    I'm basically the same, although I think Syd beat GWS.

    I'm most scared of the Cats - and would love them to go out in straight sets, but I think its out of them and us (whether we meet them in the PF or GF).

    Swans midfield without Mills and Kennedy against one of the best midfields in the comp? Just can't see likes of Buddy, Papley getting enough supply. GWS by three goals.

    Essendon might be a bit like us in 2018 after a finals drought. Enthusiasm and emotion count for plenty in finals. Dons by five goals.

    Cats will beat Port. Cameron/Hawkins to play blinders.

    Dees to beat Lions. Would love for us to hit them hard early and then keep them at arms length for the rest of the game.

    I’ve said it since the start of the year, but I think Sydney are a huge chance and along with Geelong are the biggest threats to us.

    sweet jesus, I don't think I could take watching us in the GF against the Cats

    I'll be in the fetal position checking the scores every 20 minutes

    what could go wrong??!?

    Get the feeling the Lions are the most in form team in it at the moment, Cats last 3 they're 1-3 and only fell over the line against the Saints, 

    we're 4-0 and in good shape injury wise and should beat the Lions but i see them as our biggest threat. 

    I think we can feel confident against anyone else

    i have a horrible feeling this thread is going to coax Dr D out of the woodwork to produce yet another factual prediction of doom and gloom. I believe his last one, based on his ability to know more about football than any other numbskull on demonland, had us dropping from 1st to finish 5th and feeling grateful to be in the 8 at all. My skills as a budding Nostrodamus have Dr D predicting we exit the finals in straight sets 😜

    Week 1 (When hope turns into happiness /despair)

    Port to hold off a fast finishing Cats by 5 points

    Bombers to cause an upset and knock out the Dogs (who look completely lost right now) by 17 points

    Melbourne to put in a 4 quarter professional performance and defeat Brisbane by 22 points (even after a 3rd quarter fightback from the Lions)

    GWS to be the anti-GWS and out grind the grinding Swans in a 2 point thriller

    Week 2 (Usually the most one-sided week of finals)

    Lions to take care of the Bombers by 30-36 points. Just too strong and the Bombers will run out of momentum.

    Cats to defeat a gallant GWS by 20-25 points. The benefit of this matchup is that Geelong's older playing list will be hanging on by a thread.

    Week 3 (The Cox Plate -The best weekend of Football all year)

    Demons to overrun a lethargic but determined Geelong with a last quarter 6-8 goal blitz. Dees by 30-40 points.

    Port Adelaide in another Preliminary Final classic but this time it goes the way of the Power. Port to defeat Brisbane by 2 points.

    Week 4 (The one where we win the whole F*cking thing) 

    Grand Final will be held at Optus Stadium.

    A heavyweight title fight between the best 2 teams of the home and away season.

    After a tough 3 quarters where both sides have momentum but can't take advantage, I have the Dees in front at 3/4 time by 4 points. The lead won't blow out to more than 12 points for either side during the game.

    Our superior fitness will see us push out to a 24 point lead with 7 minutes to play.

    Port will kick a goal to bring it back to 18 points with 6 minutes to go.

    A steadier from Ben Brown will take the margin back out to 24 with 4 and a half to play.

    The "built for finals" gameplan will see us run the clock down with stoppage after stoppage for a 23 point win.

    And hit them hard late, and hit them hard in the in-between bits. Surely the ticker gets a rest this week.

    I fear the 5-8 teams more than the 2-4 to be honest.
    Not that any team in the finals isn't good, just that the Bulldogs, Swans, Giants and Bombers all have traits that aren't negated as easily by our strengths.  So I'm very happy to see them eliminate each other before too many of them get through to us (assuming we can do the job against the Lions.
    I don't rate Port Adelaide particularly highly, but they could be blessed with two home finals in front of a crowd.

    MELBOURNE       D.       BRISBANE
    PT ADELAIDE.     D.       GEELONG
    W. BULLDOGS.    D.       ESSENDON
    SYDNEY.               D.       GWS

    BRISBANE.           D.       W.BULLDOGS

    It's easy to be in good form when your last three games are against Fremantle, Collingwood and West Coast.

    It's also easy to drop a game or two when your last three games are against GWS, St Kilda and Melbourne.

    IMO, Brisbane's and Essendon's formlines are mirages.

    Port's and GWS' formlines are far stronger.

    • 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.

    • 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.
