    McAdam will be a bargain recruit.

    Agree 100% Dazz, but also on what I saw of Billings last Friday, he will also become a bargain basement buy with huge upside! T. Mac down back? well on what I saw I would say if thats the case it's all over, unfortunately just too slow.

    Big year for Bill Laurie, a lot of competition for spots and I worry his lack of pace will see him never consolidate a half forward gig and lack of size will hurt him in the middle. But his game against Sydney as the sub was really good, he’s got some real class. Hopefully he can keep impressing on the track.

    Spargs hitting targets as usual and Trac powering through the middle.

    Yep, have been into this since the start. Was showing some excellent form before suspension, then just couldn’t bust back into the fold. Must have been frustrating, and I reckon he’ll want to prove one or two things to his previous employers.

    Agree it's a big year as it is for Woewodin but I can't see Bill making it in the present gameplan. Perhaps if we moved the ball faster and more directly he could be a useful player. Hard to tell

    I can’t believe we pay people for weird trick shots and a fascination with the new kids hair.

    If I was coaching Lachie Hunter and he was kicking the ball from a cone I’d shove it where the sun don’t shine.

    Come on MFC media, give us something interesting.

    Interesting clip in terms of highlighting good and bad kicking technique.

    I cant make out who has the first kick to Trac, but good technique with the ball drop close to his foot and hits a stationary Tracc.

    The last kick is by brown, and again good technique with the ball drop close to his foot and hits a leading Farris White.

    The odd man out is tracc. Ball drop nowhere near his foot. Terrible technique.

    It's actually a nice kick in terms of putting it in space for i think Farell to run onto which keep the ball in motion - a kick that Tracc is good at, in large part because there is bigger margin for error than say spotting up a stationary target or kicking for goal.

    IF we can release Brown and Windsor like that through the middle and off half back. It will change our transition game immensely. Not saying itll happen straight away but having the ball in Brown, Windsor, Spargs and Billings hands going i50 will change our shape in the coming years.

    I think I spotted Chandler in one of the clips the club posted today. Good to see him back on board!

    Since 2020, when Petracca has more than his season average for score involvements

    2020 (more than 6) 5 wins 2 losses

    2021 (more than 8) 11-0

    2022 (more than 8) 10-1

    2023 (more than 8) 8-1

    In a nutshell, if Petracca plays an above average game and turns his possessions into scores we win.  If he kicks well we go into God mode (see end 2021) 

    Of course, one could argue it's the forwards output as much as the kicker but if there's one wish I have for next year is he has an up year in terms of his kicking.  Only Bont and Martin come close (and not even that close) to his importance in converting midfield possession to where it matters.

    I hope he is, he has the skills.  But his 2km time trial showed where he lacks.

    and has been the knock on him the whole time he was at Adelaide.

    big pre-season for him to change that opinion of him.

    • 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.
