Congrats to Oliver, Hunt, Petracca and Oscar for making the 40 man squad.

I think Trac has been a bit short changed being pitted against a bigger field of midfielders. He's kicked 24 goals this season compared to Curnow's 18, yet Curnow gets to compete against a much weaker field of forwards for selection.

Don't forget to vote :)

Not sure when the player needed to be under 22. Hunt is 22 and 4 months. 

If that's the case does Jesse hogan makes it to this list? 22 and 6 months. 

Brayshaw should also be there. 21 and 7 months. 

We should have 6 players out of 40. 15% where the average should be 2 players per side

Wines is on the list!   22 and 10 months. clearly a well thought through list missing Hogan

[cant believe he is only 22 still]

Clarry, Hunt and Trac will easily make the 22

Hope the presence of Oscar McDonald in the squad shuts a few people up around here. He is tracking beautifully given his age.

He has been fantastic since Queens Birthday, hardly put a foot wrong.

Youre right, Poita.

Another preseason and a few kilos and hes going to be really good.  Lever will compliment him perfectly. 

Oliver well and truly in , and Captains it. Petracca ,yes and Hunt because he's a unique type.

We are well placed for young talent.

Yeah I was a bit confused that Hogan wasn't on the list?? Would be first choice full forward for sure.


Hogan and Brayshaw don't make the list because it's based on 2017 performance.

And for those wondering about the age of the players the article makes quite clear that player must be 22 or under for the whole of the season, including finals. In other words, anyone who doesn't have their 23rd birthday until  Sunday 1 October is eligible for consideration.

22Under23 isn't quite as catchy.

  • 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.
