AFLW 2024 - Round 9 - Indigenous Round - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
Sensing an 2004 rematch.
It’s about as exciting last 3 weeks as you can get.Next week is another season defining round. 8-point games everywhere.
We win and it will give us an edge over one of Brisbane/Giants, Freo/Geelong, Carlton/Hawks, Collingwood/Swans.
The AFL loves the North Eastern states aswell as VicThis week, due to no vic teams in the top 4, I reckon us and Sydney and one of Brissy or GWS more GWS will get the Bret Hart Montreal screw job treatment from the umps.
Absolutely nobody here would be getting ahead of themselves unless they're on meth.Let's not get ahead of ourselves, we know how we do in finals
I mean, both their colours aren't that much different from the main colour of orange of GWS. They do have different guernseys but this one of this times there's no ideal answer. I'm not a fan of forcing teams to wear a guernsey that's not one of their club colours but this would be one time that maybe they need to.How the fk does hawthorn not have a suitable clash strip?
Such an amateur organisation the afl is
Will be us against Melbourne like our earlier end when we were killing themThis week, due to no vic teams in the top 4, I reckon us and Sydney and one of Brissy or GWS more GWS will get the Bret Hart Montreal screw job treatment from the umps.
Again, Lions were like, 1.60, gamble responsibly but that's just giving away money.Pray for edgie & Playthekids76 it's a rough day for them
Let it not be forgotten the Victorian fairytale only extends so far. The AFL'S policy toward St Kilda is, **** St Kilda.That’s pretty depressing for them considering they’ve been waiting 58 years.
Thanks for the stats, they're surprising and it's making me doubt all AFL ratings points as X and Bonner don't appear to be all that much better. I wonder if it's because they're playing in a lower ranked team.AFL.com.au will answer your question, however I'm happy to assist if you aren't capable -
Rating points -
Duursma - Port 23: 160, Ess 24: 262 (YTD)
Amon - Port 22: 366, Hawks 23:370, 24: 342 (YTD)
Bonner - Port 22: 202, 23: 171, Saints 24: 218 (YTD)
All performing more productively at other clubs.
Sensing an 2004 rematch.
20 years later still the top 2
Yep - if Geelong were to earn a home final against say Collingwood, Carlton or Essendon then I have no doubt the AFL would schedule that game at the MCG, citing capacity and 'crowd' numbers. Not so if it's an interstate team.surely they'll make it so Geelong and Brisbane host Qualifiers, maybe Freo and the Dogs hosting Elims
The main thing I want to see now is as little changes to the structure as possible.If brisvegas get two home finals (which is just about a certainty) they will be one of the grand finalists and would probably start favourites regardless of the oppo given their effort in last year's granny and the old `you have to lose one to win one!'
That aside if Port can be on the other side of the draw, dodge them and win a prelim we would have to be a chance at a neutral venue, particularly if kern is still channelling his 2014 game plan, ala against the swans.
Continuing that attacking style instead of the slow the game down and the too often backwards and sideways approach to goal, with a game plan more reminiscent of the 2014 finals where we were very stiff not to get to the big dance, and hopefully not c****** up yet another final's opportunity is unfortunately the $64 question.
The only chance of Victorian Finals not being played at the MCG would be if all four games were in going to be in Melbourne. Then the Saturday afternoon Elimination Final might get moved to Marvel. ala 2013 Finals. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2013_AFL_finals_seriesYep - if Geelong were to earn a home final against say Collingwood, Carlton or Essendon then I have no doubt the AFL would schedule that game at the MCG, citing capacity and 'crowd' numbers. Not so if it's an interstate team.
Playing a finals game at Docklands against the Bulldogs should not scare us in the slightest.
How we perform against Freo in the last H&A game will be the test of whether we've truly lifted our game to be capable of beating Brisbane in finals.
Freo are going to the mother of all reamings from the umps this week you'd thinkYep - if Geelong were to earn a home final against say Collingwood, Carlton or Essendon then I have no doubt the AFL would schedule that game at the MCG, citing capacity and 'crowd' numbers.

That's the thing we could actually finish first and have no AAs in the 2024 squadLol at the AFL sites choose your AA team.
Only Houston and Butters make the short list of port players
