Choco Williams needs to get stuck into the kicking training again. Our accuracy has been horrible the last 5 matches and is basically the difference now.

    Jesus, you'd think GWS would think they're a legit chance.

    Isn’t every one just thrilled that we gave up a home game to travel interstate?

    Geelong got momentum from their crowd and played to their strengths at home. We gave this game up.

    I absolutely hate it. Melbourne homes games at the G only. If we want to be taken seriously start acting that way.

    We aren’t dropping our best forward from tonight, Champ.

    In: Brown, Bowey, Tomlinson, Oliver (worth a punt), Harmes (sub)

    Out: Chandler, Spargo, Jordon, Petty

    Whatever we do, can we actually have a tactical sub that can impact the game with some power. Harmes (who I'm not a massive fan of) would've been a better choice tonight given the conditions.

    Smith sucks people in, he's a flashy play or two a game, but can't play footy

    Re Joel Smith-I wasn't sucked in AD. I saw the excellent work he did in the first half with his marks, contesting, knocking on, handballs when the rest of the. team was struggling. He actually showed leadership with his efforts. He was quieter in the second half but one of our better players overall who contested hard all night and was effective. In my view he is a very important player for us.

    We can bring it back to Melbourne but it will end up at Marvel. We won't get another game at the G

    Yeh not a fan of a small forward being the sub.

    Angus, Lingers, Kozzy all had bad games and have been off their best, lingers in particular for a while. 

    So tired of us picking blokes on reputation over an actual performance given to the coaches, dropping Tomlinson has proved to be an absolute shocker as most of us thought it was. For Petty to stroll back in and serve that up was horrendous.

    Fine by me. There will be 25,000 Melbourne supporters there, who can give our boys some momentum and belief.

    They aren’t getting that playing in front of 5,000 impartial footy fans in Port and Adelaide jumpers in Alice.

    Hopefully Brown has a good run for Casey this week. Would like to see him back in asap, would help the small forwards as well.

    He has to be dropped. Absolutely a liability. May pressure well but useless when has the ball.

    Tomlinson back into defense. Petty forward. 

    JJ out.  Bowey in. 

    Spargo not the sub. 

    Hibbo to play on Greene. 

    Do we need to give Gawn a week off? He seems cooked.

    I assume Clarry won’t play. Obviously if fit he is in for literally anyone that isn’t Viney as I would kill for another player with clean ball handling skills in the contest.

    Not sure who goes in and out as we never make a lot of changes.

    I'd look to bring Oliver and Bowey in. Would like a proper key forward in as well, Brown being the most likely candidate but not sure how likely that would be.

    Jordon, Spargo and Chandler all in danger of being dropped while Hibberd may need further resting and Petty looks underdone.

    Will probably end up being Oliver in, Jordon out.

    Brown in and forward, Petty back to Casey to be replaced by Tomlinson (should never have been dropped in the first place).

    Brown needs to prove himself at Casey. He’s banged up and immobile. He doesn’t solve our issues IMO. 

    TMac is who we desperately miss. A tall who can play higher up and take contested marks. We’ve looked awful up forward ever since he stuffed his foot in 2022. 

    This is a role Petty can play well and it’s what they tried to get Smith to do.

    Fine theory, but this game would be played at Docklands not the G, and would cost the club $500k and mean we needed to find a new sponsor rather than the NT govt

    • 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.
