Well done David.

I think the battle for 8th will be the winner of the GWS and Richmond match.

Depends on where this is i feel it will be in perth.

West coast win tonight and this shores up 7th for them.

8TH GWS Essendon richmond can make it

Even though they won v north i feel tigers wont make finals.

It's an exciting race. Really, there are half a dozen teams that are not worthy battling for 7th and 8th spots.

Carlton are now done.

WC are favoured against Freo, who will have many missing.

GWS vs. Richmond is a huge match. Hope Toby gets off on final appeal!!

Great work David; it's kinda fun to know the finals effectively have started in rounds 22 & 23 [natural selection?]
Many more permutations to play out.

The media will ramp it up by the conclusion of round 22, when all the mathematical probabilities have been reduced to 9 games, save for any dead-rubber results...

It would be nice if we could do some damage to Brisbane or Essenscum's chances, but i'm far from confident.

Yes, how tragic. I've left them a couple of "get well [f#cked] soon" messages, in other threads.

While BT and the other flog commentators cry rivers of tears over tiggers supposed injury list, compared to a crippled GWS, who are starting to shake things up with some big scalps of late.

St Kilda and Carlton have now bitten the dust. Richmond and Fremantle will join them if the Eagles win tomorrow; otherwise, it’ll still be a five-team race going into round 23.

The big news is that, if results go as expected (ie, Richmond beat Hawthorn, Essendon beat us and Brisbane beat West Coast), it is very likely that last year's premiers will be crowned "Ninthmond" once more.

^ I don't think "Ninthmond" will happen because the Hawks will knock off the Tigers in Clarkson's farewell game.
