Andy Moniz Wakefield.  It’s time to give him a go.  And not just one game. Three games minimum.  He’s still learning but gives it a rip.

Yes for Bowsa or even Billings to assist with transition chains and the last kick coming inside 50.

Kolt in to share the 4th mid role with Sparrow as the tactical sub for a block of 4 to 6 matches to see how he handles it?

Although Sparrow didn't attend any  CBs vs the Eagles so what is his role at these times?  Run with cooler on someome post bounce or a medium HF role shared with someone else like McAdam?  If so i'm not sure that's working either.

So if the FD decides "no Sparrow at CBs" this week for whatever reason... just bring Kolt in for Sparrow to attend a fair % of CBs and Sparrow plays the tactical sub?

    Sparrow to Richmond. Apparently loved by Yze as they regular kick to kick sessions in the park and chai lattes in the local cafe.  Only joking but I think Tom Sparrow must get the message that his place is not assured and he needs to step up.  He’s not a boy anymore.   He’s 24 next week.  We are wanting to see more.  More contested winning of the footy. More goals.  More ball use efficiency.

    I say we sack everyone and start afresh. Burn down the MGC while we’re at it.

    Then relocate to Geelong and a new ground and training base funded by the government in no time.

    If we could go back in time I would certainly advocate “let’s play the kids”, like about 12 of them immediately! This showed up in my FB, I guess it’s the Reserves side for a game in 1991. [censored] it shows how much the talent pool has been diluted over the past 30 years. I mean talk about emerging talent and experience still on the list if needed!

    Lot of well known names and future stars there, Earl.

    I suspect many of those were injured that particular week and that the record just listed all the players who were not named in the seniors.

    edit:  Those that ran out for the main game that day would have included O'Dwyer, Lyon, Spalding, Lovett (x2), Owen, Stynes, Viney (T.), Grinter, Bennett, Febey (S.), Beveridge, Wight, Keogh, Clarke, Rhode, Jackson and Cuthbertson.

    What a list, how did we not snaffle a premiership in the 90’s?

    While I think that ‘the vault’ is already open, I would prefer we use the rest of this year to prolong the careers of Gawn, May, and Viney. 

    There is no point flogging these guys when we just don’t have it.

    These three are at the end of their careers.

    The problem is nothing has come up from below

    I tend to agree.

    Kolt & Ollie are being groomed as goal kicking forwards who go to the middle and get clearances. They are both big bodied kids who need to develop a tank. Trac moving forward has taken that away. The loss of Gus is huge and add to that the loss of Trac and the midfield looks a little bare

    No offence to Chandler & Laurie but they are small, not particularly quick and don't kick goals and rarely get double digit possessions. Maybe AMW should get a go, he has the pace. Look at how Windsor has settled in, he is tall, has pace and gets the ball

    Turner forward has me baffled as I think he is a Backman who has less experience as a forward than Jefferson who is a natural forward.

    It has been the club policy not to rush the kids and give them a season at least at Casey. I cannot see them changing that just yet. Personally I would prefer Fritch on the flank and 3 marking targets JVR and 2 others.

    We have a fortnight to contemplate and Casey have a bye as well.

    • 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.
