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, 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.

    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

    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????

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Western Bulldogs

      The Demons lacked some polish but showed a lot of heart and took it right up to the Bulldogs in an attempt to spoil their finals hopes ultimately going down by a goal at the MCG.
