It's hard to argue against the two outs and I'm really happy to see Bowey given a chance, and Sparrow given a game.

Harmes surely on thin ice. Would want to see a massive game from him (tagging Touk Miller, maybe?).

 

Can someone confirm why the best kicker at the club can’t get a game?

Clealry we’re not interested in giving Jackson or Rivers a clearly needed rest.

Good to see Rivers remains in. Wouldn't make sense taking out one of our more composed players.

If you're referring to Melksham, whilst I wasn't against us trying him it's not like he's been in any sort of form of late, and we know how damaging (in a bad way) his lack of defensive pressure can be.

As to Jackson/Rivers, poor form doesn't always mean needs rest. Again, whilst there were arguments about both their spots, were we going to make four changes in one week? 

Pretty good changes, but it would have been great to bring in Weid for Jacko, if for no other reason than to give Jacko a break and try a few things before finals. Harmes has been pretty poor, don't want him doing anything fancy this weekend - tag Touk. That's all.

Give them an extra couple of days off training? Not sure why rests always need to involve missing a game

 

Assume JJ needs a rest. Because he’s been far better and more consistent this season than some of his teammates. 


Would have rested Dogga for the Weid

Looking forward to seeing Bowey play his first senior game

Best of luck young man

Call it an omission then. Jackson could’ve been dropped rather than rested.

Thrilled for Bowie.  From the bits I’ve seen of the VFL he looks like a beauty!

I don’t understand the faith being shown in Harmes.

Fair enough. Thought Melksham could have come in for him personally, but happy to see him hold his spot.

He's debuting :lol:

Not much fanfare for Boweys debut.. 

Hoping there will be a debut announcement video up soon. They're always heart-warming.

I thought Jacko needed a rest but obviously the club and Burgo are managing him. He needs to lift his second efforts and like the Weid, get some grippo to take those marks.  
 

This is a must win.  Lose this and the double chance is in jeopardy.  

Good to see two young blokes coming in to give us some energy.

Jordon has 2 tackles and 3 kicks on the weekend so his form has dropped off which is fair enough for a first year AFL player

Harmes is very lucky

Umpire Nathan Williamson out for this week, replaced by Mathew Nicholls of 'why did you do that?' fame.

Reckon Milkshake will be the sub.

This 18 year old boy with his big grownup moustache! God these players seem to get younger and younger.

 

Go kid! Rip 'em a new one. (Can you play KPF by the way?)


Don't get this, happy for Bowey and Sparrow, but this really doesn't address our forward line issues

LJ should have been managed this week for Melk or Daw.  He hit the wall a few weeks back

I reckon they've decided this is our best fwd line set up and to give it more weeks to gel together.  Weed coming in didn't work, now BB is struggling but I think it's best to stick with it for now.

Salem’s playing

they don't have much up fwd but their young midfield looks full of run and talent

if May/Petty and Lever can handle King then we should be OK

 

ps. Cunnington is stiff being marked as 'managed' this week. Bloke lost a nut!

  • 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.
