Only confirms that the AFL have the fix in to make sure C'wood wins enough preceding games to make that an elimination final for C'wood.  (Yes I am paranoid)

Cannot see them beating swans in Sydney or Brisbane in Melb 

Both have to keep winning to ensure home final - big big incentive 

Granted Sydney have a hole to climb out of atm but they are too good not to bounce back at home imo

There are two MCG games, the other is Rich v GC. 

They don’t want dead rubbers on the Sunday so they had to put one on Saturday and one on Friday night. 

Why would the AFL prefer dead rubbers on prime time friday night to Sunday?

bizarre

Anyone planning to retire needs to play this game and cheap shot that dog Maynard 🐕 

Melksham would be the obvious one, right position on the ground and has experience with punch ons. However I'd be shocked if we don't offer him another year.

McDonald another candidate if he decides to hang it up, give him one last game forward. He's had the angry pills with the umpires lately, he could direct that at Maynard instead.

The left field option... Lachie Hunter. One final game to get him to 200. He can take out Maynard and win the hearts of Dees fans on his way out.

Well at least the season will be over sooner rather than later.

Because they want the suspense of the Sunday having top 4/8 impacting games (people will probably watch the Friday night game regardless), and probably to ensure Foxtel has some good games that round. 

I actually hope we play Ben Brown for his final game. He was a huge part of the 2021 flag and deserves a final game. They should put him in cotton wool and just bring him in for that game. I reckon the players would really try get up for him.
