[b]POSSIBLE SCENARIOS[/b]
Three crucial games in Round 19 - Bullants v Werribee, Frankston v Box Hill and Nth Ballarat v Williamstown
Presume Sandringham beat Geelong, Tassie beat Coburg and Port beat Springvale.
In Round 20, just about all the games have some importance, probably at this stage Frankston v Port Melbourne looks the match of the round along with Sandringham v Bullants.
And a few things that stand out....
Port can only finish in the Top 4 IF they win their remaining two matches and Sandringham or Bendigo lose their remaining games (Both those sides play Geelong so that is very doubtful).
Bendigo cannot finish 1st or 2nd now (which means they cannot finish higher than Werribee or the Bullants), with one game to go for them they trail the Bullants by 6 points.
If Werribee beat the Bullants next week the Bees will finish top of the table.
Tasmania can only finish 5th if they win their last two games and Port lose both their last two games.
Nth Ballarat play Williamstown in Round 19, so one of those sides will move to 28 points. For the loser of that match, their season is over.

Anyone prepared to have a crack at how you think the ladder will finish up?
