This prompted me to see how the current top 8 sides have fared this year against each other:

Of the 40 games so far only 10 have been between current top 8 sides. 

Games played vs each other, In order of the current ladder:

  • Demons:  0
  • Lions: 1 (Beat Magpies)
  • Dockers:  1 (Loss to Saints)
  • Saints:   2  (Beat Dockers; Loss to Magpies)
  • Swans: 1 (Beat Cats)
  • Blues:  0
  • Cats:  3 (Beat Lions and Magpies; Lost to Swans)
  • Magpies:  3 (Beat Saints; Loss to Lions and Cats)

It looks like there will be a bit of a shakeout coming when these teams start playing each other (and some play each other twice).  

Saints, Blues, Dockers and Magpies would have expected 'easier' fixtures this year but given the 2021 ladder is a bit upside down that may not be the case.

The top 4 are still likely to be Demons, Lions, Swans and Cats.  Roll a dice for the rest and who might replace them.

    Definitely going for the Hawks today ... not sure they are an ultimate threat (Hawks) but it would be great to see the Cats incur a setback

    Talk already beginning that north should get a priority pick at the pointy end of the draft

     They aren’t even as bad as we were during the Neeld and early Roos years

    that's the media for ya.  always looking to drag up some contentious point for the sake of a few clicks

    It is not to often you would want to see a Hawrhorn victory but today is one of them. I hope they tear girlong apart or beat them by a point after the siren.

    Hard to think that in years gone by Easter Monday was probably one of the biggest home and away games of the year

    You don't start your captain on the bench. I don't care what the reason is, you just don't do it.

    Serious question . . . is there any player at Essendscum that would get a game at Melbourne? And if so, who is the Essendscum player/s and who would they replace at Melbourne? 

    (And Stringer is only an option if you're prepared to throw out the no _ _ _ _ head policy.)

    We are still recovering from Lockdown 

    Give it another 2 years and attendances will be back to normal

    If Geelong win there will be a two game gap already (3 for us) between the top 7 and the rest of the competition.

    Don't think I've seen a ladder separation like that this early on in the season.

    I really like this new, improved Geelong.

    Hawks hardness opening up the cats defence like a tin of dog food. I don't reckon they can keep it up for 4 quarters, but any team that can will beat the Cats. Ruck going down changes the game - he was doing brilliant ruck work.

    Jeez the cats look slow. They'll smack some underdeveloped teams but they're no threat whatsoever.

    Hawthorn looking like a poorly assembled cheap knock off version of us.

    If you want to destroy the amazing culture we’ve built you can go get that fat [censored] Stringer. He is a cultural cancer. 
     

    Now, let’s go Hawks. I am sick to death of Geelong.

    • 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.
