ANB, Sparrow, Brown, Spargo all liabilities. A mirror image to last week except we won.

No chance tho, presumably

    Joel Smith or JVR in the forward line to create some dynamic contests.

    Bowey in for Salem who has been awful all year.

    Harmes in to tag Neale and remain a tagger for rest of his career because that’s where he plays his best football.

    ANB or Spargo out because they simply do not provide the crumbing up forward we need.

    Ben Brown out even though Weideman hasn’t been good we seem to play better with him in the team. I prefer Weideman to Jackson (contract distracted) as the second ruck at the moment.

    Get Jordon the handbrake off the wing.

    Do we have a better option than Sparrow?

    We need another tall forward. I don’t care about Weids ongoing form, I think we need him.

    Weed or JVR would be more competitive than BBB

    OUT - Jordon

    IN - Harmes

    Really need a second tall forward IMO, but can't see Goody doing it.

    Would rather BBB with a missing leg over Weid

    van Rooyen on the other hand there's an argument for, which is concerning

    Melksham should get dropped for zero tackles. ANB and Spargo were so dynamic with their pressure. I don't know what we'd do without them.

    I'm being facetious.

    Will never happen but we’d be no worse with Harmes for Petracca. His defensive work is a joke and he’s not giving much offensively.

    JJ and Sparrow just going about their roles. So they’re the most vulnerable. Gus more wing and Harmes to Neale makes sense.

    Not really his fault but Spargo struggling. Bedford and Chandler managed this week from VFL

    The problem with the side is mostly the best players underperforming and not the role players.

    Harmes in 

    Sparrow to medi-sub.

    Harmes might kick a one or two.

    Only change - a forward option to help out. Apart from the one-arm efforts and concrete hands, BBB must have contested 30 aerial  contests, and was two-to-one or three-to-one every time. He needs a hand. Joel Smith is a point of difference option who I would consider heavily.

    Harmes for Spargo and please give JVR a go.

    • Like 6

    Spargo is about the only one able to deliver inside 50 but he's been very poor in the contest and barely touching it. I'd drop him for a second key forward, Weid/Jvr/Smith I don't really care.  I like Brayshaw in the middle but reckon he can be covered there, move him to the wing, drop Jordon and bring in Harmes. Bowey would be a useful in but not sure how we squeeze him in.

    I'd bring in Bowey for Spargo. At least he knows how to find the ball and is an equally good user.

    We still need more potency in attack, but stubborn Goody won't make any changes.

    Edit: subbing myself off. Hunt was brilliant on reflection.

    What I’d like is

    Harmes for Neal Bullen

    Bowey for Spargo

    Smith or Van Rooyen for B. Brown

    Hunt to the wing, Jordon to midfield rotations.

    Against a side with 3 talls he stays in but against smaller line ups we really should ask what the point of Lever is chasing around half back flankers, Hibberd, Hunt and Rivers all did a better job intercepting and actually provide rebound. 

    ANB, Sparrow, Brown, Spargo all liabilities.
     

    ins. Harmes and Chandler 

    outs. Any TWO of ANB or Sparrow or Spargo 

     

    Fritsch has to do better. 

    it’s BEN Brown or JVR … so Brown stays in only as JVR is still so young. 

     

    Hunt was great, ANB tried hard. They keep their spots

    Outs. 
     

    - kicking bombs to the forwards 

    - slow and wide ball movement 

    - endless useless handballs that are easily intercepted 

    Ins 

    - use the corridor more 

    - BBB taking a contested mark.  (Not always going one handed) 

    - Quick play on style footy

    • 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.
