Not how it works mate. Clubs work a fair way out with their key targets, they don't just randomly pop up in trade week and go 'oh hey we wanna trade for Petracca...'

Wonder if bottoming out was in their their player acquisition strategy. It must have been ! They know what they’re doing !

    Outstanding game of footy by Petracca yesterday and clearly one of the best of his career. Looked "on" from the first minute.

    Listening to him in the Ch 7 post game interview, and I know words aren't everything, but that appeared to be a player that is heavily invested in his footy club and won't be going anywhere else anytime soon.

    the whole group look happy and engaged - amazing the therapeutic value of a few wins. Long may it continue.

    Great call Chook, i went to the footy, noticed how engaged they are with each other, but it was my wife and 14 year old daughter who said out of the blue when i got home and we dissected the game that the "Demon players actually look like mates and that they like each other.."

     

    It shows and that's a really good sign.

    The more we win, the happier the players are, the tighter the group becomes, the less chance they'll want to leave. 

    Pretty simple really. 

    Trac is keen for his pay day, but the only reason he and any of our other stars will want to leave is because they see team success elsewhere. 

    This year was and is so important for that reason alone. Couldn't ask for a better start. 

    Next 4 week block is super important without May and with the hopeful inclusions of BB and Weed. 

    Two wins and two losses is my prediction and that's okay. 

    Let's keep rolling.

    • 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.
