Solid win vs Freo.  Another must win next Saturday, and we are back on the MCG vs the Doggies.

The conditioning staff will have their most important week of the season, as recovery is paramount after playing in tropical conditions.

    makes sense except one plays back the other forward.

    Could the versatile Pederson get a game down back? ... Frankly I' think Bernie will return

    I didn’t see Bernie play in the 2’s today, did he play?

    I didnt see him either. Hannan did well given the conditions.

    If Smith was surplus to our defensive needs this week then no point playing him next week, so I expect him to be dropped. Not sure who gets his spot, but I think a running player over a tall.

    18 players hit the scoreboard tonight. These four didn’t.

    Out: OMac, Jetta, J Smith. Frost

    I'm a Nibbler fan, but he has to go for mine.  In Bernie.

    Would love to drop Lewis and ANB but don’t see an obvious replacement.

    Melksham has to be looked at. Last 4 weeks dreadful.

    I thought Smith, Spargo and ANB were our least effective tonight. Lewis also did some

    Smith played most of the game forward so not sure there is a role for him. 

    Not sure there is anyone really demanding a promotion though.

    Since Queens Birthday our glaring weaknesses have been leg speed and defensive pressure.

    Frost ,Garlett and Smith are pretty quick.

    I thought Smith had a fair first half.

    VDB got 16 tackles in the reserves.

    Spargo goes alright but he has limitations.

    Lewis had another mistake riddled game.

    If Vince and Lewis aren't getting pushed out we are not moving forward.

    I assumed Smith in the forward line was in response to the way Fremantle occupied our forward line, rather than our idea per se. It wasn’t going to be OMac, Frost, Hibberd or Jetta, so he’s th logical next choice. I can’t think of any other reason for it because he definitely did not look a natural forward.

    ANB lucky to keep his spot, hes in his 2nd bad patch of form for the season after his slow start.

    • 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.
