AFLW: The Run Home

Featured Replies

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! 

Carn La-Dees!!!

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!!!

Don’t care about other results, win and other results don’t really matter

This is eerie déjà vu ?

i feel dirty ...  hoping GWS will win 

 

Mark my words, this will end in heartbreak. But I'm so glad we're still in the hunt for it!

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
