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.

    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.

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

    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 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.
