Does this thread mean we can 'take the lid off' now!?

after the last fifty odd years you have got to enjoy it while you can

 

 

Sorry for thread but for the first time in 12 years I get to discuss the 1st week of finals!

Looking likely to be a home game against hawks or Geelong. Who would we prefer. Any footy analysis out there care to share.

 

Trying to work out who I want to win tonight, swans or hawks. Hawks losing almost gives us the g. Collingwood hopefully gets done but looking at freo one would think not!

I'd love to avoid the Hawks.

The only finals teams I fear are the Hawks and the Tigers. Everyone else can bring their best and we can take it.

Geelong scare me, the only downside to winning tomorrow.

For a brief magical moment there we almost got presented with a rails run but we will now have to switch to the outside.

No one on one sit for us .... out in the death I am afraid

I honestly can see Collingwood choke on the weekend. 

Melb v Gws and Sydney v hawks all playing for a top 4 spot. 

Means we could have the tigers in a qualifying final week one.

Came so close, but Fremantle's skills are just horrible

I'm sorta happy Collingwood won.  That way we won't have the opportunity to throw away the chance tomorrow.

Was in the back of my mind too. Guess MFCSS lingers a little.

Barring any freak drawn matches in the next 24 hours, it looks like our first final in 12 years will be vs the Giants at the soulless Spotless Stadium or vs the Cats the home of football. 

85,000 on a sunny Sunday afternoon would be a fitting return to September action.  I couldn't stomach a twilight fixture in front of 10,000. 

What's everyone else's take on it?

 

Edit: ladder predictor stuff up

Posted in the non-MFC games thread, but we need to win tomorrow. If we don't, the following looks likely...

Elimination Final vs GWS at Spotless

Semi Final vs Sydney at the SCG

Prelim Final vs West Coast at Optus

 

A few results that would help would be:

a) us beating GWS (obviously), which would mean an elimination final against Geelong at the G

b) Hawthorn beating Sydney tonight would put Collingwood in our path, rather than Sydney

c) West Coast losing their first final would mean we wouldn't have to travel to Perth at any stage

Watched the first half and was pretty excited.. just seen the scores now and I'm pretty bummed! 

Hope we get the pies in the finals at some stage

Almost the Clayton's finals .... yeah we get one but never see them... mind you that could be the easiest thing for us supporters !

If GWS would it definitely be at Spotless or could it be moved to SCG?

I think the AFL recently said they would play any home finals at Spotless, even against the Swans. They played a prelim there against the doggies, so I can't see why they would move a game against us. And if they were going to move it, it would be to the Olympic Stadium (whatever that is called these days), rather than the SCG I would have thought.

Anyway, hopefully that is irrelevant if we beat them tomorrow.


Now that the top 4 dream is dead I REALLY want the cats at the G. 

Maxy to slot one from 50 after the siren for the dees to win by 5 points. 

Danger gaz and selwood all leave the field crying

Basically our potential finals opponents from 5th or 8th will be the same, except for the first round. 

 

 

If we win we'll probably get:

EF @ MCG vs Geelong

 

SF @ SCG v Sydney (if S def H tonight)

Or

SF @ MCG v Hawks (if they beat Sydney by 15) or Collingwood (if S def H) or @ Perth v WCE (if C def WCE in QF)

 

PF @ Perth v WCE  (or @ MCG v Coll/Hawks, if they win thur QF)

 

GF: @ MCG

That's right.

I hadn't actually factored in Hawthorn potentially finishing 4th via a small win. That would be a great result imo.

We would obviously have to win our first final, but I would rather play Hawthorn at the G than head to travel to Sydney to play the Swans.

Edit: or the pies at the G, I think they are a better team than Hawthorn

Edited by Forest Demon


Completely fantasy, but here is a dream run to the flag based on current positions, defeating the following teams...

Elimination Final vs Geelong 

Semi Final vs Hawthorn

Prelim Final vs Collingwood

Grand Final vs Richmond

One can dream.

From GWS perspective, regardless if they win or lose, they will be playing a final in Sydney Week 1 (either vs Swans, or vs us). 

I wonder if that will impact the way in which they approach tomorrow's game?

I genuinely don't understand how people can be so confident about us against Geelong.

I'm definitely not confident about us against anyone, but just playing out scenarios if we were to go on a run in finals.

And ultimately, if we were to go on a deep run, we wouldn't want to be travelling 2 or 3 times.

Agree Cats in September will as tough and they play the G as well as most teams.

  • 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.
