We've Gawn out in straight sets. How does the Club respond during the player draft/trading period? Does it:

a. undertake minimal list changes in the belief that a couple of game style tweaks and natural improvement in player development and skills can deliver a flag in 2023,

b. undertake a minor list renovation, moving on a couple of good servants that are unlikely to play in our next flag,

c. undertake a moderately radical list renovation, moving on eight or so players, including at least a couple that played in the 2021 flag, or

d. do something else?

Thank you for a wonderful pod each week. I'm a big fan.

    I've been to 6 games at the MCG this year for 1 win and 5 losses, should I ever attend again or is my fierce support just too distracting for the players?

    Let's park this one for the Season Review pod in a few weeks. I'm trying to not make this podcast too much of a Review/What we need to do to improve.

    We'll attempt to cover all of this in the Review pod.

    We'll solicit questions and comments in that podcast so please resubmit then as well definitely attempt to answer it.

    Blame on coaches and selection … the recipe for how the match would play out was repeated over and over again in the 2nd half of the season. We were told “we” were learning BUT nothing changed until 20 mins into final quarter and then a move in the forward line… coaches clearly never learnt 😡😡

    Hi guys, 

    Enjoying the podcast. Pity the expectations of success didn't bear fruit.

    My question whether for this podcast or the seas review is:  In hindsight can we see evidence of structural change over the 2nd half of the season by Goodwin that he mentioned in his press after the loss?

    Enjoyed the podcast when finally getting a chance to listen this morning.  @binman wondered what our record against top 6 teams away from the G was.  It's 13W-13L, but you should fact check 🙂

    Also, at the G over the same period Hawthorn are 10W-1D-11L and Collingwood are surprisingly not much better than us at 8W-1D-18L. I didn't bother to check Richmond as we know it would be ridiculously good.

    I was thinking about your question about our record at the g, and in particular your observation about the width of the g.

    A big element of our defensive sytem is covering the corridor and stopping teams using it.

    We also like to let teams switch, but get accross en masse and stop them at their hb.

    Both strategies would presumably be harder to do on a wide ground such as the g.

    And conversely, probably easier at a narrow ground like docklands.

    Both strategies require strong all team defensive running g and spread, so if, for whatever reason, we are off in this regard, our defensive sytem is vulnerable, particularly if teams move the ball quickly - and particularly at tbe g.

    • 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.
