Ruminating on this weekends scenarios, the Bradbury opportunities we may have and the whims of the football Gods...

 

So figured it was time for a poll!

    Very confident GWS will get it done tonight. Have won 5 and drawn 1 of their last 7 v the Saints.

    I think someone said we need a 50 point differential, in our game and theirs, to bring Saints % below ours and a win by us of course.

    Wonder how their 7 million dollar El Capitan will go.

    They are playing for finals, after all.

    GWS by 29 tonight

    Dees by 56 tomorrow

    We make it in easy on %.

    And then to top it off Freo beat the Dogs on Sunday.  Dees finish 7th and play Collngwood in the Elimination final

    I voted that GWS will win and we will win but not make up the % 

    It would be so nice though if for once another team can be on the receiving end of a huge choke and miss out on finals by less than 1% getting us in. 

  • Quote

    I was resigned to missing finals after the Freo loss, so even if we win tomorrow and miss out, it won't be unexpected.  

    We had the opportunity to cement a spot in the eight and basically render this last round game a moot point as we would have already secured a finals spot, but we don't like doing things the easy way.  It's always the hard way as a Melbourne supporter.

    This is where my Demon supporter paranoia comes in. I can envisage a situation where we're gifted an opportunity only to let it slip. The signs are there - articles that Stringer is fat, Woosher's last game and so on and so on. I think i need help.

    I have this strange confidence that things will pan out well for us and we'll not just play finals but win one also.  As a follower since 71 Im never confident about the dees so its an unfamiliar and  unusual sensation ...could it be a new form of delusion that Im not used to? can it be treated?

    Dees to finish top 4.

    Yes and no..in that order

    I fear for the state of Demonland should Melbourne roll over against Essendon or not win by enough if the opportunity presents. With a probable late start next year that's a potential eight months of serious bad vibes on here.

    The period between round 1 and 2 was bad enough. We've had a tough year and we've also blown our chances - but we're also still in a development phase thanks to our seniors being shot. I think we'll get the win but narrowly miss out on other results.

    You're being exceptionally greedy there BBO. There's more suffering to be had. That's a whole lot of self - flagellation or so I've been told

    Someone mentioned last week on here if the Giants win by even 1 point at least we will know what needs to be done tomorrow. I’d much prefer that than having to wait for Crows/Eagles ‘17’ Part 2 on Sunday night.

    If it does come down to Sunday night, I’m hoping the Cairns weather brings the Dogs handball/flick throw game undone.

  • Quote

    Shades of 1987 in this - our captain/ex captain #2 in his last season (presuming this for Jones), who had carried the club on his shoulders through dark times.

    Needing other results to go our way.

    Don't write us off just yet.

  • Quote

    I'm tipping the saints to lose, they have been poor. 

    what happens against the bombers is anyones guess, bombers winning by 6 goals and Joe kicking 6 wouldnt surprise me. We should win easily.

    The weather is dry so that is a positive as we play better in the dry especially during the day with no dew and we scoring should be easier for %

    The dogs are in form so a Freo win is unlikely. tonight is our only real chance imo

  • Quote

    Coniglio has a blinder tonight- Giants romp it in

    And for the Dees- Kysaiah starts clucking in the goals, Lever has no dropped marks inside defensive 50, Melksham pulls his finger out and we go all the way

    20% chance of rain on Sunday in Cairns. Was hoping for a wet night.

    Assuming we win tomorrow (but we don't leapfrog St Kilda) and the Dogs win, it won't hurt as much that WC V Adel 2017 game because at least this time we upheld our end of the bargain by winning a game we should have in the last round.

    I'd actually back us to win a final too if we make it. Something to with the lack of expectation...

    • 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.

      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.
