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.

    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.

    As per the CBA, by 2027 it will be:

    $82,000 (W)

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Western Bulldogs

      The Dogs reigned supreme in 2018 with an inaugural AFLW premiership cup and the Demons matched this feat by winning the cup as the Season 7 2022 champions.Meggs wasn’t born when the Doggies won their first VFL premiership cup against the Demons in 1954. Covid prevented many Demons fans from legally witnessing the victorious 2021 AFL Grand Final cup performance between the Demons and the Bulldogs, but we all grin when remembering those magnificent seven third quarter goals.

    • PREVIEW: Hawthorn

      Hawthorn and Melbourne. Two teams with impressive form from last week but with seasons that are travelling on different trajectories meet in Saturday’s twilight game for what could well be the most intriguing contest of the AFL’s penultimate round. Sadly, the game has been relegated to that unappealing time slot in the weekend when Melburnians are typically preoccupied with activities other than football. It falls between the morning's shopping, afternoon sport and recreation, and Saturday night fever. A time usually reserved for relatively insignificant events but this one is not a nothingburger for either of the clubs or their fans.

    • AFLW: 2025 Season Preview

      Ten seasons. Eighteen teams. With the young talent pathway finally fully connected, Women’s Australian Rules football is building momentum and Season 2025 promises to be the best yet. In advance of Season 10, the AFL leadership has engaged in candid discussions with all clubs regarding strategies to boost attendance and expand fan bases. Concerningly, average attendances in 2024 were 2,660 fans per match, with the women’s game incurring an annual loss of approximately $50 million.

    • REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      The next coach of the Melbourne Football Club faces the challenge of teaching his players how to win games against all comers. At times during this tumultuous season, that task has seemed daunting, made more so in light of the surprise news last week of the sacking of premiership coach Simon Goodwin. However, there were also some positive signs from yesterday’s match against the Western Bulldogs that the challenge may not be as difficult as one might think. The two sides presented a genuine football spectacle, featuring pulsating competitive play with eight lead changes throughout the afternoon, in a display befitting a finals match.The result could have gone either way and in the end, it came down to which team could produce the most desperate of acts to provide a winning result. It was the Bulldogs who had their season on the line that won out by a six point margin that fitted the game and the effort of both sides.

    • CASEY: Brisbane

      The rain had been falling heavily in south east Queensland when the match began at Springfield, west of Brisbane. The teams exchanged early goals and then the Casey Demons proceeded like a house on fire in the penultimate game of the VFL season against a strong opponent in the Brisbane Lions. Sparked by strong play around the ground by seasoned players in Charlie Spargo and Jack Billings, a strong effort from Bailey Laurie and promising work from youngsters in Kynan Brown and  Koltyn Tholstrup, the Demons with multiple goal kickers firing, raced to a 27 point lead late in the opening stanza. A highlight was a wonderful goal from Laurie who brilliantly sidestepped two opponents and kicked beautifully from 45 metres out.

    • PREGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons return to the MCG this time as the visiting team where they get another opportunity to put a dent into a team's top 8 placing when they take on the Hawks on Saturday afternoon. Who comes in and who goes out?
