There's a bit of chat that the Freo CEO might make the jump over to the Hawks CEO position at some point, hopefully after Fyfe signs.

dont worry hawthorn would never poach a star player from another team

In case anyone missed the fact that we blew our flag hopes by refusing to play to conditions we end the game with a player taking a running bounce off half back when it's been pissing down for hours.

maybe brisbane or adelaide or both will lose all their remaining games?

The Rosey doesn't show the footy, it was at the Paddo. Funnily enough one of the reporters on the ground described the locale as hipster-ish, which could be applied to Mt Hawthorn if you squint I guess but the Paddo is still v much bogan central clientele-wise

theres still one more game to go. brisbane are locked in, my understanding is if they win next week or if adelaide lose next week then brisbane get a home GF

dees and adelaide both win next week - adelaide should still go through with their superior percentage
dees win and adelaide lose - dees make the GF
dees lose and adelaide win - adelaide make the GF

both teams lose (and carlton win?) - adelaide probably still goes through anyway with their percentage

e: next week will be a difficult game though, coming off a hot, humid and bruising game to then have to go against a resurgent fremantle

How would you structure a finals series for an 8 team comp?

A final 4 with two simple semis? This has the benefits of being simple, but also the downside of half the teams in the comp make the finals

they do a 4 team finals series in the WAFL

also collingwood winning today throws up some interesting (if mathematically minuscule) possibilities for the final round to set up the second grand finalist team. adelaide's percentage will still lock collingwood and carlton out of contention if both of the latter teams win at the crow's expense (collingwood will be playing adelaide in the final round).

so the most likely results will still be:

1. adelaide win and they're in,
2. adelaide lose and dees win then the dees make it, and
3. adelaide and dees both lose and adelaide still makes it anyway

followed by the incredibly unlikely:

4. adelaide lose by a large enough margin to wipe off 50 percentage points bringing them crashing down to the dees and carltons' level (and that scenario would result in a massive boost to collingwoods percentage), and so if the dees also lose to freo and carlton win then the blues and collingwood would both be in the running for the GF spot, with it most likely being collingwood getting in due to that theoretical percentage surge they would get against adelaide in this scenario. so for carlton to get in they would have to rely on adelaide getting belted, demons losing, then winning by a huge margin against... brisbane.
5. demons win by a large enough margin to chase down the 46.4 percentage differential between them and adelaide

If Melbourne had managed to close up their defence in their game against the Crows last week and not leaked two goals in the final 90 seconds, the percentages would have been

MEL 150.87
ADE 150.81

well if the dees had stopped one of the goals versus gws they would have won and been in the GF vOv
