The bottom half of the top eight look just as dangerous as the top half.

Most of the form teams are in the bottom half. I would hate to come across the Swans or GWS in finals. We'd win cos I think we're the best, but damn. What a year to win a flag if you can do it.

    You need to remember tho that a lot of these sides have put so much effort just to make finals it’s going to be a big ask to have them continue at this pace. 
    Sydney is the only side in the bottom part of the 8 that really scares me.
    GWS are also very good but again their form is very up and down and they barely made the 8. Losing to them earlier this year will also be a good thing for us as we won’t take them lightly.

    Except for the top team Clint. They look alright.

    But if finals are in WA it’s much better to not have WC in finals with their insufferable fans and the rigged umpiring. 

    Ahh .... But I personally don't know any WC fans.
    I know plenty of Essendon fans.
    And they're all arrogant fl0gs.

    Can't risk a loss to them.

    I don’t know if it’s just me but I’m not scared of facing Essendon in finals if that unlikely event occurs. 

    the Lions will hammer them week one

    Essendon has won 5 games since the bye.

    Those wins have been over 4th, 14th, 15th, 17th and 18th.

    If they win next week, they'll add 16th.

    So that's the bottom five, plus the Dogs in a form slump.

    I maintain their form is a mirage.

    If Brisbane are getting their game to click, they're better than Sydney IMO. Would not want to draw them in the semi final if we lose the first final.

    Interesting the vagaries of the draw there. We've played top 8 teams 9 times. Other top 4 candidates Cats, Dogs, Lions only 8 times, and Port only 7!

    Assuming the top 8 doesn't change, it will be 10 for us in total, 9 for Geelong and the Dogs, and 8 for Port (given we all play top 8 sides again this weekend).

    Port's repeat games this season are Adelaide, Collingwood, Carlton, St Kilda and the Dogs. That's two bottom 4 sides, a bottom 6 side if Hawthorn passes Carlton this weekend and another bottom 10 side. Just one repeat game against a top 8 side.

    Meanwhile have just noticed that Brisbane have only played one current top 8 side since the bye: Geelong in Round 15.

    Their games post-bye have been against 2nd, 10th, 11th, 12th, 14th, 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th, and they have 9th to come.

    • 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

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      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.
