Seeing that ladder at the end of the home and away season would make me very happy.ย  I'd quite happily settle for just being top four, but finishing top 2 would put us in a great position for double chance and garenteed home final as well.

I'll believe it when I see it, as the MFC has finished top four maybe once in the whole time I've followed them - hopefully our present crop of players can break the mediocrity mentality and change the ills of the past in this regards.

ย 

Iโ€™ll be interested to see how Richmond go with 6-6-6. ย They were pretty much the worst centre clearance team in the league last year, and started with at least one spare in defence something like 96% of the time. ย Unless they change their centre clearance work I canโ€™t see them being top 4. ย Iโ€™m sure they are working hard to rectify it, but Nankervis is just not that great a ruckman, andย their best midย doesnโ€™t like to tackle.


Lol, talk about hype. Be interesting to see how we handle it. Tough draw. We should finish top 4, but we'll see.ย 

Yes, we're all scared of the hype but the thing is its's possible that this prediction could come true. For the first time in an eternity, the dees are capable of finishing sky high, if not on top of the ladder. To paraphrase Big Ted, " I'm excited"ย

Do you think the 12.8% other for Richmond was 7-7-4 or 9-6-3?


Cant see Geelong in the 8. Essendon.....mer..i really have my doubts, unless they get the good gear from China... dont think Adelaide will make it either. Replace those with GWS, Sydney and Hawthorn. We should have been on top last year...

Hmm of that list, Collingwood is a top 4 side with the experience at 666, a bit of a worry.

cant see Geelong and Brisbane inย 

GWS has to be thereย 

Sydney still a chanceย 

and smokey will be Northย 

Really excited about this season but I hope the club bans the players from taking baths. We also have to break the current trend of premiers coming from clubs never seriously expected to win the flag.ย

No way Geelong will finish higher over the Pies.

Pies deserve to be favourites

Happy if weโ€™re higher. Our list is better and more experienced this year, but others will improve also.ย 

Keen to see the Saints, Brissy and Carltonย improve. Super keen to see Hawks, Swans and Richmond decline..

Having been on the receiving end of more than our fair share of thrashings over the last decade, I have zero problem if we hand out some to other's this season and beyond.

I think he's right, was only saying the same to a mate the other day.

The AFL need to be careful what they wish for...at least our dismal losing margin records (Cats & Fitzroy) could be in for a trashing with hopefully us dishing it out for a change.

Yes, I really hope so. Team I want to beat this year, I to wouldn't mind additions to the 'when will this record be broken', such as losing margin. Preferably Geelong to take it over.

We play Collingwood, Richmond and West Coast a total of 6 times. Last year the games were over at 3 qtr time against all of those side as we had poor losses (Bar the memorable rd 22 win.

Top 4 rests on those games.

ย 

I'm persuaded by George on the outer's argument that the 6 6 6 set up won't make the sort of impact some are suggesting.

Yes having six forwards behind the arc will give players coming out of the centre more time to dispose of the ball (meaning cleaner entries). But in reality there are not that many direct centre clearances.

Also teams wanting to negate the impact of a dominant ruckman can use their wingers defensively. They can also go man on man and work to create an immediate stoppage and create a secondary ball up. And there will be no restrictions in that scenario.

As I noted in the impact of rule changes I reckon the change to the kick out rules will have the greatest impact and may result in higher scores and therefore blowouts.

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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 isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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. ย We filled our boots with percentage โ€” now a whopping 520.7% โ€” and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourneโ€™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 wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
