So who do we prefer to play in week 1, and who has to win in the last round to make that happen?

I'd like a home qualifying final

I'd prefer if we avoided Collingwood altogether given the shellacking they doled out to us in round 5. As well as we are playing at the moment a beating like that leaves psychological scars.

For us to finish 4th the filth will have to beat Adelaide and Freo will have to beat North. On top of that we will have to beat the lions. It will be difficult to see all those 3 results happen.

I reckon a lot has changed since that match. I'd be more inclined to think Collingwood would be over confident.

Playing the pies would be better than traveling interstate I'd think. The girls have played some great footy since we copped that belting.

Assuming Melbourne win, we only need one of Adelaide or Fremantle to lose to finish top 4.

Yes your right. Problem is I think they will both win.

The pies will beat Adelaide. They’re a much better team. Plus they risk dropping out of the Top 2 if they lose so they can rest on their laurels. agree Freo will beat North

I watched Bris beat North last week. The Lions have lots of talent on all lines, very impressive.  I will be pleasantly surprised if we win.  I hope Downie is available.

The priority should be to stay in Melbourne throughout the finals if at all possible. Looking at the draw however it's hard to see us not have to go to Brisbane for a preliminary final.

Adelaide beat Collingwood by 1-2 points in a low scoring game could work.

I think the crows might win and therfore will play Freo. Another return trip for them. If the filth win we will play North.

So we play Freo in final next week. If we win that then we play the crows in the prelim. The filth lost by too much and finish 3rd. I hope daisy can be back in 2 weeks coz if we beat Freo adelaide have never beaten us when we have daisy playing.

We're the form team and have nothing to fear from Freo.

Daisy won’t play but Gay, Parry and Bannon to step up. Kate Hore, Eden Zanker and Lauren Pearce will be pivotal.

Our perfect home record to remain intact.

Dees by 15.

Freo had a Carltonesque draw. They played Gold Coast, GWS and West Coast twice. They did sneak past the Blues by 4 points but have lost to Brisbane, North and us along the way. In fact the only top 6 side Freo have beaten were Adelaide when the Crows kicked 1.7 all the way back in Rnd 3.

Of course anything can happen but after 2 losses on the trot Freo won’t  be brimming with confidence. With them having to travel on consecutive weeks the game will be there for us to win.

Looking forward to heading to Casey on Saturday although i would prefer a later starting time. I'm confident of the win

Fourth-placed Melbourne will take on fifth-placed Fremantle in a home Qualifying Final B at Casey Fields on Saturday, April 3 at 1:05pm AEDT.

Need to get past freo first but I am happier to be in Adelaide's side of the draw than Brisbane's.

    There were a number of Demonland Trackwatchers at Gosch's Paddock this morning to bring you their observations from Preseason Training. KEV MARTIN'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS They were going hard at each other. The sims were in two 15 minute blocks. The second block finished a few minutes early, they gathered and had another 7 minutes at it. I think they were asked to compete, as they would play against an opposition. There was plenty of niggle, between some of them. At the end o

    Better late than never … and quite frankly, there’s very little to report other than that training took place at Casey Fields this morning, that Tracc was there nursing his rib injury and that some photographs are on the club’s social media including this one of Clarrie in Raging Bull stance that gives rise for confidence. The other news is that the club has a new train on player in 185cm Dandenong Stingrays midfielder Noah Hibbins-Hargreaves (love the hyphenated name which is just so fitti

    TRAINING: Thursday 9th January 2025

    Welcome back to Demonland for those like me who have been on vacation. I’m posting this with some trepidation because of a certain amount of uncertainty surrounding the return of preseason training in 2025 after a flurry of weddings including those of our coach, one of our superstar players and a former premiership champion player and bloke, not to mention the recent mysterious incident that occurred on the Mornington Peninsula.  I believe that the team reassembles this morning at Casey Fie

    TRAINING: Monday 16th December 2024

    Demonland Trackwatchers braved the sweltering heat to bring you their Preseason Training observations from Gosch's Paddock on Monday morning. SCOOP JUNIOR'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I went down today in what were pretty ordinary conditions - hot and windy. When I got there, they were doing repeat simulations of a stoppage on the wing and then moving the ball inside 50. There seemed to be an emphasis on handballing out of the stoppage, usually there were 3 or 4 handballs to

    A few new faces joined our veteran Demonland Trackwatchers on a beautiful morning out at Gosch's Paddock for another Preseason Training Session. BLWNBA'S PRESEASON TRAINING OBSERVATIONS I arrived at around 1015 and the squad was already out on the track. The rehab group consisted of XL, McAdam, Melksham, Spargo and Sestan. Lever was also on restricted duties and appeared to be in runners.  The main group was doing end-to-end transition work in a simulated match situation. Ball mov
