Much now being pondered about Collingwood, now eq fav for flag.

Then there's us. Still very much in rebuild/dev mode and yet the filth have just one solitary point over us this year and lucky to boot. Roos still probably wondering where that biggest defeat came from. In the battle for the up and coming we pulled away quite convincingly.

Sometimes teams just play well against cert foes and we do against the Wobblies but I suppose the question I wish to pose is:

Are we a little further along our path than many would dare think ? Do we think we can really put a case that 2012 might arrive a year early ?

Often in the long footy year it's younger teams that start to wilt with the more mature bodied ones coming through when it matters and again were bucking that trend.

There's lots of little telltales , lots of boxes slowly getting ticked.

With Collingwood firing, how do many of us feel we would fare if we met them in the finals ? ( hypo at best I'd suggest )

    How would we ever know the answer BB-You don't want the MFC to play finals this year-To you 9th is far more Beneficial this year....Please Explain.

    I would love to play them in the finals. But it one game at a time. Just ask Richo after his attempt at asking Bailey about finals on the weekend, at 3 quater time no less.

    incapable of distinguishing between what Imight prefer...and a hypothetical...come on...youre brighter than that surely ?

    And yes I still think 9th is not only more realistic.. it is probably an outcome befitting results.

    But that aside.. are you able to adress the topic... ?? too hard ?

    I have us playing Geelong in the GF after a tremendous run that includes wins over Sydney, Brisbane, Richmond, Hawthorn, Port Adelaide, North Melbourne, Carlton, St Kilda and Collingwood and until it doesn't happen, for all intents and purposes, it could. The fact is that if we win every game from here until the end of the season, we will win the Premiership. Let's focus on Hawthorn first though, because that is our aim.

    Oh i would love the MFC to play collingwood at the MCG in this years finals, of course. What better experience for the team can there be???

    So i have answered your question, but you think it would be more beneficial to not play collingwood & finish 9th.....Please Explain as Finals are worth at least 5 games in terms of experience.

    If we do end up there .. So be it .. And you'd make best fist of it . Keep in mind well have shortest recovery being the very last game.

    The tenet is... How do we really rank given such miniscule margins against the eq flag fav?

    Are we maybe really a year ahead of where we thought we would be at 2010 end

    We rank pretty dam close to Collingwood given our 2 games against them this year-That is all you can go on.

    If we do not make it, or get knocked out in week 1, the Filth will be stoked.

    I do not believe all that Year ahead or not Business-The list changes each year-Tweaked. Some players over achieve, some under. As DB has said though-Game time into young players is vital-1-2 Finals will do that in spades if we keep winning. Finishing 9th is in no man's land. A wasteland. September action keeps the club & Sponsors firing for Bonus time. I see no reason at all for that to be a bad thing EVER.

    Carlton & Essendon are not us-their plight is their own.

    • 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.
