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.

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.

    CLEAN HANDS by KC from Casey

    The Casey Demons headed into town and up Sydney Road to take on the lowly Coburg Lions who have been perennial VFL easy beats and sitting on one win for the season. Last year, Casey beat them in a practice match when resting their AFL listed players. That’s how bad they were. Nobody respected them on Saturday and clearly not the Demons who came to the game with 22 players (ten MFC), but whether they came out to play is another matter because for the most part, their intensity was lacking an

    ALAS SPRINGS by Whispering Jack

    I got the word on Saturday from someone who knows someone inside the Fremantle camp that the Dockers were pumped and supremely confident about getting the W the next day against Melbourne at TIO Traeger Park in the red heart of the country. I was informed that the Dockers were extremely confident for a number of reasons. They had beaten the Demons on their home territory at the MCG at their last two meetings so they didn’t see beating them at Alice Springs as a problem. They belie

    TROUBLE by The Oracle

    Situated roughly in Australia's geographic centre, Alice Springs has for many years been a troubled town suffering from intermittent crime waves, particularly among its younger residents. There was a time a little while ago when things were so bad that some even doubted the annual AFL game in the town would proceed.  Now, the hope is that this Sunday’s Melbourne vs Fremantle encounter will bring joy to the residents of the town and that through the sport and the example of the participants,
