Brisbane moved closer to locking in third on the AFL ladder after they beat Collingwood. Hawthorn can still claim that position, but they need a major victory in the last match. West Coast take on Hawthorn next, and they hope to prevent another heavy loss.
A key Collingwood player is unsure for the wildcard fixture. Over at Sydney, five players are weighing up their options. Pavlich asked fans to keep standing behind the club. The race remains close. Every point is vital now.
