Looked at the ladder today and we're only 4 games + percentage behind Adelaide who are in the 8. If we win our last 4 and everyone from 16 - 8th lose all of their remaining games and we can make up 20% percentage we could still theoretically play finals. Throw in a couple of doping investigations and we will rocket into the 8 and as the doggies demonstrated in 2016 and with May, Tmac, Weid, Jetta, Vanders, J Smith to come back in the remaining rounds anything is possible. Stay positive!

Sorry mate, Adelaide and the dogs play in the last round, so even with a draw one of them will be above us. Looking good for 9th though

What if both sides play so bad that they both lose?

Kind of like when Essendon fly to a JLT match in regional Victoria. There is a precedent.

I'm thinking the mass disqualification route. Would need to be a good one to knock out 10 clubs :(

To be honest, this thread is a humerous breath of fresh air around these parts.

 

 

 

 

Snowflake's hope in hell, though.... ?

Absolutely, I considered including an accident like a plane crash or a bus down a ravine as a scenario but that would have been in poor taste.

Yes perhaps in poor taste but how about Mebourne on the road. A minor pandemic hits Melbourne (no deaths) but the city is quarantined.

Only the interstate teams and Melbourne can play and all finals are moved to Alice Springs. (Alice in Wonderland allegories appreciated.)

As there are 8 interstate teams we would need to knock GC off somehow.

There are probably TV shows with stranger plots !

Have a few spare membership barcodes if anyone is keen.

That would have to happen in the final round when we play North overseas in Tassie.

Fantasic news if we can make it to 9th IMO.

Look at what happened to Richmond after finishing 9th a few times...

PREMIERSHIP CUP HERE WE COME!!!

In seriousness, I'm looking forward to tonights game. Kids in bed, wife out for dinner with our eldest and me with a couple of glasses or red to watch what we are trying to do with no expectations.

Yes. And OMac will win the Brownlow.

Unfortunately we passed into the sad realms of "Mathematical Impossibility" last round.

Our maximum possible number of wins is 9.

Crows, Port and Bulldogs all currently on nine must win no more games.

Crows play the Bulldogs.

Oops, yeah, what he said. Right on the money, actually, we could, conceivably, make 9th.

All it would take is for two teams to win no more games and a further five teams to only win one game each at most, including of course the issue of games against others int he same group.

I would be, hmm, satisfied isn't the word... if we were able to pass Sydney and also finish with our perfomance after the bye round being ahead of Collingwood.

Come to think of it, we could have a shot at injury-pillaged Magpies, Sydney on a bad day, and Kangaroos for an end of season laugh.

Do that and we could even slip ahead of St Kilda on percentage, provided they win no more games.

 

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE SEASON IS OVER THIS IS ALL JUST PRESEASON FOR 2020.

  • 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.

  • 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.
