Can you believe Hawthorn, yes Hawthorn, were about three seconds away from finishing second on the AFL ladder? The top eight is now locked away after a heart-stopping last day of the home and away season, and a mouth-watering first week of finals after we pause to take a breath this weekend. The eighth and final spot for September action was not sealed until the final siren of the very last game of the season, which Fremantle needed to win to sneak back into the eight.
But equally, that’s how disastrous their capitulation in the final month of the year was. And if they were to pick one moment, it would have to be the Essendon loss. Scores were all tied up with 36 seconds left on the clock. They didn’t know it at the time, but all the Dockers had to do was hang on to the deadlock for those remaining seconds, and they would have played finals.
