I think 8th spot is up for grabs. WCE are without Nic Nat for pretty much the rest of the season and now have no Lycett this week for disciplinary reasons and they are not playing very consistent footy anyway. That last spot is definitely there for the taking for Port, Melbourne and Carlton.
I cant see Melbourne beating Sydney this weekend and Port are a huge chance to beat Freo even though its in in Perth. Win this week and Port's finals chances are still very much there
Port can't afford to slip up from now. Its finals footy all the way for them. otherwise time to break out the catalogues for Bali
When you look at Port's next 5 games it doesn't bode well for them. Freo, Richmond, both winnable, but then Hawks, North, GWS. Tough fixture for the Power and they have to rely on WCE, Crows and the Giants slipping up along the way to help their finals cause.
We beat the Hawks twice last year and North aren't going that well and they have a massive month ahead ( Hawks, Adelaide ( A) bye, West Coast (A) then Port at home ), GWS is the stick in the mud in the next month.
