Thoughts on Sydney?

Sitting on 11 wins and play ESS (A) COLL (H) MELB (A) GWS(A) HAW (H)

I think their run is tough and they're a risk of falling out of 8

Oh hell. Oh hell. My brain just broke.

I looked across some more fixtures and have to say it -  There is a real possibility that at the end of the season there could be 6 teams on 14 wins, stretching from 3rd to 8th. A slim chance, but a chance.

It is conceivable, just barely conceivable, than in round 23, the Demons and Giants will be playing for a top-4 spot for the winner and 9th for the loser.

Now that it has been shown possible, I feel it is inevitable.

so we win 4 out of 5....as the great man Kerrigan said..... "Tell em they're dreaming"

Win against Adelaide and we will make it. 

Lose against them and we are very long odds

 

so like I know the crows are in form etc and at their shithole but like we did kinda beat them by 2934823984 points about 8 weeks ago. Like surely we are a chance guys - I think we will win Adelaide / GC and one of the other games not sure which hopefully Sydney but its all still doable - I rate the Adelaide game a better chance than SYD / GWS / WC for sure

Lets have a friendly wager. Winner chooses loser's avatar until the eve of round one next year.

Good bet for you given your confidence 

haha deal. i'll cyber shake to that binman :)

i obviously hope i'm wrong but i'm quite confident. just like i was with watts saying that pick 31 would be better and watts will be dropped mid season. could a person be any more correct on a given issue? lol

Haha, excellent wager!

As for trying to predict the run home, I reckon anyone who started predicting this just two weeks ago has already been blown out of the water.

@Little Goffy Your brain will break further if you ponder on the fact that if we go into that game 2/4 and GWS are 4/4, then they will probably be locked in 4th and will undoubtedly rest/play bruise free footy and we'll probably finish 6th or so with a win. I kind of think that is a safer option than battling for top 4 and missing out on finals if we lose which is absurd.

How I reckon the WC game will play out:

                            Melb        WC

Inside 50s          85            35

Free kicks           8             27

Goals kicked      12           18

Spot on!

Can someone please tell me when the Round 23 fixture is finalised?

There's been a push for whoever's the higher finisher to have 'earnt' a home final.

..and that explains why the White Brethren have done so much to influence game outcomes this year ...

Amazingly accurate, just calculated the same result : WC 108pts, MELB 70pts.

My crystal ball then enabled me to analyse the number of queries raised on the umpiring errors. No. of Queries: Nil.

Next week, probably early.

AFL website are guessing we've got the Saturday arvo timeslot.

But given we're coming back from Perth, surely the league would give us Sunday to enjoy the extra day's break??

We will beat suns and maybe swans, lose the rest. No finals.

The Swans are likely to beat ess...also a good show to take care of the pies...esp if pies have a hard game against toiges

It's kinda the butterfly effect...they'll be on a roll looking to cement a top 4 possie...when they meet.....us.

The Swans I sense is our most 'dangerous ' game after the Crows. If we sink in the pea soup tomorrow I'm not game to look too far ahead anymore.

And there really is a tooth fairy.

Assuming neither GWS nor Melbourne bomb out in the next few weeks, surely GWS V Melbourne will be the final game of the home and away season. It could completely reshape the final 8 and would have the fans of as many as five or six clubs all watching riveted.

I know it’s probably an obvious thing to say but I really feel like we are one big win away from this team kicking into the next gear. And I don’t mean big win in terms of margin against a lower team I mean getting a win against a contender that will give the players the confidence in themselves and each other. 

I’ve still become pragmatic about this season (I guess it’s MFCSS) but it does still keep that little spark in my heart alive!

Agreed. But it will take a huge effort to win THAT game

Do they have strength to do it this year???

I actually think they’ve got that and more inside them, it’s all mental barriers now. Whether they can break through those barriers this year remains to be seen. I think they are haunted by past demons (no pun intended) dating back to times they weren’t even alive. Because they shoulder the hopes and dreams of a club thats been struggling in the wilderness for so long and laughed at by the competition (and continues to be laughed at) they have to overcome those issues as well as their own. 

But Richmond did it last year, and I honestly feel like we can do it this year (though not to their achievements).

Agree and there’s a few of those coming up, WCE, SYD and GWS.

Can you please inform me of tonight's lotto numbers? I need to know which ones NOT to play...

I'd love to win tonight to both strengthen our chances, and also significantly dent a "resurging" Adelaide's chances. Sydney is absolutely gifting us a home final, if we'd beaten St Kilda and Geelong like we should have we'd be a lock for at least 6th.

The problem with Adelaide, Sydney and WC is their tall forwards. I'd much rather be playing Richmond, Collingwood and Port again in these final 5 weeks because we match up better with them with both Hibberd and Lever out, and I'd fancy our chances more against them than the aforementioned. Given our outs, we are coming up against the worst possible teams. Just our luck.

    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.
