R14-23: The Run Home

Featured Replies

Freo is looking less daunting after their past few games......

 

I'm just glad we are not talking draft picks! the last few years it has been the only topic of conversation this time of year.

The only game that isn't winnable imo is Freo.

In NT, the Eagles game could go either way but WC deserve to be outright favourites.

We have a super easy draw to close out the year.

We could go anywhere between 9-1 and 1-9.

We're 2 games out of the finals and still a legitimate chance to make the top 8 with this draw. If we can win 8 of the next 10, we'll make the 8.

Tough, I know, but possible. Imagine if we'd beaten the Saints and Pies? We'd be equal 8th (but out on %) with a very good chance of slipping in.

That's when they were whacked out of their gourd and we had Neeld!

If you look at the last 3 ladders you'll find that 12 wins probably won't get it done, not with our percentage

We'd need to win 9 out of 10 which will not happen

Even 8 is crazy

Agree C&B.

Bulldogs and Nth are on 6 wins and have an easier run home than we do, not to mention a healthier %age.

Easier in the sense that they play only 2 top 8 teams.

We are on 4 wins and play 4 of top 8 teams.

I know that isn't the only criteria but we need to catch up 2 games + %age vs those teams ie win 3 more games than them.

Also, Port and Geelong are lurking.

We won't make the 8 in 2015!

But 2016 is a whole different story!!

So last week you'd given up and now we're a legitimate chance to make finals? :P

Oh really? I thought 12 was the magic number.....bum.

The first few pages of the Game Day thread feels like another dimension to the one we are currently 'logged on' to.

There are lessons both ways about how things can change in a hurry but my main point would be calm down.

Calm down about how bad we were going after those 41 secs, and calm down about making finals after being 4 and 8...


Mid season review: http://www.melbournefc.com.au/news/2015-06-25/midseason-reviews-haw-to-wb-inc-melb is a fair summary.

Some key points:

Story of the Season: Angus Brayshaw - shapes as a mid-field star! Say no more!

Poor old Jesse Hogan

Misses one game after kicking 5, and everyone is over him.

Brayshaw is amazing and I love him endlessly, but Hogan is the revelation of the decade for a young KPF!

hmmm, just saw this thread and wondered why a thread on star wars' robots wasn't in the general board

pound for pound they are about equal IMO, but the fact that a KPF is about 5 times rarer than a gun midfielder gives the Hulk the value

as good as Angus is, Jesse is in a whole different league, he is someone we can build our team around, Angus i think will be a genuine A grader but a key power forward with Jesse's potential doesn't come along all that often

comes around about 5 times less often, as I said :D


If our bottom players do their role like they did against the Cats for the rest of the season,we will continue to win games.When they play well our top players are free to play their natural game instead of having to carry the rest of the team.

I think in these situations our better players actually lift.

  • 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.
