    We will [censored] Gold Coast the week after and still be in a good position with 3 games left.

    Melbourne vs Sydney in Round 21 is going to be huge, and I reckon the Dees will smash them.

    We will play finals with 12 wins if the following happens due to our excellent percentage. None of these results are outrageous either:

    ADELAIDE (12 wins):

    Melbourne  W

    Port   L

    GWS  L

    North  W

    Carlt  W

    ESSENDON (12 wins)

    Sydney  W

    Hawks  W

    St Kilda  W

    Richmond  L

    Port   L

    HAWTHORN (12  wins)

    Freo  W

    Essendon  L

    Geelong   L

    St Kilda  W

    Sydney   L

    NORTH MELB (12 Wins)

    West Coast  L

    Brisbane   W

    WB  W

    Adelaide  L

    St Kilda  W

    Two much less likely outcomes, but worth considering, are Port and Sydney only getting to 12 wins.

    Port has the Dogs (Ballarat), Adelaide, West Coast, Collingwood (MCG), Essendon. Is it possible for them to only go 1-4 through that (i.e. beat the Dogs but lose the last four, or even better get upset by the Dogs and then still need to find a win in that last month)?

    Sydney has Essendon (away), Collingwood (home), us, GWS (away), Hawthorn (home). Will they do better than 1-4 from that lot, given their struggles at the SCG and the improved form of Essendon?

    These two sides' struggles really just make our two Geelong losses sting because with those, we'd be in pole position to finish in the top 4.

    I’m just mad that we find ourselves in this position. Again. 

    The next 5 weeks are going to be excruciating. I do not want round 23 to be do or die again. My mental health could not take it!

    Watch us beat Adelaide then let it all unravel and we lose to GC

    The GC game is too early for it to unravel and really hurt.

    Watch us go into the GWS game needing a win to make finals...

    While 12 might get you in, would need to be very very lucky. We aren’t!

    We are going to need 13 wins plus our strong percentage!

    We have to win those 3 games. It's looking more unlikely by the week that we will beat GWS especially when they get Cameron back.

    I will be happy with sneaking into 8th spot.  A fresh Jack Viney back for the Elimination final.

    Anyone who says theres no point sneaking into the 8 is a fool.   Anything can happen in the finals, just look at the 2016 Doggies. And the experience of the build up to the game would be invaluable for our developing squad.

    Anything can happen if you win 15 games (16 if you count tanking in r23 v Freo) in the regular season.

    Though with the Doggy analogy, realistically I think sneaking in will hold us in good stead for the following year like it may have done for them.

    • 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.

    • 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.
