AFLW - R7 - Carlton vs Brisbane March 12, 2017, 10:22:09 am 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 @4-2We need to beat the lionsand we need the crows to lose against colingwoodwe 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 goalsthey lose by 5 goals, we win by 5 goals.They lose by 10 goals, we win by a point.etcSo...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.

Re: AFLW - R7 - Carlton vs Brisbane Reply #3 – March 12, 2017, 09:10:41 pm 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.

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. Quote Selected

I enjoyed watching their inaugural season. Quote Selected

Re: AFLW - R7 - Carlton vs Brisbane Reply #14 – March 19, 2017, 06:43:08 pm Well I was hoping we'd finish with a strong performance. I wasn't expecting anything like this nail biting finish. It all unfolded in the final, what, 30 seconds. Unbelievable. Take note boys. The girls composure at that critical time was memorable.Could not finish on a stronger note than that Congratulations to our girls and their support crew. Wonderful inaugural performance. I'm still pinching myself. Quote Selected
