Personally I don't feel the need for endless 4-6 weeks and have no problem with short/long term. 

And as for ALL players being forced to see the media.- I hate that.    Imagine how that could affect a bloke going through some personal probems etc - getting asked all sorts of slimy questions so some self-styed journalist can big note themselves.

Overreaction Sue. Players can handle the questions with skill and it makes all players much more valuable and approachable to learn how to cope with the media.  Very few situations that you have quoted and shares the learning of basic skills as growth for individuals.

    Bowey will be a loss. 
     

    TMCD AND BBB  - can they contribute??

    Fullerton and Pickett back v dogs 

    Petty in v hawks 

    mcadam target for round 4. 
     

    depth is now not a big asset.  We get very skinny with youngsters.

    You'd be right except for the fact that who knows which players are in those 'very few'.  It's one thing to expect players to be available, it's another to make it complusory.

    I suppose 4 weeks is better than 4-6

    That is where is starts.

    Ouch. McAdam looked good in training sessions. We need Petty, Pickett and McAdam into our forward structure.  Fritsch and JVR (still very raw) cannot be the only target goalkickers.  We got blanks from Schache, Chandler, Spargo and ANB.

    Chandler needs to show some of that great footy he played early in the season last year. He's got the talent but something's off kilter.

    Does anyone know the deal with Joel Smith?  The AFL seems to have no clue as usual. Can he play or not.

    No doubt the AFL are making it up on the run - it is their way.

    It’s important to remember that the injury that interrupted the last few weeks of pre-season was a toe injury in his other foot to the one he injured last year.
     

    His injured foot has been good to go for a while now and has held up throughout the rehab period for his more recent toe injury.

    I'll leave it at, he's unavailable for the foreseeable future.

    • 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.
