We play the 5th placed Hawks who as snapping at our heels (only 1 win and 2.9% below us, so they have plenty of incentive to beat us too! Collingwood (6th) and the Suns (7th) are also only a game and % behind the Swans so will also have plenty to play for to try to catch us (Collingwood play the 8th placed Carlton who are only a game and % behind them, so that will be a cracker; and the Suns - who are well down on % play lowly North which could be the % booster they need to be potentially equal 2nd on points at seasons end!).
Incredible final round of the VFL in terms of top 8 sides playing each other an impacting on the final standings! And all of the games (except Collingwood/Carlton) are being played within a few hours of each other (ours being last of the group) so we I’ll know what we have to do for the best finish to the VFL home & away season.
I’ve been watching the reserves quite a bit this season - it can be streamed for free via the AFL app (I mirror it to my TV via the AppleTV box).
Given that both our seniors and reserves are potentially well placed for finals, the reserves players are still vying for senior opportunities at the pointy end of the season, so should be champing at the bit for good performances.
I’ll be watching from 12:30 AEST Saturday via the AFL app!
