I think you should be more worried about playing Port in Port. Very real chance of this happening.ย 

Why canโ€™t we win the next 2 games? St Kilda nearly beat Geelong. Itโ€™s not impossible.ย

A bit of history when weโ€™ve finished top 4โ€ฆ.

weโ€™ve finished 1st 9 times for 8 flags and 1 runner upย 

weโ€™ve finished 2nd 4 times for 2 flags

weโ€™ve finished 3rd 8 times for 1 flag and 1 runner up

weโ€™ve finished 4th 8 times for 2 runners up


(โ€ฆour other flag came when we finished in 6th position at the end of the home and away season)

Well, we need to win these last two H and A games!!!

Did the ladder predictor and whether the result between ourselves and Geelong and Power v Bulldogs goes either way I get weโ€™ll play the Dogs in the first final.ย

That sucks, as I don't rate our ability to win ground balls in our backline, and I hate that we play the same losing clearance game vs the Dogs who base their whole game on winning clearances.

If we do play them, I hope we're more honest in the clearance game and just try to win it, and I hope our defenders play with the expectation that the ball will more often than not come to ground in the backline and so they need to be ready with the tackle, and have someone ready to stop the scrubbing kicks off the ground.

Unless we lose to Adelaide tomorrow, today's results have basically meant there won't be repeat games from Round 23 into the 1st week of the finals. Presuming we win against Adelaide tomorrow:

  • If we beat Geelong: (a)ย we finish 1st and play either the Bulldogs or Lions ifย Port beat the Bulldogs; or (b) we finish 1st and play Port if the Bulldogs beat Port.
  • If we lose to Geelong: (a) we finish 2nd if the Bulldogs beat Port, and weย play the Bulldogs; or (b) we finish 3rd if Port beat the Bulldogs, and weย play Port in Adelaide.

I would prefer to play port over there than geelong.

Impossible to play Geelong in the 1st week of the finals if we win tomorrow... see my post above.

Our destiny is in our hands . If we play to our capabilities & the opposition does the same ..we win. Quite simple really โ€ฆ

thanks... my mind has turned to mush as usual at this time of the season

and of course we could lose to Adelaide !! But never fear I'm not worried !!

Right so we better beat Adelaide.


My preference for qual final opponent has changed from Port to the Doggies

If we donโ€™t win tomorrow I willโ€ฆ definitely not be surprised.ย

Well analysed.

Just to round it off, if we lose to Adelaide tomorrow, then:

  1. If we beat Geelong: (a) we finish 1st and play Port if the Dogs beat Port; or (b) we finish 2nd and play Geelong if Port beats the Dogs
  2. If we lose to Geelong: (a) we finish 4th and play Geelong if the Dogs beat Port; or (b) we finish 3rd and play Port if Port beats the Dogs

This means that, before tomorrow's game, we can finish anywhere from 1st to 4th, we can host any of the Dogs, Brisbane, Port and Geelong in the first final, and we can still be away to the Dogs, Geelong or Port in the first final.

Keeping in mind that the final will likely not be in Melbourne I donโ€™t care too much who we play or where. We dominated Port over there a few weeks ago.ย 

keep our head down. Keep winning and stay united. Andย keep everyone fit

Even if so, the worst possible result for us is an away game against Port, which is probably the only option where we will find ourselves in "hostile" territory.

I donโ€™t know. The Cats worry me.ย 
given Portโ€™s record against good sides Iโ€™d be comfortable with a final againstย Port

Port are not that good and cant see them beating the Dogs next week. I would not worry about them.

I'm not so sure about Port losing to the Dogs. The Dogs forward line is dysfunctional now without Bruce. Their midfield has fallen off a cliff since they beat us. I actually reckon they'll slip to 5th.

It's all part of the Dogs' plan to win one from their golden sector of the ladder - outside the top 4. Couldn't possibly happen twice right?

No, because the pre-finals bye isn't happening - let's face it, they wouldn't have won in 2016 if not for that.

Mind you, their golden run with the umpires will no doubt continue and willย help them...

It would be so MFCSS to lose to Adelaide then take out Geelong

Will the afl fixture our ย rnd 23 game vs geelong and port vs doggies at the same time like they do in last round in epl?

I donโ€™t think soโ€ฆ assuming we win tomorrow, if we beat the catsย and dogs win, then we play Port in the first final as they finish 4th and we finish 1st.

If we lose to cats and dogs win, we play the dogs in the first final.

If we beat cats and port win and lions win, we play the lions in the first final.

There are plenty of instances where we wonโ€™t play the dogs.

I reckon this is one of the aces we have up our sleeve Chook come finals time, we have not revealed this side of our game to anyone.

  • 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 forecastโ€”20 degrees, overcast skies, and a gentle breeze โ€” 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 Kateโ€™s clutch last quarter goal and a missed shot from Collingwoodโ€™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 isnโ€™t a standard conceptโ€”itโ€™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.

  • REPORT: Collingwood

    It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasnโ€™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 ย six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his teamโ€™s unfulfilled potential rang true โ€ฆ well, almost.ย
