Watching footy for 40+ years and never been so nervous during a 12-goal thumping. 

Oh well, no point ruing what might have been, we’ve clearly got the talent to win the thing.

Funny to think that had they been able to do it, the women, like the men, would have snatched the minor premiership right at the death, albeit by vastly different margins.

    I actually think 2nd spot has some pluses.  There are 3 top sides in the comp and we meet one when there's a second chance, win and we likely avoid the other in the prelim!

    Is anyone worried about our easy draw? Adelaide will be a different proposition. Great win by the girls but gee have we had some easy games recently.

    We really have had most of the games our way. No score board pressure and our tackling have forced the errors in our opposition. We have been playing freely. It will be interesting if the opposition start scoring well and they don't panic when we come at them.

    The yips could easily take over if we start panicking. 

    Hoping winning form gets our confidence high and we continue the fast, hard and attacking game. Would hate to see us drop the bundle. Though we possibly will need to try some tempo footy if we start losing control. 

    We also have been playing in poor environmental conditions. It will be interesting to see how we go when skilled play is easier to do.

    They say finals are won by pressure and the backline. In this we have been doing very well.

    I think we are on a mission, we will be too, disciplined, resistant, hardened and strong willed.

    It wasn't a disadvantage for the Geelong mens team this year. We've had hard draws to complete recent seasons and it took its toll. I much prefer the easier run home

    Tend to agree.

    Us and the Lions are the standout teams. I don't fear the Crows this year. I don't think we should fear playing an inter-state granny if it comes to it the only disappointment is I won't be able to go to Brisbane to attend.

    Didn’t hurt the Geelong AFL side this year!!

    I will go to Brisbane if we make the GF (it’s difficult to see Brisbane not winning through). Anyone other Demonlanders thinking of going?

    I’m confident we’ll make it to the GF and just as confident we’ll win (anyone, anywhere, anytime) even if up against Brisbane, and even if it’s played in Brisbane. 

    What I’m worried about is the crowd size and in particular that we’d be so outnumbered.

    I intend on going to Brisbane if we play there (even if it means selling a kidney - pretty sure I’ve still got one left 🤔) but understandably not many Victorians will be able to attend. Therefore I’m hoping that the GF is staged at Marvel or Ikon. Soz, interstate sides, not Soz. 😁

    Agree. The lot of backline players unfortunately.

    Realistically you'd need to put all 18 in the best yesterday.

    Did anyone else hear the rumour mentioned on this week’s AFLW Dee Brief poddy that the GF will be played at Docklands regardless of who makes it? 

     

    I asked Mitch and Mandy (the pod hosts) about that and they said it will be played at Marvel, it’s just that it’s not official yet.

    What about the prelim?

    If the GF is to be at the Gabba(?) it'd be good for the girls to experience a 'stadium' final in the lead-up.

    True. But I doubt very much the GF would be at the Gabba.

    And not the end of the world if it’s at Metricon. We’ve won our last three matches there.

    Ah, that's right, they have a 'suburban' ground, too?

    p.s. Noticed Zede put her 'tail up yesterday. Waddayareckon? (I had wondered when someone would start to be concerned about putting an eye out!)

    I love Edo, tail up or down! I’ll even forgive her for tucking her guernsey into her shorts. 
    There’s a lady in the DA, around 80yo and Eden is her favourite player. I asked her why Eden? She said, “She has fabulous hair!” 🤣

    Won't be at the Gabba. It's booked for cricket. If Lions host it will be on the Gold Coast

    So the one point doesn’t matter anyway. From the lions perspective if they do win through they’ll probably get more fans to marvel than the Gold Coast.

    Friday night, 7.10pm at Ikon confirmed.

    • 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

      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.
