The Scenarios: (Ladder Predictor)
- If Collingwood win, Williamstown lose and Box Hill lose, the Magpies will finish 4th and play Casey in a Qualifying Final at Casey Fields.

- If Collingwood win, Williamstown lose and Box Hill win by an insufficient margin to overtake the 2.99% percentage gap, the Magpies will finish 4th and play Casey in a Qualifying Final at Casey Fields.

- If Collingwood lose and Box Hill lose, the Magpies will finish 5th and play one of Essendon, Port Melbourne, Footscray or North Melbourne in an Elimination Final at North Port Oval.

- If Collingwood lose and Box Hill win, the Magpies will finish 6th and play one of Essendon, Port Melbourne, Footscray or North Melbourne in an Elimination Final at North Port Oval.

- If Collingwood win, Williamstown win and Box Hill lose, the Magpies will finish 5th and play one of Essendon, Port Melbourne, Footscray or North Melbourne in an Elimination Final at North Port Oval.

- If Collingwood win, Williamstown lose and Box Hill win by a big enough margin to overtake the 2.99% percentage gap, the Magpies will finish 5th and play one of Essendon, Port Melbourne, Footscray or North Melbourne in an Elimination Final at North Port Oval.

- If Collingwood win, Williamstown win and Box Hill win by a big enough margin to overtake the 2.99% percentage gap, the Magpies will finish 6th and play one of Essendon, Port Melbourne, Footscray or North Melbourne in an Elimination Final at North Port Oval.

Note:
- This match was originally scheduled for a Sunday 2pm start. However, the VFL recently moved the match to a Saturday 11am start. As such, the match will now act as a lunchtime show of sorts before the senior side's Top 4 stakes clash against Fremantle in Western Australia. Fans will have on or about 3 hours once the VFL match concludes to get home, get to a pub or otherwise get to a screen in time for the first bounce in the AFL.

Over to you...

[MagpieBat]

The team for the Top 4 stakes clash has landed.

Send a message to the Magpie Army fleet: The Sack is BACK!

[MagpieBat]

[Dark Beanie]

Weather forecast is 17 degrees and sunny. Much better than last weekend.

No netball or other footy on tomorrow, so will be heading to Vic Park.

What's the go with vfl finals, do they follow afl with the week break?

[MagpieBat]

Nope. Straight into it next week.

[Piethagoras' Theorem]

Cheers, MB, that's very handy for seniors in case of injured players returning for a run!

[MagpieBat]

Absolutely. Indeed, the fixture is designed this way for that exact reason...

[MagpieBat]

Right, here we go!

Top 4 is up for grabs!

Pies kicking to the Sherrin Stand end, in absolutely PERFECT conditions! Sun, no breeze!

GOOD LUCK, GOLDY!
