AFLW 2024 - Round 8 - Chat, game threads, injury lists, team lineups and more.
If we lose by 10 goals, we don’t deserve to play finals.. Ladder doesn’t lie..
Win the midfield and we can beat any team - to me everything works when they win the midfield
Still underated by most of the footy world. Also his disposals is better then anyone else in the league imo.
It’s not impossible but I don’t see Carlton going down by much, pretty unlikely to lose at home. Similarly in the form we are in I don’t see Brisbane giving us a bath. Fair chance percentage is going to be important.Unfortunately it's pretty likely that GWS make up the % if we lose and they win.
It's about 50 points total games, and that is highly probable. Also, the last round is likely to produce some floggings. % is irrelevant for Blues. So if they are losing, every chance they roll over in the 4th and just rest players.
A 50 point margin across 2 games is nothing.
I think the AFL should introduce a “Comeback player of the Year” award , like the NFL have. (Last year won by Geno Smith of the Seattle Seahawks). Mason Wood would shit it in. From being delisted to being one of the most crucial guys in our team. He will get a few votes in the Brownlow too.How good has Mason Wood been for the club?
An amazing recruit, not only for his onfield performances (one of the better wingmen in the comp), but also for the example he sets at the club.
Another 23 disposals and 11 marks tonight, and some clutch efforts when we needed them.
Obviously happy with the good win against those xyzs.
Kinda p1ssed off with other results.
However, given our long term mental flakiness, I'm really glad that the team still has to play for their/our own destiny. Who knows what might eventuate, but I want the team to give absolutely everything next week rather than possibly resting on somewhat undeserved laurels.
If we do get to play after next week I want us to have a *ing red hot crack at it. We don't get opportunities like this nearly often enough. None of us want to see that wasted.
Is this before or after you've put 210 in?Won $210 on the pokies
What a night it's been
Agree. The way we are playing we can beat anyone. Bring on September.People are being far too pessimistic. We just had our best win in a decade, it sucks that those two freak results happened but we can’t control that. Play like we have the past 2 weeks and are a shout to beat Brisbane let alone get flogged enough to make a close Giants win a problem. Sydney are playing a top 4 team. There’s something weird going on at the Dogs, I’m pretty convinced they are all over Bevo and there is every chance they s**t the bed against Geelong and Bevo gets the arse. Carlton are the form and possibly best team in the comp (yuck.) A training run against witches hats like the Giants just usually don’t actually help much when coming up against real opposition the next week, especially Carlton who dominate contested possession. The pre finals bye means it’s not a good idea to rest players in the final round for the sake of it as it’s too much time off so can’t see the Blues resting Cripps. Lyon will know that the job isn’t done and won’t let us go in half arsed against the Lions. Enjoy the moment!
If/when we make finals, Membrey plays ahead of Caminiti. That's simply the way it has to be. Hardened bodies and experience wins finals. I would also say the same about Ross if he hadn't injured himself. They may not be superstars, but they do more than simply shore us up.Disagree on Membery
Played well.
The big thing is he sticks his marks.
I love Hammer but right now we look better with Membery in the side. The mix of him, King and Sharman is working.
That was probably his best ever match. Absolutely elite quality ball use, positioning and contribution. If he plays like that every week we are going to push any side. That was as good as anything you get from the absolute superstars of the comp. To do it in a big match against last year's premier was fantastic timing.

Yep, Sincs was unbelievable last night. Out and out star of the competition. Takes responsibility and wants the ball in his hands to make things happen.... then executes beautifully.
Was a fun match last night!Probably should be a post in the Brisbane game thread but is yesterdays 22 our side? Has Cordy gone ahead Howard? Has Sharman gone ahead of Caminti? Or does Caminti trump Membery?
I feel like the only possible improvement on that 22 would be an in form Coffield?
AgreeCarlton aren't going to want to rest players and just wobble into finals either. Likely getting players back and need to play them into form while creating some cohesion. Playing in Melbourne and you'd be thinking that a GWS win is very unlikely. Carlton are still trying to build credibility, no way they just take the foot off now.
Melbourne could definitely lose to the Hawks and have to beat Sydney to make top 4 too. They are still a dominant side. Geelong should knock off the Dogs down there too. Probably the last game for a few Cats at the ground that they have lost 15 games in a decade or something.
We should finish 6th.
