Interesting to see Curnow there. Considering we picked Weiderman before him in the draft. Are we seeing another Lucas Cook/Jack Darling debarcle?

    Throw in Jack Martin too, he wasn't better than Trac this season.

    I wouldn't have Petracca in that side.

    Actually, that bench looks pretty ropey. Might squeeze him in.

  • Quote

    No Petracca in the side is a ridiculous. I cant find the recent link but champion data had him in their best side of 2017 on a half forward flank based on statistical output. Being it was voted on by fans really removes any merit on the side.

    Dusty with almost double Dangers votes for MVP, the man has had an insane season.

  • Quote

    It's the way voting was conducted, Petracca could only be voted in a midfield spot. Voters were limited to certain groups of players for each spot. I.e. a defender list, midfield list, forward list etc. 1 spot on the bench each for a forward & defender listed player. As a result there were several midfielders limited by where they could be selected in a deeper pool of talent who should've made it in the forward line ahead of Rioli, Martin, Papley at a minimum, maybe ahead of some of the defender named too.

     

    Petracca was definitely one of those.

    The Rioli name seems to mean so much around footy circles but I am buggered as to how the richmond one got named. 

  • Quote

    Petracca didn't make the team as he was classified as a midfielder, despite playing 90% of the year at half forward.

    As a forward he walks it it; as a mid, not so much...

    I just explained how above. The forward spots were limited by a weak pool you had to choose from. It was a pathetic list and you couldn't choose a midfield listed player like Petracca instead.

    Was listed as a midfielder. Ridiculous decision on the part of those responsible. Would've [censored] it in as a forward.

    Comedy re: Hunt also:  So not being able to hit a target or nail a running open goal isn't a pre-requisite for selection?  Interesting.

  • Quote

    Petracca was named in last year's side as a HFF, which anyone who watched the Dees for 5 seconds this year would have known is where he plays.

    Obviously didn't watch him play much in the last month or so when he regularly lowered his eyes and hit up leads inside 50.

    Check the replays of the Saints and Pies games in particular.

    3 goals 1 and 7 goals 5 in his first two seasons isn't a bad return for someone who runs at blistering pace.

    Hunt often bombs long to the hot spot in front of the goal square at an angle from the wing. It doesn't help his kicking efficiency stats but is does bring the ball quickly into the forward line and help our scoring.

    Hunt kicked what should be goal of the year from the wing after the siren with a perfectly crafted torpedo. Poor kicks simply can't do that.

    Poor disposal from Hunt is the biggest myth on demonland.

    whether it is poor or not, it is certainly an area he needs to work on

    clarification:  kicking after a log run that is

    • 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.
