Well 3rd played 6th and it would seem with the very close lead ups GWS only had a quarter of footy left in them but you have to feel a bit for the ones that didn't make it to the Granny with Mad Mondays beforehand-

Geelong, Brisbane, Collingwood and West Coast all looking forward to next season no doubt but at least GWS got to run out there on the big day.
The rest week for all has certainly changed the GF format it seems.
