No they won't they will bring in Preuss that's the reason he is on the list. If Viney is injured\rested play the young kid Jordon. Brayshaw will definitely get more midfield time. I think they will stick with Harmes down back. 

Yes I agree that Preuss should come in. He’s the backup Ruck.  I just think goody will use tommy mcd. It’s because goody never seems to go the logical route sometimes.

    Cannot agree on Hannah he is our Kent replacement. Way to inconsistent. 
    Both are good VFL players but just not good enough at senior level. 

    I agree OD.  ANB, Fritta, Hannan & Melk all in a similar boat i reckon.  Fritta tends to do better playing off a wing at times.

    We lack a dangerous HF both in the air and ground level which is why i'd be getting Harmes to play more time forward and pushing Viney up there more often as well.  As we saw last week that paid off a little with a couple of goals.

    The issue though, who else do you bring in?

    I can't imagine that Preuss is match fit.

    If he is uninjured and has been for a few weeks, then he could be as fit as any player not currently in the side.

    He fits the bill RN but every second week you get very little. The trick would  be to know when it is going be the other week and only play him then.


    I am amazed some of the names being thrown up to replace when Goody is on record as saying we only took 29 players to Adelaide for the week. That makes the only potential ins as emergencies from last game which I am pretty sure were The Macs, Rivers and Spargo, Kozzie is also definitely there, so that means only two others, one of which I suggest is Hannan. If Gawn is not playing then I doubt but hope we took Preuss  and if not I suggest TMac will play and LJ will ruck. If Viney as rumoured is also not playing I suggest Rivers will play back and Harmes into the rotation but with Angus getting more midfield time.  Would love to know who the other option we took was though.

    Is it possible that we might fly other players to SA on the same flight as North (to abide the AFL covid protocols)...just a thought...

    OD that probably applies to about one half of our team.  Imagine the ins & outs every week :blink:

    Our FD ain't the brightest going around binman.

    As long as he plays mostly ruck Mr Leg.

    Actually a week's rest for Big Maxy in prep for the following week against his arch enemy Grundy, may not be the worst thing that could happen.  A little protection also against the big body of Goldstein crashing in this week couldn't hurt.

    Might also give the opp a bit of a headache as they won't have alot of data / intel as to where Pruess tends to place the ball with our mids with his tap work.

    Viney and Gawn out. Two massive outs.

    Is Pruess in the hub?  Surely Harmes has to go into the middle and push forward as per his past role now.  Rivers comes in to replace Harmes' role.

    Guessing Brayshaw goes into the centre for the whole game which just might be a good thing.

    I agree.  If he was sore, then had to be rested versus the bottom placed Crows who had a lower ranked ruckman in O’Brien.  It’s a hmmmm moment.

    Having watched Tmac's manoeuvrability last time he played Preuss would have to be catastrophically unfit for that to rule him out.

    I don’t think Pruess is in Adelaide.

    • 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.
