    It's all set up perfectly for us, as long as we can get the 3 wins..... The remaining Norf opponents will still be relying on a good percentage to pick up their best final ladder position. They'll both be trying to towel the Roos up big time.

    as I have been saying in other posts that essendon and the west coast losses will come back to bite us. But yes you wouldn't have wanted to play Hawthorn this week, I think Clarko would have got them going. 

    But it would be nice to see the saints beat sydney just to put the extra pressure on nth and be only 1 game behind. Obviously I'd love to see us sneak in but it would be funny to see nth drop out whoever replaces them. Brad looked a shattered man on the news tonight. 

     Wow can't believe brisbane beat carlton. But happy for Leppa, not sure it will save him though.

    Don't want St Kilda to win. They've got Richmond and Brisbane to play and are a game clear of us so they'd make the 8 then regardless if we won all 3 remaining games. We need Saints and North to lose and we need to win it all!

    Geary a late out helps.

    interesting listening to howe post-match on abc - he still hankers to play forward.

     

    he's a natural defender, i don't know why he's got such a bee in his bonnet around playing closer to goal.

    Glory hunter.

    So the Hawks beat Roo's by 39, so is the difference we now need to make now approximately 100 points?

    roughly and over 5 matches

    Yep, exactly.

    North's percentage dropped from 113 to 108.5. Leaving the gap to us (102.5) at just 6 percentage points. So, for shorthand, a neat 100 points worth of for/against difference will do the job.

    With 2 more losses for them and 3 wins for us, average margins of just 20 points per game will sort out percentage.

    Basically, it's just the wins to think about now.

    Amazing finish.

    Luke Shuey should be embarrassed by his ducking. 

    Amazing finish to the Eagles GWS game. NikNat snapped a goal for them to win it in the siren...

  • Quote

    That was an incredible finish to the West Coast game. Never thought in a million years West Coast could get up with such little time left after GWS got that goal.

    Yet I had a feeling, with 8 seconds left, West Coast would score an incredible goal from that throw in. Fantastic to see the Franchise Concessions Giants lose.

    Hell of a finish to that game. Makes me wish even more that we had taken our opportunities against the Eagles over there a few weeks ago.

    Sensational coverage by Fox Footy. We get every stupid stat and theory rammed down our throat every game. Today, Nic Nat kicks a goal from the ruck, on the siren, to win the game and they don't show it again, but interview him and then leave the game.

    Fantastic TV. They should do the olympics and stop the coverage, when each event is at the half way mark.

  • Quote

    that last quarter was almost 40 minutes. So should that wc palyer be suspened for that sling tackle? Isn't that why the rule was bought in to stop a concussion. That was a sling tackle for sure. 

    Anyway everyone will rave about Nic Nat and his game winning performance. I don't care. Give me Maxy anyday.

    Thought the same thing RL. Such a fantastic finish to the game and it was almost a non-event. Really disappointing coverage.

    It was really odd - but I think because the game went so far over in terms of time (40 minute quarter) they had no time to recap before the Swans game.

    It probably screwed their schedule because of the long last quarter, bit out of Fox's control.

    Tonight unfortunately St Kilda are taking it up to Sydney. I don't rate them at all but they will have earned their spot in the finals over us if they can win the next 3 games against all odds.

    • 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.
