Finals Bound

Yesterday morning the last thing I was thinking about was finals, but it could actually happen now:

It is well known that a new coach usually starts with a win. A win this saturday against Carlton and we are back on the mix. A winnable game against WCE in Melbourne followed by 3 games we will be favourites for against Port, Gold Coast, and Richmond. All of a sudden we are back on track.

Am I crazy?

    We are Melbourne supporters. We all fantasise. I'm sure this is on the back of every supporters mind. Not many will admit it yet.

    Memories of '87.

    6 rounds out we'd just lost to the Brisbane Bears at the G.

    And then we went on a run ....

    Saw that, we're virtually going to fall in and get smacked by WCE based on that

    Or meet and Carlton and continue their streak of being knocked out in the first week.... :rolleyes:

    Poetic justice: knock Carlton out then take their coach off their hands?

    OK I think we all need to take a deep breath now.....yes I would love a win but realistically, I will give you six or seven words that are reasons we will probably not win....

    Judd, Murphy, Scotland, Gibbs, Walker, Betts, Simpson..all in top form..plus a few others.

    Yes we will play better, yes we will defend with our lives, yes we may be still be in it in the last quarter.....but we have sacked the coach, we have not suddenly acquired two or three players with the experience or skill to take the game by the scruff of the neck......

    also we will only have to stuff up a couple of stoppages and let Betts, Judd or Murphy goal side and we will find ourselves four or five goals down

    Best of luck to Todd Viney but personally I am going to expect us to have a bloody good crack, anything else will be a bonus

    We have to aim for it and not give up. Dare to dream!!!

    We have to go out to win every week. No reason why we can't. But do I think we will no way in hell but I will still be there every week!

    Lets pause, if we do pull off an unlikley win against Carlton and i emphasise IF, then and only then can we talk about finals. I think the footy club has bigger issues to deal with and making the finals this year although it would be nice should not be in the forefront of our minds. Saying that if we beat Calton this week it wont take long for this Demon supporter to get just a touch excited.

    Can anyone actually confidently predict us to beat Rich, GC and Port?

    Current form suggests the biggest danger game is actually GC

    Richmond yes - no Newman anymore

    Port yes - headless chickens have more coherence

    • 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.
