AFLW 2024 - Round 6 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
A GWS flag would be way more impressive than Carlton in my opinion. I rather unwisely had you guys for the spoon, it looked like the players were really unhappy last year, no game plan and I expected this year to be a disaster. What Kingsley has done is incredible.Does my club rate a mention here?
There were alot of punters expecting us to finish bottom 4 this year.
What is it with supporters backing a away.Come on mate, we are only two wins away from doing it.
No they weren't. Had a slow start to the year but were really good after about round 6.From memory Essendon in 93 were pretty much out of the running halfway through the season.
Brizzy have played one game in 4 weeks by preliminary day.We still have a couple of list spots we need to fill before we'd be able to take down Brisbane at the GABBA imo. Would take a miracle next week.
They played in a grand final 4 years ago with the same core of players.A GWS flag would be way more impressive than Carlton in my opinion.

Carlton on the other hand have simply stopped underachieving. They have a premiership window age and experience demographic, multiple number 1 draft picks, two Coleman Medalists and a Brownlow medalist. It’s an indictment on them that they didn’t play finals last year and were struggling so badly early this season. But still, credit to them for turning it around.
Same thing happened in 2021 with The Western Bulldogs, but they did the home prelim team in.GWS are in just as good form - Sydney were not far behind either - Carlton is a bunch of walking wounded right now...Docherty/Acres/Cripps held together with gaffer tape.
The Ken Hinkley of GWS?Leon Cameron was a terrible coach who cost GWS multiple flags.

Kingsley done a wonderful job, but it pretty much confirms my long held opinion that Leon Cameron was a terrible coach who cost GWS multiple flags.
Those 5 players and GWS' current 5 best players.I mean they only have 8 of those 2019 grand final players in their 22 this week - 3 are role players and 1 has had a positional change.
Cameron sucked but this is a new crop of GWS.
Arguably. Briggs would be in our top 5 who wasn't there in 2019. Jeremy Cameron gone since then too.Those 5 players and GWS' current 5 best players.
Plus Taylor.
Would it be the greatest comeback/flag of all time in the AFL?
Where would it rank in Australian sport?
International sport?
Internationally?
Definitely beats the Bulls' three-peats...
I don't know about that. We have beaten the Crows in Adelaide in our last 6 or so games. We consistently pumped Sydney at the Homebush stadium when they were perennial contenders and generally travel very well. Given the fact the teams outside of Victoria travel with such regularity makes it less of a challenge too.I rate West Coast in 2018 as the greatest in recent history.
West Coast played 4 games at the MCG that year, their opponent in the Grand Final played 17.
As we've seen over the last 20 years, for an 'interstate' club to not only win a grand final, but to do it against a Victorian team playing at their home ground where they play 90% of their matches takes some doing.
Adelaide 1998 were 5-7 after 12 games and won the flag from 5th after finishing 13-9. That's probably the closest. They were the reigning premiers though.Probably been bigger outsider upsets like Adelaide in 1998, or The Western Bulldogs in 2016. Would be a big achievement, but Carlton are the most in form team coming in 11-1 their last 12 games.
20-25 years ago, sure.I don't know about that. We have beaten the Crows in Adelaide in our last 6 or so games. We consistently pumped Sydney at the Homebush stadium when they were perennial contenders and generally travel very well.

The Lions, Crows, Eagles and Sydney have had no trouble coming to the G and winning flags.
Your home ground advantage is far greater than ours because we are playing in Melbourne most of the year. If you do something repeatedly you generally become very good at it so travelling is no issue. Kingsley has said as much this week. Anywhere, any time.20-25 years ago, sure.
Eagles two 'recent' flags are v Sydney and Collingwood. 1 of those is irrelevant because it's neutral territory. Sydney, same story, 1 v Eagles and 1 v Hawks.
Your travel schedule is an absolute joke, don't even try to pretend you are on the same page as us. Rest up at home 90% of the year of course the 5 times you have to travel interstate is going to be easier. Travel interstate every second week for 30 years and then we'll assess your away record and see how it stacks up.
How many times has Collingwood even travelled down the highway to Geelong in the last 20 years?
How many trips to Tasmania have they made?
How many games you played in Darwin or Alice?
Your argument "teams outside of Victoria have to travel regularly so its less of a challenge" is laughable.
Does it also work the other way? You guys have to play at home so much its less of a challenge?
