AFLW - R7 - Carlton vs Brisbane

[kruddler]

OK, so one round to go and it seems there is an ever so slight hope that we can still make the finals.

Courtesy of the Dees beating the crows yesterday.

We currently sit 4th @ 3-3.
Crows+Dees are 2nd+3rd @4-2

We need to beat the lions
and
we need the crows to lose against colingwood
we need the dees to lose against freo.

Then it will be a 3-way tie on 4-3, which will come down to %.

We are already ahead of Dees, so we just need to focus on the crows.
We basically need a 10 goal difference between us to make up the %.
They lose by 1 point, we win by 10 goals
they lose by 5 goals, we win by 5 goals.
They lose by 10 goals, we win by a point.
etc

So...if Adelaide win, they are in.
If Adelaide lose, and melbourne win, melbourne are in.
If Adelaide lose and melbourne lose and carlton win....and (Adelaides losing margin + Carltons winning margin) > 10 goals, Carlton are in.

Clear as mud?

IF we do get through, we would be forced to go back to back games against the team we just beat to make the finals, Brisbane Lions, except the final would be at their ground (i believe).

In any event, lets just win and finish with a winning record for the year.

How about, I'm expecting a Bulldogs vs Melbourne grand final with Melbourne winning?

Not sure exactly what you are getting at with this, but Brisbane are guaranteed finals.

I'll confess I wasn't paying attention to anyone else's matches and thought it was the usual contrived scenario with the pioneers of women's footy making the grand final and one of them winning.

Why?

Because it's an AFL competition.

Thry, you're far too young to be so cynical.  Leave that to the older folk

I'm not going to get back to Melbourne in time to see this one - I'll e coming back from Hervey Bay. Hopefully the Blues can finish off the season the right way.

With the dees winning today...it puts us out of the race for the grand final next week.  :'(

Thanks for summarising the state of AFLW Kruddler.

In any event, lets just win and finish with a winning record for the year.

Can't say I followed it all, but with this ∆∆∆ I concur.

Go Bluebirds

While that's disappointing, we simply didn't play well enough to earn a spot in the grand final.  I reckon we will have learnt plenty (as will have the other clubs) and it should be a cracker competition next season.

[crashlander]

Our best possible outcome now is 3rd and that is not likely.
Nichevo. Let's see if we can finish the season on a high.
