We can beat anyone, obviously, and finish the season 19-3. But, really, I can't see us magically fixing everything and the many out of form players coming good straight out of the short bye. Plus our fixture is tough, and it now looks like we'll be without Maxy for a good month++. Tough to see us, on current form and circumstances, staying inside the top 4 which is a shame given our good start. I hope for more, but will take a 5th spot, home final, then get the job done against a top 4 loser. Hopefully by the end of the H&A, we'll have gotten Tommy back with some time to settle, and any returning from injury/out of form, have found what they need to get us over the line in a thriller against the Lions. At the G.

Naturally, it really depends on how we come out of the bye, especially now without Max. Really tough. On current form we could lose pretty much every single game. And problematically, much like winning, losing breeds more loss. We need to break free from that cycle very quickly, because it's not going to get any easier.

For what it's worth, I think we can, even without Max, but geez we need a really quick step up from the group, and the likes of fringe players like Weid, who we're likely going to need if Jacko needs to ruck.

    Max being imperious didn’t mean we won the Sydney game.

    Similarly, his injury does not mean doom.

    Daw can play a role or Weideman can come in. Jackson will provide a competitive ruck in there for the mids to work off.

    If we can reverse our form we can win enough games for top 4 and we can beat anyone, anywhere.

    3 weeks ago I saw that MFC were 8:1 to miss the top 4 and 20:1 to miss the final 8. Now we are 3.6:1 to miss the 4, and 13:1 to miss the 8.  I thought the odds 3 weeks ago were too good to pass up. Also, when I back something it generally loses. And more than happy to lose, but if I win, at least I’ll have some money in my pocket to help me drown my sorrows.

    • 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.

    • CASEY: Williamstown

      The Casey Demons issued a strong statement to the remaining teams in the VFL race with a thumping 76-point victory in their Elimination Final against Williamstown. This was the sixth consecutive win for the Demons, who stormed into the finals from a long way back with scalps including two of the teams still in flag contention. Senior Coach Taylor Whitford would have been delighted with the manner in which his team opened its finals campaign with high impact after securing the lead early in the game when Jai Culley delivered a precise pass to a lead from Noah Yze, who scored his first of seven straight goals for the day. Yze kicked his second on the quarter time siren, by which time the Demons were already in control. The youngster repeated the dose in the second term as the Seagulls were reduced to mere

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Collingwood

      Narrm time isn’t a standard concept—it’s the time within the traditional lands of Narrm, the Woiwurrung name for Melbourne. Indigenous Round runs for rounds 3 and 4 and is a powerful platform to recognise the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in sport, community, and Australian culture. This week, suburban footy returns to the infamous Victoria Park as the mighty Narrm take on the Collingwood Magpies at 1:05pm Narrm time, Sunday 31 August. Come along if you can.

    • AFLW REPORT: St. Kilda

      The Dees demolished the Saints in a comprehensive 74-pointshellacking.  We filled our boots with percentage — now a whopping 520.7% — and sit atop the AFLW ladder. Melbourne’s game plan is on fire, and the competition is officially on notice.

    • REPORT: Collingwood

      It was yet another disappointing outcome in a disappointing year, with Melbourne missing the finals for the second consecutive season. Indeed, it wasn’t even close, as the Demons' tally of seven wins was less than half the number required to rank among the top eight teams in the competition. When the dust of the game settled and supporters reflected on Melbourne's  six-point defeat at the hands of close game specialists Collingwood, Max Gawn's words about his team’s unfulfilled potential rang true … well, almost.
