round 18 matches
essendon v carlton EM
collingwood v melbourne VP
fitzroy v univresity BS
geelong v richmond CO
st kilda v south JO
only fitzroy v university is a meaningless match all the others effect finals or the wooden spoon. south win they finish 1st they lose it would go to carlton if they win their match collingwood need a gigantic win and both south and carlton to lose to finish 1st melborune must stun collingwood and essendon lose to make the finals. geelong and st kilda it is who does better this week if one wins the other gets last but there percentages are very close as well so if they both win or lose its the margin that matters.
