Round 22.

[Pies4shaw]

Great to see Melbourne taking it right up to Freo - at one stage Freo was 50 times Melbourne's score but now they're only 31 times Melbourne's score. Melbourne, doing everything they can, trail 2 to 62.

[Pies4shaw]

And with a brilliant personal effort, Jeffy Garlett has flamed the Freo advantage - they are now only 7.75 times Melbourne's score.

[Pies4shaw]

Another inside 2 minutes from the great Jack Watts and, all of a sudden, the Dees are within 50 points.

[Pies4shaw]

Brilliant effort by the 'Aints - they managed to beat Adam Goodes 4 goals to 3 - pity for them that the rest of the Swans kicked another 17. St Kilda 4.14.38, just edged out by the Swans 20.15.135.

[Pies4shaw]

Freo lead Melbourne 69 to 26 at half-time. Fyfe hasn't had a touch.

[regan is true fullback]

If Adelaide finishes seventh which now seems likely, then the two most useless teams in the finals, North and the Ponces, will play in separate elimination finals, with a strong chance of quick elimination. Means that Richmond will finally get a finals win, but one cannot have everything.

[Donny]

Freo won 108-54.

-------------

Sydney won 135-38.
