Well, there is just one top 4 spot up for grabs now.

We need the Tigers to lose one game and we win both to claim 4th.

Given both games are at the G, I reckon we won't have a chance to claim a top 4 spot.

[Raw Hammer]

Actually, if WCE lose to Richmond next week and then lose to Hawthorn in Perth the final round, we will take their spot if we win our next two games (currently 8 points behind, and just 3.1% points). Unlikely, but stranger things have happened.

Question will hawthorn make finals I hope they don’t

[BazBoy]

Tiggers play two top sides and if they only win one that give them 15 wins

We win both and that gives us 15 also

Their percent now 112.8
Ours 113.9

We have the chance I suspect to increase ours but doubt they do

Nail biting stuff

[David]

Probably need that to happen now. Don’t think West Coast loses to Hawthorn, and even if Brisbane go 0–2 (which is entirely possible) their percentage gap on us is too big now.

[BazBoy]

I’m only looking at Tiggers to pinch their spot cos that’s possible

Climbing past 4 for us a bridge too far

[David]

Anyway, results went mostly as expected this round, Friday night (and the size of the Bulldogs’ win) aside. Here’s what I’m coming up with now:

1. Geelong 64 130.2%
2. Brisbane 64 120.8%
3. West Coast 64 117.1%
4. Richmond 64 112.7%
5. GWS 56 120.7%
6. Collingwood 56 112.4%
7. Port Adelaide 44 108.0%
8. Adelaide 44 106.7%

9. Western Bulldogs 44 101.4%
10. Essendon 44 92.8%
11. Hawthorn 40 102.5%
12. North 40 97.8%
13. Fremantle 40 96.8%

On that, our path to a grand final might look something like

EF vs Port Adelaide (MCG)
SF vs Geelong (MCG)
PF vs Brisbane (Gabba)
GF vs Richmond (MCG)

Not a bad run, actually!

Will hawks miss finals

[David]

Yes, if they don't win enough games and other results don't go their way. But it's not guaranteed.

[BazBoy]

R B. Maybe 5th a better bet as for argument sake it was Port Adelaide week one we wouldn’t play at Adelaide Oval

[RudeBoy]

Nooooo. It's always better to finish in the top 4 than out of it. The double chance is very valuable, especially for us, with players returning from injury.

[BazBoy]

Yep thats a good point
