Did enough, unimpressively

Conceding one goal in three and a half quarters too many for you?

 

( Too many people) Rose coloured glasses

Just a win

great defensive effort 

Port were horrible 

Dees were average 

Hinkley under pressure 

Goodwin in control 

Get BBB back 

Lots of contributors

Let loose Joeboy

 

 


Sorry but I gotta put in my 3 word comment for Sam Weideman.

Disappointing effort tonight.

 

After last week kicking 4 goals against Essendon I held high hopes he would contribute. I barely noticed him tonight.

May - Rock solid defence

Harmes - Hard running + goals

Petracca - 48% disposal efficiency?

Jackson - Marks both ends

Viney - Effective at clearances

Lever - Quiet first game 

Spargo - Played his role

Brayshaw - Solid and effective

Gawn - Back in town

Oliver - Not his best

Langdon - One of our best

Bowey - Much quieter tonight

Tomlinson - Very, very quiet

Jordon - Career best game?

Rivers - Doesn't look 100%

TMac - Hardly sighted

Weide - Well blanketed

Hunt - Bright start, faded

ANB - Played his role

Fritta - Leading goalkicker + chasing

Sparrow - Some good clearances

Kozzie - Only little glimpses


Great, so we sucked the life out of Port like dementors, and half the team were quiet and not at their best?

The only way is up! ☺️

Weideman .. predicable follow up

Time after time

Softer than Watts

Excellent as depth

Weideman: Brown to replace

Jordan: great wingman’s game

Sparrow: love how tough

Sparrow: work on kicking

May - dominated their forwards 

Bowey - the best disposal

Lever - wasn’t really needed

Brayshaw - positions himself perfectly 

Max - answered all critics 

Hinkley - R.I.P


Here's my 2 cents

 

May - much better performance

Harmes - reward for effort

Petracca - hard tag again

Jackson - solid game again

Viney - hard as nails

Lever - welcome back Rick

Spargo - not his best

Brayshaw - Mr reliable again

Gawn - destroyed his opposition

Oliver - well below best

Langdon - absolute running machine

Bowey - still hasn't lost

Tomlinson - not yet convinced

Jordon - really good game

Rivers - question on fitness 

TMac - second best forward

Weid - never got going

Hunt - clubs best golfer

ANB - second efforts great

Fritta - some good cameos

Sparrow - clone of Viney 

Kozzie - love his pressure

That's how you destroy him.

Brown in and Tom managed, giving Weid another crack.

Weid just needs to get a few games and build confidence.

He could have kicked 6 last week.

Tom hasn't looked like that for  quite a while.

Our delivery into the forward line was poor last night and didn't help Weid.

If a player is managed there is the implied understanding that they will return the following week. IF Brown and Weid play well what happens to Tmac? Bad for trust if he’s kept out then. Must be dropped on form, injury or team structure requirements. Management is only a temporary rest.

That's fine whatever you want to call it, my point is Weid stays in next week if you don't want to destroy him.

Maybe, however Weid has shown himself not to be reliable.

Weideman drew a lot of attention from a spruced up backline of Port.

Two multiple goal kickers in our forward half.

 

Are we mishandling Weid? For some reason he is never the prime target as BBB is and other times gets displaced by Maxie or dogga.

Is it time for Weid to be given the chance one out against his defender and become the main target?

Now that he has played to his known form, maybe Maxie could use a rest. We don't want to overuse him.

Right there is your problem - nobody knows what he can consistently deliver because even when he has given consecutive games he failed to lock down a position - so we really have no clear idea what his "known form" is

I'm not saying he doesn't deserve another crack next week just that we should not be reconfiguring our whole forward structure around him - he needs to find a way to work with any structure , any week 

My personal view is that he looks a significantly better player when allowed to run onto the ball (leading with space in front) - he is very easily pushed aside by key defenders and is never going to succeed relying on contested marking. If there is away to free up that space without compromising the ability of other forwards to contribute then great. Fritta seems to be able to make this work with astute timing for his leads and clever positioning around the drop of the ball. 

One of the big challenges for Sam is to ensure that each time he takes the field he walks off having made a meaningful contribution as is the case with the whole squad. This doesn't always have to be measured on goals kicked but the gap between Sam's better games and poorer performances remains significant

  • 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.
