We're forgetting here that the AFL will be very keen to keep Essendon and Adelaide in the eight. Going to be some interesting umpiring this weekend, especially at Optus. WCE won't have it all their own way.
I don't think there's any reason they'd be keen to keep Adelaide in the 8. It won't be a home final so they wouldn't be worried about a difference in crowds, and neutrals making up the TV audience would probably more interested in watching us than them at the moment given the difference in the media narratives surrounding the two teams.
