IT ALL comes down to this.
We already know the identity of the 10 teams who will play finals this season, but the final ladder positions and finals match-ups are still yet to be determined.
There are a multitude of possibilities heading into the final round of the season, so we have broken it all down for you below.
LADDER PREDICTORÂ Who will make the top six, who'll play a wildcard final?
What happens if your team wins in Round 24? What happens if they lose? Can they secure a week off? And who will they play in their opening final? Read on for all the permutations heading into Round 24.Â
Melbourne v Western Bulldogs | MCG, 4.15pm AEST
If the Demons win ...
- They would guarantee a top-six finish and a week off
- They would finish in the top four if one of the Lions or Hawks lose
- They could theoretically move ahead of both the Lions and Hawks even if all three teams win, but the Demons would have to make up 6.1 per cent on the Hawks and 8.3 per cent on the Lions
- If the Demons finish outside the top four, they will host a home elimination final
- The Bulldogs would finish 10th, provided the Blues beat the Dockers
- If the Blues also lose, the Bulldogs would finish ninth and likely play the Magpies in a wildcard final
ROUND 24Â Get your seats to Demons v Bulldogs
If the Bulldogs win ...
- They will guarantee a wildcard final against Collingwood, unless the Pies win, the Crows lose and the Pies make up 9 per cent on the Crows
- If the Pies lose, the Bulldogs would finish eighth
- If the Pies also win, the Bulldogs would finish ninth
- The Demons would fall to seventh and play a home wildcard final, provided the Cats and Crows both win
- If one of the Cats or Crows lose, the Dees would still finish in the top six and get a week off
