I feel bad saying this about the kid, but why did Laurie get a three year deal? They probably locked him away on average coin but it's still a list spot. Confusing.

He was called the star of the 2024 pre-season, had senior exposure and no injuries in 2024, and from all reports was fully fit and training well in 2025.

Looking at comparable players in the team for Sunday, we've got two 18 year olds, a VFL player drafted three weeks ago, and second-club player drafted 22 picks after Laurie in the same draft.

Then there's Kozzy, Spargo, Melksham and Billings who should all be available within weeks.

Hasn't shown anything at AFL level and seems a mile off the team this year.

 

 

Sunday's forecast suggests rain is most likely before 2 pm. Hopefully very minimal rain after kick off. The temperature is set to drop nicely for a game of footy, so less chance of fatigue for our players.

    Kick off? 

    What is this kick off? 🙂

    Anything like when the lights go out? Or after the flag drops or when the referee says play. Asking for a friend.

    With Jefferson and Johnson going to be named, I wonder if Daniel Turner misses out? We look top heavy.

    Fantastic recruiting has meant we actually have depth now

    This will put a rocket under guys like Turner to not just expect to be picked but to earn it

    With 6 debutants including 5 rookies it’s quite exciting but also a bit scary did even Richmond play that many rookies

    Could we use opening bounce as the term for commencement of proceedings?

    Concerned about being top heavy, however assume we will run with a mid fwd rotation along with Henderson inside our F50 and someone is getting a defensive forward role on Taylor. To win this we need to

    Win the midfield battle 

    Break even at least in the ground ball game inside our F50

    Limit their defensive run and rebound 

    Lets go Dees

    Pretty good team. 3 tall backs, 3 tall forwards, one ruck.  Good balance

    I think we need Sharp's run so I would put one of the others as the sub

    this must be a record - 6 debutants in an existing side in R1.

    This speaks to the idea of change in the club, faith shown in the recruits and a chance for us to be very different than last year.

    it comes with risk, but having 1/4 of the squad new, having Ollie and Trac back, is exciting stuff.

     

    good luck to all the newbies and Go DEES!

    That explains things  I think Disco has a really good competitive edge and a beautiful set shot so I was very surprised he was left out.

    • 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.
