Still a real chance that Essendon could miss finals with the results and margins going against them today.
Just goes to show the impact of the fixture on finals.
If Essendon do miss out that’ll mean GC have played 8 of their 10 games against bottom 8 teams and nearly pinched top 4 due to the bias in the fixture.
Def need at least another two games in the season, that’s not over achieving that’s just a leg up.

Flat track bullies…geez.If Essendon weren't flat track bullies and were good enough they would have beaten us on Friday night and play finals.
Oh as Teen Wolf mentioned above too. Essendon only had to play 1 'Top 4' team so that is another freebie that Essendon got too.Flat track bullies…geez.
Pretty sensitive you’se GC lot.
Essendon are a very young side had a couple of leaders out and they folded under the expectation.
I don’t think either team was particularly good, you guys scored 8 points in two quarters they kicked four in three quarters and still had more shots on goal than you.
I don’t think you guys are top four material and you nearly pinched because of your draw.
You don’t have to take it personally.
Travel…big deal.

So like Richmond last year who only had 1 win vs a top 8 team all year that let them nab top 4 as they went 6-0 vs non-finalists?Still a real chance that Essendon could miss finals with the results and margins going against them today.

Yep, that’s right..well near enough to right.So like Richmond last year who only had 1 win vs a top 8 team all year that let them nab top 4 as they went 6-0 vs non-finalists?

I'd go a step further and point out how many were required to travel in order to play those top 4 teams:If you were protected from facing 2 or 3 of Adel/Melb/NM/BL, you got a sweet deal.
Number of top 4 teams dodged
Gold Coast: 2
Geelong: 2
Essendon: 3
Sydney: 3
St Kilda: 2
Collingwood: 2
Carlton: 3
Richmond: 2
Fremantle: 2
Hawthorn: 2
Port Adelaide: 1
GWS Giants: 1
West Coast: 2
W. Bulldogs: 1
St Kilda, Collingwood and Richmond's sweet deals are somewhat negated by actually beating a top 4 team. But given the injuries to Collingwood and Richmond, I wouldn't blame the fixture first if they both miss finals this year. St Kilda just have to execute the easy task of smacking Carlton today (or not give up a huge lead against Port Adelaide in R3) and they make the 8.
So I'm comfortable with whoever finishes 5th-8th. If one of these 11 "dodgy" teams had creeped into the top 4, that's when the fixture looks real silly.
Anderson took an excruciatingly long time to kick her goal. I'm not sure everyone was awake to the percentage situation. Seemed to be just trying to close out the game with a win.Yeah wish we'd gone a bit harder to get us above Bombers. Well just sit back and watch now. Will be cheering on Tigers and Freo...
