I can't see how they have any motivation to win? They are now fourth. They have a guaranteed final in Sydney. Top four finish locked up. Why risk winning and getting a final away in Adelaide?

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.

Saints need to beat Carlton for Freo to finish 8th

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.

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
