Round 17 Non MFC Games

According to the Afl (Live Ladder) we finish in 5th position on 126%. I wonder if theyve sent out a memo yet to the umps?

 

GWS have Port next week, then 3 gimmes in St Kilda, Carlton and Adelaide. I can't reiterate how much we needed Richmond to win that.

 

Kangas or Sydney is an interesting one. I'm inclined to hope Sydney win as it's in our own power to knock down the Swans. I know they'll be challenging for the top 4 and Kangas for 8th, but in the next two weeks we can ruin the chances of the Cats and Crows too. We can have 4 or 5 teams disposed of as we mount a challenge for higher up on the ladder.

We’ve had a few results in our favour so far this weekend, not only our come-from-behind win, but Geelong, Richmond and Hawthorn’s losses and seeing Essendon being pushed by the Suns.

If North can slog out a win against Sydney and West Coast bring Collingwood back to earth, our quest for Top Four may not be a pipe dream. Icing on the cake if Freo cause an upset against Port. Our destiny is in our hands but yesterday’s Third Quarter has renewed my faith that we can do it!

Sadly, some of our past players might have him on that pre Roos.  Don't want to mention names as they did their best but we consistently handballed in circles and backward to a player under pressure until we turned it over.  Painful. 

As an aside, there are so many similarities Bolton to Neeld: lauded as a teacher, talked up by their premiership winning coach, acid tongue when under pressure demoralising players (altho Bolton hides it better behind his childish smile).  Rubbish game plan.  Both clubs shambolic off field with poor player development. And they play 'bruise free' football?

It amazes me how they had a template of what not to do (MFC) yet they have copied it to a T.

Two consecutive 10 goal floggins from bottom 4 clubs and players aren't playing for him.  He will really feel the blowtorch now.  So glad it isn't us anymore.

Ahh but Foxtel advertised the game as the two best "up and coming" young teams. Marketing departments are SO over rated.

I thought Carlscum looked just perfect last night. 

Played beautifully too, i thought

Mrs cleaning lady at Carlscum put a brand new pair of very cheap jeans in with the wash and that's what came out. The AFL, as a professional organisation, should never have let them go out and play like that. Go to bed without dinner for being naughty.

Two 8-point games today could really shuffle the top 8 deck.  Pies vs WCE and North vs Syd.

Would love to see the tables turn a bit and have Richmond face an i/state First final, then a Home Semi and potentially an i/state Prelim.  Its the only way to avoid all their finals being at the G.  So barracking for WCE today. 

Then hoping Syd win and keep North a game behind us to give us a tiny amount of breathing space now that Cats and Hawks lost this week.

Kennedy and darling back for eagles, while cox a late out for the pies and can still get the eagles for $2.65

In a way I want nth to win so the swans don't go past us and they will knock the cats out of the 8 but then I don't want nth on the same points.

Definitely want west coast to win, just so we don't hear about collingwoods great winning streak and they would be equal 1st and west coast have there forward line back and with no dunn down there they need to take the opportunity. West Coast also need to show they can win away from there home ground. 


I dont like WC ... but my hatred of the filth and filth supporters and even filth sympathisers is as pure as any hate can be.

Go Eagles !!!

Not a bad game at the moment. Nic Nat down in the rooms limping badly with some sort of leg issue. Lycett holding his own though against Brodie.

Eagles do some seriously straight kicking

8 goals straight

PS: and f course as I post they kick their first behind

Definitely want a North win personally. A log jam of teams getting stuck behind us is no problem - our fate for protecting our position from them is in our own hands, all we have to do is keep winning. The teams above us coming unstuck gives us more opportunity to move up.

While that is all very positive, I suspect failing to get into the 8 is such a risk to the club that it's wiser to hope that teams below us fail than hope we sneak into the top 4.

Filth v meth coke very entertaining 

Nic Nat looks finished for the day 

They are saying knee for Nic Nat, doesn’t look good.

Either result from the first two games can help us, but what would really be awesome is Freo upsetting Port.

  • Author

Huge if Nic Nat had done his other knee. Hope the eagles can hold on. Agree it would be good if freo could upset port later on. 


Yes very sad if Nick Nat has done his knee. Still a cracking game to watch.

In terms of results hopefully Sydney can do a job on the Kangas.

Brilliant goal to Rioli. Pies looking vulnerable.

  • 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.

    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.
