Interesting no Salem?

They’ve basically never really said he’s injured or with what. They sort of referenced it in passing in a press conference. I suspect he’s struggling a bit with groin issues that they’re managing. Don’t think they want to advertise it tho which is fair enough. 
I think Tom is a good chance to play. If his back was really bad they wouldn’t have put him through that flight or made him leave his family for 7 days to stare at a hotel wall.

    There was also a rumour on Demonland that he was injured but seems as though it was just a rumour.

    don't tempt fate...there's 16 minutes to play after a solid 30 mins cooling down...reeks of a disaster waiting to happen...

    Such bad luck for Hunt. He was one of 12 (I think) players to have played every game to this point, wasn't he?

    We can cover him I think (Hibberd), but hopefully our season progresses long enough for him to be able to push to get back into the 22.

    Bad luck for Hunt. Sent back to his natural position on halfback this year and he’s flourished again and played every game. He’s not the cleanest player, but he’s one of our most impactful when on. Shame he might miss playing finals after being a consistent part of the team that got there.

    Super disappointing and his pace will be really hard to replace. I hope he can make it back for prelims if we make it that far. 

    I would say Hibbo is the natural replacement there and Bowey can play a more attacking role with Hibbo defending. You lose pace with Bowey but you gain better ball use. 

    Let’s hope Salem’s groins hold up n

    Very unlucky for hunt, no wonder he looked so glum in the rooms after the game

    Shattered for Hunt, one of my favs and will be missed.  I know his speed is what stands out but he is so good defensively.

    We loose a lot of run out the back half, hope it's only 3-4 and with the bye he's still a chance

    That is really rotten luck for Hunt, he’s really looked a lot more settled this year and has used his outside run well (particularly when he partners with his twin). This is without a doubt a loss. Hopefully he can get himself back in for some finals later on.

    Um is Hore going to play this year? 

    Yes but not in the seniors unless absolute disaster strikes with injuries.

    Surely not worth the risk. Give him until next season.

    Wouldn't have thought we'd lose too much pace with Bowey. Kid is quick.

    Yes but Jayden is a seasoned campaigner and line breaker and can take a lot of physical pressure, we couldn’t expect Bowey to withstand that tempo in his first few games. Very sorry for Hunty one of my favs. Maybe deClasse to wing and JJ half back??

    Doubt we will debut any more players this close to the finals but could be wrong. I would expect Hibberd to come in with his pace and experience. Hope he has freshened up a bit because he looked way off the boil in his recent games. 

    Perhaps Hibberd can play a lockdown role on opposition defenders like his game against dusty earlier in the year. Should free up Bowey for some more  attacking plays and remove intensive defensive responsibilities.

    Unlucky for Hunt but I still am not sure how he would go under under finals pressure. Would prefer players that are more reliable than those that might get caught HTB on a long run. Harsh I know, he had been good this year. But we can cover him with Bowey and Hibbo

    judging by alan richardson's video i would guess plugger mac is less rather than more likely

    If so the question will be will do we look at Weideman one last time? Felt we were a tall short against West Coast.

    Hibberd is finished too slow and fumbly we need to include pace into lineup this week maybe Bedford??

    • 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.
