I can sense a lack of gregariousness round here. 

Halfway through the 3rd quarter. Any thoughts?

    This is turning into a bit of a soul-crushing loss for the Crows tonight coming into the finals.

    Big loss. Crows will be barracking for us tomorrow.

    Still don't think West Coast can win it, and it raises questions about Adelaide.

    Yeah I was thinking Adelaide had a real crack at it this year but to drop against WC (who are coming good at the right time) at home is very costly.

    Just had a look at the ladder predictor, I didn't realise that if we caused a massive upset over the weekend Geelong can go as low as 5th. In fact if we do we then potentially means North might be better served losing to GWS as they would get a final in Melbourne as opposed to traveling to Adelaide (uh oh, tanking talk!). 

    I would get enormous pleasure out of us stuffing up the cats finals! (Can't see it happening though)

    That was one of the best performances by any team of the year. Clinical and almost perfect in execution, aside from some shots they missed in the 2nd half they should have won by 50+. Adelaide will have a bye to gather again which may be fortunate for them. Eagles are in it and can definitely win it if they continue playing like that.

     

    Of Note: We can prevent Geelong from making top 2. We also may decide whether Hawthorn play Geel or GWS at the MCG If Kangas & Coll can't beat them. I'd like to see GWS destroy the Hawks at the G personally. Geelong are boring.

    Oh nice, if Hawthorn, GWS lose and Dogs win, Hawthorn v GWS could be 6v7

    It'll be a rare occasion, but I would love it if the Pies won this week. Would pretty much mean the Hawks would finish out of the top 4!

    I certainly don't think it'll happen, but wouldn't it be nice!

    I noticed the stat at the start that said West Coast had nearly 2700 games experience in the 22 that played tonight.

    At the start of the season, we had 2268 for our whole list.

    At 3/4 time Ess lead Blues that gives them a % of 61.5.  Lions on a % of 61.5

    If that continues and Lions lose to StK, Lions get the #1 Draft pick (and 1st pick in the PSD). 

    If Ess were wanting to walk O'Meara or another player into the PSD they won't be able to.

    I wonder how Worsfold is going to tank the game now!

    Yes, Ess tried so hard to tank it!  But Blues kicked so badly in final quarter! 

    Final Qtr Score:

    Ess:  1. 2. 8

    Blues:  4. 7. 31

    Final Ess % 61.0

    As it is, Lions lose to the Saints tomorrow and its hello #1 draft pick. 

    Go Saints!!

    not necessarily. as lions % is 61.5% they have to lose by more than 38.5% to drop their %

    they could easily lose and their % go up

    This would put more pressure on O'Meara now that his only 'walk' option is to go to Brisbane? Karma?

    True, can you save me the arithmetic and tell me 38.5% converts to in points, roughly?

    depends. if lions lose 61 to 100 basically no change. 

    to drop their % by .5% over 22 games they need to lose by an extra 11 points

    so if Aints kick 100 they need to kick about 50 (i.e. 61 -11 = 50)......lets say a loss of about 51-55 to be safe

    In the vicinity of 40+ I'd assume.

    That's just what they need to lose by to drop percentage - but it doesn't factor in how much they need to lose by to drop the necessary .5 % Which, according to the ladder predictor,  is closer to the 10 goal range (obviously changing depending on what Brisbane score).

  • Quote

    Bombers percentage is 60.993.

    If Brisbane score 50 and St Kilda score 104, Brisbane's percentage will be 60.994. So if Brisbane score 50, St Kilda need to score 105+.

    If Brisbane score 60, St Kilda need 121+.

    if Brisbane score 70, St Kilda need 138+.

    • 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.
