A weights accident! Thats bizarre.

Terrible news. She's a big loss. I love her dash and dare. 

Defensive stocks getting tested with Colvin and now Eliza going down.

    Sounds like a freak accident! Spinal is never a word you want to hear. I'm glad the surgery went well, though it sounds like a long road to recovery.

    She's had some bad luck already, with that nasty concussion early in the final last year. A super talented player and obviously a well-liked club person.

    Yikes, that is not a great start to the pre season between Colvin & McNamara. We're going to need some of the players on the fringes to really step up this year.

    Such a shame.  Eliza was having a great pre-season, working hard on everything including her speed.   Wishing her a full recovery.

    Spinal is such a scary word. Immediately shifts thoughts more to 'I hope she is okay' rather than 'how will this affect the team'.

    Of course, since we already have confirmation that she is 'okay' (relatively), well, this is going to suck for the team because she is a real spark. I mean, she is practically a human spark on field and socially!

    Get the feeling she'll hate not being able to bump around for a while. Fingers crossed for a speedy and clear recovery.

    Clubs have until August 23 to sign injury replacement players should any listed athlete be moved to the inactive list before then. 

    Eliza has been moved to the inactive list so we have an opportunity to sign another player.

    Close to being the most talented player on the list. Great shame. Hope she comes back well for 2023.

    Gutted for Eliza.  Fortunately the prognosis for complete recovery is very positive.

    Her aerobic capacity is a cut above most, and it adds a real weapon on one wing.

    She's such a sweetheart. Pity she can't be part of it this year but what a player to get back for 2023

    Noticed that Eliza's been on the bench doing some kind of role a few games this season. She'll come back with something extra from that. It'd be a tough injury to deal with but looks like she's handled it all well and making strides now, with a grin, of course, no surprise there! Will be a massive in for 2023.

    Colvin joins the 'first post-injury run' club! Plenty of time before next season to tick all the boxes.

    Of course it wouldn't be a training video without there being something alarming to notice like... Duffy in a moonboot!

    And she was good on her return - had a few goal assists and her kicking inside50 is great.

    • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

    • 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.
