I back us to beat Richmond, Gold Coast and Port. But 10.5 wins will not be enough.

To make finals we'll have to beat one of Geelong, Carlton, Hawthorn and Wet Toast. Which is fair enough, because if you lose to all 4 finals teams you probably don't deserve to be in the finals.

Some really good tests for us in the next 4 weeks. really great chance to see whether we've taken another step up from last season

    Big Test for the coach and all the assistants as well. Our Finals series really starts today.

    In order for us to make the finals, if that is indeed the aim in what is still a development year for the club, we need to win games not only against teams we're expected to beat but also to win against at least one of the top four aspirants we're due to play in the four week block after the Port Adelaide game. I don't believe that under our current set up we can win any of those games but I reckon we should have a crack at it by tweaking the makeup of the team. I don't think this will happen for Saturday night's game in the tropics but I can see possibilities for an attack on Hawthorn should we win against Port.

    I would agree with all this and add that if a fit and firing Davey can make is way back into the side and break through some presses with his speed and skill then that would make a big difference.

    It's pretty simple to me. We should win the last three. Richmond are in a hole, Gold Coast are Gold Coast, and Port are rubbish and it's no long at AAMI.

    That puts us on 10.5. With results going our way that could in fact be enough. It most likely won't, however (I don't think Fremantle beating Sydney helps us much either). So we'd most likely need another win. Which means we have to win one of the four matches coming up.

    If we do that, and we do our job in winning the last three, we may well find ourselves in the finals.

    Hi everyone first post! I've been looking forward to this stretch of the next 4 games for a while now. Facing off against teams 2nd-5th is a big test for the playing group and will give us a good idea of where we're at. Barring the draw against sydney i think our wins this year have come against poor/or underperforming teams, it will be interesting to see how our game stands up against 4 of the best defensive units in the comp. This next stetch of games is more important than beating richmond/gc/port because its a chance to build a lot of confidence and resilience in the playing group if we can remain competitive. While 10.5 wins could possibly get us into the finals, I'd like to see us win at least 1 of the next 4 games. I'd rather us earn a spot in the 8, or not make it at all

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
