Richmond v Melbourne
Richmond will finish 12th regardless, Melbourne will finish top 2 with a win, as low as fifth with a loss
Mornington Dragons v St Kilda*
A win to the Dragons will see them secure 6th, a loss and they could drop to 8th. A win to St Kilda could see them take out the minor premiership, a loss and it's 3rd-5th
Adelaide v Hawthorn
Golden opportunity for the Crows to wrap up top spot against the 15th placed Hawks, but if the Hawks can produce the upset they can finish as low as 5th. Hawthorn will finish 15th at worst, could get to 13th with a win
Kangaroos v Brisbane Bears
Roos can make the eight if they win with a score of 318 higher than the Vultures, who lose to struggling Carlton, and West Coast lose to wooden spooner Sydney. A win will get Brisbane out of the elimination zone if the Dragons lose to St Kilda, a loss will see them drop to 8th if the Vultures win, otherwise Brisbane will host next week's elimination final.
West Coast v Sydney
An Eagles win will see them claim the last spot in the eight if the Lions can beat the Vultures, a loss will see them stay 9th or they can drop to 11th if the Roos and Power both win. Sydney get Gibbs.
Geelong v Port Adelaide
Both teams have nothing to lose - a win will see them go higher, a loss and they stay where they are. the Cats will jump whichever top 4 teams lose. Similarly Port can jump the Eagles and Roos should they lose.
Carlton Lions v Western Vultures
Carlton are ready for the post-season hospital tour but a win here could get them to 13th, a loss and they could drop to 15th if the Hawks can upset the Crows. A win to the Vultures guarantees them a spot in the eight, and as high as sixth, a loss leaves the door open for the Eagles or Roos to steal eighth spot
Collingwood v East Coast Dockers
Dockers haven't been as bad as their ladder position suggests, but Collingwood have scored 300 points more than any other team this season and should be too strong. If the result is as expected, the Pies will finish top 3, jumping Adelaide or Melbourne if they falter - that could see the Dockers drop to 15th. An upset will see the Dockers hang on to 13th and Collingwood drop below St Kilda or Geelong if they can get the points in the last round
*last chance
NB: All ladder permutations assume no penalty points this round, and are for the finals ladder, not the draft ladder
