LIVE AND LET DIE by Meggs

The Demons’ impressive late season charge to finals will most likely come unstuck this Saturday evening when the Bombers blow up the also-ran Blues in the Ikon Park double-header.  

To mangle McCartney, what does it matter to ya?

To have any chance to play next week Narrm has got a job to do and needs to do it well.  We’ve got to give the Pie sheilas hell, say live and let die!

It’s Indigenous Round for this game and the chance to celebrate and engage with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander culture.

Supporters are encouraged to be in their seats by 12:40pm, with students from Worawa Aboriginal College performing a traditional dance prior to Narrm running out at 12:55pm. 

A Welcome to Country from Wurundjeri man Colin Hunter Jnr will then take place before the first bounce at 1:05pm.

Saturday is forecast for a sunny afternoon, ideal for entertaining footy in Narrm’s final home game for 2024.

Both teams have endured long injury lists this season which has impacted their respective ladder positions. 

A Pies loss will see Collingwood win the wooden spoon while we Dees will have to wait until around 9pm to learn their fate.

Congratulations to Blaithin Mackin who was named in the Week 9 Team of the Week.  B has played some scintillating footy this season.

How good will it be to see A and B return fully fit for Season 2025.

Selection this week

Kate Hore has been cleared to play and Alyssia Pisano gets to play her 8th game in this debut season.  The small forward is yet break into disposals double figures.  A goal-sneaky chance this week?

Making way is Goldie who was really banged up by the heaved-handed Hawks last week receiving concussion, while reliable defender Denby Taylor is being managed.

Meggs’ view

The Demons must win. 

Collingwood is missing their Captain Bri Davey but has a solid core group of experienced players such as Brit Bonnici and Ruby Schleicher who are capable of restricting our ball movement. Can the Pies maintain the pressure for 4 quarters?

The return of Kate Hore will strengthen the midfield and Hanksy et al will enjoy her company. 

Goldie’s attack and flair will be sorely missed but Mick Stinear will ensure that others step up. 

Expecting Loz Pearce to match it with Sabrina Frederick and give our midfielders first use of the ball.  The Demons defensive group are well led by Chaplin and Gillard.  Fan favourite Alyssa Bannan is in a rich vein of form scoring in her past 5 games.  

Narrm should kick enough goals for a comfortable win.

Carn the Blues!

Narrm by 24 points

CROWD 8,412 at Ikon Park

Entertainment plus in the Season 2023 opener as the Hot Pies went cold after half time due to an 8-goal second half blitz by the Mighty Dees. 

The skill level and delivery into our forward 50 was some of the best we’d seen.

The vibe at IKON Park was great and Kate Roffey and Daisy Pearce unfurled the Demons Season 7 premiership flag. 

It was Hanksy’s 50th milestone game.  She displayed her usual gameday awesomeness, celebrating with a crushing win.

    • 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.
