Round 23

Featured Replies

Logic...gil....:rolleyes:

 

Clubs do plenty of 6 day breaks through the year, I'm not overly concerned about this one. We have 8, 7, & 7 before that so it shouldn't be an issue for conditioning. 

I just wish (selfishly) that it was a night (or at least a twilight) game so it would be easier for me to watch. It's going to be starting at 4:40am for me! :wacko:

So we're the only top 8 team given a 6 day break between rounds 22 and 23. What a [censored] surprise. 7 day break for Collingwood.

Essendon given 8 days to recover between matches against Gold Coast and Fremantle. What a staggering coincidence.

Only other teams to get 6 day breaks are Brisbane, North Melbourne, Hawthorn and Bulldogs, all playing against each other to keep it fair. Of the teams also vying for a spot:

Sydney - 8 days

West Coast - 8 days

Essendon - 8 days

You'd think a logical person would've scheduled West Coast v Adelaide on Saturday, considering they have an 8 day v 9 day break, rather than allowing 6 v 7 for a team on the cusp. Self inflicted, sure, but the AFL never do us any favours. Once again treated like pushovers by the AFL.

what do you friggen know Sydney "golden child" swans 8 day break f me there last two months have been littered with 7 and 8 day break a massive F U too the AFL disgraceful.

Any day is a good day to beat the filth, eh BB? :D

Yes and seeing Eddie's head turn a shade of red just makes me smile.:D

Yep, thought the grand finalists were meant to get difficult draws? Since the bye they've had luxurious breaks between games: 9, 6, 7, 7, 8, 7, 7, 6, 7, 7, 8, 6, 8.

Compared to us: 6, 6, 6, 9, 6, 7, 7, 7, 8, 7, 6.

Makes sense. :rolleyes:

They don't won't sydney in the GF hey?

Cu#@s

Coming of a 6 day break is no big deal imo as we the last 3 wt the G. I would rather have this than coming off 7 days after an interstate trip from Brisbane in this case.

Sounded great until I heard it's yet another 6 day break! 

Meh fk it, we own our own destiny. I wouldn't be surprised at all if we get to rnd 23 and have to beat the Pies to make the finals but have been hit with injuries again and lose by a point... MFCSS.

Sort of like black and white ... :D

The problem could be the wet coke Adelaide game. If Adelaide are assured of a top 2 finish then they wouldn't give a stuff what happens against wet coke. We have to win our next 3.


Adelaide's draw against Collingwood might be the ultimate blessing in disguise. With one result it knocked the Pies out of finals contention (can only reach 11.5 wins) AND it stopped Adelaide from moving a game clear plus superior percentage of rivals. So basically it was a win but it's nullified their high percentage from having relevance.

With luck they'll be playing for top 1/2 in Round 23 and won't have the luxury of a loss. Adelaide winning games from here on is bad for us.

If positions in the top 4/5 remain tight, it prevents them from being non-competitive in round 23. The more losses Essendon / St Kilda / Hawthorn / Bulldogs / Sydney have, the better. It could be the difference between making finals on 12 wins or missing out.

What we most have to worry about is if collingwood announce bucks won't coach for them next year and the typical do it for the coach scenario in the last round. They will be fierce!

Change it to 10am?

I get what you are saying, but we don't travel outside of the G for the last 3 weeks of the season, so it's hard to complain, plus we have 8 days off after GWS and 7 days off the following 2 games.

Personally I'm happy with the fixture for round 23.

What I don't understand is why Round 23 is a floating fixture still, when we have the week off before finals anyway?

Don't understand this either, seems a bit archaic. Maybe to maximize the drama until the last match of the year, in case the top 8 is wide open?

Could be the case if West Coast can knock us out of the 8 by defeating Adelaide.

What a cynic, suggesting that the AFL could possibly ever be dictated to by an outside influence, in this case the TV broadcasters.  Scurrilous suggestion. :unsure:

Can't it's booked in at one of those indoor play centres 

Some of them show the footy in the table areas. Hopefully you're lucky enough to have landed with one of those venues.

  • 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.

  • 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.
