Listened to Dwanes world the other day did anyone else catch Chris from Camberwells take?? He reckons Goody will be gone by seasons end. Now I know everyone has an opinion but for some reason I have a sneaky suspicion that he could be onto something here!

Oh yes, Chris from Camberwell is definitely someone I suggest you listen to. He is not at all unhinged.

    Would very much like to see Jefferson get a go. His progress this year would indicate he's worked really hard I think, and a game late in the season gives him a chance to get a feel for the pace and strength of opposition defenders and thus a target to work towards during the offseason. Otherwise, he's 6-7 months off being anywhere near a game.

    Precisely correct. What would a pre-season preparation achieve if he was not - at the minimum - experienced in the demands of the big-time game, the team of participants, the desirable options onfield and the areas of his own game that could be expanded, further developed and contributory?

    No Oliver will be interested because in theory Sparrow should play as a full time on baller. it'll be great to see how he goes. 

    Sparrow would relish something meaningful - and positive - instead of a negating role.

    I'd really hope that Sparrow would be happy to take any role assigned to him that will help the team, as I would any player.

    This match is a good chance for a lot of players to prove they have the desire to play on next season.

    Just checked our injury list and saw it includes May, Oliver, Petracca, Windsor and Spargo.  You just can't replace those sorts of players, but it's a great opportunity for the likes of Hore, Howes, Kolt & Disco (at least) to learn and smash in.

    You'd hope some of the older players that have drifted towards the end of the season, or throughout it to really come home with a wet sail too.

    Go Dees!

    Yes, I found myself listening to that on the way to Bunnings! Dear old Chris from Camberwell, " if you find a competitor's lower price on a recycled coach, we'll take it in place of the only bloke who has delivered a premiership in 60 years!"

    Did Chris from Camberwell also say that he wouldn't be buying a membership next year if the Club didn't change the CEO, the president, the coach and the doorman?

    After a promising period mid season I reckon his last month has been horrid. 

    A pity as I think he's one of the more intriguing players on our list 

    Agreed. Wonder if he will still be on the list after this year? I guess the rules changing for rookies may help

    We almost won last week, probably should’ve, don’t think we need wholesale changes.

    In other selection news, Weid is in for Essendon.

    Kynan Brown and Jefferson should be playing. Really wonder how decisions around players playing when not in form impacts the “culture” of the team. The FD have missed a trick here.

    Hope he has a great game, but has been playing in the backline. On an amusing note, Carlton has on their team sheet Matthew Kennedy at FF and Elijah Hollands at CHF - Lol, lol, lol. I hope the Weagles trounce them,

    What purpose is served by not playing them? Jefferson playing would give him a taste for it, he’d get a feel for the pace of the game or in our case lack off.

    Chris isn't the sharpest tool in the shed at the best of times.

    Casey didn’t play last week, maybe that had something to do with no Jeffo. 
    Next week might be different.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • 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.
