With finals spots on the line and top contenders jostling for position, every result from here could make or break a campaign. AFL Barwon’s Will Spence breaks down the run home, key clashes, and the clubs with everything still to play for in the race to September.

Last Five Games: LWWWW

Run Home: St Mary’s (H) (3), Colac (A) (4), Leopold (H) (7), Lara (A) (12), St Albans (H) (8), Geelong West Giants (H) (9)

St Joseph’s have a reasonable run home, playing four sides outside the top five, giving their week one finals hopes an even better chance.

Three wins at minimum for St Joseph’s should give them a finals bye.

Danger Games: St Mary’s, Colac, Leopold

Draw Rating: 🟥🟥🟧🟧🟨🟨🟩

2. Newtown & Chilwell P 12, PTS 36, % 148.21, W 9, L 3

Run Home: North Shore (A) (11), Grovedale (H) (10), South Barwon (H) (5), St Albans (A) (8), Lara (A) (12), St Mary’s (H) (3)

To the naked eye, Newtown seems to have a reasonable run home, four of their last six games are played against sides outside the top five.

Three or four wins out of their last five games, has them in a good spot for a second chance come September.

Danger Games: South Barwon, St Mary’s

Draw Rating: 🟥🟥🟧🟧🟨🟨🟩🟩

Momentum has Colac sitting comfortably, wins from four of their last five games support their progress.

Four of their six games are away, which could cause some possible headaches.

The Swans are in a reign of form they would like to continue.

Although finals could be determined by their own performances, five of their last seven games are against sides sitting seventh or better on the ladder.

The percentage is on their side; however, four or five games will be minimum if the Swans play finals.
