How nice to have a competition for all finals spots only a few weeks out from the finals, so heres the thing, what will be the final 8, in order and who's your pick to go all the way?

Here's mine:

Hawthorn

Sydney

Adelaide

Collingwood

West Coast

Geelong

Essendon

North Melbourne

Hawthorn to win the lot in a tight Final against Sydney.

So you have us losing to GC and GC beating GWS? I really hope we can get over the suns, I fear the meltdown that may ensue...

 

I couldn't give a **** about the meltdown, it has already happened many times this season and it'll happen again at some stage.

I think GC have hit some solid form and we are practically a spent force for the season.

We don't have anyone the quality of Ablett, we have key outs with injuries, and we're looking more tired each week.

I really don't care because it's been plain to see for months.

What we really need is a solid preseason. The injection of quality youth will help, but we need to do our best to improve what we already have. We can't be constantly rebuilding and hoping to win the lottery with a draft pick.

GWS won't win another game.

They've solidly hit the rookie wall, and the veterans don't have it in them to play out the season either.

The losses will get bigger.

Hawthorn are playing well but they've let all the predictors down since 2008. But they seem a step ahead everyone right now.


So many games that shape this in the final few rounds. After going through the ladder predictor on the AFL website, I came up with:

Sydney

Adelaide

Hawthorn

West Coast

Collingwood

Geelong

North

Essendon

------------------

St Kilda

Freo

Carlton

Richmond

......

But, this is based on:

Rd 19

Haw v Geel - Haw

Ade v Ess - Ade

Rd 20

WCE v Geel - WCE

Ess v Nth - Nth

Sydney v Collingwood (in Syd) - Syd

Rd 21

Gee v St K - Gee

Ess v Coll - Coll

Rd 22

Syd v Haw - Syd

WCE v Coll - WCE

Rd 23

Haw v WCE - Haw

Gee v Syd - Gee

St K v Carl - St K

A few of those go the other way and things could look very different.

Adelaide are a monty for top 4, and probably top 2, with Melbourne and Brisbane away and Gold Coast, Freo and Essendon at home.

And if it panned out like that, Collingwood and Essendon in week 1 would be huge.

Hugely overrated... Collingwood will pump essendon in front of 90,000 fans.

 

I just hope Essendon miss finals, so it effectively bumps our mid-round compo pick up 1 place (since they'll take Daniher and we'd never have a chance to get him anyway).

  • 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.
