It's the way we are finishing games that is the gamechanger for me this year. Finals are about who is toughest for the longest and as opposed to last year when we were hobbling off the field our guys look like they could play another game then and there.

In regards to the defensive indicators, there have been times and yesterday in particular where we've conceded a few marks inside 50 and there is a threat that things could go to bits but more often that not that defensive unit has managed to sort themselves out and get back to killing the danger and relieving the pressure by hitting a target. If they give up a goal, no problem, ithey put it  behind them and it's about the next contest.

It would be almost perfect if we had Petty out there and losing Melksham is a bummer but nothing goes perfect for anyone in a premiership campaign. We will back our selection and whoever comes in to do the job. Perfection is not required, doing your role is.

Like Big Kev, I'm excited! 

Without wanting to get ahead this is probably what excites me.

He'll be like a brand new recruit inside our forward 50 and I have already tipped that if he has an injury free year he'll kick over 50 goals next season.

Time to change that flight! 😅

I'm a touch annoyed about the Thursday night but I guess it makes some sense that all other games have teams travelling and interstate travel on a weeknight would be very difficult for those fans.

We have to be happy to have a final in Melbourne when we finished 4th. Let's GO Dees!!! 

no can do unfortunately. i never thought for a second this would be scheduled for a thurs night.

I have made sure no further travel for the rest of September.

My understanding is the highest ranked team hosts the Friday night prelim.

If Collingwood beat us, they will host the Friday night prelim.

If we beat Collingwood, Brisbane (or Port) host the Friday night and we get the Saturday prelim.

Either we’ll be playing the Saturday prelim should we get there.

So Port get a 6 day break if they lose and we beat the Pies?

This is illustrated by Petracca's final quarters the last 2 months. Maybe its the extra time spent up forward but watch him fly from contest to contest at the end of games.  He is absolutely in peak condition.

I've said it before, we are a great team but we simply go to another level of dominance if he kicks well. When he finds targets inside 50 or the goals that's 4-8 half chances other players don't and cant create.  Unfortunately it's pretty random right now.

Its a nonsense Have a great game guys

There have been Thursday finals for a while now. Richmond (1) played Hawthorn (4)  on a Thursday in 2018 and our elimination final against the Cats was on the Friday.

Yep. I’ll have to take 2 days off work to go.

 

After the heartbreak of missing out in 2021 because of Covid, I’m just happy to be able to go!

Thursday sucks but for finals I’ll make it happen. 

For those of you that are old fashioned like me and have a swipe card to get into games your barcode will be on the bottom of the card.

Great to know.  Getting a little nervous, because I still haven't received an email from the club on this.  I'm not sure why it couldn't have been ready and sent either Sunday or as soon as the AFL anouced their finals fixture this morning - or is it a matter of waiting for the ticket sellers to setup the link on thier site? (Which I'm still not sure why it couldn't be really as soon as the AFL makes their announcement.)

Surprised there's not a lot of pushback from cfc. They usually get what they want 

on the Thursday night aspect? I think it is well known that we don't have enough die hard supporters willing to turn up on a Thursday night. I wouldn't be surprised if this is what Collingwood actually wanted to get the crowd advantage. 

We just have to turn up. It is that simple.

Yep the Thursday night.

We usually get a good number to the Anzac game. That's a Thursday isn't it?

I don't get to many as I live interstate.

Not opposed to the idea but given cfc were minor premiers they should bet the premier time slot, which is Friday.

Yeah that is really a peculiar outcome. I would have thought they had significant influence on the decision to host it on Thursday night. And really the only factors would be how to maximise crowd advantage and recovery. The other not so obvious factor would be for the additional recovery for the team that loses and will likely play on Friday night the following week. 

 

Also why does the loser of 1v4 play winner of 5v8 ? I would have thought that bracket should be playing the winner 6v7, given.

  • 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.
