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.

    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!!!

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      The media focus on the fiery interaction between Max Gawn and Steven May at the end of the game was unfortunate because it took away the gloss from Melbourne’s performance in winning almost everywhere but on the scoreboard in its Kings Birthday clash with Collingwood at the MCG. It was a real battle reminiscent of the good old days when the rivalry between the two clubs was at its height and a fitting contest to celebrate the 2025 Australian of the Year, Neale Daniher and his superb work to bring the campaign to raise funds for motor neurone disease awareness to the forefront. Notwithstanding the fact that the Magpies snatched a one point victory from his old club, Daniher would be proud of the fact that his Demons fought tooth and nail to win the keenly contested game in front of 77,761 fans.

    • PREGAME: Port Adelaide

      The Demons are set to embark on a four-week road trip that takes them across the country, with two games in Adelaide and a clash on the Gold Coast, broken up by a mid-season bye. Next up is a meeting with the inconsistent Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Collingwood

      Despite effectively playing against four extra opponents, the Dees controlled much of the match. However, their inaccuracy in front of goal and inability to convert dominance in clearances and inside 50s ultimately cost them dearly, falling to a heartbreaking one-point loss on King’s Birthday.

    • GAMEDAY: Collingwood

      It's Game Day and the Demons face a monumental task as they take on the top-of-the-table Magpies in one of the biggest games on the Dees calendar: the King's Birthday Big Freeze MND match. Can the Demons defy the odds and claim a massive scalp to keep their finals hopes alive?
