DEMONS, CATS TO BATTLE FOR FOURTH
Melbourne and Geelong will meet next week in a clash that may well decide fourth spot on the ladder - and therefore who we meet in week one of the finals. But North's surprise loss to Sydney has opened the door for Melbourne to possibly even sneak to third if the Roos slip up again in their last two matches. Brisbane, meanwhile, has all but secured a finals berth with a win over fellow contender Adelaide.
