WB won 126-65.
AFs: Dunkley 150, Lipinski 129, Taranto 106, Macrae 107, Whitfield 102
First time in 108 years that a team has gone 2 games in a row with out scoring a goal in the second half.
This was a thrashing. 10.9 to 5 behinds, in the second half.

We are now impossible to dislodge from fifth, and can still possibly make it to 4th if results fall the right way next week (Richmond losing to Brisbane and us defeating Essendon).
Hawthorn will win easily against GC tonight and as a result will dislodge the Bulldogs from the Top 8. Next week, Hawthorn play West Coast and the Bull dogs play the Crows. not sure who we prefer to make it to the top 8: Bulldogs or Dawks.We kind of want neither, both being a threat to us, Hawthorn because of the psychological hoodoo thay seem to have over us, and the Bulldogs because they are playing a highly aggressive and powerful brand of football right now. Ideally, we would prefer Essendon to stay there to prevent one of these two teams to make the 8. Realistically, Essendon loses to us, Bulldogs thump Adelaide and Eagles defeat Dawks. However, if the Dawks get up and defeat West Coast, and we defeat Essendon, then we could snatch West Coasts Top 4 position!
Likewise if Brisbane defeat Richmond, we could snatch their Top 4 position. We are fortunate to have a superior percentage to West Coast and Richmond.
So what would be the best possible outcome for us?
We beat Essendon.
Brisbane defeats Richmond (so we take their spot)
West Coast defeats Dawks and they miss out on finals.
Adelaide defeats Bulldogs by a large margin, and Bulldogs miss out on finals. Adelaide comes in.
