MATCH PREVIEW AND TEAM SELECTION - Round 16

Featured Replies

 

Awesome INs this week.

They all have pace to burn...

I still think there is a spot for Bernie though!

Goodwin must have read demonland and finally came to his senses of playing Garlett and Spargo in the same team with our inside 50s. 

 

Better Ins this week. Let's see how the balance looks with more pace and smalls in the team to provide pressure.


Best selections for a while.   Exactly what we have been calling for on here.

Two small crumbers, some speed, and an outside mid who can spread.

Will be pleasantly surprised if Jeffy gets a run.  So many logical reasons to do this...but they...its footy

Be VERY intrigued if they DO play both Spargo AND Jeffy..have been want ting to see this just about all year..Just have a gut feeling theyd work well of of each other and wouldnt trip over each other either. Frost seems a beyond  "about time"inclusion

I await official team sheet with more interest than I thought Id have this week...tttt

Jeffy when on song is a terrific small forward. He has surely done his penance and is at his best on the big AFL stage not at some VFL sideshow.

God I hope Frost isn't playing forward. 

Doubt it... he'll be doing Petty's job ...or rather..playing down back ?


Hard to argue with the outs, like for like position-wise, except we've exchanged a tall + small forward for two smalls.

Tyson done? Would be a shame, he has some abilities.

Paul Roos questioned the selection of the team of late... 

He hinted the selection committee didn’t know what they were doing. I agreed!

I see a common theme in the inclusions...

Might they play Jeffy deep...and Spargo high ?

Height not so important in conditions..speed and endurance is.

I don't mind this team...as such


From a personal perspective pretty disappointed Dec didn’t get in this week, at least he is an emergency though. I understand why the chose who they did, hopefully it’s s good game. 

Yes! Jeffy AND Spargo in the same team. 

Great job Goody. 

Stretch makes more sense than Tyson. 

Unfortunately for Dom he is our 5th or 6th best inside mid and cannot play on the out side to save himself. 

Frost in was a must. 

Good selections overall.  I think we needed to go a little smaller, especially in Darwin with the slippery conditions, but I think it makes us a more balanced side.

Interestingly, Frost has been named at FF.  Will he actually play there is another thing, but they might be using him as the pinch hitter in the ruck this week.

At first I was like, dark helmet?

Then it hit me: LUDICROUS SPEED!

His time will come.

Aren't we forgetting that Garlett has been very underwhelming in the magoos? What happened to rewarding form at VFL level?

Inconsistent selection choices yet again imo

 

Somebody give Frosty Tony Campbell's super sticky footy mitts! He may be frosty but he is no lover of the pre-frost precursor dew.

Agree BUT....He had 7 tackles, maybe that is what they were looking for, forward pressure not necessarily disposals?

  • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

    Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

  • 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.
