Well one of Hawks, Cats or Eagles definitely wont make the top 4

Unfortunately two definitely will.   I wish all three could miss out.

Probably prefer the Cats miss the top 4, so sick of their charity and it will mean we beat them next week.  If Eagles sneak into 4th spot they will get flogged in the first week anyway , and will likely be without Nic Nat meaning they are just making up numbers.

Hawks will [censored] Collingwood next week.

    On the other hand, imagine if somehow Hawthorn dropped to 5th and we made 8th.

    Well that would be funny. At the hawks game i was pretty vocal through the game and partic near the end when i confess i yelled Percentage! A hawks fan in front of me did a lot head shaking and when leaving  patted me on the shoulder and said (in a very condescending tone) -  might see you in the finals next year champ.

    Which was funny because even though he meant it as a sledge i had just been thinking exactly the same thing.

    It would be even funnier if we met them in the final this year. Perhaps knocking them out in the second week after elimnating the cats in the first week. In that dream scenrio he is sitting right in front of me again!

    What's up with the Subiaco surface tonight?

    Three ruckman injuring their knee on the one night is a bit coincidental.

    Frightening actually. After contested marking and landing on 1 leg on a slippery surface.  We have 1 very important big man in the ruck, and well frankly....."every time i see you falling, i get down on my knees and pray."

    You cant be serious. Probably only leigh matthews and noem smith have comparable coaching records

    I am serious, he is without doubt a good coach but the old adage is Good Players make Good Coaches, take a look at Mathews record, he won one flag with Collingwood and was eventually sacked.  He also won 3 with Brisbane when they had one of the best teams ever assembled, but what happened to him and them once they lost some of their top players. Their and his record after 2004 was terrible.

    Clarkson is a very god coach and has been revolutionary, but it is a lot easier if you have the players that can carry out your plans.  Next year he will have an ageing list and the players that have carried the team for the last 10 years or thereabouts will be on the verge of, or retired. Their top three possession winners last night, Hodge, Burgoyne and Lewis are getting on, Mitchell is mid 30's Roughy may not play again, Gibson is getting on.  Who do they have to replace them and if they can't then do you think they will still be finals contenders or will they go in to rebuilding phase.

    As I said the next three years will see just how good Clarkson is, he won't have a team of champions anymore so it may be a bit more difficult to conjure up a flag with an ordinary side.

    Not sure why you got so uppity about it, it was just an observation.

    Norm smith had a great record because he was a revolutionary coach and had the fittest side in the competition, he also had a great group of players that were able to carry out his instructions at a time when most players only played football as a means of supplementing their income. But even the great Norm Smith had a vey poor record after 1964.

    It would be great if Sydney could do us a favour and bridge our remaining percentage gap in the one game today. That way we just need to focus on getting over the line and not the pressure of belting Carlton.

    The best thing is that Adelaide, Geelong and Sydney will all want to smash their poor opposition this weekend with top spot up for grabs. Great inventive for them to destroy Norf.

    Sob. Stuck at home with a sick 6 year old. Really would have loved to go. Would have gone as far as borrowing Swans gear from a mate and giving all the Norf fans lip. Ah well.

    come on sydney thrash the roos. I know we shouldn't be relying on other teams to help us get to the finals. We have had some bad losses that shouldnt have happened but it would be also good to see nth lose again.

    Hope the Tigers beat the Saints.

    Saints can mathematically still make the finals, even though its not being taken seriously.  All they need is to win the next two by big margins (vs Tigers, Lions), and North to lose both by big margins (vs Sydney, GWS) and for us to lose one of the next two.

    If they [censored] the Tigers today by a huge margin they will be up and about ...shudder.

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
