I have Hawthorn winning 2, Port Adelaide winning 2, Sydney winning 2 & Essendon winning 0.

Which means Port Adelaide still makes the finals! However Hawthorn could just as easily win 3 & Port and Sydney only win 1 each which would mean the Hawks make the finals.

Not only will Essendon make the 8th spot, but they will do so by beating all three of the Saints, Freo and Hawthorn.

You heard it here first.

Well, I wouldn't hear it from anywhere where people were posting aiming to make logical sense. Why did I spend my time making a serious post to get a biased, one eyed Essendon supporter reply like that? schmucta80, you wouldn't bet serious money on what you posted because you wouldn't want to throw your money away.

ok, logical?

Western Bulldogs over the West Coast Eagles, in Melb???

Who would have thrown their money away on something like this??

Big chance mate,,, well done!
hope you backed em!

Well done schmucta80. Hope you put some money on Essendon and made a killing.

Thanks fellas, was quite a rewarding weekend, and some all ups still going into the future...


Now just need to beat Fremantle and Hawthorn or all the hard work will be undone.

The way I see it neither Essendon or Hawthorn deserve to be in the finals. How can a club deserve to be in the finals and compete for the right to be called the premiers of that year when they cant even win 50% of their games?

agree totally marcus.... they should change it to the top 7 this year!!
In saying that, as a crow supporter, 5th spot looks good to be up against one of them in the first week of finals..
