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

  • Quote

    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. 

  • Quote

    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.

    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 REPORT: Port Adelaide

      Well, that was a shock. The Demons 4-game unbeaten run came to a grinding halt in a tense, scrappy affair at the sunny, windy Alberton Oval, with the Power holding on for a 2-point win. The Dees had their chances—plenty of them—but couldn't convert when it mattered most. Port’s tackling pressure rattled the Dees, triggering a fumble frenzy and surprising lack of composure from seasoned players.

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • AFLW REPORT: Richmond

      A glorious sunny afternoon with a typically strong Casey Fields breeze favouring the city end greeted this round four clash of the undefeated Narrm against the winless Tigers. Pre-match, the teams entered the ground through the Deearmy’s inclusive banner—"Narrm Football Weaving Communities Together and then Warumungu/Yawuru woman and Fox Boundary Rider, Megan Waters, gave the official acknowledgement of country. Any concerns that Collingwood’s strategy of last week to discombobulate the Dees would be replicated by Ryan Ferguson and his Tigers evaporated in the second quarter when Richmond failed to use the wind advantage and Narrm scored three unanswered goals.

    • CASEY: Frankston

      The late-season run of Casey wins was broken in their first semifinal against Frankston in a heartbreaking end at Kinetic Stadium on Saturday night that in many respects reflected their entire season. When they were bad, they committed all of the football transgressions, including poor disposal, indiscipline, an inability to exert pressure, and some terrible decision-making, as exemplified by the period in the game when they conceded nine unanswered goals from early in the second quarter until halfway through the third term. You rarely win when you do this.

    • 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.
