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!
West Coast
- Beat GWS and Adelaide
Adam Simpson's men could struggle here. They've got to face the two best teams in the competition over the final two weeks, and that starts with a red-hot Giants at Spotless Stadium.
Should the Eagles win their last two matches they'll certainly have deserved a spot in September, but they've been too inconsistent all season long, which makes us believe they'll drop one of these games and miss out.
Prediction: 10th
