As the AFL season draws to a close, the race for the top eight is heating up with nine teams vying for final positions, enhancing the excitement for fans. With the minor premiership yet to be decided, significant matchups in Round 24 promise thrilling outcomes. This round features 10 games spread over nine days due to a rescheduled match between Gold Coast and Essendon.

Interestingly, Round 24 will see West Coast and Sydney, both already confirmed in their ladder positions, face off. The Eagles have been at the bottom of the ladder for some time, while the Swans are the highest ranked team not contesting finals. Meanwhile, Essendon will host Carlton in a primetime encounter, where the Bombers are looking to break an 11-game losing streak, while Carlton celebrates Tom De Koning’s milestone 100th match.

In another fixture, North Melbourne takes on Adelaide, where a win could secure the minor premiership for the Crows, showcasing their significant improvement from last year. Richmond will go against Geelong, with a win for the Cats ensuring them home advantage in the finals, while the Giants face St Kilda in a match where the Giants have the chance to secure a higher finals placing.

Collingwood and Melbourne will clash in a pivotal game; a win could see Collingwood push for the top four. Port Adelaide’s match against Gold Coast holds critical implications for both sides, with Gold Coast needing a win to ensure a place in the finals for the first time.

The Gold Coast vs. Essendon match later on is crucial; a loss against Port would mean the Suns must secure victory against the Bombers to keep their finals hopes alive. Brisbane’s encounter with Hawthorn is equally significant, as both are already finals-bound but aiming for better positions.

Finally, the Western Bulldogs face Fremantle in what is likely the most significant match of the round. The stakes are incredibly high: the winner will secure a place in the finals, while the loser will miss out despite potentially having 15 wins. With all 10 games carrying weight this round, fans are braced for a thrilling finale to the AFL season.
