Thing is Disco is playing extremely good footy as the third tall down back.

Could never understand why Goodwin would drop him.
Can be swung forward too.

    I continue to be impressed with Bowey's rapid rise this season.

    Many could argue that he gets a lot of easy ball with his role but there were several occasions where he put his body on the line.

    Went at 86% DE as well.

    Good call.

    Went off the boil after his shoulder injury

    He's back to his best this year.

    Which is bl56dy damn good.

    Lever back means Disco up forward I reckon which prob means AJ is out.

    Nah ... AJ is so useful and bruising - and gives it all with a gusto that the big 'uns in opposition did not expect - he can replace Spargo who, IMO, is an under-performer. AJ, Lever and Disco as a fwd might well make us a regularly nasty proposition. Chandler was a great contributor in this game, as well.

    100% i had him delisted in the near future at the start of the season, but he has turned it around epically. I'd love to see him get on a few chains and HB receives and kicking it from the front half more as well. Once/if those score involvements start going up, then he'll start getting noticed a lot more as well.

    You seriously had Bowey down as a possible player to delist? Unbelievable.

    You know, had we converted against the Hawks last week - we had them on toast - and won, we would be just outside the 8 on percentage only. Instead we're 1 win + %, but that's nothing in the scheme of a long season and we're still in the front 9.

    Looks like we're winding up and the team is starting to believe.

    With Viney and Lever back, that'll just about be the best, and most settled team we can put forward.

    With a consistent team, gaining in belief and fitness, who knows?

    He has been crucial in getting our slingshot game going and was fantastic again today. Really growing into the role after his injury interrupted season last year.

    Shout out the the Melk.
    He stated a couple years ago he was playing every game like his last.
    Just keeps on keeping on.

    Fritsch needs to bring that effort consistently. That's the standard now. Great cameo as sub.

    Melksham was unreal.

    Gawn's late clunks were huge.

    Again great call.

    Last two sentences especially.

    How great to have a quality forward that plays with so much intensity in Melksham.

    He was even considerate enough to give his opponent a drink.

    And I suppose a bath.

    Bowey has become elite. What a great game. He missed that target on the wing, otherwise he was superb. Won so many clutch moments.

    A game high 10 intercept possessions, 5 score involvements and 1 goal assist at 86% DE.

    A+ Bowser! 👏👏👏

    Delisting was abit of a stretch but he fell off a cliff last year after being KO'd.

    I'll forever be convinced that we win the flag in 2023 if he didn't get injured.

    We were one forward short and he was in fine form. He shows up in big games too.

    Can't wait to watch the replay.

    May even watch some other footy shows. Probably not classified as much as I'd like to see smug McClure praise our win

    Lindsay's second half was huge.

    He learns, onfield, against them all - atoning for let-downs from others; the thinking footballer, with silky skills and separating pace.

    I'm in with your theory on that. We lacked the ability to kick goals, it's exactly what he does.

    We lose Petty, Melk, and Brayshaw. All three impact our ability to score (Gus going down meant Trac couldn't play forward).

    My 6yo (who got his first membership this year) has sung the song about 80 times since the last siren. What a sight.

    That's why we follow these things - as silly as it may all be some time - a bunch of strangers running around an oval, eliciting these big emotions. Getting us all riled up, excited, euphoric and broken, sometimes all in a minute.

    Then we run out, the underdogs, with the footy world and media having written us off. Our culture scrutinised every single moment.

    And we claim the win. Away from home. The song sung louder than it has in a long time.

    This is why we share these moments with our loved ones.

    Go Dees ❤️

    • 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.
