AFL Fantasy News: The Top 8 Is Set
Fantasy coaches have made all the changes they can and now have to hope they have the right team to win their leagues. It would have been a good game for fantasy teams with Collingwood's running defenders, and Mark Ricciuto also played well but very few people would have him in their AFL fantasy teams. The Crows started the game like their season was on the line, and it was, but Collingwood had a big second quarter that would have had St Kilda fans applauding. The Crows again increased their lead before Collingwood caught up, but the Crows fought off the challenge and booked a finals spot, which might even see them play the Magpies next week.

Collingwood

H Shaw: H Shaw, Clement and Lockyer all had a lot of the ball with 20 or more kicks each, Shaw had 24 kicks and 16 marks.
