May and Pickett both named. The only defensive emergency cover is Howes.

McVee, Kentfield and Jefferson all returning via VFL.

    In: Fullarton, Tholstrup, Turner

    Out: Fritsch, Henderson, JVR (all dropped)

    My initial thought: WTF are we doing

    Exactly what we should rewarding form and standards. Sparrow should have been ommitted as well and Kolt straight in says more about what available below.

    Clown school, none of our elite midfielders dropped. Goody hasn’t quite yet worked out the fwds may not be the problem. The sooner he’s gone the better.

    Yeah but we’re dropping Fritsch after his best game of the last month, bringing Turner back after one week and no Casey game (so why TF did we drop him last week) and Kolt comes back without a VFL game. It’s haphazard.

    Demons selections are just as confusing as Trumps flip flopping tariff wars.

    Yeah let’s put Fullarton in for his first game against one of the best back lines in the league yet we had the chance to play him last week against a shizen Bombers backline. Makes perfect sense.

    A few suggestions that Fritta should be dropped this week.

    Given he wasn't dropped after hitting rock bottom in round 3, and actually playing better footy the last 2 weeks including a sizzling goal from the 50 arc, I'd have his omission chances at approximately 0% this week.

    Aged well

    Best game? He refused to chase again and celebrates a goal when we are getting pumped. This surely is not surprising.

    Haphazard at bloody best!


    It's the timing that I can't understand..

    We needed these changes a couple of weeks ago.

    Turner and Fullerton now after no Casey last week?

    Fritch now after he was finally beginning to show signs of turning a corner?

    And of course who could forget the classic instant "in" after a long injury lay off in Tholstrup.

    I dont agree with Kolt in with no match fitness just like I didnt agree with it with Melksham or Spargo. Fritsch game had more possession but his game was poor. I agree we are making changes that should have happened the week before ie: Fullerton in JVR/Fritsch out. I dont understand how Sparrow has survived and think we should have had more like 5 out then 3 but have no issue with the 3 chosen.

    Fritsch 10 weeks too late

    Next the Butchers in the midfield - anyone that bombs it in a fails to hit a target -drop them

    Oscar McDonald will be the 2nd ruck for Fremantle according to Justin Longmuir's press conference today. Interesting to see how Oscar plays

    Yeah. Best game. Relative to the ones before.

    It’s surprising that it’s happened this week, when it didn’t happen for the last 3 weeks.

    Yeah, I think we actually largely agree on all this. I also think dropping 3 forwards but no mids in one week is unhelpful when a significant portion of our problem is in the midfield.

    • 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.
