I have noticed that Isaac Weetra and Heath Neville are the only players on the list now yet to make there debuts.

Do you think that MFC might put one or more rookies on the list and put one or two players on the long term injury list just to see what any rookies have in them for next year?

Your thoughts. :)

    To be honest I think that's it for this season... the next player to debut will be one of our high draft picks next season...

    So do you think that the 2 boys plus the rookies are finished

    IMO there's no point upgrading rookie players for the sake of it. We already have a heap of young kids playing.

    Weetra only came to the Club this year - he's nowhere near finished. Neville is probably gone as he's struggled to get a gig for Sandringham 1sts let alone MFC.

    I wouldn't write anyone off, but i too doubt they will get their first game.

    Garland might come back for game 2.

    Players like Neaves and Bode are 2nd year rookies, so they will have to be upgraded or delisted at years end. So its not that silly a question to be asking. Bode will most likely be delisted, but it will be interesting to see what happens with Neaves.

    I didn't say and don't think it was a silly question. I just don't think any rookies should be promoted to the senior list atm.

    That's true. However the circumstances are probably a bit different - Newton came to the Club as a bottom-age draftee and was kicking some bags in the reserves. He also had stiffer competition to get into the 1s (Sautner and the like).

    Difference is Newton is a prospect KPP, Neville is a midfielder where it's a lot easier to get a game.

    i agree... unless we look at drafting another ruckman i think we will try and trade Jamar to a club where he will get a game, and elevate neaves to the senior list... bode is done i think...

    Hayes should be kept on...he's a class above Weetra and Neville....Neville in particular has struggled this year...Bode has done ok..be intersting to see if he's kept on....but I'd definitley perservere with Hayes

    I've been surprised by Weetra. He had a few good raps in the preseason but doesn't seem to have found his feet in the Sandy 2's. Hayes is already ahead of him.

    Weetra needs time. He's had injuries during the season that haven't allowed him to show what he can do. There still has to be issues with Hayes' attitude

    Looks like Bode has been promoted, quietly, and may get a gig soon.

    I would also give Weetra at least a couple of games before this dismal excuse for a season ends, even though he is still in Sandringham 2nds.

    I am a big fan of Hayes and I think the club needs to keep him, he has been playing not bad recently.

    Good to see Newton getting some games under his belt.

    I have to admit I was a bit worried about Newton getting delisted at the end of the year because I thought they might not have given him a game, I am so glad they are playing him now he is going to be a gun.

    • 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.
