Too early?

Conference B Ladder and Fixture

image.png.767914afeb017ef8219f649e881bfd63.png

Black:  Conference B teams, Red: Conference A teams;  Blue: 8 point games of finals contenders.

Top 3 in Conference B play finals.  Top team goes straight to Prelim. 2nd and 3rd play a semi and that winner plays in the Prelim.  Winner of the Prelim plays in Grand Final vs winner of Conference A Prelim.

Fremantle: Freo were extremely lucky to beat the Saints.  They won only because of a really soft 50m penalty to take them to the goal square with less than a minute to go.  Freo have tough games ahead:  Lions are top of Conference A ladder; Bulldogs a mere shadow of their former selves so Freo should win that.  Then they play 2nd and 3rd.  Will make the finals but don't have top spot sewn up.

Demons:  Technically we should beat Eagles and Suns but then we should have beaten the Saints but kicked ourselves into a loss.  They are must win games.  Then need to beat Freo and/or Blues.

Blues:  Very similar fixture to us.

Pies: Their challenging game is vs Lions.  Win their other 3 games and they can play finals.  Depending how the '8-point' games go they could do a 'Bradbury' and make finals by 'default'.

I would say Bulldogs, Saints, Eagles can't make finals but given they each play at least 2 of the top 4 they can really determine who does.

    We need:

    • Saints to beat the Blues - possible
    • Lions to beat Freo - likely
    • Bulldogs to beat Pies - possible
    • us to thrash Eagles - anything is possible ?

    These results will put us even with Freo and a step or two ahead of Blues and Pies. ?

    I suspect the final placing will be decided in the last round of the season.

    Last weeks results didn't go as I would have liked as the first 3 results didn't come in.  At least we thrashed Eagles!

    Today Collingwood had a massive win over Brisbane (Conf A) placing them 3rd in our Conf B. 

    We must beat Carlton tonight to keep us in the running.  If we do we will be a game and %'age clear of them and Collingwood with two games to go. 

    Would be very happy if Bulldogs have an upset win over Freo...

    • CASEY: UWS Giants

      The Casey Demons took on an undefeated UWS Giants outfit at their own home ground on a beautiful autumn day but found themselves completely out of their depth going down by 53 points against a well-drilled and fair superior combination. Despite having 15 AFL listed players at their disposal - far more than in their earlier matches this season - the Demons were never really in the game and suffered their second defeat in a row after their bright start to the season when they drew with the Kangaroos, beat the Suns and matched the Cats for most of the day on their own dung heap at Corio Bay. The Giants were a different proposition altogether. They had a very slight wind advantage in the opening quarter but were too quick off the mark for the Demons, tearing the game apart by the half way mark of the term when they kicked the first five goals with clean and direct football.

    • PREGAME: Richmond

      The Dees are back at the MCG on Thursday for the annual blockbuster ANZAC Eve game against the Tigers. Can the Demons win back to back games for the first time since Rounds 17 & 18 last season? Who comes in and who goes out?

    • POSTGAME: Fremantle

      A undermanned Dees showed some heart and desperation to put the Fremantle Dockers to the sword as they claimed their first victory for the season winning by 10 points at the MCG.

    • GAMEDAY: Fremantle

      It’s Game Day, and the Demons return to the MCG wounded, undermanned and desperate. Still searching for their first win of the season, Melbourne faces a daunting task against the Fremantle Dockers. With key pillars missing at both ends of the ground, the Dees must find a way to rise above the adversity and ignite their season before it slips way beyond reach. Will today be the spark that turns it all around, or are we staring down the barrel of a 0–6 start?
