Cannot happen. Impossible. To get the same for and against we win 92 to 82. By winning we already get 3rd......

If Richmond wins

The Tigers can finish no lower than third. If they beat the Lions by 63 points or more, they will finish second and host a qualifying final against Brisbane.
   
The Lions will finish second if Richmond fails to win by enough. Either way, Richmond and Brisbane will play again in the first week of finals.

If Brisbane wins

The Lions will win the minor premiership and host a qualifying final against West Coast.
   
The Tigers will finish fifth.

I’m getting more confident in our ability.

I’m in the 11 goal win camp. Sets us up for a home final at our home.

We can do it, because it was only round 4 last year we only let them kick 2 goals 5 to win by 93 points.

We have the ability to really cement ourselves thanks to the Eagles falling off the perch since we towelled them last week without our captain or our key defender.  :rollin

The eagles will soon be in the same padded sell as the Crows.

A good belting today the lions will have a couple of weeks to try and figure something out but get to watch how to set up a premiership close and personal.  :rollin

A caller on 3aw just now said he overheard two Brisbane officials in a Melbourne hotel saying they want a day final at the Gabba to maximise any home advantage in the heat of the day.

Let's hope the AFL goes with Thursday, Friday & Saturday night finals to maximise TV ratings. The Qualifying Finals would then be night games even if one is at the Gabba. The second Elimination Final is always played on the Sunday arvo nowdays.

Jay Clark claims this will be the line-up for the first week of the finals if we win today. We'll play on a Saturday night.

Thursday night: West Coast Eagles v Essendon (Perth)

Friday night: Geelong v Collingwood (MCG)

Saturday: GWS Giants v Western Bulldogs (Giants)

Saturday night: Brisbane v Richmond (Gabba)
