What a weekend we've just had.
Here's a quick recap of what happened.
Friday night. Bulldogs beat the Cats to secure a top 4 spot.
Saturday at Docklands the Blues easily dealt with the Demons.
Adelaide won comfortably at home against the Eagles.
Saturday Night at the Gabba the Lions were too good for the Power.
At the MCG the Hawks beat the Tigers.
Sunday at Docklands the Roos pull off a massive upset against the Saints.
Collingwood do it easy against the Swans at the G
and Fremantle demolish the Bombers at Subiaco.
Here's how we're looking for the final round of AFL home and away football.
Friday night at Subiaco. Oh, what an anticlimax. West Coast play Richmond. This game has no bearing on the finals whatsoever. Richmond out to impress their new coach. If it can work for the Kangas against the best team in the league, who knows?
West Coast by 3 goals.
Saturday afternoon at Skilled Stadium the Cats play the Dockers. Again, no bearing on finals football.
Geelong by 10 goals.
At the MCG the Hawks play the Bombers. The winner will most likely get the 8th spot on the ladder. If its Essendon, they will be safe. If its Hawthorn, Port still have an outside chance.
Hawthorn by 3 goals.
Saturday at twilight at Docklands, the 3rd game on in Victoria on Saturday. Carlton and Adelaide. This match will decide 5th spot. If either team win big, there's a small chance of 4th. but they'd need to get 7 percent on the Bulldogs.
Carlton by 2 goals.
Saturday night at the SCG, the Swans play the Lions. The Swans can't make the 8. If the Lions win they will jump the loser of Adelaide/Carlton and get home ground advantage for the first week.
Lions by 5 goals.
And the 5th game on Saturday is in Adelaide. If Port Adelaide beat the Roos by a lot, and Hawthorn Beat Essendon by a little, they can make it in to the 8. Probably won't happen, but you never know. Especially after North Melbourne's performance last week.
Port by 4 goals.
Sunday afternoon at the MCG. St. Kilda have a fair bit of dignity to make up. Its lucky for them (and Geelong) to have such seemingly easy matches right before finals. Saints have Melbourne. They may as well play against witches hats and tackle bags.
St. Kilda by 10 goals.
And the final game of the H & A year is Collingwood and Bulldogs and is one of the bigger games this round. If the Bulldogs win big they could get 3rd and play the Cats again. Otherwise they will play the Saints, who are vulnerable at the moment.
Collingwood by 3 goals.
Which will leave the final ladder looking like this:
St. Kilda
Geelong
Collingwood
Western Bulldogs
Carlton
Brisbane
Adelaide
Hawthorn
Good luck.
