If the Filth beat us, they can still make if Port can get over Freo in Perth and the Blues lose to both the WCE and the Saints, which given all the Blues outs and the way they are playing is a strong chance.

Yes, you are right. Go Blues! (Can't believe I am saying this).

Unless you have Carlton beating West Coast, a 1 point win over us and a Fremantle loss to Port puts Collingwood in the 8.

Carlton winning tonight pretty much ends them but the Blues’ injury list means that’s unlikely.

Correct. Today's the day. Saints will beat blues next week. 

Fingers crossed. Go Crippa.

Currently the four required outcomes for Collingwood to make it are all favourites (WC and St K over Carlton, Port over Fremantle, them over us).

It’s increasingly frustrating that this would be us if we had held on last week. Just that one game changes, all the rest stay the same (ie keep the Freo and Dogs floggings, the other three close losses etc), and next Friday is almost a playoff for 8th.

During the offseason, there was plenty of talk around Hunter and his off field standards and behaviour. Him playing or not won't make any difference to us IMO, but the context around it is extremely intriguing to me.

With the timing around the Petracca noise and the culture question being raised yet again, and with Hunter on 199 games and uncontracted for next year, this makes for a really interesting decision from the outside.

Which part of culture wins out? Do we get a player who may very well retire to 200 games, or do we act so ruthlessly that we don't select him off the back of standards behind the scenes? I don't claim to know if there's been significant issues of course, but his non-selection this year says a lot.

Without all the facts, I don't know where I sit on the decision, but it is interesting nonetheless.

If they didn’t get JJ on in the GF when we were 60 points up, there’s no way Hunter will be gifted a 200th game.

I would give Hunter his 200th and farewell game next week, on the strict proviso he makes Maynard and Moore know he was out there and if possible legally of course, fixes up Maynard.

If he had that in him I’d extend his contract

Earlier today I thought BBB might get a final goodbye game after kicking 6 in the VFL.

After this afternoon's result I'm not sure there's a spot for him - perhaps as sub? But given we probably have to replace Sparrow, it's not exactly like for like. 

I must admit that I have a fantasy of Benny coming on at the 10 min mark of the last quarter and kicking the goal after the siren to beat the Filth.

Nonetheless, it will definately be Nibblers last game. It would also be good to get some clarity on Melksham and McDonald too because they both deserve good send-offs if this is their last game (though tbc I think they should both get 1 more year).

Yep I’d go one more year with Melky and TMac. Need the depth and experience / leadership anyway.

Looks like this game will likely be a dead rubber now, given Carlton & Hawthorn’s percentage.

Even with finals out of the question, finishing the season on the back of back to back wins and seeing this game plan start to work could really set us up for a pre season! i hope we attack this game with as close to our best side as we can and beat the Pies.

Quite frankly, Carlton winning was the best result possible. Means, win, lose or draw, Dees fans can sit there with a smugness about them knowing Collingwood couldn’t even make the finals to defend their premiership.

I'm feeling a bit better about next Friday night knowing the pies are now out of the finals.

It would be great to win & leapfrog both Collingwood and essendon

Why legally? It’ll be his last game. Why not go out with a bang.

Exactly. I think it's funny how Collingwood have not only missed finals after being premiers, but it was carlton that have kept them out. 

This will be a good finals series, apart from Geelong I don't care who wins it

I would have preferred them to be a chance so that we get a bigger home game attendance and so that we could be the ones to end the finals chance. Mathematically they can still make it if they have a huge win and other results fall their way. Does anyone know if they have a mathematical chances post like we do here?

The huge Season Over banner in the crowd from QB 2004 needs to make a comeback. Worst. Premiers. Ever.

I agree; while it’s frustrating to have missed finals, finishing the home and away season with a win (over Collingwood no less) would surely inject a better energy, hunger and belief into the pre-season than another consecutive straight sets exit.

THE HEADLINE YOU WILL NOT SEE !!!!

Does Colingwood's failure to make the finals signify that the culture at Collingwood is not conducive to success. As such the Club should be conducting a grass roots analysis of all facets of the CLub's operations.

As a consequence of the failure ot follow up on their KO win in 2023 , the Coaches position must be a subject of scrutiny.

Some senior players may have to change their game plan by going for the ball rather than the man as has been part of their game style. Furthermore the Draw must reflect the position of the team

The culture at Collingwood must come under great scrutiny.

The AFL are currently forming an investigative group including the AFL Head of Fixturing,Tom Morris, Cane Kornes,Tim Watson and the MCG Trust   to investigate how Collingwood can play ALL their games at the MCG and also train exclusively on the ground.

Collingwood can only make it be appealing against Carlton beating WCE and by demanding that Freemantle forfeit to PORT
