The race for eighth spot explained

Essendon sit eighth at the moment. Fremantle are 10th, but are equal on points.

If Fremantle win and Essendon lose, then the Dockers take eighth spot.

If Fremantle win and Essendon win then the Bombers make the finals on percentage.

A Fremantle loss means they miss finals.

It’s been an unpredictable round so far … hopefully that continues today.
