    Remember though that players returning from injury can take time to find form and match fitness, as we have seen often and recently with some of our best players.

    For their first final v West Coast on the back of a loss to lowly Freo in round 23 in Perth as well as a week's break the Dogs brought back 5 players from injury, including Liberatore, Roughead, Macrae, Stringer, and Wood.  They won by 8 goals.

    It obviously doesn't mean it will always work, but it also doesn't mean your side won't reap immediate benefits.

    Saying the bleeding obvious.

    Therefore Hannan stays

    Might be a load of rubbish but another poster said the coaching staff were furious with Wagner's defensive game last week. He might be a smokey to miss.

    Really? He's always been a poor defender. I would rather see him played up the ground, if we have to have him at all.

    Big difference between players not playing for a week because they are being freshened up and players not playing for an extended period because they are injured.

    Seemed to be OK at getting a couple of goals.  Maybe HFF??

    Lucky Hannan.

    Which is the other lucky player that replaces the out of form Hogan?

    I think with mids coming back, our HF line will look a lot better (Trac and Hannan), and our whole forward setup should be so much better.  Add Watts into that, and our Forward 50 no longer has to be the twilight zone.  Will miss Garlett, and dont know who we should play instead

    Yeah, that's great, but they weren't being rested in round 23.  If they were merely being rested I wouldn't have bothered posting.  Get it ?  So my 'point' remains intact.

    FINALS contenders Hawthorn, West Coast and the Western Bulldogs have been hit by injuries to key players on the eve of finals.

    The Dogs lost acting captain and star half-back Easton Wood to an ankle injury but the damage isn’t as bad as first thought.

    We review every club’s playing stocks after Round 22.

    WESTERN BULLDOGS

    INJURIES

    Easton Wood (ankle) Test

    Marcus Adams (foot) 2 weeks

    Tom Campbell (foot) TBC

    Kieran Collins (shoulder) season

    Tom Liberatore (ankle) 2 weeks

    Jack Macrae (hamstring) 2 weeks

    Roughead was out with a calf

    22 Ess Kicked a goal, but other than that was mostly unsighted.  
    23   Calf.  
    EF WCE Held his own when in the ruck and bobbed up with a big goal to break Eagles’ back.

    And Stringer came back in after two games in the VFL due to poor form.

    Some might say he does that on a regular basis.

    He ( Wagner ) will improve in that area, but remember when you say always, he has only played a few games of AFL in his 2nd year. 

    The one positive from our bad injury/suspension run, is that we have got games into others, some of whom might make it.

    Trenners gave it to him. Said he didn't need it anymore.

    • 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.
