Call me a party pooper, but there still remains a mathematical chance that we could miss fourth spot. St Kilda are more than 4.5% behind us, but they can still overtake us if they have a big, big win against Essendon.
How big? In the order of about 95 points.
Improbable perhaps, but certainly not unheard of. St Kilda would be well aware of what they need to achieve. And Essendon are, well, a joke.
Here's my spreadsheet of scorelines that would do it for the Saints. If my calculations are correct.
