We'll have a to send a couple of bottles of wine to the Saints out of our $1m booty. Thank them for the big favour they just did for us.

    With the Saints win finish top of the McClelland ladder and get the $1million!!

    But we don't.

    We can drop next week, Collingwood win both of their last two games and we're tied on points.

    Not sure what they'd need to close the percentage up, but that's the only way we'd lose it.

    Not quite, but oh so close.

    The Pies would have to win by 100s points both games.

    It’s over. 

    Put the $1m in a managed fund. 

    It’s done. 
     

    Thanks to the girls!

    Ha! Is it that much? I wasn't too sure, just knew it was a mathematical chance.

    Sure Pies can win the next 2 and we lose next week but they would have a huge % to make up and I reckon that is most unlikely.

    Yeah. I didn't realise the percentage gap was quite so large. I knew we were comfortably ahead, but not 100s of points per game over two games ahead :D

    You can't include the girls into the men's in terms of culture. That's offensive to the girls program.

    It's Separate. 

    The girls are a very well drilled team which is driven hard by Mick Stinear who's created a fantastic culture for the women's. 

    The boys could learn a thing or two from the way Mick and his team go about it from a culture point of view.

    Yes, but there are many who are happy to pin the failures of the men upon those that should also get the plaudits of our women’s program.

    So while I agree that lumping them together is misleading, so are those that want to pick and choose what the club stands for.

    No, they go off points and then sort the ladder alphabetically.

    Not bad for a club with culture issues. Absolute powerhouse I say. 1 men's flag 1 women's and consecutive finals appearances for both!

    Go dees!

    It’s certainly a win for the President and CEO as well as all the admin who work across

    The men finishing 4th with a strong percentage gave the women a great platform to top it off.

    Hopefully it creates a stronger bond between the two playing groups as they can work together for success.

    Over 5k per bonus per bloke, 8k odd for the girls based on list size of 31, not bad going.

    Girls have been great but the boys had a big part to play as well.

    I'll leave the exact percentage calcs to all of you, but in the theoretical 'we lose next week and Collingwood wins this week and next' it depends on all of a) the points scored and b) the margin in our loss and c) the points scored and d) the margins of Collingwood's wins.

    But what Collingwood has to make up can be determined from the current total points for and points against:

    MFC: PF - 2704 / PA - 1900

    CFC: PF - 2409 / PA - 1952

    If Collingwood equal our AFLW record score of 107 both weeks and keep their opposition scoreless, and Brisbane equal our record score and keep us scoreless those numbers become:

    MFC: PF - 2704 / PA - 2007 134.7%

    CFC: PF - 2623 / PA - 1952 134.8%

    I think Anthony Green would call it for us.

    The men's side should donate their side of the Trophy monies to the girls. 

    They are already well remunerated ( 10X on average now) and they would only be handing more $'s to the tax man than any of the girls would be. 

    That’d be a small price for the men to pay for improving the image of the Club.

    $387,000 (M)

    As per the CBA, by 2027 it will be:

    $82,000 (W)

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.
