Out: Dunstan, Smith

In: Viney, Lever

Injuries and covid aside it's an easy decision this week.

Rain predicted for Friday and Saturday

    Yep, Dunstan didn't get 30 possies so he's out for Viney

    Lever ....... must come in

    Yep. I thought Dunstan was fine, even good, but that’s the pecking order.

    I thought Smith was okay too other than that one Very Joel Smith moment that we won’t talk about any further.

    Dunstan was very good but will go straight out

    Well we pride ourselves on our contested game, which wet weather induces. At least it won’t hurt our accuracy.

    Would like not to see Smith play ever again if he dishes that up. Honestly, as bad as Frost as far as giving away goals and shots on goal. 

    A few down tonight. Rivers won't want to play like that again with Hibberd and Salem not too far off. 

    Weid keeps his spot and so does Brown. They made the most of what was horrendous ball coming in. 

    Dunstan and Smith out for you know who. 

    Amazing we can win a game like that against that oppo having been so off offensively

    The MC should have an easier task this week:  Vines for Dunstan;  Lever for Smith.

    Correct. 
    Smith was not bad but he’s not and never will be Lever. 
    Open to making Dunstan the sub. Bedford didn’t play today so they probably want to get game time into him.

    Harsh on Dunstan as it can take time to establish oneself in the team. However, unless he gets high 20s or more in possessions, he is going out for Viney.

    Same deal with Smith. He has improved out of sight this year, but Lever's ability to organize our back six and play the intercept role makes him indispensible.

    It is very harsh but when you are premiers it can be harsh if you’re on the edge of the 22.

    I'd keep weid. But next week I'd like to see him lead & clunk a few. 

    Lever must come back and of course viney.

    With Casey having played today, I feel Bedford will get a run in the VFL next week and Dunstan will be our sub.

    I'd like to get 'Bill' Laurie in as sub if we are looking to ease some young talent in. Thought he had some very good moments today.

    Harmes clearly wasn’t right in the second half.

    Maysy is nursing something. I get the feeling if Petty and Lever get settled they’ll very much consider giving May a week off.

    A couple to watch.

    If Harmes needs a week off it could be Gus back to a wing, Lever down back. Or Dunstan stays in and Sparrow does more wing and less on ball.

    Dunstan should stay, controversial call but is he worse than Viney? Could he be better? I don’t know. Either way I think there’s a place for him in the team.

    TMac looked slow for Casey today. Unless the Weid just doesn’t come on over the next few weeks, or injuries, I can’t see TMac back for a while.

    • Shocked 1

    Thought Dunstan was good tonight. Viney in, he's playing some of his best football right now.

     

    Lever for Smith.

     

    IN: Kicking accuracy please, I wasn't concerned at any stage of the game, but those kicks for goal gave me the [censored].

    absolutely no way a player should make their 'debut' as a sub

    hate that when other clubs do it and wouldn't want to see us do it either

    Will be interesting to see if Lever comes back. He was on half a leg against the Giants.

    May got a huge corkie but played on. He is a warrior.

    This. 

    Mentioned in another thread, could be nothing in it but Harmes was in a tracksuit before the end of the game. One to keep an eye on this week perhaps.

    • 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.
