The Biggest Tank Battle since...

Featured Replies

Posted

Given all the talk about draft picks and who might tank etc etc etc

I note our last 3 fixtures with interest:

Round 20 V West Coast at the G

Round 21 V Port at AAMI

Round 22 v Richmond at the G

Things could get interesting

 

there will be no need for tanking we will be that far last it wont be funny i expect richmond to win at least 6 games this year and even the eagles might pinch a couple at home...

wont be relevant

Agree the tigers are on 2 and a half wins, have to play us 2 more times and carltank as well, prob freo over here as well as wet toast

they should get to 6 wins easy

 

SURELY we are not suggesting the WEAGLEs will continue their horrible form. Port are pretty awful, but to fall this far form runners up last year is a bit rich. Both the eagles and Port should have racked up a few more wins by round 20. I hate to say it, we are just THAT far off the comp this season it hurts.

i won't feel comfortable with carlton until they get there 5 wins.

i mean seirously...if they have only 4 wins by round 10 they'll probably lose the next 12 and claim Naitanui and Rich.

but seriously... carlton only need 3 more wins for the year, and richmond only 2...so i think we're pretty safe.

and Port and WCE will definietly win 5. they'v got interstate advantage also which helps

All these teams are rebuilding @ different stages, don't trust any of them in a good draft year .

Are you serious?

You can't be sugesting that Port will be staying where they are!!!

They will easily finish top 6 ...they have too many guns in that team.

Your right they should, I had them top 4. However they were smashed big time last year after a quick Mark Williams minirefurbish, I just wonder if MW has decided that to be successfull they need a little bit more or this or that.

Well they've got the majority of their team on the field, save for Priddis and Hansen (whose overrated anyway), and they're not really putting up much of a fight. Kerr can't cope with being no. 1 instead of 2 or 3, Lynch is starved of opportunity now that the midfield is worse... sometimes clubs just have bad years so i think W.C. will do pretty bad. Not bad enough to win 4 or less, but they won't make finals

  • 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

  • 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.
