AFLW: The Run Home

Not liking our chances of a GF berth:

 

Our poor % means we are effectively two games behind the leaders who have a relatively easy run home.  

I don't see the Bulldogs being toppled with their huge %'age.    A big, big win vs Lions this Friday could get us back in the running.  But then the Bulldogs await - who will do anything to keep us out of the GF.

So to end up top 2 we need to win all three games and either the Bulldogs or Lions to drop two (or we beat them by huge margins).   Or rely on either GWS or Pies to beat either or both teams.   While not impossible I just don't see that happening. 

Sadly, I think our season is over and it is very annoying that we gave it up by big losses to two average teams:  Freo and Pies.

    It's not over til it's over ... but I think it might be over.

    I guess it's a good thing we have so much experience with this situation as Dees fans?

    Lions are extremely well coached 

    Think they will take some beating from here on

    We have talent but not the team work required

    Gee @Old Bear

    Watching AFLW AND having Gough as your AV will have the resident Tories on here calling in the special branch!

    Creeping Bolshevism cannot be tolerated! ;)

    In MFC fashion we will beat the lions and dogs but lose to carlton.

    No fat lady yet. 

    Going to the game next Sunday v Bloos, first AFLW game, and I for one am bloody pumped!

    The end of the season is shaping up to a percentage battle between us and Brisbane. ....and that's assuming we win all remaining games or by some miracle Brisbane lose to Collingwood or GWS.

    Carlton is our biggest hope of bridging the gap and we have to do it in a big way, as we are 10% behind them. 

    Fingers crossed, but like the mens side in 2017 we have let slip the opportunity to determine our own fate.

    I reckon GWS could push the Lions. Might be wishful thinking though.

    So if Brisbane lose one and Melbourne win the next two we will make the GF.

    Brisbane are currently down two goals to Collingwood at 1/4 time

    This feels dirty to type but ... Go the Pies!

    That is it fndee.

    If lions lose today it is wide open for us.  We must have a big win tomorrow vs Blues to build a % buffer but even that won't be enough if we lose to bulldogs next week and Crows beat Pies.

    Nail biting games await!

    Go Pies this week and next week vs Crows!

    Dozen stubbies should fix the dirt but I do agree though.

    Huge result for us, lions down by 33 points, five mins to go, will bring their % back to just over 100, though for us, we just have to win, beat the blues and then the dogs twice and that will be the second leg of our trifecta!

    Can never trust those damn Pies - let lions get 3 junk time goals and protect their %age.  Grrrrr!!

    So, it is up to the team now - win next 2 games and we are in the GF.

    How fitting will that be: a Bulldogs vs Demons GF - the two original teams playing off.

    So do we want giants or dogs to win tonight ? Im getting confused now

    Bit close to call - a giants win will bring the dogs back to the field but give the giants a leg up and compete with us for second spot.

    But I would still go for the giants tonight (by a very narrow margin like 1 or 2 points) as they have the lions next week.

    We win tomorrow and the field is wide open.  Knock off the bulldogs next week and we shut the gate on everyone else!!!

    • AFLW PREVIEW: West Coast

      Epic battle alert.  This Sunday, Casey Fields hosts a coach’s showdown pitting the wits of the master Mick Stinear (92 games, 71.7% win rate) against his protégé Daisy Pearce (16 games, 43.8%). Still early in her coaching journey, Daisy’s record doesn’t yet reflect her impact — but she’s already the best-performed coach at West Coast.Dais’ is mythic.  Like Katniss Everdeen, everyone either wants to kiss her, kill her (sporting metaphor) or be her.  Toothers Daisy Pearce is a role model, someone admired for their heart, humility and humour.

    • 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.
