One of the more articulate and honest voices within the playing group. No mention of the dreaded toe injury can only be a good sign.

    I hope Tmac goes into coaching or a career in media. I could honestly listen to him all day.

    I'm not sure if he enjoys the limelight enough to be on tv Dazzle but certainly radio or the print media could beckon. Not in Bob Murphy's league yet mind you.

    Like many we can’t excuse his sub par season (when he was available) with injuries however we can recognise the impact it would’ve had. With him being able to set up a full pre-season it gives him every opportunity to get back to the form that made him our linchpin. 

    Also goes to show we shouldn’t panic about seeing players in the rehab group at this early stage, particularly if they’re senior players that weren’t even required to rock up. This is them getting ahead of their rehab to give them the best chance for 2020.

    i don"t care how his knee is going that he injured towards the end of the year. What about his toe? He was hopeless from the beginning of the year with a toe problem.

    TMac was not running enough in games early in the year, until the freemantle game where he kicked 3 goals and had over 20 touch's, then the next week he had 1 goal but over 20 touch's,  then the Carlton game he ripped them apart, then of course his knee blow in the third quarter. So hopefully he remembers how he returned to form by running.

    The Freo game had Tim Smith do a very efficient tagging job on Luke Ryan whilst also kicking and Weid had an important 6 touch, 1 goal game. ANB did what he does. Hannan did nothing but I guess stayed as a deeper forward with some forward nous. Lockhart was very good at half forward and Petracca did well too. Tom finally started leading because the other forwards gave some support and cover. Plus no doubt Rawlings came in for that game and got everyone back to basics and to stop stuffing around.

    We really only won because they had in game injuries but our system looked so much better. 

    I think the hope for this year is that Tom can play the lead up CHF role that he excels in because we have goal kicking options in behind and we aren't so worried about getting flawless play through traffic then out the back. 

    Hogan was largely inefficient inside 50 particularly against good sides, but at least he gave Tom the confidence to lead up at the ball knowing he'd be the deeper option. A tall coming on to help out would be nice but Fritsch looms as the guy who at least has some presence inside 50 and can demand space. Similarly the hope will be Melksham can provide both ball use and experience around half forward that helps buy forwards space.

    1 on 1 with confidence a good run and jump Tom Mc surely is as hard to stop as anyone.

    • 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.
