Jeebers if The MFC doesn't come out next week breathing ABSOLUTE fire at Essendrug after what happened last year then Goodwin and all the players may as well walk away

    I think we're overrated at times, and call me crazy... but we're a reasonable chance at being 5-1 out of those 6 games.

    Win 4 lose 2. Maybe being overly optimistic. Crows and North worry me the most.

    The round 9 game could be interesting against North as we are 2 sides that snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

    I think eventually we will start converting the opportunities we create and if we do that sooner rather than later we have no reason to fear any team, even without gawn. 

    I agree Ab, its a good problem to have. In years gone by we couldnt get it past half forward.

    Crows ... loss

    the rest 50-50 so two or three wins .... of course we could luck in and win all 5 but MFC doesn't have that kind of luck

    Could TWSNBN be running that hard at the end of 4 quarters after only four clear days break, oh, that's right, they have WC's old coach.

    Did notice the boys are looking bigger every week. Between cross eyed umpires, that can't throw straight from the boundary line and half the bleeding hearts club from the Whiney Hill Corridor it's a big ask for any opposition for the next five years until they "get back on their feet".

    Currently 2-3.  If we can split the difference and turn at 5-6 we will still be mid-table, and making our own chances.  We are not a top 4 side, otherwise we would 5-0 or 4-1.  We are a developing side and will start to put this promising stuff together at some point.  ATM we are learning the system.  WHen we play it for 4 quarters, it will be a thing of beauty.  But not yet... so 3-3 from the next 6 would be my call.  Better than that - given our injuries and our learning curve - will be a bonus.

    I agree & reckon we'll see improvement in the second half. I'm expecting a few poor weeks (Essendrug is a win) but late season development a strong possibility.

    Huge 5 weeks coming up before the bye. All, bar the Adelaide game, we would normally be more than a good chance to win, but without a ruck it is going to be very difficult.

    If we go into the bye at 5-5, I think we are well placed for finals with Gawn not far off coming back from injury.

    That would mean winning 3 of Essendon, Hawthorn, North and Gold Coast.

     

    .......and Spencer hopefully even sooner.

    We are in real trouble without a ruckman, more because of how it impacts our structure. If we can maintain our structure by maybe having Pederson or King ruck the majority of the game, and we stop losing good players to injuries (especially during games), we are a chance to win most of these.

    We will get smashed in Adelaide, and I hope this doesn't destroy our confidence. 

    I think that is pivotal.

    In the weeks sans Hogan Watts was called upon to do more ruck work than he should have, leaving an underdone (and in has last game injured) Weideman as the kay forward, far from ideal structurally.

    That is why Pedersen (or even Keilty,  maybe) to take the lion's share of ruck work, hoping to contest and maybe nearly break even, would allow JW4 and Hogan to work as a team up forward.

    hope your right....he looked awesome against the pies and that was in the wet.   And we dont have a ruckman to drop back on him.

    I always found it difficult to place us in the top eight at the start of the year. Personally, I think the likes of Petracca, Brayshaw, Salem, Hunt, Stretch, Oliver and Hogan are all another 20-30 games away from really hitting their stride and playing consistent football week in, week out. 

    Saying that, I still think that a 4-2 result over the next four weeks is highly achievable. On paper, I believe we should beat Hawthorn, North, Gold Coast and Collingwood. As mentioned in another post, Essendon is about a 50/50 game and we'll be lucky to stay in reaching distance against the Crows in Adelaide. 

    That would give us a 6-5 result going into the bye. I wouldn't say I'm optimistic about our chances this year, but anything is possible from there.

    It seems that we can only get ourselves up properly against a serious challenger or for a big-time match. The worst we've played this year is against Carlton and Freo. In that sense, we're at risk of going 2-4. Not because we're crap, but because every one else is.

    • 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.

      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.
