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...

    • AFLW REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
