    No such thing as 'only a scratch match' !   This is the only MFC action this week as we arent playing March series.

    Important first hit out of the season for two of your young stars in Brayshaw and Fristch.

    Pickett on show again.  Another chance for Mitch brown to impress ahead of Round 1.

    Jordon, Rivers, Sparrow., Bradtke....  so much potential there.

    Can Bedford step up and show what hes capable of?

    I'm still surprised that Luke Jackson isn't playing. I get that they want to manage the loads of the younger players and perhaps they have him earmarked for early senior games so they don't want him to burn out. If that isn't the case then I'm baffled that he isn't playing in this game where he can get a taste of the ruck or play as a key forward or even some midfield minutes. I hope it's not this weeks mystery injury of the week.

    It also could mean that they are still unsure of when Gawn will be back, so safe guarding our depleted ruck stocks.

    The fact that we have to add 8 VFL players versus only 1 by North suggests to me we are going into this game under manned.

    My gut feel suggests like last week we will be in for a poor result scores wise.

    That's what I'm also getting with a bit of audio from the game in the background.

    Same, may change soon though.

    On my count we have 4-5 best 22 players and they have 13-14 so it will be a bit of a flogging me thinks

    this is a bit disappointing. At least i can see others have the same issue and its not my PC, or inability to log in using my memebership.

    Working Now!

    Which doesn't matter one bit.  Why would it?

    It's all about fitness and getting some run into the legs.  Nothing more.

    Exactly I hate losing as much as the next guy but this scratch match is about getting run in the legs, game time into kids and hopefully no injuries.

    Goal to Spargo. 

    Was it Bedford with the nice pass?  Obviously this isn't top line stuff so they didn't zoom in when it went into our forward line.  It was good movement though.

    As Burgess has previously stated, it's about getting the miles into the legs for the entire list, ready for round 1.

    • 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.
