Was this a surprise? He was a heart-and-soul role-model kind of player. But wasn't he always at least a rung below the most talented players?

He may not have been an Ablett,but was skilled with great courage and wore his heart on his sleeve everyday for the Ds

I’m not sure if it’s streaming, but for everyone who loves this club, if you can - watch Garry’s induction speech for Jim. One of the great speeches I’ve ever heard.

Look forward to watching if/when the club puts it up on the site.

It is. But I just looked at the team of the century thread. Not everyone had him in their best 18 or even 22/23.

Are you trying to say he is not worthy of this honour? - 'cause that's what it sounds like.

His treatment and delisting ripped the heart out of our club for a long time …

Exactly.  We lacked leadership back then & we got rid of one of our most experienced players. I hated seeing him in gws colours

250 games, 2 x B&F, All Australian & Club Captain. That's a pretty solid resume, particularly for a guy who fought his way off the rookie list.

I think people also forget that pre-knee James McDonald was turning into a very special player (I think it happened towards the end of the 2000 season?).  He was still a very special player but seemed to lose some of his athletic abilities post knee surgery and yet still went on to be captain, BnF winner etc.

No it doesn't.

Yeah.... I'll be loudly protesting outside the president's office. If the beloved McDonald is not un-instated I'll be microwaving my membership card on TikTok.

Nathan Buckley said he was in his top 10 of hardest players to play against, and built like a whippet. 

He’s one of 45 former players (for us) in the Hall of Fame, so not sure relevance of Team of Century reference, leaving aside the salient comment from @Gator on that anyway.

Absolute fave of mine, have a signed photo of him on the wall leading the team out. Star of our club.

Well done, and well deserved, Junior!

Hell no. But usually wouldn't Hall Of Famers be first-mentioned when asked about best players? 

Sort of, HAF can also be service to the the club.  So his captaincy an leadership may be a big reason why.

Where as someone like Gerard Healy might make our TOTC but not a club HOF because the %^@$&^^$ left 😆

Does anyone know where we could listen to this, can't seem to find it anywhere?

I doubt it will be uploaded anywhere. It was good but more than a few expletives etc.

Aside from his pure admiration for Jimmy, his ability to use the stories and direct the punchline directly at the current playing group is pretty effective.

I can also confirm the attitude of the players was pretty upbeat about 2025.

Well apparently it's all about love this season.  Tomorrow night on ch7 sport Bec maddern sits down with goody & they showed a sneak peak just then & he talks about the love the club has.

  • 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.
