ANB is only behind Petracca for score involvements for us.... this one hurts big time he's not easily replaceable

Top 5 (on averages) here are....

1.  Tracc 8.7

2.  Clarry 7.5

3.  ANB (equal third with Dunstan but of course Dunstan's isn't an average) 7.0

4.  Your nickname sake BB 6.3  ; and

5.  Fritta with 5.5

Harmes is just behind Fritta on 5.3

If Dunstan fires up with a similar output to last week i reckon we are well covered here

    Baffles me people still try to put ANB down.

    It betrays one’s knowledge of football.

    If Nibbler was training today then I expect there'll be more outs tomorrow unfortunately..

    Interesting that Melksham was brought in from outside the four emergencies announced yesterday.

    I wonder if one of the four emergencies got it as well as ANB, and Melksham was brought in.

    Good stats, but his skill execution and overall performance has dipped this year after a stellar 2021.

    At this rate we’re going to have players play tomorrow and then test positive early next week and miss St Kilda.

    I’ll be super impressed if we can win the next two.

    Perhaps stop doing RATs until postgame from now??

    That risks next week against St Kilda… odd few weeks coming up I think

    ANB hurts most I reckon

    That run is hard to replace and has been critical to our game plan

    And the hitting targets when getting on the end is immense

    Wondering if we would have been better fared bringing in Baker to cover ANB's role instead of Melk??  Although Melk is probably better at that kick coming inside .... oh well.

    From memory Melksham played the Hawthorn game early last year and was looking very dangerous

    He and Langdon kicked 3 in the earlier Hawthorn game last year.

    Can someone explain to me when are they gonna get rid of all these H&S stuff? Surely with player triple or even 4th jabbed and most of them already caught the disease it's just around the corner.

    I worry multiple games missed, like the flu this disease can present again throughout the year.

    What difference does it make? He has COVID after he most likely developed symptoms this arvo.

    What is becoming increasingly clearer though is that RATs and daily testing using RATs are pointless. The club could have easily avoided an outbreak had the AFL employed PCR testing as the preferred method of testing. 
    understand it’s a bit more logistically challenging, and more expensive but in our case would have probably avoided this mess.

    He's had one fumbly game where his pressure and running was still elite.

    Just provided stats to you to show he's having a big impact this year.

    Seems you're just biased.

    Sad but true, the more the odds are stacking against us, the more comfortable I feel. 57 years of underdog status is hard to shake. 
    Go Dees.

    Day after Queens bday. Someone in the team needs to host a COVID party and bolster immunity for the remainder of the season.

    Makes you wonder if any other VIC clubs are going to cop it in the neck like we have.

    Apparently Collingwood’s entire squad (or most of it) had it in the off season. Wonder if they’ll cop a second round of it?

    • 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.
