    Absolutely agree finishing fourth helps GWS. And they would also avoid playing us or Hawks in second week of finals.

      Ok, looking at how things stand on Saturday afternoon I think this is the best case scenario (in order of importance):

      We beat GWS
      Essendon beat Brisbane
      Freo beat Port (preferably by enough to see Port drop to second)

      This leaves the ladder looking like this:

      Sydney
      Geelong
      Port
      GWS

      WB
      Hawks
      Brisbane
      Freo

      We'd likely want to avoid going to Adelaide, so whether Port finish 2nd or 3rd we'd likely want a Geelong win.

      This would unlock a potential finals run of Freo, Sydney, Geelong, GF (GWS/Port/Hawks/Brisbane) which I think would be the best path.

          Yeah, you are right- I forgot to add that in. That is one I expect will just happen- based on form I can?t see Carlton getting anywhere near them.

            Farewell old friend. Hope not to see you bumped next year.

              If it's to figure out the best matchups for finals with us secure in having a top 4 finish minimum I'd be happy to see the thread again

              The only way we don't see it is if we're so shit we can't even make finals

                What if we don’t lose at all next year?

                    Aren't Collingwood still a mathematical chance? Media aren't ready to stop fapping over Daicos until Brownlow night
