Stuff the afl, how dare they prioritise broadcasters so blatantly and leave us with a 5 day break to deal with

I actually thought you were meaning the following week, when if we get through the first week, we will play the loser of Hawks/Tigers who will then have the extra day break having played the night before us.

 

Thursday night would be very hard. But I would play finals on the moon on Monday at 3pm. It’s finals. Suck it up!

win on Friday and barrack like hell for Collingwood on the Saturday ... sounds like a plan.

Funnily enough I fear Geelong most (MFCSS perhaps) but get past them and who knows.

Trust that the coaching brains trust have it worked out as I'm sure the Geelong coaches will have a plan for Oliver and Gawn.

Why barrack for Collingwood? Surely we’d fancy ourselves in a prelim against West Coast in Perth - we’ve already done the job once. 

To be honest though I’m actually beastly careless about any of the other results. They’re all tough opponents, so the relief and excitement over any win we get, or the disappointment of a loss, will pretty much swamp any other feelings or thoughts.

Gee it’s great in theory but I need Collingwood out of the finals as quickly as possible.

The lid is off here.

Just had a coffee bought to me in bed (Happy Fathers Day to all Demonlanders) and was trying to decide after we win the Cup this year if we would be a Western Bulldogs one hit wonder. For some reason I believe this group is set for a long term dynasty and we are more than likely to go back to back

Agree... looking back to '88 and 2000 those were years in which a number of players had stand out seasons. This group on the other hand are in the main performing to their expected ability.

Of course to win one let alone a couple of flags requires Lady Luck to favour us just a little.

Happy Fathers Day

Fascinating little exercise

The computer result is encouraging ;)

 

http://www.abc.net.au/news/2018-09-04/test-your-afl-finals-predictions-against-modelling/10195136

So going by the modelling we are fourth favourite to win (9%), behind the Pies (12%), WCE (13%) and the Tigers are huge favourites at (48%). That sort of feels about right but I think they have the Tigers a bit hot at almost flip a coin between them and everyone else put together

Starting to see a glimmer of hope as the road moves from a sheep path to a reasonably defined four wheel drive rut.

Go Dees

Well the road is certainly now paved and the potholes well and truly filled.

Off to see GWS v Pies tonight after the game down at Port. Hoping to see a good performance by GWS as a lead up to their game against Richmond.

May even dust off the old vehicle and do some Nullabor wanderings this week towards Perth.

Those roadside stops look positively inviting.

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

    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.
