Doubt they feel much like a tea and biscuit before bed time.

Thanks guys other than the little one we’ve been ok, he’s picked up today in time for the game in true demon spirit! Little ones recover so much faster than adults.

    In a backwards way, Covid has been a blessing for the selection panel early in the year as we tick off the wins, and maybe for the long-term shape of our team. Hoping Weid backs up and can return to his mid-2020 form, along with Tomlinson getting closer to his best alongside Lever and May. Then Petty is our only real selection conundrum until Salem is ready to come back. 

    Post-note: I hadn't realised it, but the game last week was statistically Weideman's best ever as a forward - his biggest goal haul, equal-most number of marks, and easily the most scoring shots on goal. Posters lament J. Smith's ill-fortune, but Sam could probably be placed in that category too. Just as he was finding consistency, we took that trip to Cairns, and then he copped a pre-season leg injury.

    I watched Kossie pretty closely last week. He had little to know impact. Seemed lethargic. It's been a pretty slow start to this season and end of last season. I appreciate that he does a lot of pressure work off the ball but he's a fair way off his best. Wonder if they will consider dropping him if this continues. Give Bedford a go.

    Hopefully Brown isn’t playing because they thought it was risky to fly him out tomorrow after a week at home, and not because he now has Covid. 
    And hopefully Smith is just a close contact and not actually suffering from Covid. 

    On 360 they mentioned a trend of players getting injured after the H&S protocols, through not enough training/preparation. Good to be careful just hope BBB doesn't lose form.

    We won't know unless it happens.

    Completely depends upon exactly what is being asked of him, and if he is doing that (which I suspect he is).

    IMHO Petty (when fit) is clearly in the best 22. He's ahead of Tomlinson. 

    Poor Tommo ... recruited as a winger, but that experiment didn't work. Good as a defender, but got injured and Petty overtook him. I suspect he will continue to get selected because of injuries to others. I wish him all the best ... great guy, great clubman and a solid player.

    I wonder if Port have a defender that can go with him

    Very true. Our 3yo has COVID after it spread through our family. He’s been hardest hit assumably because he hasn’t been vaccinated as yet. Nothing on earth could stop me cuddling him while he vomits everywhere, has a temp of a million degrees and is in distress. Pretty hard to not get whatever they have in that situation.

    Said child is now farting on his sisters, so everything is back to normal in our household đŸ˜‚

    • 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.
