    Looms as an awesome last few rounds. Top teams hanging on, few teams at the bottom who might have something to prove. Nobody really in full tank mode.

    You'd have to think the Lions get one of the next two. Surely. Maybe? Would still rather be them than the Dogs.

    Our best is still the best in the comp, but our injury toll is horrific, and Lachie Neale is a huge out. We should get the 1 we need to play finals and that might be enough as the top 8 is incredibly even.

    But even if we miss i can't wait for the finals, every team will be thinking they are a chance.

    Yeah I don't really think end finishing position matters a whole lot this year, as long as you are in the eight.

    @barbarian said in AFL 2025:

    as long as you are in the eight.

    If the table I'm looking at is right we are. Yay, yay.

    We on 64, 9th placed Bulldogs on 52 with two games left, best they can do then is 60.

    Game this week v Collingwood for the minor premiership, give or take mathematicals.

    Also, if the ladder I'm looking at is right, why have GC and Essendon only played 20 games, and everybody else has played 21?

    because the Qld games on the opening weekend got washed out, and they were unable to reschedule the Suns game (Lions and Geelong both had a bye in like week 3 and played then).
    They will play two games in the last round

    The team that I'd be worried about is Freo. Host Brisbane and then go away to the Dogs. Win one of them and they are home, but I'm unsure if they have it in them.

    Which will mean two years in a row they miss out on the eight in the final game...

    So we sneak the win and go to 68. Geelong can still catch us with 2 wins, but one would hope we beat North Melbourne.

    Then the real business begins.

    And so to the last weekend.

    The top 2 have gimmes with Adelaide hosting North, and Geelong playing the even worse Richmond.
    Collingwood host Melbourne. They'll definitely play finals now, but must win to finish top 4
    Gold Coast are at the moment out of the 8, but have two games they really should win in Port and Essendon. They only need to win one to play finals, win both and if results go their way they could make top 4.
    GWS host the improving Saints. Will play finals, a win gives them a top 4 hope.
    Dogs hosting Freo is now an eliminator. Win and you're in, lose and you are hoping for an almighty choke from the Suns.
    Last game of the weekend is the Lions hosting the Hawks. Winner gets a top 4 spot.

    Incredible season, 15 wins AND percentage just to make the 8

    reports NWM is about to sign a 2-year massive money contract to stay at the Saints. Good

    Yeah that's great news. Think it was really needed for the integrity of the comp.
