Regular Season Over - but the Pies have made the Finals

[Presti35]

With the comps final 2 rounds being cut and the finals series starting this weekend, it means Collingwoods AFLW season is over.

Currently 4th in conference B, only the top three teams qualify.

We finish with the 5th best record in the league and the 3rd best percentage. We finish equal on points with third placed Melbourne.

Our only 2 losses coming against Freo by 3 points and Melbourne by 20. We don't get the chance to play St Kilda or Geelong whilst Melbourne and Carlton both miss a game against league leaders Fremantle.

Winning our final 2 games was a huge possibility and had one of Melbourne or Carlton dropped a game, we would have made it.

A Collingwood/Carlton Qualifying Final would have been nice, but it's likely we would have had to go to WA to face Freo in the Prelim before probably facing North in the GF.

Still, I think they had the team to go close. Oh well.

We are still in it. There are 8 teams (top 4 from each conference) in the AFLW finals.

Thanks for fixing that up Bucks5.

Well we're in then. No Excuses now.

I think that's a fair outcome too. Well done to the AFL for sorting this out.

Can we beat North?

[BazBoy]

On our day we can beat any one

[23 YIPPEE!!!]

Who do we play in the quarter final I assume its a quarter final then semi and GF system

[23 YIPPEE!!!]

we play north at ikon sat 21st march again no spectators and the winner plays winner of gws or Melbourne again no crowds allowed.

[23 YIPPEE!!!]

its semi finals then prelim then GF.If the pies make it to the prelim then they've done very well.

[Pies4shaw]

I think we should play in the Grand Final first, in case they have to call the competition off after 1 or 2 games.

[Presti35]

Good Luck today Pies.

Game kicking off in 30 minutes.

[Presti35]

And now the season is over.

[23 YIPPEE!!!]

Still got the VFL W coming up where we can go back to back

[23 YIPPEE!!!]

AFL W stops immediately no more AFL w and vfl w no longer going ahead in 2020

[Bucks5]

No premiership to be awarded in the AFLW either.

[What'sinaname]

AFLW might not exist next year. If AFL needs to cut costs, surely the competition that makes little to no revenue and is heavily subsidised will be the first to go.

[Presti35]

We lost 2 games by under a goal. One to the favourite to take the flag (Freo, and over in WA too). And one to North in the elimination final. (North were second fave). We also lost to Melb by 20.

TBH, we should have held on against North. But I guess it doesn't matter now anyway.

With three Vic teams and one from WA, I wonder if there was only Vic teams left if they'd finish it off? Possibly playing the PF's on Wednesday and the GF on Sunday.

Oh well.
