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!
The Demons have the easiest task out of all of the teams vying for the final two spots in the eight.
All they need to do is beat Brisbane and Collingwood - two teams who have been poor for the majority of the season - and they'll be in their first finals series since 2006.
Prediction: 7th
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
With two spots up for grabs and the Bulldogs one of three sides on 44 points, they'll be relying on West Coast to drop at least one game, given the Demons should do enough to play in September.
They can't just count their next two matches as wins however, with both Port Adelaide and Hawthorn presenting very tough challenges.
They certainly aren't a lock to win both of those games, and if you're asking us, they might not win either.
Prediction: 11th
Despite being a game behind the three sides above them, the Bombers surprisingly probably have the easiest run.
The Suns and Dockers are both playing very poor football at the moment, so Essendon should have no problem accounting for both those sides.
With our predictions of the Eagles and Bulldogs both losing at least one game, the Bombers could stroll into September on the back of two wins.
Prediction: 8th
Given the Saints' poor percentage, they are really going to struggle to make the eight.
They must ensure three teams above them lose both of their remaining matches, but before any of that comes into play, they'll have to beat both North Melbourne and Richmond, and that isn't certain the way they've played all season.
Prediction: 12th
Despite having the longest list of requirements, the Hawks are probably a better chance for the finals ahead of St Kilda.
They need to beat Carlton and the Bulldogs (which they certainly can do on current form) and hope the Eagles and Dogs lose both their games.
Needing the Bombers to drop one from their two easy games will be the road block for the Hawks, but if Essendon do somehow slip up, Hawthorn could find themselves playing September football.
Prediction: 9th
