Round 22
Firstly, in hindsight a good decision by the AFL to implement a 'floating fixture' for round 22. Seems that sides higher up the ladder will get a reasonable rest leading into week 1 of the finals, more importantly a side finishing higher isn't disadvantaged in terms of a break against a lower opponent.
Freo just managed to hang on against a fast finishing Carlton to win by a goal after leading at 3/4 time by 29 points.
This means Freo host a home final next week against Carlton or Hawthorn.
The outcome of Brisbane v Sydney determines when we take on Collingwood. If Sydney win, we play Saturday night, if Brisbane win, we play on Friday night.
85, 92, 97, 98, 08, 09, 10... Break the curse!
