Based on how the last round has gone so far, we are locked in to 5th spot, which is as good as we could hope for.

Adelaide play Fremantle today.....whoever wins goes 7th and knocks the Eagles down to 8th.
We will then play Eagles (again) in week 1 of the finals.....this time at home.
(If crows/freo draw, we play Freo at home)

If/when we win in week 1, we play the loser of 1vs4
Assuming Brisbane (4th) will beat Collingwood (15th) it will mean Kangaroos play Hawthorn in week 1 of finals.
This will mean we will almost certainly play Hawks in Week 2 of the finals....at Hawthorn.

If we manage to win that, we will end up playing, most likely, against Melbourne or Brisbane in week 3 (Hopefully Melbourne beat Brisbane in Week 1, meaning most likely play Melbourne in week 3)

Then it would be GF where we'd meet the all conquering Kangaroos and hopefully end their legacy for fairytale season.


Short version, 5th means we avoid Kangas and potentially don't leave Melbourne for finals.

I'm not going to argue this one.
Folks will have their own opinion as to the legitimacy of the claim.
From my point of view I find it a bit bizarre comparing records over two completely different competitions.

Who has the most tennis singles grand slam wins?
Most people will tell you it's djokovic with 24.
However margaret court also had 24.
Did that not count because its a different competition?
You can do similar with golf etc





what's the world record for the 100 metres dash?

Do women's have a seperate world record?

You can say what you have said, and its correct, but im sure that we wouldnt cross code those streaks if other sports yielded a team with this record.

It actually loses credibility to attempt to do so.

You’re right Lods, it’s a meaningless comparison.  A bit like giving a winning run in the Ammos the same status as a winning run in the VFL … or a WAFL record and an AFL record.

AFLW is not AFL.
Records shouldn't cross over.

One competition has been running for over 120 years.
A fledgling competition in it's infancy will always throw up skewed results like this.
It's only just settled on its final make-up.
In effect, it's only just beginning.

It's a fine achievement, but is in no-way comparable to the efforts of a team like Geelong.
I understand the need to promote the women's game but let it be against it's own standard.
It'll actually be easier in respect of most records not to be compared.

A record is a record.

It doesn't overshadow what the cats of 70+ years ago did, it just highlights that what we are in right now is a very unique situation.

SBS are reporting North Melbourne have broken a 72 year old record.
The most consecutive wins, beating Geelongs 1952-53 record.
Seriously ::)
