Great.

The heart ache continues for one more week. I assumed that last night we would’ve been put out our misery.

GWS got arrogant at selection and will probably have a far stronger side on Saturday.

I am reading a lot of delusional nonsense on this thread. We do not deserve to play finals and nor are we a chance. Don't rely on others to do the dirty washing. 

Carlton didn’t deserve to play finals in 2013 either. Just saying...

Have a heart! Years of following this club has damaged our faculties beyond recovery

 

The Teague train has derailed. 


We are just as likely to beat GWS & then lose to the bombers or even more mfc heartbreak the dogs win both games & saints lose both & we miss out on % so mfc like

Just when you think you’re out you get pulled back in.

What is happening? It’s like the twilight zone. Can’t see the bulldogs coughing up a spot though even if we roll GWS. And Carlton will reel Sydney in.

So assuming we win our last two, basically we need one of the three to happen in order to make the eight:

1) Pies lose both their last two games (GC and Port)

2) Saints lose both their last two games (WCE and GWS)

3) Dogs lose one of their last two games (Hawks and Freo)

I actually think the most likely is the Dogs dropping one of their games. Hawks are due for a win I feel.

Freo are a good chance to beat Bulldogs in Cairns on a dewy night.Great it's up there and not Metricon where they played the last 6/8,while we're Metricon,Alice Springs,Cairns,Cairns,Gabba,Metricon on mostly 4/5 day breaks!!!

perhaps more likely is the dogs to lose to Freo in the last round - if we win our 2 last games we'll get in 8th assuming no big jumps in %

Correct, if we win both of our last two games then any of the above three scenarios sees us make finals.

The St Kilda scenario requires us to make up 7% on St Kilda. Given we'll be winning twice and they'll be losing twice from here, that is probably not that much of a stretch.

The other two don't rely on percentage but obviously require upsets.

The only relevant game to be played before we play GWS is St Kilda v West Coast on Thursday night. If St Kilda win that, we'll know we're down to only two of these options being available. But, in what I think is good news, we'll still have the Dogs and Collingwood games unplayed when it's our turn, so we won't know for sure. Means we can't get ahead of ourselves and hopefully helps us focus.

Chances of us winning the last two? Not good I would think on past performance.

If we win our last two, Carlton can only pass us by winning their last two and making up 9% on us.

I wish I shared your optimism in winning the last two TU. I really do.


Well that’s just excellent, Carlton win. Last time I looked swans were belting them. They’ll end up higher than us on the ladder. Good on you MFC 

Well done Lewis Taylor you fat moron. Missed dead in front from 30m out after milking a free.

Just now, layzie said:

I'm not optimistic about us winning our last two at all. I'm barely optimistic about us winning even one of them.

But, if we do win our last two, Carlton won't be passing us. 

The pessimistic outlook would suggest this: we lose our last two, Carlton beats Adelaide, Fremantle beats North, and we end up 13th.

Lewis should stick to stealing car seat belt buckles.

That was Sydney's only score from the 3 minute mark of the third quarter onwards.

Losing to them last week is an absolute disgrace.

  • 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

  • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

    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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
