If this happens I will laugh myself silly, but also be somewhat annoyed because the difficulty of getting tickets to the first final will increase dramatically and we'll be sharing the MCG with 70000 Richmond fans.

Start dreaming of this:

 

Halfway through the last quarter of that Round 23 game, a Freo win was a definite possibility. Scores had been level at 3/4 time, the Dockers kicked the first goal and led by 8 points. Collingwood got their first goal for the quarter at around 15 minutes through Mihocek a minute later, he kicks another to go in front. They end up winning by 9 points after kicking 3.2 in the last to Freo’s wasteful 1.5.

If they lose, they finish fifth, Melbourne fourth.

Closing doors.
