First and second spots have been sorted ahead of the final round of the AFL Victoria Development League home-and-away season, but fourth position remains up for grabs.
The undefeated Box Hill Hawks have had the minor premiership in hand for a while now and will face second-placed Williamstown (11-4) at Box Hill City Oval this weekend in a dress rehearsal for next week’s first semi final.
Casey (9-6) is only one game ahead of Sandringham (8-7) in fifth, but a superior percentage (135.5% to 124.8%) means it’s unlikely the Scorpions could be overtaken by the Zebras unless Sandringham inflicts a particularly heavy defeat on them at Trevor Barker Beach Oval on Saturday.
Sitting nervously in fourth with a relatively poor percentage of 113.0% is Coburg (9-6), which will need to defeat the Northern Blues at Preston City Oval on Sunday to guarantee a finals berth if the Zebras do manage to knock off Casey the previous day.
