    The one positive from yesterday is that Salem finally looks ready to take the next step after many injury interrupted seasons. 

    I would love him and KK on the wings. He is just such a good user of the footy and his attack on the ball has improved out of sight.

    1. Sparrow for his endeavour and taking the heavy knocks.

    Sparrow took a knock to the head early on, had head over the ball, low to the ground, when Powell-Pepper rammed his knee into the side of his the head.  It was obviously deliberate (P-P made no attempt to bend down or go for the ball).  P-P won't get cited as they will argue it was accidental in the course of play.  Sparrow took another heavy knock in the head area late in the game.   Credit to Sparrow that each time he just bounced back.  Like the roughing up that Oliver received, it was disappointing to not see teammates remonstrate for Sparrow's treatment.  Senior guys need to stand up for the kids.

    The first three deserve their votes; the last three I found extremely difficult to find. "Best of a bad lot" is the cliche that comes to mind.

    A really bad day for the Demons, let themselves get roughed up by a young Port team and did nothing about it. May and Preuss can both come in and do something about it!

    Hold the phone there Demonland. How is ANB on the leader board after his stinker of a game when Fritsch and Sparrow polled more votes than him. Yes, I see one solitary poster gave him two votes (an attempt at humour, I hope).

    I didn't give ANB votes, but thought about it. He was one of only a few players that consistently applied pressure. And, in my view, it was the lack of pressure across the ground, particularly by the midfielders and the forwards (with some exceptions, ANB being one) that cost us the game.

    We randomly take 3 posters set of votes and add them together. We have always done it this way. Blame @Chook.

    Absolutely, because you've got nothing better to do than trawl through every single vote each week.

    RECOUNT!

    ..... pretty please

    Usually takes half a season for a football team's admin to turn on none another. Demonland got there in a week. If this is any indication, it's going to be a long season at Demonland HQ.

    I stand by my ANB votes. Who do I have to fight first?

    Me. My argument is that other players were better (as few of them as there were). 

    I acknowledge he's fit - probably fitter than all of them, but I don't think you should get votes for being fit.  Being fit enabled him to apply pressure, unlike most in the team. The rest of his game was ordinary - including his attempted ball gathers which bounced off him, his points and his poor decisions, disposal and fumbles. Spargo applied pressure too.

    Fight over. Roger wins.

    • 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.
