4 players off premiership contention then...

    Stretch, Brayshaw, ???, ??? Definitely need another key position player pushing for selection.

    Another way of stating this metric is looking at the strength of your bottom six as selected.

    Our bottom 6 played well against the Dogs and the Pies but other than that our bottom 4-5 have been unsettled for weeks.

    Would love to see Stretch and Brayshaw force their way into a successful team rather than be part of the merry go round of ins and outs we saw earlier this season.

    If list fit, healthy and in form: Vandenberg, Brayshaw, Stretch, Wagner, Trengove, Smith, Weiderman, JKH, ...

    Both Smiths , but still a bit light on.  Based on this, the off season will be another very important one for our list managers to capitalise on our current (seemingly) strong position.

    It's the kind of throw-away comment that doesn't really hold up to scrutiny.

    It would have to be the five players on your list that wouldn't be in your best 22 if the entire list was fit, in form and available.

    Probably take your pick from:

    KENT

    BUGG

    STRETCH

    MELKSHAM

    WAGNER

    HARMES

    ANB

    AVDB

    WEIDEMAN

    That's a decent list of players that may not be in the best 22 if all are fit and available.

    Was kind of thinking the same thing which is why I wanted other opinions.Our top 22 is awesome but every team cops injuries. 

    Need to keep recruiting the way we have and a flag will come.

    Forgot about Brayshaw. Hes a big one. Agree with Wagner, Weid, Vanders and maybe stretch. Not a bad list then.

    • 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.
