Start time: 2:05 pm

---------------

IF WIN: 4th if Brisbane Lions win and the Tigers make up the percentage deficits to Frankston, the Lions and Collingwood; 5th, 6th or 7th if one, two or three of those don’t go their way

IF LOSE: 7th if the Casey Demons and GWS Giants lose; 8th if one wins; 9th if they both win. Richmond could jump Collingwood if the Tigers lose by approximately six points less than the Magpies

SUMMARY: The Tigers also can’t finish lower than ninth but face a tough finish to the regular season at DSV Stadium when they come up against a Williamstown outfit that must win to feature in the finals. Richmond will remember the heavy 66-point defeat they suffered at the hands of the Seagulls when the two teams last faced off in a 2024 Wildcard Final.

Results today in the VFL (Collingwood & GWS both losing) means if our VFL side wins or draws tomorrow then we'll finish either 5th or 6th and host an Elimination Final in two weeks time. If we lose, then more than likely we'll finish 7th or 8th and host a Wildcard final next weekend. There is an exception if we lose by a point in a low scoring game and Casey also lose, then we can still finish in 6th place above Collingwood on %.

Will be interesting to see where we host any final

This comp is a complete farce.
Not only dont the 2s play North but we play in Melbourne and Norf played Southport in QLD FFS. 
What a joke.
The afl dont give s rats about this comp.

Fawcett is a dud.  Delist material

He's a young tall just coming back from injury.

VFL team going to lose as well. Deserve to too when you have just 12 scoring shots to 29.

52 - 73

Late last quarter.

Typical visiting team being utterly clueless how to play at Pt Gellibrand.

So, we'll be playing the Giants in a Wildcard final next weekend.
