GAME DAY: Melbourne vs Richmond - JLT #1

Petty’s probably a year off in terms of getting his weight where he wants it to be but he’s definitely playing above it today.

I wonder do we take the risk & put him in the 22 round 1 ? I’m wondering if we put him in Lever’s spot until Lever gets back ? Gives him half a year of what it’s like playing regular first grade football so hopefully he can turn into our second key backman next year.

 
 

I know it's only JLT but I would drag Frost I'd I was Goody.


Who the hell is this Balta person.

Our disposal is woeful. 

Again, much of it coming from the depth players.  It's not even a blip on the radar.  Change out many of those for the 8-9 we have missing today and we're away.

    I want Salem to be a midfielder - but he just isn't. He is far more effective down back.

    Salem is our sweeper in the backline

    Is Goody the right guy tho?

    the depth players are showing very little... disappointing

    That's why they're depth, Jim.  They are being relied upon in this game to do more than usual and it shows.  That's what JLT is for.  Guys like JKH, Stretch and others are spending far more time in the midfield without Viney and Jones in there, while our backline has struggled without May, Hibberd, Lewis and Jetta (plus Lever, but as we know he's out for a while).

    I'm impressed with the side we have in that we're level at half time and we've played some excellent passages of footy.

    Not a good sign re: our depth then. 

    Yes, but very different when you have one or two depth players amongst a settled line up. Back line especially is pretty well all second-choice.

    I disagree.  It's why we class them as depth.

    Plus it's March.  Every first up game has these sort of turnovers.

    Brayshaw probably to the main offender, which is annoying because he is a ball magnet.

    • 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.
