Oh well, an mcg final v Collingwood is probably a better matchup than the a 2v3 mcg home final vs the Lions. Given Hoyne has the Lions equal with us as the best teams in it with 17/25 premeirship metrics filled. Bitter pill to swallow though given WE EARNT that 2nd spot on the ladder.

We either play Collingwood at the G

Or

Brisbane at the Gabba

Prefer the former, and odds have it a 90% chance

Port would probably prefer Brisbane at the GABBA than the Pies at the G IMO. For some reason interstate teams have never feared playing interstate against non-vic sides, regular season or finals.

Total myth that the Gabba is slippery, it's dry from early/mid July onwards. Playing in Brisbane is like playing in Melbourne, just with possibly higher temperatures. Totally different story at the start of the season.

Exactly. It’s why we belted them there last year and why their second half of the season record at the GABBA is worse.

Exactly right! I've said that many times before here but people still fall into this myth. It's the reason their finals record at the Gabba is average too!

Great !  All we need now is Port win  tomorrow and Dees can seriously throw everything at the Swans knowing we will play Wobbly Pies regardless of a win or loss  v swanees. Preferably a win to wreck Tricky Gils SCG corporate circus event. 

Lions will kick goals through the eye of a needle  at the Gabba. Who cares.

Go Port.

Pretty unconvincing win.

Still, they've earned top 2 and finals is a completely different ball game.

'Earned' on the back of an incorrect goal umpiring call in the Carlton v Melbourne game a fortnight ago, you mean.

A much, much better match up in my view.

The Lions are a very good team who have modified their system to beat us - primarily with that chip mark, control game they use.

And unlike the Pies, they also have a forward line that if it clicked at the same time, and they took all their chances, could run up a very big score.

I am much more confident of beating the Pies, who will have no Daicos and Moore first game back from a hammy. 


Did anyone see the ARC review in the Bulldogs v Cats game which was a touched behind, handy zoomed in camera angle they found in 2 weeks.

I reckon if we play Lions in a QF at the Gabba we win!  We have an excellent record there. 

The only reason we lost in round 2 is because May didn't play and Gawn went down in the first 5 minutes and we didn't adjust fast enough.  Mcvee was in his second game and Petty had a shocker.  Lever was a loner ranger down back.

Today's game showed how flaky they are at the Gabba!

Wow the empty seats at Geelong......bunch of sooks

Exactly. Not only is their win/loss record not as strong in 2nd half of seasons (and finals), their winning margins are a lot tighter because the conditions are dry and like playing anywhere else. No adverse humidity, dew and moisture. Just have to look back at this year - they've been unbeaten at the Gabba but only marginally won most of their last lot.

funny to think he played for us in the first game I watched us play live!

They are 1/2 the side they were when they don't get their customary 10 extra free kicks a game. Big reason they've struggled this season. The umps finally saw through them. Only took them 8 years to wake up.

He was a good solid Player, Beveridge. Not a star, but a solid contributor, in a very tough era

I've seen multiple 'behinds' overturned this weekend into 'goals', which were no more 100% clearer than the Petracca kick against Carlton. I suspect they've been given a directive since then. Shame the AFL don't have the credibility to admit an error was made.

I've only been back less than 48 hours so I may be missing something as to why Coll is seen to be an easier QF than Port or Lions.

I noticed they lost a few games recently but they will have Moore, Murphy and McCleery back.  They rested Elliot for half the game last night, Sidebottom played in 2nd gear and everyone will have two days extra rest than us.

If we play Coll and lose we are facing a game each week to the GF and an away PF.    I'd rather an away QF than an away PF.

Now that the Lions have won, I'm hoping for a Port loss tomorrow.

Some good points you make LH and welcome back.

Yes while you were away they had some very wobbly losses including Hawks.

I guess weve beaten Collingwood and perhaps thats why the confidence. Will be good to go watch us play in a final as well.

If we lose, then its a different story and you are correct, it would be a long road home.

  • 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.
