Time to have a talk about Jayden

He's an intriguing player. A real enigma for mine. Would love to see him succeed off half back, but I can't see it. I hope I'm wrong, but despite a funny looking set-shot kicking style, it's very effective. It seems to me, a different way to how he kicks the ball around the ground.

    Does he get another contract off the back of today's game??

    Best I've ever seen him balance up to kick on the run today. Nailed 2 difficult chances.

    They like to play him deeper as a forward. I don't think they trust his tank nor his smarts to get to the right spots - both in attack and defensively because otherwise he has such a trick bag as a high half forward with his ability to mark on the lead and to split a game open with pace.

    Seemed to play a bit more on the wing today but still only had 7 touches.

    Hmmm, hard to know what to make of it all really.

    4 goals great return must keep adds another dimension to forward line.

    Absolutely. How many other players have kicked four goals this year?

    His dash and mobility is something to be in awe of. He is a turnover merchant off half back so keep him inside forward 50.

    Looks like he’s returning to 2017 form.

    He’s a keeper for sure and based on today’s output anyone who’d entertain a trade has rocks in their head.

    But kicked four goals and we won by what 19 points.  Don't think he needs to rack up huge numbers of disposals if he keeps hitting the scoreboard like that.

    Wouldn't mind betting that Jayden kicking goals and demanding defensive attention helped Fristch get off the chain in the last quarter as well.

    Maybe we should just delist him for groping Petracca.

    I don't care at all that his hands were in inappropriate places. I care that he's been a complete moron at 3/4 time in a must win game.

    We thought we had the game won and played like it.

    But he won't keep kicking 4 a week because he just doesn't do that. Even 1.5 goals a week seems unlikely. Well done by him for doing it today but it's a luck of the draw thing. 

    I'm defensive of Pickett who gets low disposal totals but whenever he's around the ball he's doing the right things to pressure or create. I don't think that's the case for Hunt and if he's up on the wing he absolutely has to find the ball. If you're wingers aren't finding the ball then you it's unlikely you're moving the ball or spreading well - we saw that, it's called Melbourne 2018.

    Langdon, Baker, Vanders played the bulk of the wing minutes, not sure how much Hunt did, but more time in that role without finding a lot of the ball is a worry.

    Very poor. It’ll now be the media controversy of the week too. I’m disappointed

    Maybe it was a good thing not listening? Goodwin had us playing safe football and playing the opposite of what got us on top in the second qtr. It was Hunt’s attacking run on goal in the last qtr which we needed more of.

    Plenty on here have been pushing him out.

    His role is less ‘physical’ than what it was in 2017. Back then it was the bash and crash attack no matter who you were. I’m seeing less full blown defensive efforts where he puts his body on the line but more of the run, speed, link up and overlap play we know he’s built for,

    And as far as the experts online goes, we all have an opinion and sometimes it doesn’t turn out right.

    Hunt is an athlete and not a footballer.   No defensive aspect to his game and doesn't relish a physical contest.   

     

    He should've been cut last year.

    You couldn't be more wrong if you tried. 

    A Natural Forward with speed to burn,  can take a grab and a great leg to boot.

    • 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.
