Assuming we beat Hawthorn we basically need to tank the last game against Sydney.

Yeah, I reckon tanking is the wrong word (or description) for teams resting their starters prior to the finals

Bottom teams aiming at a draft pick number do not want to win

But teams 'preparing' for finals aren't necessarily effected by a win or a loss

Those teams are simply resting their starters in dead rubbers and therefore, not risking injury to their best players

When it all came to pass we lost too many by under a kick. Fact.

And the pies won many by a similar margin... why they are coasting on top and we are a chance to miss top 4. We need to convert those close ones onto wins! Which is what I'm guessing, you are pointing out

It is a real tough one @Macca it will be 3 weeks since there last game if we rest players.

We will know at 7.20 pm next Saturday night what we need to do.

But it's not like they'd be couch-potatoing (is that gramatically correct?)

They'd still be training and simulating match practice

These days, the best are plug-in-and-play

I'm more concerned with injuries than rust


Can't be considered tanking when your 4th on the ladder surely?

I like preparing for finals, though it wont go down well with the media tools.

We must finish 4th and play a depleted pies at home. Make it happen Goodwin!

I reckon the pies are resting tired players, rather than depleted. Good management.

I'd rather play Bris or Port at the G. We f 'ed up last week

Im genuinely conflicted in my thinking here.

I can now see why collingwood rested these players tonight instead of next week.

Downside is they have now lost 3 in a row.

Time will tell.

 

Don’t care where in top 4 we finish.

win 5 straight and we’re all celebrating like crazy again.

anyone, anywhere, anytime

Lost 3 of 4, no way are they resting, they are not in a good shape right now and are ripe for the picking. It’s not easy to just flick the switch

Would you rather play Coll, Bris or Port at the G, finals 1st week after a bye???

That's the big question

I don't believe the Collingwood hierarchy would be concerned

With the weekend off and a home QF final in front of tens of 1000's of crazed Pie fans, they'll be up and running on the day (maybe even with the wunderkind available)

They've previously earned a top 2 spot and that's where their thinking is at (in my view)

Tonight's game was not about Collingwood being at their best

 

Edited by Macca

Also Brisbane can still finish top and Collingwood 2nd so we would still need to win both and finish 3rd but Port could win both and finish 3rd and play Collingwood if they dont beat Essendon.

This is literally Fugged!

Really difficult to gauge the thinking of the club with the possible dilemma we are about to face.

If we beat the Hawks on Sunday we have sew up 4th spot and a possible game against QF against Collingwood and the G Friday night/Saturday Arvo week 1.

That game against Sydney throws up all sorts of possibilities, I've played enough sport to know you don't want to flirt with your form.

The thought of an away QF at a dewy Gabba track and air travel does not entice me in any, way, shape or form i can only imagine what the players and coaching staff thoughts are on it.

Smart play would be to obviously stay in Melbourne and play a banged up Collingwood.

Enough food for thought lets just beat these Dawks on Sunday.

The stupid loses to freo & gws have cost us 2nd spot, the best result is finishing 4th if pies finish 1st or they lose to Essendon & finish 2nd & port loses 1 game & we win our last 2 & finish 3rd to play pies 😂😂😂😂

Perhaps, but some would say we were lucky in a couple of close ones we won too, for instance, against the Lions and perhaps the Suns. Whereas bitterly unlucky against Carlton and Port (where dubious frees and marks from bump balls got them over the line in the end)

Edited by Glorious Day

It is what it is in the end. Any of the top 5 can realistically beat anyone on their day. Our key now is to make sure our game plan is working smoothly, players are in form and we have no more serious injuries (bit of luck needed there). Whoever we end up playing in the Qualifying Final, and where, so be it, we can win it.

Biffen was also sent to Siberia to break rocks.

Well said. I'm over worrying about the permutations of games not involving my club. Anyone anywhere is the attitude I've got and know the club feel the same as we should. I don't fear any team at any venue

When it's all said and done, we all barrack for the same footy team

@cowboy_from_hell used to say the same thing all the time and he was right

By the way, he was the OP of that infamous thread ... "Relax, we've got 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

  • 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.
