Watching parts of last night’s game where North Melbourne gave last year’s premiers a whipping, I can’t see anyone else getting near them. How did they get to assemble such a strong side in no time?

It stinks but they have been able to buy a flag ( presuming they win ) in their first year. Current clubs had to give north and geelong some players including a top ranked player. If the 4 clubs entering the comp next year can do the same the situation is effed. They shouldn't be expanding again next year or even for the next 5 years.

Yep. Every other club was furious about how Norf went about recruiting. Says it all really.

Well to have any hope of staying in touch we need to win tomorrow 

 

Well, I'll be there. It's going to be a bit strange barracking against a few girls I've coached. Any other QLD Dees planning on attending?


We need to win.  We are in the strong conference group. Look at the percentage between the two.  Its seems to come out completely loop sided.

 

 

 

Can't Im sorry but am in Melb fir a week.

Girls can win and start to bear all rivals.

If they had the same conference system back in the day when Mark Neeld was coaching us, we would have been a chance to make the finals.

No we wouldn't...

That Freo win against Collingwood has not done our finals chances any good.

As others have mentioned there seems to be some disparity between the two conferences

I’ve heard of rose coloured glasses dc but never seen rose coloured blinkers

Very scrappy vs the pies last week.  Very clean this week. 

There has been some really good marking, overlap play and short stab passes to position.  And our defensive structures are holding up really well.  For a change we have kicked more goals than points.

It will be a good win and a very good percentage boost (if I haven't spoken too soon...).

Well, that experiment didn't last long...the game isn't over yet. 

I opened the thread from the main board and by the time I finished the post the thread had been moved.  I reckon regular AFLW posters are still watching the game...

Terrific team performance today. I thought Pearce was best on, she was brilliant and dominant all day. 

Bring on Norf, the only downer was Cunningham on report. 


The joke of the conference system is shown in the ladder.

If this was the final round Carlton and Brisbane from Conference B would be playing in the finals (as the top two teams in Conf B).  Yet they are below all of the teams in Conference A.  Its embarrassing. 

It was rather dumb of the AFL to put the last two premiers in the same conference and Melbourne as a recognised strong team in that same conference.

It’s not a good look at all. Carlton won their first game in 12 months this weekend and are currently holding down a finals spot.

I think they just need to make a few rule changes for next season and everything will be ok.

So 'Lucifer', I haven't been keeping a close eye on this at all.

How does the conference system work?

For some reason I thought that conference A teams just play other teams in conference A then the top teams in each conference play off???

...but it seems you just play anyone????

  • 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.
