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...

    CONSISTENCY by The Oracle

    "I think we have got a team that can win a premiership, and if we get in this year, I don't think there is a team that is going to want to play us. This year is not a write-off, I don't concede that. Not at all." — Collingwood President Jeff Browne. I love this sort of optimism from the Magpie President after his club’s eleven goal defeat at the hands of the fast rising Hawks. It’s consistent with the fighting spirit of the club that won last year’s flag.  I only wish I could say the s

    FEARS by Whispering Jack

    Melbourne’s worst fears about the absence of Max Gawn were realised when it received a shellacking from Fremantle’s ruckmen Sean Darcy and Luke Jackson who dominated the hit out tally in their game at Optus Stadium on Sunday by a massive 47 to 19. As a result, the 50-point deficit at the end of the game proved to be a loss that was long foreseen that was two years in the making and demonstrated a complete lack of hindsight and planning from the club. To add insult to injury, Jackson was a D

    PREGAME: Rd 20 vs GWS

    The Demons return to the MCG in Round 20 to take on the GWS Giants and will be hoping the injured Captain Max Gawn is fit to return to his role in the ruck as their season is slipping away. Who comes in and who comes out?

    RAIN CHECK by Whispering Jack

    The Frankston Dolphins broke a run of six straight losses against their neighbours, the Casey Demons and kept their hopes for a long-awaited return to the VFL finals alive with a 27 point victory over at Kinetic Stadium. Casey was welcomed to the Peninsula by grey skies, heavy rain and angry seas with threatening white-capped waves whipped up by gale force winds. After a slow start in the opening term when they failed to take advantage of the breeze, it appeared that the Demons had decided

    GAMEDAY: Rd 19 vs Fremantle

    It's Game Day and the Demons have a golden opportunity to stamp their 2024 finals credentials as well as make amends for their disastrous first meeting against the Dockers earlier in the season when they take on Fremantle at Optus Stadium.
