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!

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.

Go stick that culture, Robbo and Warner 

that felt good! 

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.

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.

Wouldn't put it past the AFL to move the goalposts to gift it to Collingwood.

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.

    HEAVEN OR HELL by The Oracle

    Clashes between Melbourne and St Kilda are often described as battles between the forces of heaven and hell. However, based on recent performances, it’s hard to get excited about the forthcoming match between these two sides. It would be fair to say that, at the moment, both of these teams are in the doldrums. The Demons have become the competition’s slow starters while the Saints are not only slow to begin, they’re not doing much of a job finishing off their games either. About the only th

    THE BLOW by Whispering Jack

    Narrm’s finals prospects took a crushing blow after the team’s insipid performance at Optus Stadium against a confident Waaljit Marawar in the first of its Doug Nicholls Round outings for 2024.  I use the description “crushing blow” advisedly because, although the season is not yet at it’s halfway mark, the Demons have now failed abysmally in two of their games against teams currently occupying bottom eight places on the ladder.  The manner in which these losing games were played out w

    HALF FULL by KC from Casey

    It was a case of the Casey Demons going into a game with a glass half full in their match up against the Brisbane Lions at Casey Fields on Saturday. As the list of injured and unavailable AFL and VFL listed players continues to grow and with Melbourne taking all three emergencies to Perth for the weekend on a “just in case” basis, its little brother was always destined to struggle. Casey was left with only eight AFL listed players from who to select their team but only two - an out-of-form

    POSTGAME: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    Many warned that this was a danger game and the Demons were totally outclassed all game by a young Eagles team at Optus Stadium in Perth as they were defeated by 35 points.

    GAMEDAY: Rd 10 vs West Coast

    It's Game Day and the Demons have returned to the site of their drought breaking Premiership to take on the West Coast Eagles in what could very well be a danger game for Narrm at Optus Stadium. A win and a percentage boost will keep the Dees in top four contention whilst a loss will cast doubt on the Dees flag credentials and bring them back to the pack fighting for a spot in the 8 as we fast approach the halfway point of the season.

    WARNING by William from Waalitj

    As a long term resident of Waalitj Marawar, I am moved to warn my fellow Narrm fans that a  danger game awaits. The locals are no longer the easybeats who stumbled, fumbled and bumbled their way to the good fortune of gathering the number one draft pick and a generational player in Harley Reid last year. They are definitely better than they were then.   Young Harley has already proven his worth with some stellar performances for a first year kid playing among men. He’s taken hangers, k
