It's probably too early to get this thread going but whatever.

In an ideal world, we'd get back Salem and maybe Hannan too. 

I'd be looking for replacements for Petty, Spargo, C Wagner and T Smith.

So maybe that's Salem, Hannan, Weideman and ANB?

    Was there and stayed till the end. The season is a shambles and is over. I think a couple of high profile players need to be dropped as a statement if nothing else. Gus and TMac come to mind. Work out which of the young ones have the right attitude and stick with them. Thankyou.

    Probably too soon for Hannan, though given what we've currently got on the park ...

    Ins from :  Hibberd,  Salem,  Neal-Bullen,  Weideman, Lewis.

     

    Too soon IMO :

    Lever,

    Hannan

    May

    Kolodjashnij

    Kennedy-Harris

     

    I think these guys need more game time in their bodies,  before selection in our AFL jumper.

    Out - Spargo, C. Wagner, Smith, OMac, J. Wagner

    In - Salem, ANB, Weideman, Lever, Hibberd

    I don’t know if those ins are possible, but that is 5 clear upgrades and makes us at least competitive.

    Ins: Lewis, Salem, Hibberd, JKH, Weids, ANB

    Outs:  J Wagner, C Wagner, Fritsch, Spargo, Stretch, TMac (even if just a rest, he's spent)

    Tim Smith should stay in, only one remotely looking like key forward today

    A few others looked sore... Petty was limping a bit

    For goodness sake anyone but Lewis, the game has passed him by. Ideally he’d retire from AFL now (give us another pick in the mid season draft) and play out the VFL season as an on field coach.

    ... time to re-start this teams evolution.

    Theory is,  not to go in too tall,  up in Darwin.

    For my mind it’s simple now, season is done, so make sure we are best prepared for next year:

    - Don't play anyone unless 100% fit, healthy and with appropriate game time at VFL level under the belt

    - Play everyone who needs to build experience and game time at senior level with a focus on learning and development. Play a really simple game plan that encourages them to use their natural instincts

    - Make sure anyone who will need surgery prior to preseason has it done ASAP so that they can actually do a pre-season

    - Start the search for new line coaches, fitness coach, kicking coach ASAP and get them on board immediately to maximize time to gel with the group prior to next year

    - Cop the AFL fine for not tanking with good grace and move on

    Surely none of Lever (supposedly injured at Casey today), Hibberd or Hannan are ready yet. 

    Fritsch goes as well if we want to play Preuss.

    Weideman was very good at Casey, Lewis was our best... Surely they get picked after the complete Sh!tshow that was presented today

    Are you keeping Spargo SPC


    Smother the balls with vaseline at training all week. This is the humid of the NT games right?

    JKH is a shoe in for next week barring injuries. Thought l would let you know early.

    Oh! the rest of the above look good as well.

    You could make the case for some big changes if the injuries come up:

    Weiderman, Salem, ANB, Lewis, May, Hibbard, Hannan. Goody also mentioned KK and JKH. 

    The only time you make 4+ changes are when you have a heap of players who are best 22 coming back. We could make the case that 7 changes are just getting our healthy bodies back and Wagers, Lockhart, Petty etc are just heading back to the 2s.

    (Jake) Lever, (Mitch) Hannan, (Michael) Hibberd, (Christian) Salem, (Alex) Neal-Bullen, (Steven) May, (Kade) Kolodjashnij, (Sam) Weideman and (Jay) Kennedy Harris 

    All to come back. 

    Hibberd, Salem, ANB, Kade and Weeds were all in the side when we were arguably playing our worst footy for the hear.

    Hannah helps, Lever is obviously a huge inclusion, JKH is okay I guess.

    We have huge depth issues.

    • 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.
