Terrific game:  20 poss @ 7% eff, 9 marks, 8 rebound 50's and plenty of pressure with 3 tackles and 6 1%. 

Plays a similar rebound role to Hibberd and while it is early days he seems the one most likely to understudy and eventually, to replace Hibberd. 

In the meantime, he is a very handy back up for when Hibberd or Jetta are unavailable.

    Hore can absolutely be the new Hibberd when that time eventuates.

    Looks ready made. Looked a little lost previous games but showed a lot last night. Doesn’t blink and back his judgement to good effect.

    My thoughts exactly. Whilst not as hard hitting as hibbo, does have the run and carry and is better aerially. I’d be happy for hibbo to rest for a week or two to get his fitness back and allow hore to establish himself further in the role.

    looks a natural footballer to me and I see a lot of potential in him. thought against Port he had good awareness despite being a bit off the higher pace.

     

    looks a good footballer and was easily our most assured backman last night.

    Given Werridee's comment on Hore last week in his VFL game summary that "HORE - Worst player in the league" - and he was referring to  the VFL league - I felt i must be watching a different player last night, but he really stood up and played an impressive game.  

    To be kind, perhaps Werridee got his players mixed up last weekend.

    More likely explanation is that it was just a rubbish post.

    Hore was pretty ordinary against Box Hill. So i am very impressed he turned it around against Sydney. I thought when he was named to replace Jetta last night i was bloody worried.. but i knew at the same time we had no one else. 

    Must back up that performance for next week.

    Dont take notice of Werridee, the bloke is clueless. He thought after that game that Petty was a complete dud and wont make it at AFL level.

    So glad he played a good game. Was worried by his form at the start of the football year, but perhaps that was because the whole team was 'off'. Spoke to him at the family day. Very nice young man. Hope he keeps improving and enjoys a good career at Melbourne.

    • 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.
