How nice to have a competition for all finals spots only a few weeks out from the finals, so heres the thing, what will be the final 8, in order and who's your pick to go all the way?

Here's mine:

Hawthorn

Sydney

Adelaide

Collingwood

West Coast

Geelong

Essendon

North Melbourne

Hawthorn to win the lot in a tight Final against Sydney.

I couldn't give a **** about the meltdown, it has already happened many times this season and it'll happen again at some stage.

I think GC have hit some solid form and we are practically a spent force for the season.

We don't have anyone the quality of Ablett, we have key outs with injuries, and we're looking more tired each week.

I really don't care because it's been plain to see for months.

What we really need is a solid preseason. The injection of quality youth will help, but we need to do our best to improve what we already have. We can't be constantly rebuilding and hoping to win the lottery with a draft pick.

GWS won't win another game.

They've solidly hit the rookie wall, and the veterans don't have it in them to play out the season either.

The losses will get bigger.

So many games that shape this in the final few rounds. After going through the ladder predictor on the AFL website, I came up with:

Sydney

Adelaide

Hawthorn

West Coast

Collingwood

Geelong

North

Essendon

------------------

St Kilda

Freo

Carlton

Richmond

......

But, this is based on:

Rd 19

Haw v Geel - Haw

Ade v Ess - Ade

Rd 20

WCE v Geel - WCE

Ess v Nth - Nth

Sydney v Collingwood (in Syd) - Syd

Rd 21

Gee v St K - Gee

Ess v Coll - Coll

Rd 22

Syd v Haw - Syd

WCE v Coll - WCE

Rd 23

Haw v WCE - Haw

Gee v Syd - Gee

St K v Carl - St K

A few of those go the other way and things could look very different.

Adelaide are a monty for top 4, and probably top 2, with Melbourne and Brisbane away and Gold Coast, Freo and Essendon at home.

I just hope Essendon miss finals, so it effectively bumps our mid-round compo pick up 1 place (since they'll take Daniher and we'd never have a chance to get him anyway).

    WILDCARDS by KC from Casey

    Casey’s season continued to drift into helplessness on Sunday when they lost another home game by a narrow margin, this time six points, in their Round 13 clash with North Melbourne’s VFL combination. The game was in stunning contrast to their last meeting at the same venue when Casey won the VFL Wildcard Match by 101 points. Back then, their standout players were Brodie Grundy and James Jordon who are starring in the AFL with ladder leaders, the Sydney Swans (it turned out to be their last

    LIFE SUPPORT by Whispering Jack

    With Melbourne’s season hanging on a thread, Saturday night’s game against North Melbourne unfolded like a scene in a hospital emergency department.  The patient presented to the ward in a bad way. Doctors and nurses pumped life-saving medication into his body and, in the ensuing half hour, he responded with blood returning to his cheeks as he stirred back to life. After a slight relapse, the nurses pumped further medication into the bloodstream and the prognosis started looking good as the

    GAMEDAY: Rd 15 vs North Melbourne

    It's Game Day and it very well could be the last roll of the dice for the Demon's finals aspirations in 2024. A loss to the bottom side would be another embarrassing moment in a cursed year for the Dees whilst a win could be the spark they need to reignite the fire in the belly.

    THE HUNTER by The Oracle

    Something struck me as I sat on the couch watching the tragedy of North Melbourne’s attempt to beat Collingwood unfold on Sunday afternoon at the MCG.    It was three quarter time, the scoreboard had the Pies on 12.7.79, a respectable 63.16% in terms of goal kicking ratio. Meanwhile, the Roos’ 18.2.110 was off the charts at 90.00% shooting accuracy. I was thinking at the same time of Melbourne’s final score only six days before, a woeful 6.15.51 or 28.57% against Collingwood’s 14.5.89

    FROZEN by Whispering Jack

    Who would have thought?    Collingwood had a depleted side with several star players out injured, Max Gawn was in stellar form, Christian Petracca at the top of his game and Simon Goodwin was about to pull off a masterstroke in setting Alex Neal-Bullen onto him to do a fantastic job in subduing the Magpies' best player. Goody had his charges primed to respond robustly to the challenge of turning around their disappointing performance against Fremantle in Alice Springs. And if not that, t
