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 PREVIEW: Geelong

      It’s been a season of grit, growth, and glimpses of brilliance—mixed with a few tough interstate lessons. Now, with finals looming, the Dees head to Kardinia Park for one last tune-up before the real stuff begins.

    • DRAFT: The Next Generation

      It was not long after the announcement that Melbourne's former number 1 draft pick Tom Scully was departing the club following 31 games and two relatively unremarkable seasons to join expansion team, the Greater Western Giants, on a six-year contract worth about $6 million, that a parody song based on Adele's hit "Someone Like You" surfaced on social media. The artist expressed lament over Scully's departure in song, culminating in the promise, "Never mind, we'll find someone like you," although I suspect that the undertone of bitterness in this version exceeded that of the original.

    • AFLW REPORT: Brisbane

      A steamy Springfield evening set the stage for a blockbuster top-four clash between two AFLW heavyweights. Brisbane, the bookies’ favourites, hosted Melbourne at a heaving Brighton Homes Arena, with 5,022 fans packing in—the biggest crowd for a Melbourne game this season. It was the 11th meeting between these fierce rivals, with the Dees holding a narrow 6–4 edge. But while the Lions brought the chaos and roared loudest, the Demons aren’t done yet.
