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.

    We have a good first week of finals, it'll be at home as I understand. hopefully we get Freo, as they have been found out by the better teams this year.

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

  • Quote

    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.

    • PODCAST: Gold Coast

      I’ll be away for the next few weeks, so Binman will be holding the fort for our podcasts covering the Suns, Bombers and Lions matches. As a result, there will be no live podcasts during this period, and we won’t be taking calls or voicemails. Binman will still be dipping into this thread to select a few questions to answer, while also combining the long-form Stats Files podcast with the Demonland Podcast for these shows. Your questions and comments are a huge part of what makes the podcast work, so please post anything you’d like to ask or say below and we’ll do our best to give you a shout-out on the show. Please try to keep each post focused on one specific topic or player to make podcast preparation a little easier. If you have multiple topics you’d like to raise, please put them in separate posts.

    • PREVIEW: Gold Coast

      Melbourne’s slow starts have been a troubling theme for a while. Against the Suns, they started slowly in both of their games, they trailed by 5.7.37 to 0.1.1 at quarter time at Peoples First Stadium in Round 16. This season, the story has remained the same and if the Demons fail to shake off this issue against the unbeaten Gold Coast Suns, they will be in serious danger of capitulating once again in their Easter Sunday showdown.
