We wont win, I'm still deluded enough to go every week and convince myself by the opening bounce we will though.

    "Play the kids" like we've had 3 first rounds the past 3 years too pluck from the list ?

    That probably fits nicely with our Hail Mary forward game plan binman.

    This game last year was a Masterclass by Clarkson. 

    Our coaching panel experimented with lots of new ideas (no wingmen, high zone press, Jones as tagger, roaming forwards/mids etc) and we were taken to the cleaners.

    We need coaches to be switched on like they were in the 2nd semi last year!

    Same

    Still kicking myself for staying at home for the 2008 game vs Fremantle. Haven't missed a match since.

     

     

    Edit...  OMac & JWag in for Viney & Weid

    O mac and Wagner..  exciting stuff.

    Don’t care that Omac was written up as one of the best at Casey last week

    I watched most of the game and thought he was very ordinary,they must have counted his kick outs in the stats 

    If I was Kielty I would be spewing, he has twice the talent of Omac

    Can understand maybe needing one defender, but two? Oh well, maybe they want Mcdonald and Jetta's replacement (was it lockhart last week) in the forward line instead. My wife has tipped us (Richmond supporter). Good luck team.

    That's right, because an untested player who's never played a single game at AFL level and is playing OK/consistent footy at VFL level is our saviour.

    And because we have inside mids and KPF's just queuing up to get a game.

    I can only hope that such strange selections are a precursor to an amended gameplan.

    Perhaps we can play nearest the pin with the losing margin.

    Gunston to reprise his 2:8 of the finals or 8:2?

  • Quote

    Hawthorn is going to kill us. They don't have anybody in their forward line slow enough for Oscar to play on. Sparrow should have been brought in to replace Viney. It will be like playing two men down.

    Smart selections: O Mac allows Tom (our best KPF) to go forward, as does J Wagner for Fritsch.

    I stand corrected, @Nasher. I just don't understand Goodwin's selections anymore.

    Why bring in Oscar? So he's going to play on Roughead then and Frost is going to play on a small?

    Surely, O'Brien is playing back? But maybe not, given the omission of Weideman?

    • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

    • 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.
