That would be a stinker of a situation.

Why would beating Geelong in rnd 23 be a "miracle of miracles"?

Pragmatic position to be in ... one that may well be the case. Still, the way the Cats played at home this round ... and we can beat Port by watching what we do with the ball at times ... and the season is nearly wrapped up ... there is the incentive to win all three and this is possible ... not unlikely as our humility dictates ... I'd reckon that with the best efforts possible and the best run possible with the worst of the umpires, we could end up 2nd on the ladder.  The Swans would be a danger for us - just have to be on the ball and determined.

If we don't, it has been a great season inside the most volatile environment for footy ever (Covid-19 pandemic).

Scott didn't look to worried about the GWS loss and fair enough as they had more scoring shots but 8.17.  However, their % took a hit and he has been watching it carefully.    

He may not have slept so well last night seeing what the Saints did to Sydney.  Geelong play Saints next week.

They can fall out of the top 4 if they lose the last two and Lions have three very good wins to bridge the % gap.  Suddenly Geelong need to keep winning to get the double chance.

Would much rather Lions in the top 4 than Cats.  Barrack for Lions today to keep the heat on Scott and his team of snipers.

Massive game v WC. 1st or 2nd if win and top 4 sealed, 4th if we lose.  I think Essendon are a chance v dogs today.

Agree! WC fighting for their spot in finals tomorrow so I expect them to show up! 

They are on very shaky ground playing us, Freo in what will be one of the biggest derby’s in years then the Lions.

Every chance of missing finals.

I have a special dislike of the Eagles fans since the 2018 prelim. I would be delighted if they missed finals.

Bit of money going on West Coast. Might just be our record in these games or maybe they have set themselves. Either play at our best we win. 

 

Same situation occurred with us against Collingwood a few seasons back to play finals, fellas didn’t turn up to play.

How does the team having 'set themselves' change the bookies odds? Are you implying WCE team is corrupt? 😀

Weather seems like it will be exceptionally wet & windy, so result becomes a bit more of a lottery. But more Victorian like conditions, so hopefully that suits Demons, versus Eagles pinpoint passing dry weather style.

 

Lions showing us how to get the job done in the West.

The weekend's results have opened up an incredible rails run to top spot.

Look there’s nothing surer than us blowing up this incredible opportunity we’ve been handed. #MelbournedoingMelbournethings

Top 4 locked in :cool:  Lost interest in the rest!!  

What a dream if the final 4 order stayed as is (or Cats and Dogs swap spots).  We would play first final vs Port who look the most vulnerable.  Straight through to the Prelim...  (Altho Lions could still make top 4 but happy to play them in first final.  Also look vulnerable).

Can we make a covid plea to stop the season now🙂

Last night could be a disastrous win:

If we beat Adelaide but lose to Geelong

if Port win their last 2 games, 

Dogs beat Hawthorn but lose to Port

Geelong beat St Kilda and us.

Means we finish 3rd and play Port in Adelaide. Would mean yet another flight and date in hostile territory.

Mate really? 
Dogs won’t lost to Port at home firstly. Secondly winning games is never a disaster. We cemented a double chance last night. The rest is irrelevant 

Do what we can to get that home final, the rest can be dealt with when it comes. Don't love being top but who cares.

Finals may well be played in Tassie and Geelong, deev. TBH I can't see finals being played in front of a crowd until at least the Prelims. And finals won't be played in empty stadiums. We won't come out of lockdown until all cases have been insolation for their infectious period. My conservative prediction is August 24. Absolute worst case scenario. That is before the weekend of the pre-finals bye. You have to expect 2-3 weeks after lockdown ends before crowds can return. That puts us in the week leading into Prelims. So it's a tight timeline.

  • 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.

  • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

    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.
