He has been our best tall defender all season. Hardly put a foot wrong. Saying omitted is an insult. If he is being tested say so.

Again, I'm not sure how this is in response to my comment. I haven't suggested he was tested. In fact, based on what I wrote, I believe if he out with an injury that was to be tested that would be listed as injured.

If you meant "rested", then again, I think if he was actually rested they would state that (managed). I think the most likely situation is that he has been omitted. Yes he has been playing well, but he has lost his spot to an overall better player.

Think of it like this:

You coach a soccer team. Your number one Goalkeeper, the best goalkeeper in the world, is out injured. So your number 2 goalkeeper comes in to play. GK 2 plays out of their skin, amazing form, better than expected. But GK1 recovers from injury and is picked in the team this week.

GK2 isn't left in the team as well because there is only spot for one GK. GK2 isn't managed or rested, they are omitted. Not due to form, but because others have been selected ahead of them.

    I did alter it deanox. Should have said rested. I think I was agreeing with you.

    Does anyone seriously think TMac gives a rats what the team sheet says. He’s 42 and will likely be playing plenty more football this year.

    No but many plebs like myself give a rats about T-Mac

    'Managed' it should've been as only a recent arrival from mars would've omitted him, not having witnessed his body of work this year, which has mostly been superb.

    It's the little things that make a club great.

    Yes, like picking the better team regardless of who you have to leave out.

    TMac has been omitted. Says it on the team sheet. Preferred KPD trio is now Lever, May, Turner. Tom will not play again while those 3 are available unless we come up against a team with lots of tall forwards.

    "Rested" would imply that he will come back in next week, but I'd be very surprised if that was the case. We always have at least one tall as emergency, so that's his role for this week at least.

    • 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.
