How is Van Rooyen getting a game when we need to try and get games into other key forwards? Zero football IQ

Coz he is the messiah, he will NOT make it, play Jeffo and Kentfield next week please!

    The problems are all bare to see. The playing group asked to more attacking, fine that is the modern game. But with our skills we are turnover merchants. The entire team bare 1 or 2 players sometimes.

    No defensive unit on earth can hold up to teams that are effective at scores from turnovers.

    How on earth did Goodwin think we were close? Its a good thing he is no longer around as we would be digging a deeper whole that will be difficult to get out of.

    We need to goto cash converters and see what we can get for our old midfield. I here Trac has some connections.

    Because Howes needs the game time. Pretty hard task to play on a red hot Gunston who is getting silver service.

    McDonald had no real match up. He would get killed for speed by Gunston as seen with May who is quicker.

    Agree he needs game time but id argue Sharp or sparrow could’ve been subbed. I have never thought Howes should be played as a ‘key’ defender - wasn’t he drafted as a wingman/half forward?

    Jeffo is even worse - he’s a wimp also.

    I agree but we obviously wanted the run. Hawks killed us on the spread.

    Howes IMO should be a winger. He has great skills.

    Skill levels are embarrassing. Simple marks dropped, panic handballs, one arm pathetic tackles, hoofs up the line, not tracking opponents at throw-ins….

    Some of the kids atrocious - jvr, howes, sparrow, sharp absolute garbage.

    JVR is a total bust - he’s not going to make it because he’s a wimp. His dropped mark when no-one near him for 10m sums him up.

    This team needs rebuilt - it’s done.

    I remember Goodwin once saying in 2022 that he simply wasn't ready. He was a better player when he eventually debuted in 2023, than he is now.

    May now looks like an old man trying to play a young man 's game.

    Sad to see.

    What is he doing so far off his man?

    Van rooyen marked & kicked a goal. Only took to the 4th quarter

    He's a 'heat out of the contest' specialist

    Chandler doesn't do anything. He's had two bad misses today (one of them bounced in for a goal completely unpredictably)

    When the heat is on he is a [censored] player. Just scrambles like a silly person, like a dog chasing his own tail.

    Bring on the hate. I'll die on the hill with this opinion. To me the dees faithful are clueless. Very few folks switched on to what a 'good player' actually means.

    I've never been a fan, he goes missing too much. I prefer if we tried others

    You’re right, it’s just a shame sparrow and Sharp aren’t providing any run 😂

    Howes should definitely be up the ground

    Langford has been poor.

    As a 19 year old he has an excuse

    Unlike most of the rest

    • 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.
