Melbourne can still make the 8!

Posted July 15, 200916 yr

All this talk of tanking and resting McLean, Moloney, Jurrah etc while putting Zomer on the ball and Valenti at full fwd should be put to bed.

We can still mathematically make the 8!

This the ladder predictor I came up with and I have us playing Essendon in week 1 of the finals - if all goes to plan

Who did St KFC lose to?

Has to be us.

Quote

July 15, 200916 yr

"Has to be us."

Feasible in these slightly improbable circumstances, since StK would be at least 3 games clear on top, with no incentive in round 22, while we'd be playing for our lives.

I remember in 1987, after16 rounds, we'd won 6 and lost 10. I suggested to my mates before the round 17 match that we could make the 5 (or was it 6 then?). They scoffed. This is a tad less likely, but would raise its head if we(on a 2 game winning streak), beat Geelong(on a 2 game losing streak ) on Sat.

Having said that, I pray that we only win one(or none) more.

Quote

July 15, 200916 yr

That would be 9 wins straight, almost garuanteed to win the premiership with that kind of form going into the finals.

But we'd only get pick 16 in this scenario!!! A shocking return for the year.

That's a bit short really. It'd be at least 100-1 about the Dees getting up against both St Kilda AND Geelong, never mind the rest.

Ooze2juice, are you factoring in a series of 200 point wins? Our percentage looked pretty good in your model.

All our wins were entered as 300 to 0. Jurrah to kick 200 goals in the remaining 7 games.

AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

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.

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.
