    +1. Also there are too many teams in Melbourne which is good for us as the dilution of members, players and $ helps us.

      Surely they're eying Bulldogsesque glory.

        Also don't forget the media are eyeing the cringeworthy Essendon rise from the ashes finals appearance. The cheerleading of the convicted drug cheats has been sickening all year.

            Assuming Richmond don't blow their 7 goal lead here, it looks like we will play Essendon unless the Eagles can beat the Crows by about 45 points, in which case we would play West Coast

              Which means if we win against Ess we face Rich or Geelong at MCG wk2 and Adelaide or GWS in prelim

                Yep and we can win both of those games, easy. The Prelim is a totally different situation.

                    The main interest for me today is Kennedy scoring <5 goals.

                          If West Coast win this, there will surely be mainstream discussion around playing final round games at the same time (which would be bloody great).

                            It would never happen for as we all know money dictates almost everything in the AFL and the TV stations would not accept losing too many live games for the round

                            Also logistically in terms of officials, technicians etc I don't think the AFL and/or TV stations have the numbers to cover 9 matches simultaneously.

                              It's excruciating watching the Eagles and hoping they win by enough to leap frog Essendon into 7th (because while I think we should be able to beat Essendon, I think West Coast would be an easier kill, with that earlier SCG escape still etched into recent memory), yet desperately hoping anyone but JJK kicks the goals they need to achieve it. Not sure they have enough firepower up forward to kick a good enough score unless Kennedy gets into gear.

                                I would much rather play Essendon than the Eagles. By a country mile in fact.
