    Failmantle. Good for nothing garbage club. 

    So, assuming Sydney win (Hawks looks shocking at the moment), who do we play if we lose and who do we play if we win? 

    My head hurts trying to figure all this [censored] out again.

    Hope we play them. Any chance 

    I don't think so. Pretty much any way it lands, they are on the other side of the draw to us I think.

    As it stands right now. Hawthorn if we lose, Geelong if we win.

    I’m sure there’s someone ready to condemn me to the depths of hell if I have that wrong though ?

    So it's all starting to narrow a little bit...

    Win = 5th = Geelong at the G

    Lose = 8th = GWS in Sydney

    Win that first final and we play the loser of 1st vs 4th, which is looking likely to be either Sydney in Sydney, or Collingwood at the G.

    Pretty sure that is wrong. If we lose, we will be 8th, and GWS will be 5th, so we will play them again, although in Sydney this time.

    By my calculations, we need to win tomorrow, otherwise it could be travel every week of the finals to go on any sort of run.

    Elimiation final vs GWS at Spotless

    Semi final vs Sydney at the SCG

    Prelim final vs West Coast at Optus

    That would be impossible.

    Or we need Hawthorn to win to keep Victorian sides in our side of the draw

    Yeah that’s it. I had every aspect covered except what winning would do to GWS!

    Cant remember a time where there were so many deciding matches. Then again haven’t been in the 8 for so long to be able to tell.

    Jeez Freo almost actually did it, realistically it was unlikely for them to get the job done as they've been such a rabble this year (how is Lyon still coaching there?). 

    I like the fact that there is certainty with our match tomorrow, we know where we stand and what our result will mean for without the jeopardy of dropping out. 

    Typical that Geelong get the softest end to the year and back things up with 100+ trouncings of rabble clubs.

    Only chance of us playing the hawks week one is if Syd hawks play a draw and we lose to gws. GWS make top 4 on percentage. 

    Might starting cheering for the draw!!

    I’m just looking forward to playing and discussing finals rather than draft picks which is what we are usually doing this time of the footy season. 

    May it last more than one week.

    Agree this time last week I was doubtful if we would even make finals. Having said that a Hawks win does help things.

    Traveling Wilburys would be proud of that lot. I dunno, we seem to go ok on the road....didnt Bulldogs do something similar?

    Want the Swans to win this, and the Hawks eliminated in week 1.

    Hawks will win. Clarkson is a bloody good coach. Yes has had some good players come in but built a team and culture we can now hopefully achieve.

    If this is a draw, my hours spent on the ladder predictor will be rendered useless.

    Swans love a low scoring contest. Still anyone’s game

    • REPORT: West Coast

      On a night of counting, Melbourne captain Max Gawn made sure that his contribution counted. He was at his best and superb in the the ruck from the very start of the election night game against the West Coast Eagles at Optus Stadium, but after watching his dominance of the first quarter and a half of the clash evaporate into nothing as the Eagles booted four goals in the last ten minutes of the opening half, he turned the game on its head, with a ruckman’s masterclass in the second half.  No superlatives would be sufficient to describe the enormity of the skipper’s performance starting with his 47 hit outs, a career-high 35 possessions (22 of them contested), nine clearances, 12 score involvements and, after messing up an attempt or two, finally capping off one of the greatest rucking performances of all time, with a goal of own in the final quarter not long after he delivered a right angled pass into the arms of Daniel Turner who also goaled from a pocket (will we ever know if the pass is what was intended). That was enough to overturn a 12 point deficit after the Eagles scored the first goal of the second half into a 29 point lead at the last break and a winning final quarter (at last) for the Demons who decided not to rest their champion ruckman at the end this time around.

    • POSTGAME: West Coast

      Following a disastrous 0–5 start to the season, the Demons have now made it three wins in a row, cruising past a lacklustre West Coast side on their own turf. Skipper Max Gawn was once again at his dominant best, delivering another ruck masterclass to lead the way.
