6  Oliver - prevented us from being overwhelmed

5  May - undaunted in a rough night for our defenders

4  Petracca - far from a complete game but was the driver when we actually got going

3  Fritsch - crucial to the forward movements

2  Rivers - showed sustained energy and initiative when few did

1  Hunter - just to annoy the haters, who make no sense (also, there's not a lot to choose from)

    6 - May (4qutr game)

    5 - Rivers

    4 - Tracc ( great 2nd half)

    3 - Clayton ( better once he got angry)

    2 - Fritta ( if he snuck that in we could have stolen that game)

    1 - Hunter kept going all night

    That was a terrible game tonight we fumbled, bumbled, mis tackled and failed to man up and still only went down by four points, should have been 4 goals.

    It's not that simple unfortunately. One or two mids can have good game and the whole midfield thrashed. Oliver, Viney and Petracca at least got us back in the third quarter. Supporting your argument May and Fritta were the only ones to really win their positions.

    Melb's problem is the depth of it's midfield compared to the good sides. Butters, Drew, Rozee, Boak, Horne Francis, Wines, etc are better than us. Collingwood has even better depth.

    May and Fritsch were the only ones to win their positions. That part is correct, as is the depth of Port compared to us in the middle of the ground. Petracca played a quarter, Oliver was just average most of the night.  They got belted by the Port mids.  They were both better than Viney and Brayshaw but worse than Butters, Rozee, JHF and Drew.  As I said elsewhere, the fact we got three goals in front and only lost by less than a kick was pretty miraculous given that we won two positions on the night. I'm quite optimistic about what might happen this season because I doubt we will be beaten that comprehensively across the ground again this year.

    Ridiculous.

    Hibbo did his job. Didn’t give away any frees. Battled and pressured. Sure handling.  It’s not all about 25+ possessions with turnovers and stupid little handballs.  Alongside Rivers and May, he was our best defender.  Maybe 4 was ambitious but if didn’t want to elevate our Mids who disappointed on the night.

    Honourable mentions;

    None far too many had leather aversion. 

    Adjudication;

    Some free kicks in the forward line would help but the ball needs to get and be there.

    From the Directors Chair;

    Who are you? Fuchsias, Demons … ? Nice to be good community citizens but winning games of football is core business if you want to be at the big end of town.

    I thought Salem's game was amazing considering the lay off he has had away from the game.

    Good call. Great to see him back

    • 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.
