Brisbane stepped closer to locking in third on the AFL ladder after they defeated Collingwood. Hawthorn can still grab that place, but they need a huge win in the last round. West Coast face Hawthorn next, and they hope to prevent another tough defeat.
A key Collingwood player remains doubtful for the wildcard match. Over at Sydney, five players are weighing up their options. Pavlich asked fans to keep standing behind the club. The race is wide open. Every point matters now.
