Sorry,  getting in early here.

Some tasty and meaningful matches for neutral Melbourne supporter this weekend.

Im actually quite worried about the Cats, as we obviously played them without Cameron, so my preference is for a Port win.

I’d also rather West Coast to miraculously win against Richmond whilst being injury depleted. 
 

Im not sure which permeate room suits us better in throes matches?

I'm looking forward to a Thursday night game. My preference is for Port to throttle Geelong

Depends how optimistic you are re the rest of the MFC season

If you're into insurance mode you want the interstate teams to lose thus minimising the chance of a first final interstate.

A counter thought to this theory is which team is more likely to overtake us.

Very difficult as all three of Geelong, Brisbane and Port are on 32 points at present.

Port..simply because the Geelong inclusions may not be match fit and Eagles for the fun of it.

 

Out of port and Girlong who really cares.  Hopefully though I hope Girlong miss out on a top 4 position.

 

Port are an interesting team. They are missing the speed and youth of Butters and Dursma. Their team looks slow in the midfield without them.  I expect their form to turn around and Dixon to kick a few bags soon. I expect Port to be our biggest threat by the end of the year

The Cats I still don't rate, but they keep proving me wrong. hopefully the next 3 weeks the Cats get found out

Depends upon who or where you would rather play (only if we have to play an away qualifying match if we lost form dramatically Which won't happen)

Adelaide Oval (Port)

Marvel (Dogs) possible MCG 

GMBH (Cats) probable MCG 

Gabba (Lions

MCG (Tigers)

Personally I would not be phased with any but Cats at GMBH straight after around 23 might be a double up opportunity to good to miss out on!!

Ya! Me too @JTR - but some folk on here give it some really good analysis - which isn't my bag to design, but love reading it.

 

Mind you - 3 weeks in a row (and after beating The Bulldogs and Brisbane) THIS still happens!!

Interesting...

On that scenario Geelong would play its first final at Kardinia Park... Geelong v WC

Could also result in no matches at all in Vic in the second round of the finals

Bulldogs to lose only one match going forward (presumably against us) is an interesting prediction. You may also have underestimated Brisbane by a game or two.

Fascinating though and thanks

Jeepers @Engorged Onion you're clearly a fan of what the Dogs are doing if you've got them only losing one match out of Geelong (in Geelong), West Coast (in Perth), Sydney, us (at the MCG) and Port Adelaide!

Having said that, there's not a huge difference between finishing 1st or 2nd, but there is a massive difference between finishing 2nd or 3rd when two of the next three best sides are Brisbane and Port.

Melb Fc unlocked the  Dogs in their most emphatic performance for the year and I think other quality teams will/could do the same. Dogs being on top is a bit Over The Top.

On this theory I have the dogs only winning 5 more games. Port Bombers Dees Eagles and Geelong will all be tricky for them.

If that beat that then well done to Beveridge to re-set strategy a bit.

watch the Geelong tactics against the Port kick out. Have not noticed this one before

Geelong using two players on the mark to prevent the Port kicker from playing on.

Excellent tactic against teams that like to kick deep such as ourselves

Selwood whinging for high contact and Danger flopping. 

business as usual for the Cats

Tell ya what, both teams defensive efforts are pretty dismal. Fun to watch a shootout tho. 
Rozee is not a bad player! 
 

Let’s go Port. My hatred for Geelong cannot be explained in words. 


Just turned it on - watching 7, listening SEN - how good is it goal kicker not being pulled off the ground …. except he has been after his 4th. 
Suck it up, Cats

How many decades can I watch the same Geelong players? Just retire already. So sick of this team. 

Rozee seriously good but selfish. Burned a teammate in better position to convolute his second goal. 

I think this is the first Port game I have seen this year.

Is Rozee someone new? Any prior form?

6 meter kick to Hawkins - mark.  
Deserved nothing more that a poster. 


50 Hawkins you petulant prjck.  

Hawkins and his floppy arms need a good smack in he head. Cannot stand that thug.

Lovin your work tonight Jaded. Feels like Selwood and Hawkins have been playing since the early 90’s!

 

Selwood getting done for holding the ball is maybe my favorite moment in football each week. Except for when Danger flops and doesn’t get a free. 
 

Port look good. Geelong look old. Can’t run with Port. I’m excited for when they all retire and become Hawthorn 2.0.

  • 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

    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.
