My best 22.

Highlighted are those that I'd like to see start there but with no real conviction.

TMac - Tomlinson vying for CHB

Lockhart - Jetta for back pocket

Baker and ????? for other wing

Melksham and maybe Hunt for the forward flank

If Melksham is playing regular football in 2021 we are in all sorts.

I don't think I've seen someone phone it in like he did in 2020.

I think he will bounce back.

 

 

Lockhart May Lever

Salem Petty Rivers

Langdon Oliver TMac

Fritsch Weideman Harmes

Pickett Brown Jackson

Gawn Petracca Viney

Int - Brayshaw, Sparrow, Bowey, Laurie

Emg -  Chandler, Tomlinson, Hibberd, Spargo

 

i'm going off the assumption that the central back 7 of rd 18, 2020, will be the core around which we build - i personally am not a huge fan of smith, hibberd, and tomlinson in the same line-up, but it would seem that the footy dept. like it and it holds to my theory that we're more trying to emulate geelong's back 7 approach 

it looks like a middle-tier side to me, right where we were in 2018 and 2020 - somewhere between 5th and 11th, before finals

Like some of this - TMac on a wing might suit his running stamina, but he does telegraph his disposals too obviously. Pop Harmes to the FPkt to provide a double-sided prong on leads, with Fritta; then with Jackson, to HFFlk in a utility, mobile role. Petty may be good if fit at CHB; if not, Tomlinson is adaptable.

hore > smith forever and ever

if thats our r1 side by end of season i'd hope Laurie/Petty/Sparrow usurp Melk/Tomlinson/Hunt in the side comfortably and u could even make a case for Spargo/Bowey over baker then too 

obviously we signed 3 forwards at the draft 1 in trade period and 1 TBC in deakyn smith so it makes sense next year we upgrade the backline with riv/salo pushing up, hibbo/nev getting on and jury still out on mature agers hore/smith/lockhart and it would be nice to have a tall developing behind may for 3/4 years time too. especially seeing as our mids are set for another 5/6 years

Bowey is training with the backs which is interesting. I don't mind it but I think our main weaknesses lie forward of centre.

I hope Laurie progresses quickly as I'd love to see one of our mid-sized forwards left out for another small.

yeah, i dunno about that

on a scale or ordinary to average, i guess so but...ideally neither would be best 22 in a good side

Back as well. Going to be very interesting to see how it all plays out.

I’d like to see an intraclub match between those two teams. It may very well lead to a rethink!

I haven't seen anything, Turner. My info comes from the wonderful Demonland podcast and their recent interview with Jason Taylor.

I don't recall him mentioning any intel on those guys but others may be able to chime in.

Could Bowey as half back push Salem forward onto the wing?

Best way to go pre-season. Illuminating - eliminates myths and reputations on an even playing field. 

Had a crack -

Spargo, Lockhart & Baker a bit stiff. They love Sparrow too so I'm sure he probably find his way in but no idea where he fits.

Quite possibly. I can't think of an alternative, unless we have a fairly bold omission from that back line.

Interesting, young team. But hard to imagine that five of our best 22 would be in their first or second 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.
