...  And they did bulk running at the end of training.  Not ideal for a game at 10 tomorrow morning.

This was:

Trac, May, Langdon, Gawn, Salem, Spargo, Viney.

Better time than 10am on a Friday morning during school time like Sydney v GWS TODAY.

Do they seriously get funds for growing the game in NSW?

    The DA props-maker (and one of our triumvirate of leaders) has already got a great idea for a handheld banner. She’s running with it already. Now to convince the entire playing group 🤔 

    I vote for  - & Co

    Oliver, Petracca & Co

     

    Not my idea, can't remember who thought of it.

    Probably ends up Anco

    "Bison" is Mitch Marsh.  Langford deserves a nickname of his own.

    With a name like ‘Harvey’, I’d suggest ‘Rabbit’ as a nickname.

    It’d better be! I’ve told him I’d make it happen. But then I told him I’d find him a girlfriend (it’s a long story) and that hasn’t happened so he must know I’m full of empty promises 😅

    edit: I’ve just messaged this nickname info to the DA powers that be, including asking how we can make this happen. Now I await their reply which will likely be along the lines of GW- stop making promises for us to follow through on. 🙃

    Could always use a megaphone 📣 and start shouting things like, "kick it to Bison", "nice kick, Bison" and initially you will see confusion amongst the team, especially Bison, but persist, and especially get excited when he puts it through the big sticks, "nice goal, Bison!" Doing it in a positive reinforcement way will make the name stick. I also want this filmed for the socials.

    Love to hear it. No point risking the guys said who are missing out against North in that weather. Save em. Protect the older bodies/ guys with injury clouds.

     

    No doubt the majority if not all will be on the plane to play freo next week as well👍🏼

    I would like to see the player management like the Cats did in 2022. They did a superb job of it that year in particular with their 'older' players.

    A confused Bison can’t be a good thing.

    But thanks for the suggestions, especially the megaphone. However, we had to apply to the AFL for permission to use a drum, I just can’t see them signing off on a megaphone.

     I gleaned that. 😄 Maybe 5 or 10 years ago someone wrote an article (in a newspaper I think) suggesting that AFL teams should go out of their way to find attractive local ladies to win the hearts of interstate recruits and thus stop them wanting to return home. Sure, love doesn't work as smoothly as that, and Harvey is local anyway. But it was an interesting and amusing idea (and probably sometimes these interstate romances happen anyway.)

    • 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.
