Need the Tigers to take it up to the cats and have a nice rough game. Perhaps with a few 2 week suspensions.

    Yep, upset from the Tigers would be brilliant today. The less Geelong have to play for in round 23, the better our chances.

    According to Dinny from AFL HQ, the bummers have sacrificed bottom spot for their integrity, i always knew they (never) had it in them.

    We want Geelong to win today don't we? Just to give the best chance of them having locked up a top 4 spot pre our game?

    And some niggles to players not worth risking in final round

    Has anyone looked carefully into this? I don't know who to barrack for (other than the MRP).

    1 HAW 16 4 122.4 64
    2 SYD 15 5 146.9 60
    3 ADEL 14 5 141.2 56
    4 GWS 14 6 137.6 56
    5 GEEL 14 5 137.1 56
    6 WCE 14 6 129.2 56
    7 WB 14 6 115.3 56

    It's confusing at the top right now, so many variables. I do know GWS and WB have Freo/Ess next week, so they will almost certainly reach 60pts and bump themselves into top 4 (before percentage). Adelaide are yet to play Freo this afternoon, which could rocket them into 2nd place if they have a huge win.

    Lots of factors to play out here.

    EDIT: Geelong have Brisbane next week, continuing the theme of top 8 teams needing big wins having the easiest opposition possible in round 22.

    Geelong's midfield shows you how important depth is. Outside of Dangerfield and Selwood they have nothing in there but downhill skiers.

    It would be the ultimate load of [censored] if GWS tanked r23 because their game was inconsequential, after we won our biggest game of the season v Geelong so we need them playing for top 4.

    Edit: Ok that's not going to happen, Dogs and Eagles are pressing for 4 so GWS have to put their foot down on the Kangas.

    Geelong struggling. Hope they get frustrated and land a few.

    Tried the ladder predictor and I'm expecting that the final round will start with 4 teams tied on 60 points, all fighting to get that final spot in the top 4.

    Depending on various results, if Geelong lose today and win against Brisbane next week, they can still finish anywhere between 3rd and 7th in round 23.

    If nothing else, they've been exposed multiple times this year (and by us last year) for having a soft underbelly once you get past Selwood and Dangerfield.

    I'd like to see the Cats go into free fall and collapse against us.

    With their form against the lower sides of the ladder, they don't deserve top 4 or even a home final. Would be terrific to send them to an away final v Eagles. We could also sneak into the 8 and play the DOGS who could finish 5th.

    Last time we talked like this was under Bailey in his second season. About round 13/14. Then we promptly flubbed it with some soft losses and that was that. One of them was to Carlton.

    I look forward to us hammering the Blues and then spending an entire week discussing all the beautiful possibilities of PLAYING FINALS. (Come on Sydney, do your part too.)

    Haven't looked at any of the permutations but is it possible we could play Geel in the last round and again in an elim final?

    Ladder predictor has the answers. My take is that Richmond winning today could be huge in ensuring the Dogs make 5th. If Geelong beat Richmond then it might push GWS down to 5th depending on how much Geel can beat Brisbane and if its more than GWS can beat Freo. Edited

    Would love to play the Dogs though Etihad is an issue.

    Over the past decade I've developed a hatred of Geelong. Scott and Joel Selwood relentlessly ducking today reaffirms why I cannot stand them. Go Tiges.

  • Quote

    Remember what the Blues did to us late last year. That is what happens when you take a side too easily. We do that against weaker sides. We only beat GC 2 weeks ago by a point and Bombers beat them today and us early in the season. I hope all talk in the club is about Carlton only.

    The Tigers are making it hard for us. They are nearly double the Cats score,   Halfway through the Third Quarter. That will make Geelong hungry to put us away in the final round so as to get a second chance.

    Maybe the Cats are not that good. 

    Fear No One....

    We will be 1.50 to make the 8 now...

    Um, did Selwood just strike someone? That's massive. Give him the fortnight off.

    • 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.
