TEAM SELECTION: Practice Match vs Bulldogs

Oliver out with general soreness (sounds like just resting)

Salem out with hamstring tightness, which is no good. He’s had issues with hamstrings before. Hopefully nothing a rest can’t fix.

    All four of Bowey. Petty, Laurie and Bedford were very exciting last week in the 2nds... deserved their call up.

    Oliver, Salem, Brayshaw, Viney, Hibberd, Melksham, B Brown and Weid all out.

    Meanwhile the Dogs have a near full strength side. 
     

    Hard to see us winning this one, but hopefully a few lesser lights can step up tomorrow and show that we have good depth.

    So do we go with Vanders and Lockhart from the get go as that team line up may suggest or do we throw Laurie and Bowey in to the fire and see if they are ready for round 1?

    Petty and Tomlinson get a half each? Or May/Lever plays a half and then has a rest so the other 2 can compete for more time?

    There's plenty of guys playing for their spots.

    WBs  a strong line up. Johannesan in the 2s,  Hope at least one of our recruits get a run.

    How many on the bench?

    Best to see how Jones, Neal-Bullen and Vandenburg measure up earlier rather than later. We're resting players and trying players. Sensible course of action and giving a couple of key players a rest is fine with me. The result of this match is immaterial in the long-term.

    Oliver out will give good game time to Sparrow Jordan. I want to see what they have. If they have decent games should play rd 1. Bowey Laurie aswell although prob not rd 1 with players to return

    I think it works in our favour the doggies playing a full-strength side. Give our players challenging for a round one spot a proper test.

    I'll assume that Aemond is an anagram... Daemon? Good get for originality if so. Just as well I know Latin to get it. Agree with your assessment in that we need to find out sooner rather than later.

    Massive game for Jordon. What he do in the middle against a top midfield. 

    bowey and Laurie could make round 1 debuts with strong performances. 

    Can’t wait to see the boys play!

    Oliver just posted a photo of himself at Gosch’s Paddock from this morning. He was clearly training with the leftover group of players. I accept that he is being managed.

    The same forward line that just kicked 14 goals against Richmond?

    • 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.
