Great win dees!!  Suprised nobody on the forum has mentioned this, with a game in hand and Obviously we would of won against Essondrug, and surely on form we’re going to scrape that dog poo of a club off our shoe in the last round.. so we’ll done dees. We r in the TOP 4

 

Well West Coast have moved back out of Perth, and we know how bad they were to start the season.  Maybe they will drop some games in their new environment.

We wont catch Brissy or Port.   And very unlikely to catch the Cats either who play Adelaide next round and have a % of 138.

Geelong are the team to beat and don't write off the Tigers. Port and the Lions were terrible this week.

 

Considering we're one win behind the pace, and have a win in hand, and have a relatively soft draw remaining because our early season opponents included the entire top 4, you'd have to give us a chance.

A second chance would be handy in this weird season, but if we're there it will be because we sustained top form that deserves it.

Play like a top 4 team, finish top 4.

We aren't actually one win behind the pace though. West Coast are one win ahead of us but have played one less game than us. 

Would be very tough to make top 4 from here.

No.

It's not happening.

Honestly, I reckon we're more likely to finish bottom 4 than top 4.

Unless we win all games maybe!


Stop dreaming.

Even as a hypothetical I can’t see it even if we won every game from here on out. None of the top 4 play each other so who will they drop games to

The "game in hand" is a fallacy now that 6 other teams have also had a bye.

Need to bring back the match ratio column in the ladder circa 1993

Let's not get too excited.   We've beaten one quality team so far this season.

Who?

Collingwood. You'll now probably tell me how they're not a quality team.

WCE actually have played one less than us now.

Not on recent performances. They got belted by WCE, lost to Freo and snuck home against Sydney and Adelaide. I'm please with the win and the demolition job but I still think we need to prove it against the best.

I think we should've beaten Geelong, Richmond and Brisbane. But we didn't and we need to take that opportunity the next time it presents itself.

The Saints game will be interesting because they have a gamestyle that really troubles us so I will be fascinated to see how we perform against them.

Of course we need to beat the good teams. That is a given

But we had to win these games for any of it to be relevent 

Goodwin and the Footy Dept are still under scrutiny as far as i am concerned, but the 3 wins in this group (played in quick succession) have been fairly impressive. 
 

Losing to Jeelong at the ‘G was a major [censored] off, but my hatred of Jeelong is ridiculously high!!

We should win at least 4 of the last 6 games.  

That means 10 wins 7 losses.  Our percentage is good do if we lose, it cannot be blow outs.  10-7 should get us 6th or 7th. 
 

If we finish 11-6 that’s good enough for 5th/6th. 
 

If we finish 12-5 that’s good enough for Top 4. 

We've won some games, it's been good and they should be proud. But I think the top 4 is pretty much set. Don't want to stop anyone from shooting for the moon though.

We won't get that chance unless we make finals as the only team above us that we have not played is the Saints.  Our recent wins have been exceptionally strong so if we make finals the top teams won't beat us as easily as they did earlier in the season.

What has been very impressive for a few months were our massive 4th quarter scores vs:  Hawks, Crows, North and Pies.  Even against the Lions we kicked 3.1 to their 0.5 in the final quarter.  So the Port game aside, we are in great form.

Feeling very optimistic.?

As I've said before, I get the feeling that shortened quarters have hurt us more than most teams.  Go another 20mins against Geeeelong, Richmond and Brisbane and I think that's three games we would have won.

  • 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

    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.

    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.
