I think in a perfect world Bowey & Laurie would be putting pressure on for spots ahead of guys like Sparrow & Melksham, but maybe unlikely as they didn't get to play last year.

    I'll give it a go

    Jetta        May        Lever

    Rivers  Tomlinson  Salem

    Brayshaw  Oliver    Langdon

    Pickett     TMac      ANB

    Fritsch     Brown   Spargo

    Gawn    Petracca   Viney

    Hunt  Jordon  Melksham Jackson 

     

    Em: Weid Harmes Sparrow  Hibberd

     

    A lot of tough calls to be made - most likely we will have a few injuries along the way so the depth will be needed.  If Petty comes in for May, it will be interesting if he comes in and we don't miss a beat down back (which I think is possible - I rate Petty).

    TMac deserves to be in the side on form - at the start of the season I would have had Weid there.  Can TMac play the wing as he trained for over summer?  If so, where does Brayshaw go?  Back?   But who of the back 7 go out?  And is Brown, Weid, Jacko, Tmac too tall in a team with Gawn and Fritsch (plus the key defenders)?

    Amazing to think that the likes of Harmes and Hibberd aren't in my best 22 - although if they manage to break into the side through the season I think there's a good chance they'll stay in.

    We seem to be in great shape with options to fill every position - would love to see the draftees get a taste but it's going to be tough to get them in if the team keeps playing how they are.  I guess having them develop at Casey is not the worst thing!

    Largely agree, although l would swap Hibberd for Jetta, and maybe Petty for Jordon, although let’s see how he goes when he replaces May for the next 3-4 weeks. Overall a pretty good inform side.
     

    I’m also predicting Jackson is going to have a breakout game during the next couple of months, similar to the one Max had at Kardinia Park,l think in 2013, when he announced himself to the world when he marked everything, and has been the premier big man in the game since. When that happens, we will become just about unbeatable!

    Good choice.

    Maybe for me only swapping Weid and Melk after the cats game.

    Not like for like but weid is pretty athletic for his size.

    Great to see Gus playing so well again.

    Poor Jetta. Nothing would please me more and Im sure you to see him come back like Tmac.

    Has been one of the clubs best players.

    I think Melksham is a better player than Jordon and Hibberd is a better player than Jetta, but Jordon and Jetta are holding thier spots so good luck to them.

    no, he's not the present nor the future of this football club, tbh i'm not seeing what everyone else is so far this year but maybe i watch him too closely looking for his mistakes but given the fact he's on 700k and GCS current shortage of depth forwards im hoping we can ship off the best part of 500 of that - they get an upgrade on Day/Burgess/corbett to support Bking and we get him off our books with one of majak/mbrown to continue in the depth role going forward with LJ and then bradtke/andrews developing behind the current first choice duo

    • 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.
