    There are some, umm, interesting? comments on this thread.

    Is it possible that a 10 goal win over Fremantle has gone to our heads? :rolleyes:

    We will not beat Carlton. They are too focused right now. Top 4 in their sights. Bailey shouldnt have to do much if any 'experimentation' to ensure a loss. (I have to admit though, that hoping to lose against the likes of Sydney, Richmond and North is one thing, a difficult thing to do in itself. But hoping to lose to Carlton is going to take a whole different level of commitment. Going to have to seriously bite my tongue. Hard work but it is what it is. Just get it done.)

    And we will not beat StKilda. They will make a mess of us. They will be tuning up for finals with their only home and away hitout on the MCG. They will be up and climbing through the gears. The only good thing about this game will be that the season is finally over. That's about all.

    Exactly. Or even simpler:

    We will not beat Carlton. They are 5th for a reason.

    We will not beat StKilda. They are 1st for a reason.

    The question that interests me is whether the team listed below would be a real chance of knocking off Carlton:

    FF: Wonaemirri Jurrah Maric

    CHF: Morton Bate Petterd

    C: Davey Sylvia Green

    CHB: Bruce Garland Frawley

    FB: Rivers Warnock Bennell

    Foll: Jamar McLean Grimes

    Int: Jones Moloney Martin McDonald

    Are we that far away from being competitive with a top 4 contender with the best of the 2009 list?

    Add Watts, Blease, Strauss, Scully, Trengove in the near future . . . you get the gist.

    Exciting times.

    Couldn't agree more.

    I don't think I could physically get to the game this weekend. The idea of wanting to see Carlton fans smiling at full time makes me ill.

    Is the affect of the farewell games for wheats, whelan and robbo a concern? Suppose not even that could get us over the line against St Kilda but its a slight worry.

    No.

    That should be covered by experiementation. And St Kilda's loss to the Dons should be the pre finals spike they needed.

    I agree, Stranga, especially if St Kilda rest a few champions who may have niggles, eg Riewoldt,Hayes and Kozzi.

    I know it's highly unlikely, but another win would be such a calamity.

    Rhino thinks I'm a moron for worrying, but I can't help it.

    St.Kilda won't be resting much at all Round 22. They might want to go into the first week of the finals with as close to an unchanged line up as possible from the Round 22 line-up. They've already rested their stars.

    My only concern with the Carlton game is that they are very one dimensional. If we manage to shut down Fevola they are very capable of falling in a heap. Perhaps we should rest Jurrah and Bate as a precaution? Bring Zomer up to fill in the gap in the forward fifty and we'd be about set I think.

    I'm sure no team has thought of this plan before.

    Beleive it or not - Carlton have won games with Fevola kicking 0 goals this year.

    Their not as one dimensional as you think - given they have a midfield of goal kickers also.

    Judd, Murphy, Gibbs, Stevens, Houlihan, Simpson, etc.. will be a handful for us i'm guessing. It's not like we're playing Richmond again people.. :lol:

    I would imagine that the boys ( those left standing ) could have a red hot go and still probably fall short of a win. Thats just where we are now...next year...thats a whole new ball game ;)

    • 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.
