Six of the nine fixtures have finals implications and for eight teams – nine at a stretch – it is a round of great significance

week. And hoo boy, what a week – one where six of the nine games have finals implications.

The reigning premiers have struggled to maintain momentum through the back half of the year, following each win with a loss since July. Prior to that, they smoked Brisbane by more than 10 goals at the MCG on a Thursday night in June. Carlton win, they play finals. Lose, and it’s better than an even money bet that the final minute of last Saturday night will stalk them all summer like a Senecan ghost. That guy with the empty eyes muttering “15 seconds” over and over? Yeah, he’s a Carlton supporter.The asterisk here is that despite Michael Voss dubbing the game an elimination final, the Blues could lose and still hold onto eighth spot if the Western Bulldogs drop their game against Hawthorn.

Worried about stagflation?
