Honestly, we have the best shot at the Filth...although that's at full strength. With our injuries, I'd say the Blues.

We don't match up well against the Bombers at all.

    And after you've answered this question, the next question is:

    Which of the following am I most likely to pick up when I go out on Saturday night?

    1) Megan Fox

    2) Miranda Kerr

    3) Jennifer Hawkins?

    Remember, you're not allowed to answer "none of them".

    Megan Fox, assuming she's the 62 year old one from Scoresby.

    You have to have had respect to "regain" it...

    Excellent point Stuie. Sadly

    And Nasher....i would've preferred Megan Gale in there for Jen Hawkins. A bit to "up there somewhere looking down" for my liking Jen. Any chance you can add Megan please!? :wub:

    With several family and friends being ardent supporters of our next two opponents, here's what I can offer from having watched most of their games this year and several last year, and been involved in a lot of conversation about them.

    - Carlton without Judd and/or Warnock would be a different proposition to full strength Carlton. Despite the fact that their depth has improved, and the very good performances from Murphy this year, Judd is still their best player by an astonishing margin. Don't doubt it for a moment, Carlton have three wins this season which were driven by the impossible influence of Judd at critical times. If he is at full fitness, we can probably just accept that one is just about demonstrating intensity and not embarassing ourselves. If he isn't making a full contribution we can match their advantage in the midfield drops away considerably. No/unfit Warnock takes it down another notch. It would still take a top effort, but it isn't impossible.

    Bombers are genuinely shaky - the immense effort which has made them so strong for the early part of the season was clearly taking its toll, mentally and physically. How they react to the bye will shape their season. Over time their game plan has degenerated into ultra-predictable straight-line stuff, which equals pick-off party time for Jared Rivers. I rate that game 50/50 with Watson and Hurley out. Possibly their two most structurally important players, with all respect to Fletcher. If we turn up to that one with one of our 'better intensity' efforts, we'll get 'em.

    Collingwood, nah, that'd be ridiculous wouldn't it? :)

    I'd say all 3, before waking in a warm sweat.

    Is that Jack Watts?

    no, Jack Watts played an excellent game on Saturday and at no stage recently has he showed any sign of being the soft player some say he is. With his brains, cleanliness/skill, athleticism and versatility looks highly probable to become an excellent player.

    but the blubbering little babies in this thread didn't notice that because we didn't win the game

    As you are a recently reformed blathering baby - why do you think that is?

    If you lose, there is no positive. Far too simple a view.

    I am absolutely positive we will beat the Bombers. They are massive pretenders and will not make the 8. There, said it.

  • Quote

    You can actually build a case for all three.

    Most teams have struggled after the bye, so Essendon might be there for the taking, especially if Watson and Hurley are still out.

    If Judd is missing for Carlton it will help Melbournes cause.

    As badly as Melbourne seem to match up against Essendon, the Dees go extremly well against the Pies. Collingwood looked disinterested at times yesterday and are far from unstoppable.

    I agree that if you have struggled against the likes of North Melbourne and St kilda in recent weeks, winning any of your next 3 are unlikely, but football always throws up some upsets along the way.

    It might seem it, but it wasn't that long ago that you beat Adelaide by 96 points. A return to the MCG might be the tonic.

    I reckon Megan Fox. Americans birds love aussie accents.

    There is more chance that I will offer to work free to my boss for the remainder of my career than Melbourne winning any of these games. It's going to get ugly.

    I have to agree.

    At least that's something... with my luck it would be Dougie himself in drag.

    Of the three games, the only one I can see us having a real crack at would be the QB clash... and that is only if Scully and Jamar were to be back on the track. This however is highly unlikely as Scully will no doubt need a stint at Casey (assuming he really does have just 2 weeks on the injury list) to regain match fitness as will Jamar who would need to return at the more optimistic end of his 3 to 5 week estimate, if he were to even play at Casey.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
