Bloody brave selection from Goody and Co picking so many kids in a final with the older boys fit and ready to play. Finals experience will be so important so the young boys. 

Which is why Jones shouldn't get a look in.
Get the kids out there.
They are the bright future.

    The kids will get the chance, over the next ten years to play finals, no need to rush them.

    Give Jonesy a chance to be medical sub and put him on with ten minutes to go when we are well in front.

    It’s all well and good to say that but the sub is there for a reason, if we have a player go down in the first quarter then Jones is playing a full game. Look what happened to Brisbane. 

    I’m not saying Jones wouldn’t be ready to go but it’s a gamble putting a club champ in as the medi-sub if he isn’t picked on form and fitness (he’s barely played a competitive match in the last 2 months). If he puts a strong week of training and get himself in line to be picked then that’s a different story.

    We're not playing kids because they are the "bright future".

    We're two wins away from a flag. We're playing them because they're in our best 22 right now.

    Yeah, they've gone past him.
    And he should have retired 3 forken years ago but thought I'd keep it respectful.

    His average stats for the games he has played this season are around half or lower than his career averages for all indicators.

    I keep thinking of his game against the Swans last year (and by no co-incidence, it was hist last game of the year) where he was off the pace and a liability.

    Maybe he's still up to it, and maybe he isn't, but Jesus Christ, the Grand Final is not the place or time to find out.

    I think even he would struggle to break into this side!

    • 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.
