I know it means absolutely nothing after round 1..

But its been a bloody long time since we've been in the top 4!

Maybe it'll be two weeks in a row?

Carn the dees!

Rnd 1 teams that looked good for the whole game were Port, Hawks and Freemantle. No other winners were totally convincing. On that basis we can win a few games previously marked down as losses.

Top 4 at seasons end, No. Knocking on the door of the 8, Yes!! Go Dees.

GWS have to be considered an easier opponent that Gold Coast. We're in with a decent chance next week.

Nope. Not that it matters, but they beat them in nab challenge, and have a far better midfield and forward line, in my opinion.

And we will have Vince and Dawes back!

GWS are pretty solid favourites though which is surprising.

Carn the dees!

'absolutely nothing' is not quite right.. it means we performed better than 14 clubs in the first outing. Our opponent was not all that flash though if we're being honest

Next week: A real chance to get back-to-back wins for the first time since r13/14, 2011

When was the last time we were inside the 8 at the end of a round ? I'd be guessing about round 5-6 2011 ?

We were last in the top 4 in Round 21, 2006, after beating North by 50 points at the G (our most recent win against them) and drawing with Geelong in Geelong (our most recent non-loss to Geelong).

We then got belted by Adelaide in Adelaide (when Bartram got injured IIRC?) to slip out of the top 4, putting us 7th and in the Elimination Final against St Kilda.

top 8 I dunno

Enjoy the good times, but remember the first 6 rounds mean Jack Shite.

are the wins worth less than 4 premiership points or something

With a win next week we will be in the 8 for a while to come. This will be good for the mindset of the players and club, not to mention the long suffering supporters. When players see the team in the 8 week after week this can only be a good thing.

We should never consider any opponent easy. We have no right to that mindset.

Go up to Canberra, secure 4 points, nobody get reported & come home.

he didn't say that at all, he said we're in with a decent chance

he didn't say that at all, he said we're in with a decent chance

he also said GW$ should be an easier opponent than the $un$

Start thinking like that and we get rolled.

It's not at the MCG. Makes it a tougher assignment

We must erase the soft MFC underbelly

Stop thinking the job is done.

So many times this club has lost the "easy" games in the past

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
