On Footy Classified they showed a statistic that no team has ever lost four games in a row during the season and won the premiership.  So if we lose on Thursday it's all over!

    Didn't the graphic put up show that Richmond lost 4 in a row in 2017 before going on to win the flag? If so, it's not all doom and gloom should we lose Thursday...although it won't be a great feeling.

    What about Richmond in 2017?

    Perhaps, but it’s one more than the OP suggests.

    True or not, it's nothing more than some mildly piece of trivia which in the end is utterly meaningless.

    Which still means the odds are very much against us if we lose

    IF we lose four in a row AND win the flag;

     

    we will be the only team to lose 4 in a row AND and have two players get in a punch on at Entrecôte in the same season. I never thought I’d see the day.

    I we lose this week we will have to wait until the week after for a win !! No good getting ulcers over it. We have had a pretty good run with injuries over the last two years. Gawny will have had a good rest by the time he comes back. I doubt whether we will see T Mac this year so we need to prepare from now ( Note , I am not a doctor but everybody else in the stratosphere is an expert on soething e.g. Corne, Lloyd, Sumich & Collingwood's baby sitter(to be appointed))

    If we lose, I reckon it will be the way we lose that will be a factor in assessing our flag hopes.

    If we once again collapse in the second half and Brisbane run all over us, then serious questions aside from loading will need to be asked of this group. Do the players have it in them to climb Everest 2 years in a row? The defensive indicators are suggesting not, if you believe we're 17th for pressure.

    If we have a red hot crack for 4 quarters and lose a thriller on the bell, then I think we'll have taken a step in the right direction.

    Stats like this are meaningless in my opinion.  Like if a team loses it's first 3 or 4 games they can't make the 8 as only one team in x amount of years has done it. 

    Its loading, its the vibe, its Mabo

    Agreed. From a statistical standpoint, there are simply not enough seasons of football to have been played for these types of insights to indicate much of a trend. 
     

    Think back to last year and that no team to have finished top of the ladder and won the GF for the prior 10-12 years or something like that. You would need at least 100-200 data points to make any sense of it all.

    Heineken is my first choice, but a cold Chang is ok. LEO is reasonable, Singha is disgraceful 

    But the biggest problem is getting them not just Cold, But ICY COLD…

    Somewhere there must be a stat showing that if a footy show gets "beat ups " wrong every second week then no one should bother watching  it

    Meaningless stat in isolation as they presented it, but it does show how hard it is to reverse form.

    If we continue to lose, we'll be similar to Dees of 2004-2006 where we were top four for most of those seasons but had a period in the second half of the year where we capitulated and lost 4+ games in a row. We bowed out earlier than we should've those years, especially 2004 where we were top of the ladder heading into Round 18 but lost every game thereafter to finish fifth and lose an elimination final to eighth placed Bombers.

    Let's hope the short bye break gave the players a chance to reset and we can get back on track. The talent is still out there even with injuries, just need to switch on mentally and bring the intensity.

    • 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.

      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.
