    JVR?

    We've selected 6 marking "talls" if you count Fritsch and I do. We can play 3 forward and 3 back if necessary.

    Ah yep, slipped my mind, I was just replacing Melksham with TMac in my mind. Still don’t think we are that tall and as you say seem balanced. Also Smith can go back at a moments notice.

    T Mac or Smith will play back IMO.

    The last time we went small in defence with the May/Lever/Hibberd combo was the Freo loss. We rectified this by bringing in Tomlinson the next week against Carlton in order to have a recognised third key defender. And the results have seen us with a 10-3 record with either Petty, Tomlinson or Turner as the key third defender.

    I have no clue why we’ve abandoned this proven formula other than they’re  playing Smith down back tomorrow.

    Because it's gonna rain mate. That completely takes away our intercept ability in the air and also helps nullify their talls in the air.

    Wow! What a refreshing listen.

    Looking forward to hearing a lot more from Phil.

    He was insightful, but he's less inventive than me with his vocabulary.

    Posted this on the ticketing thread but no takers, so here it is again.

    We are falling like flies.  I too am sick and can no longer go.  Ticket is Q54 row A seat 11.  Please someone enjoy it! No cash needed.  I believe the seat is under cover!

    Really pleased to say that my ticket has gone to someone who has had a tough week and is extremely grateful.  Please demons, don't make this persons week any tougher.  Bloody win!

    Actually don't have issue with Hibberd returning to be honest.

    Being of an expense of a tall forward is my biggest issue though. We've gone from a system that has completely worked to the most where all purely numbers back to what they were in 2021 to now potentially throwing that put of wack.

    Mate, you spent 3 days saying he was finished, he wouldn't be back in, he was a terrible human and should be sent to Azkaban. And now you don't have a problem with him returning? lol you funny guy.

    Considering how the weather got worse as the week gone by I took into consideration that maybe perhaps they'll do the change purely to add more run. With that in mind I had him as a potential in for Smith.

    Leaving the extra tall just doesn't sit well with me but.

    Lucky we'll win anyway.

    At least he called Gerard by his name. Not enough players do that.

    I’m a little uneasy about dropping the third tall defender for Hibberd but I can understand the reasoning.

    If our midfield and forward half defensive pressure is where we need it to be, we won’t have to worry about that third tall as much.

    Best thing Hawkwind ever did was this with Lemmy

    not sure i get the reasoning. Lever has to play loose  Hibberd and Smith are not tall key defenders

    if their scoring efficiency is high every time they get inside 50 they won’t need many chances. we don’t have anyone that can get near Cox’s elbow!

    it will kill me if he is the difference

    ill be having USA USA nightmares tonight my friends

    Let's hope this performance is a lot better then his last when he got towelled up by Gary [censored] Rohan in the wet or when he played against Collingwood last year and Elliot kicked 4 on him.

    Agree. 

    We've unfortunately taken away our strengths.

    Collingwood have bene vocal that they'll target and tag Lever which then leaves May as the only tall trying to do the grunt work.

    We've finally found a defensive structure that has clicked well with the 3 talls. Our defensive numbers improved this year thr moment we implemented the 3rd tall mid way through the year.

    Nervous as I am I can’t help thinking Oliver is going to play the best game of his career

    Which will give the Pies little or no hope of winning 

    There so everyone stop worrying

    • 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.
