Looks like they will be on Gosch's this morning. 

Saw a few in the car park, including Jackson, who appeared fine.

I'll be here, though it looks like a 10.30 start at the earliest.

    Got a  chance to walk out on the surface. 

    There are patchy areas, some grass is brownish, a little less growth in places, and the line can be seen between the slabs. Feels firm underneath and generally well levelled. 

    They are still not out, perhaps an 11 o'clock start.

    Happy watching the storm go about it.

    Still waiting, if not by 11.30 I'm out.

    The training cart has turned up.

    There will be a session.

    Two in rehab, Rosman and Tmac.

    BBB on the ground late and in runners, joined the main group, for about 5 minutes, then back into the sheds.

    Joel Smith training in the forward groupings.

    Bowey was with the seconds. The seconds left the field,.

    Jake Lever did his own warm up, then joined the group, appears unhampered.

    Jackson in with the group.

    Now they have all left. 

    A quick 1/2 hr.

    Harmes is doing a little extra work.

    Weid was with the seniors, appeared upbeat.

    JVR with the forwards when they split and with the seconds when they finished on the track.

    They all did a warm up and some run throughs from goal to goal together.

    They then split up into their lines and went to three drill stations, which they rotated through. 

    I watched the one that Williams took. He wanted them to look around then perform a sharp 10 meter pass. He didn't stop talking.

    The group split into seniors and seconds.

    Just as they were getting warm they left.

    There was minimal kicking, and everything was 1/2 pace.

    Thought it was great that nearly the whole squad was together.

    Please let us know who is not training or in rehab? (AKA LEVER ANKLE WATCH)

    Also could you please inspect the state of TMac's foot.

    Tmac was out there for a fair bit of time.

    Mainly easy running and some kicking.

    Lever started his warm up with the group, he second guessed himself  and went to warm up by the fence, stretching mainly his ankle area.

    Trained with everyone as per normal. 

    I think he is right to go.

    Thanks KM looks like our injury list has improved immensely not so good for BB but still has 4 days, although I wouldn’t rush him if he isn’t 100%.

    if bbb doesn't come up for this week. i'd be tempted to try tomlinson at full fwd. he's a handy mark and a good kick. his vfl form has been good too.

    Starting to warm to this idea each week. We really just need a contest, if he provides it then it's worth considering.

    Very keen to see which group Smith is with and how he's pulled up from the weekend.

    Smith trained as normal and in the forwards group.

    When they split into seniors and seconds, Joel was talking with coaches though left the field with the seconds.

    He trained with the back-line.

    Past history tells us that TMac doesn't carry injuries well and takes multiples of games to hit his straps when he does come back. 

    I am a fan but wouldn't expect to see him again this year

    I’m of the same view unless he gets up for the VFL scratch game that Goodwin mentioned was going to occur the weekend before finals start and plays well. If not I think it’s too risky to bring him in for a PF or GF.

    No, doesn't seem bigger, though I know it is.

    Soon they'll finish the final touches of the landscaping for the non-playing area.

    • 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.
