play Clarrie at fullback like Barassi did to Flower back in the day.

That's news to me. I recall Flower being moved to half back by Barassi but can't remember him ever playing FB.

Started the game at full back on Malcolm Blight - if my memory can be trusted!

    It didn’t last long! Not a roaring success.

    This is pretty funny.

    Max said that Clarry had a hard tag and was going to other north players to create an opening for Viney.

    You give the exact example that Max provides and bag him out. 

    Your inability to read the play even after its been explained to you is alarming.

    You are a donkey.

    So I'm a donkey for not buying Max's words, when the entire point I was making was that it was spin and I didn't believe it...? 

    The example of clarry taking someone out wasn't to make space for Viney. It was Clarry letting out his frustrations. If you bothered to watch the game objectively you'd see it too. 

    Watch it closely again - over the course of the game Clarry did very little to block for Viney. Very little. The vast majority of Jack's ball and clearances was him going and getting it on his own. 

    I did say say that even having Clarry out there meant North were a man down - but don't try to  characterise that as 'selfless'. He doesn't have any control over how North choose to play him. 

    The donkey is you for believing the spin.

    Clarry was tagged, beaten and frustrated, and gave away a litany of free kicks as a result. He was extremely distracted and again if you watch the game objectively you'd see it. Everyone around me at the game could and no one thought he was being selfless. 

    Max and the club when questioned about Clarry's poor night took the opportunity to characterise it as selfless, and tried to use Jack's good night as a way to paint it as a net positive. It wasn't. Clarry and Viney can both play well and have done together many times. 

    It's pretty clearly PR 101 and spin. 

    In anticipation of another obtuse response - I'm not against all spin either. There's certainly a time and place. 

    But as I said, I'm getting sick of it, and after watching the guy embarrass my club on the field I was after a little more transparency. 

    No evisceration, but just some more accountability. In my view it's all gone on far too long

    So happy for him. He’s a great kid.

     

    We might have 10 kids under 50 games playing this week

    the highest number of any club including north

    im getting a renewed excitement for the season to see how we go

    Played less than a half against Malcolm Blight at FB. I was there. It was a disaster!

    Thought the same but would one of Howes or Bowey make way for AMW? Maybe Brown? Lever to come in also.

    we’ll have to see how Salem recovers after training too

    Go well #45 and do Matty Whelan's number proud.  The Niz to do the biz for shiz!

    Hope he can turn out to be our version of Wang-Milera from Saints. We certainly could use some fast rebound and a nice kick

    OUT: Tomlinson, Howes

    IN: Lever, AMW

    A tired Windsor to start as sub.

    K Brown full game mostly on the wing.

    First time I have ever noticed a player being on -4 AFL Fantasy Points about 20 minutes into a game. That was how well Oliver was going early on. Should be given a spell, perhaps a block of solid fitness training for 4 weeks like Geelong did with Danger!

    fantastic stuff for andy moniz-wakefield

    what's his nickname @WalkingCivilWar?

    Monners

    Sparrow to Neale. Neale earns his possessions at stoppages and in and under.  Need a bigger body. 

    ANB to the Luggage. We need a runner who can keep up and close down his easy kicks. 

    Can't let these guys get 30 each.  They generate too much momentum

    Sounds about right but Goodwin wasn’t exactly glowing about Kynan Brown’s retention in the side, in today’s presser.

    He may do. But then you move. Larry back in and keep Berry guessing . Ultimately creating a mismatch and not allowing him to settle and get into the game. 
     

    Just cannot go into the game thinking Clarry will shake the tag. The coaching panel have to do some planning to help him have a bigger impact. 

    Yeah, I applaud you thinking of options. I just don't think Clarry forward is good for him or the forward line.

    Maybe Clarry just attempts to seriously tag Neale? I know he tried it with LDU on the weekend, but maybe with a bit more prep time he will do better. 

    If I was Brisbane, I would just tag Viney and let Oliver go.

    Awesome to see Andy debut, great success story whatever happens. Rookie'd from our NGA in alice all the way to the big leagues.

    • 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.
