Bombers drop out of top eight
Essendon has dropped to ninth position tonight after West Coast defeated Fremantle by 48-points at Subiaco. The Bombers sit outside the top eight on percentage, trailing Fremantle by just 0.59. The good news is with just one game remaining, Essendon can still make the finals.

Essendon need to beat the Western Bulldogs convincingly next Sunday at The Dome to have any chance of featuring in the September action. They also need to hope that St Kilda beat Fremantle on Saturday night at The Dome. If this scenario occurs, Essendon should slip into eighth position.

The stage is set for a big finale to the 2004 home and away season. With one game remaining before the finals series kicks off, the finishing order of the top eight is far from decided. Port Adelaide sit one game clear on top of the ladder and look certain to win their third McClelland trophy, but the composition of the three other top four positions is unknown. After losing to Sydney, Essendon has dropped out of the top eight on percentage and West Coast has moved in after defeating Fremantle yesterday.
