The run home is coined from racing. 

It refers to the race left after turningbthe last turn ( of note ) 

It can vary somewhat from racecourse to racecourse but essentially is the same.

As it's been borrowed... then the reference is simply from wherever you are .... as obviously teams are not horses and seasons not courses.

It's this side of a euphemism . 

Arguably some might consider our real turn for home to occur after the KBW ( has merit ) 

But really...from where we are..   :)

Logic is subjective, therefore it can be flawed. 

 The Run home ?   Dont care anymore.. Melbourne bring their winning game to the table the ladder will do the rest without our exalted input.  OK a fact Melbourne are still treated like bunnies  ie Cattery but who cares. We're good enough to win so do it.  GWS say HI.

Under current circumstances we would of hit two of these three teams Carl Coll Geel  in 21. We still have basically the same personnel. Its good enough. Up to MFC.

Dont waffle about the Pies beating us . We take out Carlton  we can beat Collingwood. Theyre not robots.

What’s logical to one person might be illogical to another. Perception being reality, who’s to say which of these two people are right?

No logic is logic 

It's undeniable.

What you refer to might possibly be called ...opinion... that...is subjective

 

We should win in Mordor in front of those people - so that should be fun.

We are playing ok, we are just sloppy and forever waiting for someone else to ignite us. The disease of ‘why me?’ is a thing in bball teams with star laden teams, maybe there is a bit of that. Hard to say.

That is because one of them is wrong.

I've seen various posters claim that we have a hard run home (somebody even said we have the hardest) and others say it's an easy run home.

According to this article, we have neither and are right in the middle of the difficult/easy fixture table.

On the coach (presumably fed by CD) said cats hardest, Melbourne 2nd hardest.

Just a minor point about Swans game R24.

In all likelihood its Buddy's last AFLgame which is as big an event as the 1000th goal game against Geelong.

Tricky Gill set us up beautifully.

No tick against a AFL corporate game at SCG. forget it.

Possibly. Or maybe they will be so far off it he calls it quits a few rounds early.

There’s a real opportunity for Essendon to make and lose another final.

Can't they just not make it and then we can bank another 365 days? 😀

Edited by layzie

I know Fox Footy's analysis goes a bit deeper than just looking at average percentages of opponents for the rest of the season, but pure averages can be very misleading. In Melbourne's case we have 11 games to go but 6 of them are at the MCG and only 3 interstate (1 of which is a home game in Alice Springs against GWS, 1 is against North Melbourne in Hobart, with the final round of the season against Sydney who probably won't have much to play for).

We have no games in Western Australia, South Australia & Queensland. Other teams will have tough away games against Adelaide, Port Adelaide, Brisbane, Gold Coast & Fremantle . The average percentage of opponents for Melbourne is dragged up by games against Collingwood & Brisbane, both of which we play at the MCG.

I'd say, especially with Western Bulldogs & Adelaide losing yesterday we are very-well placed. Wheelo has us a 96.4% chance Top 8, a 73.5% chance Top 4 as of this morning:

  • 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.

  • 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.
