Ps this is a professional athlete, I keep banging on about it but NHL guys spend most off season preparing for next season (they do have shorter training camps), because they realise their skills/fitness/body are the tools they need to improve on every off season. Well done LJ.

    He looks so much stronger.   I am no expert in muscles and fitness but he looks very sexy.

    Keep at it LJ,  you can be the best player in the league if you want it.

    I’m impressed by the level of his commitment. I wonder how many other second year players have undergone a 7 week program like this.

    That’s also a very impressive mullet. A real throwback. Between LJ and BB we’ve got the rest of the league well and truly covered in terms of suave hairstyles!

    We should have sent Weid there when he arrived at the club.

    I love it.  This kid could be a 'game changer', and we already have a couple of those!

    Some players 'get it' earlier than others like Oliver, Viney and apply themselves from the beginning. Not just at training and the extra sessions many do but well above that. Petracca perhaps took longer than he may have but is there now. Gawn by his own admission took longer for it to click.Its when you know you have an emerging A grader. some don't ever get it like sylvia

    Oliver actually struggled with the demands of AFL professionalism in his first 12 months. His diet and off field work was quite poor.

    That until Brendan McCartney and Billy Stretch took him aside to help him adjust.

    LJ will be a weapon in the future.  Just needs to remember two things - 

    1- get a decent haircut and 

    2- to stay at the Dees and never go back to a WA team

    1. NO, NO, NO, LJ's current hairstyle is heroically ugly - potentially cult!

    2. Yes!

    Whinging about players' hairstyles makes you sound like an old fuddy-duddy.  It couldn't be less relevant.

    • 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.
