Melksham looks like he got off without any penalty.

Yep, all clear for Melk.  Only Yeo got a fine for umpire contact in our game.

    Rankine got 4 weeks? Must’ve been a bad hit

    Great news. 

    Shout out to Alison O'Connor for trying to bring it to the MRO's attention in her match report....

    We just need a contest in the ruck, and he's more than proved he's a good contested mark forward and back.

    I think we'll find you are close to the mark.

    Stop it with the harmony and politeness. Have you forgotten where you are Uncle? This is Demonland and respect and manners don't go unpunished.

    The ruck position is important in so far as you don't want to be dominated in that spot.  An ability to at least negate is important.  However, I agree with Binmans PA that Petty could be an adequate replacement around the ground with his marking ability.  He's absolutely useless at centre bounce, as demonstrated by his efforts in the Alice against Freo, but he can take a mark and he moves reasonably well.  He's no Gawn, but he's probably the best option we have.  Also, re Draper specifically - he loves to get forward - remember how he torched Grundy last year.  At least Petty could defend him when he runs inside 50. He might also be able to hurt him the other way.

    Is Petty fit enough to run with Draper?

    Amazing. Not like we play two top 4 teams in the next two weeks who happen to have really good ruck combos. 
     

    2024 is not it.

    No, that is realism.  Because we do play 2 such teams and we are missing the Captain.  It's pessimism to say we haven't got a hope of winning a single clearance and just as well play Billings in the ruck.

    Of course it's realism.

    Thankyou

    But you're not allowed to speak about 'reality' here according to some.

    Realism is seeing something for what it is. Anything else is sentiment.

    Absolute travisty . Playing 3 teams who will benefit enormously from Max's abscence.

    Speedy recovery big fella.  No need for heroics Max, just a good rehab. 

    The reset is for 25 .

    all true, but there are too many pessimists on here who are unrealistic in their pessimism.

    So who’s rent free for whom now?

    Of course, assuming you’re referring to me, the bolded bit is not at all what I said.

    Surprised more hasn’t been made of the incident around here.

    A chance to miss a week or 2 after finally making his return…

    Personally I was in too much shock to be jumping up and down about it, then I slid seamlessly into denial. Now I’m straight-up furious. If he’s suspended it will be disastrous for him as well as the team. I can’t imagine how he’s feeling right now. All the bloody work he’s done to get back and this happens. 🤬

    edit: been offline all arvo. Just heard the great news 🥳🥳🥳

    • 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.
