That is absolutely not the case, he's been brilliant this year. Clearly been working on this part of his game and is best ruckman in the comp hands down this season 

No no AF knows everything. Silly me thought Jones could play forward and it's heresy to suggest Gawn could as well. It's AFs forward line and no correspondence will be entered into.

    Gawn is also a horrible field kick and kick for goal. I'd rather they played him in the ruck and then rest him on the bench or across half back.

    Gawn’s field kicking is the opposite of that, his goal kicking is where he still needs work. The old left hook off the boot.

    Am lukewarm on the selection Jackson at this stage. I agree that he has a lot of promise and will be a part of our long term future. But this is a must win game  for us and an experienced forward in Brown seems to be the smart choice up forward in my humble option. I would have thought that this was the ideal time to pick him when we are lacking in tall forwards and the basis of the reason to recruit him and if he is continually overlooked - then why did we recruit him?  Gee I hate the Hawks and hope that Jackson has an impact.

    I'm a little more than lukewarm, I think he debuted well and this hub format seems to provide a good platform for emerging talent.

    However I would have had Brown as replacement for T Mac, an older heavier body against the Hawks.

    Jackson on the bench as a burst player to relieve Max who must be rested (managed) for what is a more intensive program.

    I have always maintained a greater use of the squad picking players needed to respond to the different styles and structures of the opposition..

     I really think we finally have a squad with the range of players we need to win the flag.

    We just need some confidence and some astute coaching.

    Do you really believe that?? If you do good luck but the reality is we still need a goalkicking KPF and better ball users with more than a touch of Brilliance. Every team has one at least , some have 4 or 5. Harley B is probably the purest in class but he has had so long out you cant rely on him. Max yes but Im talking Superstar quality like Dangerfield, Martin and that Ilk. We haven't had a genuine superstar for a heck of a long time.

    One other thing, I dont rate the coach all that much either. I firmly believe Goody is a nice bloke but is out of his league in coaching Nous. We should be looking Now for 2021 IMV

    Nup a Long way from a premiership I think!

    Happy to discuss, just disagree. Freedom of speech and all, Biffboy.

    Well yes it may have been a bit of overoptimism.

    BUT

    I have suggested Trac could be The Burgoyne, Jarman solid bulldozer brilliance

    Kossie could be the Rioli, Betts type,

    May Lever are a solid defence unit for talks, the structure we had today seemed pretty well balanced.

    While we don't have a Johnathan Brown, T Mac can play the bullocking Centre Half forward and who knows what Brown might do.

    Jackson today showed some glimpses of real talent and could become a Royce Hart, James Hird.

    and Bennell .........well. Long and what's is name from Adelaide ????

    And MAX what he can do is still expanding and his leadership is improving.

    Every premiership team has a number of solid performers and even some underperformers. We have plenty of both. Enough to fill the team and also some handy backup to replace injured etc. Would you rest Max in the lead up by playing Pruess . With Jones as a sentimental favourite you could play into form for the final tilt.

    Is the coach up to it? So far the answer appears no, but I still expect great things from this team

    • 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.
