They’re doing a 3/4 field drill where they’re marking on the wing but then progressively bringing in into the middle and kicking up the guts into the forward line rather than going to the pockets. Hmmmm

That is how we played Brisbane at the Gabba recently.  Delivery was deep i50 and we scored freely and accurately. 

Couldn't understand why we didn't try it last week in the 4th when the game was on the line.

    I agree with David King's comments on 360.

    I think we can win tomorrow night without Petracca and we need him at 100% against Geelong.

    We saw what happened last time he said he was 'right to go'. He was absolutely useless against Freo when he was crook.

    This is where the coach needs to step in and think about what's best for the team on the night as well as going forward.

    I'd rest him, then load up and throw everything at Geelong.

    No Dunstan and Tommo suggests Tracc and Rick will play.

    May has a wild shot at goal that lands about 30cm away from Trac's head.

    Close one...

    Dr. Laura's explanation of the bone injury gives me confidence he'll play and worth a listen.  Its the cork to the calf that's clearly the issue re: pain and movement.

    Lever saying at a presser earlier this week that "... Trac trained well for someone with a broken leg..."  isn't helpful, although as Whateley said this week it could become the stuff of legend if we win, and Trac plays at least well or better.

    Frisch doesn’t have any strapping on his knee but seems to be sitting out of the drill. 

    someone asked him if he’s playing. He said hopefully not very confidently on my opinion. 

    Fritta would believe he still has to be selected despite 53 goals. Or he has been told to play doubtful!!

    Sounds a bit like the walking wounded! So we have Trac limping, Fritsch only hopeful of playing, Spargo doubtful, Jackson with a knee injury that requires surgery, Brown with a knee, Gawn NQR (ankle?), Lever with a foot concern, Oliver with a recently fractured thumb. Have I missed anyone? What was that old adage about taking injured players into finals?

    I told Paul Roos to give Colin Garland a go in the midfield. He didn't seem to agree with it. Two weeks later Garland got rotated through the midfield. He was a better Backman. But he did try it.

    First time I've seen JVR in person.

    He's a seriously big unit.

    Yes he looks bigger framed than on the box.  Still plenty of room for some extra muscle in the next few years.  Has a good leap on him.  In marking contests there's a glimpse of Robbo at times.

    Penny's finally dropped or is this a common theme at training?

    • Welcome to Demonland: Steven King

      The Melbourne Football Club has selected a new coach for the 2026 season appointing Geelong Football Club assistant coach Steven King to the head role.

    • 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.
