Just a reminder that Geelong had a 100pt win in round 23 in 2018 and then went goalless in the first qtr against us and lost their elimination final.

We also had a 10 goal victory in round 23 last year at the GABBA and then got rolled in the QF.

So take the Collingwood win with a grain of salt.

But also, in the last round of the 2011 season Geelong smashed Collingwood by nearly 100 and won the flag. 

Will see how it goes.

    Well, that sorts out one part of the puzzle, and an MCG final becomes more likely: now, the less-likely outcome of one of Brisbane or Port losing is required for it to be otherwise, if/when we win. If the really unlikely scenario occurs - that they both lose - we get a home final regardless of our result!

    Saturday night's D'Land chat will be fun!

    Essendon are just really really really really really sure the issues are with poor coaching choices.

    Now it's Brisbane's turn, they have to win their game.

    Wow 3 goals Essendon. Great game for Friday night football.

    And to think a couple of months ago they were 5th & the media actually bought up a potential top 4 finish.

    Haven't Essendon fans had a great 2 weeks 😂

    Bombers 11 wins consisted of 4 against north and WC

    still a rabble

    7000 days without winning a final

    Rutten was a better coach than Scott  at least the defence was tighter

    loving it!!

    Well, that was a damp squib last night. I hope the rest of the round isn't as dull.

    Interesting to see how the Dogs respond tonight. Going into the Cattery at $1.55, a venue they haven’t been victorious at since 2003.

    That game was a dead rubber as Collingwood had already sewn up top spot and rested a couple. Still, it wasn’t an ideal lead in for them. I think us playing Sydney is a great lead in as they’re a high pressure side and will have a home final to play for.

    Bashing your head into a brickwall type of fun I reckon.

    Perversely my favourite match now is watching in Hope for the cats to get smashed at home tonight.

    And a win against Hawks and only five interstate games excluding Gather round.

    I still can't see how we lost that QF

    You’d be happy then Goffy?

    Very happy and I played it beautifully; switched off at half time.

    I will give Geelong the benefit with all their injured players being legit but a win this week might have had them missing the eight by that goal to the swans last week. Would that have given them grounds to have a word to the AFL about more favours.

    Hope the Dees really compete tomorrow and thrash Sydney in the dead rubber

    Not the time to go easy We must make a statement and be a real contender

    I'm guessing if you're an Essendon player you would not want to turn up day 1 of pre season unfit or not motivated

    I turned off the Pies v Bombers game before 1/4 time, and watched a B grade movie on Netflix instead. At least watching Gal Gadot strut across the screen was pleasing to the eye, as opposed to that basket case of a football match.

    I have to admit though, that the game standard and result gave me delight in 2 ways:

    1. The Bombers look pathetic and miss finals again
    2. Pies supporters think their game plan will stack up in finals

    Why Suns, if Roos win we could possibly do a deal with WC for 1?

    It won’t happen of course.

    I can’t see us getting pick 1, so want the Suns to finish above Freo to give us a better pick

    • AFLW PREVIEW: Port Adelaide

      The undefeated Demons venture across the continent to the spiritual home of the Port Adelaide Football Club on Saturday afternoon for the inaugural match for premiership points between these long-historied clubs. Alberton Oval will however, be a ground familiar to our players following a practice match there last year. We lost both the game and Liv Purcell, who missed 7 home and away matches after suffering facial fractures in the dying moments of the game.

    • 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.
