Who's aboard the 50-50 train?

1 and 10 at the half way mark. Looking at our opponents for the 2nd half, I'm not rolling my eyes at any of them.

Considering we have improved each week (arguably) and we've played all the top 9 (apart from Adelaide) I don't think any games are out of reach.

Win the rest of the home and away games, then dominate finals and win the flag ?

Sounds good to me ;)

Not beyond the realms of possibility, but they will need to start going into games attacking the ball from the opening bounce. Those starts against the Swans and Collingwood were unforgivable.

 

But seriously, I think we should get a few more wins from the second half of the year if we continue to improve.

There is a small optimistic part of me that would like to believe that... But I am currently embedded on the front bumper grill of the reality bus. And believe me, it hurt when it hit me.

The 50-50 bus is much softer and won't hurt. In fact, it's padded and they give you these wonderful white jackets with buckles on the back.

Love the optimism guys.

I'll take realism but good on ya for posting something positive which is a change round here...

Who's aboard the 50-50 train?

Sorry, I'm already aboard the reality bus. It's going in the opposite direction.

If we don't finish the year with 7 wins I think I'd consider the year less than a success.

The Rd 1 loss to the Lions was a shocker. I reckon we'd beat them by 5 goals now at the G.

I'd think we'll beat:

GWS x 2

Suns

North

And sneak over 2 of Freo, Port, Brisbane, or Richmond.

I like that we've got a bit of mongrel in us too. It gives me more confidence.


I'd be wrapped if we go 50-50 for the last 11 games. That would mean we finish with 6-7 wins. that in itself would be a commendable effort.

I think the reality bus passed the point where we could consider this year anything but "less than a success" about 6 rounds ago.

At this point we are looking for morsels and glimmers of hope for next season.

Sorry to be a kill joy.

I thinking maybe 4 wins and some really good mids come november.

sad but true.

Great song Metallica.

The way I see it we should beat GWS x2 and GC. That gives us 4 wins. I could maybe see us pinching another one against Port,freo or STK.


GWS, Suns, Port, Freo, North for the first time in who knows how long!

Sorry, I'm already aboard the reality bus. It's going in the opposite direction.

I'm afraid I've booked on the Reality Bus too. It's very crowded and my seat is right down the back. I'll really struggle to get off.

Who cares the season is done & dusted.

2013 here we come!!!!

Some would suggest you have a firm grasp on the reality of our sitaution PaulRB.

We have had one win,

Our average losing score is 54.9 points ( ( 9 goals), we lost by 42 yesterday.

The result is a couple of more wins if we play out of our skins.

My best result is 4 for the season.

A novel idea would be maybe to "take one week at a time".

I could see us winning say 7 of the remaining games, or just a few.

The team are more and more getting their act together -- they now need to do it consistently within games and between games.

I am confident that it will gel; just not sure if it will be this year or next.

The score line would argue with you monoccular.

I would agree have improved, we are not a shambles for entire games now

GWS, Suns, Port, Freo, North for the first time in who knows how long!

Dear god please let us bear north for a change. I hate losing to that embarrassment of a 'club' more than any other, the filth included

And yes I know, people in glass houses re: embarrassment in recent times...

Not Just Recent time mate most of the last 40 years.

In that that time they have won 4 premierships, Dees nil

They have beaten us 9 times in a row since 2007.

If they are an embarrassment of a club I not sure where that leaves the dees.

  • 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.

  • 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.
