Highly likely that Richmond,  GWS, Collingwood, Geelong, West Coast and Brisbane will make finals.  That means we will have to battle twelve teams for the last two spots. Ouch!

It is actually unlikely that all those teams make it IMO.

Big question mark over the filth and geelong.

I would not be so certain over Collingwood, Geelong or Brisbane.

It never turns out as expected.

Agree with this.

What we do know is that 2 to 3 teams from last season WILL fall out of the 8 and its often hard to predict. The only certainties for me are Tigers (given talent), Eagles (with home ground advantage and talent) and probably GWS (talent) and Lions (talent and coaching)

This is last roll of dice for cats and still some flakiness in their list.

Yes, Brisbane still young and will come under a lot more scrutiny this year.

There is 8 Spots up for grabs this year Snowflake

It is sad that supporters already project an average rather than striving to be the best

Relax. It's out of our control. Just enjoy the ride. 

We were dead set certainties to play finals in 2019, prior to round one at least.

As always, there will be some teams which slide and some which over achieve - and these changes won’t necessarily be altogether obvious.

For instance, I reckon Port may finally come good. I’ve not seen many pundits talk them up yet.

That, and they had unrepeatable luck with injuries in 2019 (as in virtually none).

Still, they're well coached and are likely to be there.

I guess what I'm saying is that there's at least six teams considerably better than us that will take six spot in the eight leaving us to fight the rest of the competition for last two spots.

I mean, 'relax' is one approach @Rab D Nesbitt, the tried and true method I find is to, 

1) look forward to Friday/sat/Sun pre game each week,

2)feel disillusioned post game,

3) then move into sullenness,

4)then bargain with whoever your jesus is weekly,

5) then jump on Demonland to either find hope and/or spout bile.

6) and then try to avoid eye contact with colleagues who support anyone who is higher than you

7)... RINSE. AND. REPEAT.

No, that is not correct.

You can't find six teams that are considerably better than us? Even Champion Data says there's only five teams which have a list worse than ours.

Wouldn't be taking any notice at all of champion data, if all our better players are on the park for the majority of the games we can match it with anyone, like most years injuries will be a major factor for all teams.

Had an easy draw last year and virtually no injuries. I suspect that had quite an impact on their high finish. But they did have momentum and gained a bit of belief throughout the year.

Cats may make it to finals, but as always, they’ll choke under Scott, who will in turn publicly whinge and whine about it, which will in turn make me smile!

 

According to Dal Santo and other gutsy media pundits, the 8 won’t change despite at least 2 changes every year since the final 8 was introduced in 1994

North, Hawthorn and Port to replace Essendon and 2 other clubs that cop significant injuries. And yes it could be Richmond who couldn’t cover for their injuries at one stage mid season (losing to Geelong by 75 during their worst plight)

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
