Brisbane edged closer to locking in third on the AFL ladder after they overcame Collingwood. Hawthorn can still claim that position, but they need a huge win in the last game. West Coast meet Hawthorn next, and they want to avoid another tough defeat.
A key Collingwood player is a doubt for the wildcard match. Over at Sydney, five players are weighing up their options. Pavlich told fans to keep backing the club. The race remains close. Every point matters now.
