Just two rounds remain, but as it stands, six teams are currently fighting it out for the final two spots in the top eight.
Melbourne and West Coast are the two sides who currently hold those positions, although the Western Bulldogs, Essendon, St Kilda and Hawthorn are all still very much players in the race for September football.
Here is the ladder as it stands at the end of round 21.
For some teams, it's as simple as winning your final two games, while for other sides, they'll need a lot to go their way.
While it can be a little difficult to work out what every side needs to happen, we've worked out the exact scenarios that must take play for your side to play in September!
Hawthorn
- Beat Carlton and Western Bulldogs
- West Coast and Western Bulldogs must lose both games
- Essendon must lose at least one game
- St Kilda must lose at least one game
Despite having the longest list of requirements, the Hawks are probably a better chance for the finals ahead of St Kilda.
They need to beat Carlton and the Bulldogs (which they certainly can do on current form) and hope the Eagles and Dogs lose both their games.
Needing the Bombers to drop one from their two easy games will be the road block for the Hawks, but if Essendon do somehow slip up, Hawthorn could find themselves playing September football.
Prediction: 9th
