2016 AFL - Round 9

The top 8 is set in stone IMO. Is this the earliest that a top 8 has been decided in a season? Only real chance is Port making it and Adelaide dropping out but that's a stretch. Anyone think any other teams can make it?

Guys, round 9 totals for me:

Port Adel/West Coast U193.5
Melb/Bris U200.5
Saints/Dons U180.5

It seems crazy given only percentage separates 8th from 11th but I agree.
 
Jetta offered a week. Vince cleared. Talk of Max Gawn being "rested" for the Brisbane game. Ablett may miss after being concussed on the weekend. Hoping for us punters with 40+ totals that teams playing the Suns and Lions don't rest stars. We need the blowout margins. Then again, how much difference would it make?

What?! Worst rumour ever. Round 9, Melbourne game outside the 8, no way he's bringing rested. Where did you hear this?

The question was posed in the Herald Sun's Barometer article today. Certainly not gospel, but he did leave the ground on the weekend, then came back after a spell. With percentage mattering, you'd think they'd field their best available team.
 
They beat an Essendon reserves team by 16 last week. Week before they best the saints by 7. Line is on the money for mine. But no Kreuzer and Casbolt helps them.

And Carlton's beaten 4 of the poorest teams in the competitions by a combined 36 points. I reckon they will get a wake up call this week, bad spot for them after North played so poorly in the second half.
 
Still open to a few teams dropping out, can't have that it's set in stone at round 8.

Which teams then?

Can't see Adelaide finishing below any of those 3

meh if they keep losing supposed 50/50 games I can. Eagles if they don't get their shit together outside WA.
north (ok yeh ridiculous and i'm half joking - would be impressive after 9-0 start but they have a shit draw after that and it'd be entertaining) or the dogs missing isn't inconceivable from here either.

*may be talking through my wallet on a few of these
