I really rate Hore - super courageous and from memory he didn't make too many mistakes exiting out of the backline. 

Haven't really heard much about him all pre-season. 

Spots are tight down back but it seems Lockhart/Harmes is favoured to take his spot.

    My thoughts on Jackson and Pickett,  both from WA are they not?   good reason to pick them especially if the stadium is empty.

     

    But I would have thought they both need a few weeks at Casey then when we play an "easy beat" side at the MCG, if there is an easybeat side, they should be eased into the main side.   Its not as if we are short of fit players and have to play certain players.

    Empty stadium   no pressure on the umpires to pick the locals, we might divide the free kicks. That would be good !!

    It is surprising - he has shut down many more highly regarded players quite well - sometimes very well. He often gets in there, spoiling certainties, feeding out quickly and well, and running on in possession for the best options ahead. He also can keep pace with all of his opponents, shoulder to shoulder, step to step. He does not dodge the issues and contacts, at all.

    Hore... and then he gives away a free kick.

    I am not surprised by club's lack of support for Hore. He isn't up to it. If in doubt, watch his games from last year again and see how many mistakes he made.

     Iggest problem he is neither good enough for the tall position (third) or quick enough fir the small position minding either.

    is intercept and Lever is that alone.

    Marty is depth but Rivers IMO should be given an opportunity to commence his career at HBF for us, especially if his Casey form is good.

    Just the same Locky should be in our 22 as his playing style gives us run and carry and disposal.

    By end of season I will be surprised if both these players are locked in our best 22 and our defence is one of the best in the AFL.

    On Hore, unless there is another spate of injuries that forces him to be in he only has the attributes to play Lever’s role so it can only be one of them in the team.

    Is a great reader of the ball in the air and third man up mark, but things fall away after that where he is average to below average at AFL level unfortunately.

    An in between size not big or strong or fast enough to play on key forwards, not agile enough for medium and small forwards, and his disposal and calm under pressure is up and down. I think he needs to work to be an effective lock down defender to be able to coexist with Lever.

    A much better summary of my post on Hore recently 

    Thoroughly agree and believe Lockhart and Rivers will be In our defence of the next decade By the end of the season.

    • 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.
