TMac is not your typical sub unless you are thinking injury sub.

I think they're desperate for someone to back up Max but you could be right that in view of the weather they might go small.

This game looks increasingly tough to win

frost was sub last week for dingley to allow the flexibility to throw sicily forward

in the end he came on early as worpel was crocked; didn't hurt their set-up at all

    Interchange: Sharp, Billings, AJ, Lindsay

    Langford or Hendo sub

    If no AJ, who is second ruck?

    We deliberately haven’t named wings to keep GWS guessing so I expect Billings and Lindsay are first picked out of that 7.

    Leaves 2 more spots at the sub.

    Probably change my mind 10 more times between now and Sunday but as of right now I’d probably go Jeffo and Henderson.

    Not sure Harvey is ready. AJ’s too much bulk and I just don’t want Sharp turning it over in dangerous spots (he’d be sub).

    I thought Tom Green was another week away. God dammit :(

    He’ll be a late out. Why risk it at the start of the season.  Stupid if he plays.

    JVR can give Max some rest time if needed.

    Yes injury early on, then could run a wing, play forward or back, or, Tmac to give Petty some forward time.

    The struggled in the 3rd quarter and then Sicily went forward and they got their balance back. Not opposed to a tall sub but you need flexibility in the team and the right weather

    B: Lever May Bowey

    HB: Rivers Petty Salem

    C: Langdon Viney  Windsor

    HF: Henderson AJ  Sharp

    F: Fritsch   JVR  Chandler 

    R: Gawn  Oliver Petracca

    I/C Langford Sparrow Billings Lindsey 

     

    that’s what I’d go for 

    That's a solid team 👌

    Jvr for 5 minutes a quarter doesn’t hurt him, the Giants don’t have a second ruck so if JVR is hot and Disco is cold then it can be Disco 

    Better question is who gives us the best impact forward especially working around the 2 bigs, Fritsch and Tracc

    Doubt TMac plays either.

    Look away @binman

    He's still a good chance of being selected.

    However, I've come to terms as evidenced by this bit from a previous post in this thread:

    The other challenge we face defensively is our relative lack of leg speed.

    If we don't play the deep anchor role we have traditionally used to defend turnovers (or use it less often -or perhaps set not as deep) our defenders have to have the wheels to get back when we turn it over. And we are not blessed with speed.  

    On that front I've been very bullish that tmac plays, but perhaps Howes gets the nod as he is considerably quicker than tmac. And I've no doubt this a big factor in Windsor going back.

    Dub I think you're on the wine or something. No way is Langdon the sub

    Hendo is a risk of what he can bring right now but the way I see it is, if it’s raining a lot you’ll get 50% from our talls especially Turner so might as well get 50% from a small haha

    who do you have as second ruck PF?

    Keefe against Gawn should be tasty

    Gawn will teach him how to work around the ground 

    Very small chance Giants risk Green with a calf. they would be mad. 

    We’ll win this!

    I thought he was serviceable against Norf, I was surprised they didn't play him against Freo. But I'd be even more surprised if they backflipped again and played Jeffo ahead of AJ given Johnson looked pretty solid.

    Especially with the conditions predicted

    That centre line looks powerful. Stuff premierships are built around.

    Are you quoting yourself big fella?

    With the way even the Giants saying "Green is a potential in" on their social media, I'm pretty confident he won't end up playing.

    • 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.
