The Other Preliminary Final

I prefer the Pies to the Tigers. I think we have a good chance of beating Collingwood but we need to play well against WC. The bye might hurt the Eagles.

    Don’t know why posters are concerned about Collingwood. We still have a game to play tomorrow. 

    We are concerned because no matter who wins tomorrow, a Pies premiership is highly likely. And you don’t live in Melbourne so you don’t understand how awful that is!!!!

    Hoping for a Collingwood win as a Melbourne v Collingwood Grand Final would be so right on so many grounds.

    Of course Richmond supporters would say we avoided them but there's always next year.

    Started this thread with the post above.

    Let's hope the sentiment comes true.

    Collingwood can win the flag, there’s no point pretending they can’t.

    Sadly this is a distinct possibility. If they play like this next week, very few teams will be able to match it. I'm not sure we've played as impressively for a sustained period like Collingwood have tonight.

    Pies were hot in the contest and had a better midfield.

    Yeh I understand that and the hype around Cox is gross but they played well. Must be an amazing feeling.

    Who would have thought we'd be saying Richmond lack a Plan B? That's why I reckon our game style holds up better than theirs, because Richmond don't win clearance. When their pressure was matched, they had nowhere to go.

    I think we're the only team that can beat Collingwood. I'm not sure we can get past these Eagles muppets though.

    Seeing Bucks’ smug face makes me sick. 

    I hate this team so much. Please please please let us win tomorrow, because honestly West Coast are no chance. 

    We are the competition’s last chance of saving the world a Pies victory. 

    Basically this. Collingwood will absolutely obliterate the Eagles on the G next week if we lose tomorrow. The only reason that team is anywhere near the top 8 is their ridiculously biased home ground advantage, just like Geelong only making finals every year because of Kardinia Park.

    Give me a bucket! We truly are the comp's last hope.

    Could we handle Cox? Frosty?

    In my experience most Cox tend to shrink in stature when it gets frosty, so that might be a good move.

    It will be very tough to beat West Coast over there in a final. Collingwood couldn't do it. If we do manage to do it we will trouble Collingwood - especially if they go in as favs and us underdogs. It would be the perfect storm for us. Just to sneak into the Grand Final and pinch it. The harder game is tomorrow. I have lived in WA and they are one eyed and it will take a massive effort to win tomorrow.

    Who the [censored] was playing on sidebottom... 41 disposals.... 35 uncontested that's insane

    This is a bad outcome no matter which way you look at it. 

    West Coast beat us and Pies win the flag. 

    We beat West Coast and we face the possibility of losing to Collingwood in a grand final. 

    It’s one big messy Cox fest.

    West Coast beat Collingwood at the G earlier this year.

    • 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.
