Round 15 of the AFL saw a number of upsets take place in very crucial matches, meaning the finals equation has got a hell of a lot more complicated.

Essendon’s six-point win over GWS, North Melbourne’s demolition of Collingwood, Port Adelaide’s shock loss to the Bulldogs and Fremantle’s last-gasp defeat at the hands of Carlton have blown the race for eighth spot wide open.

Can the Dockers hold onto the coveted finals spot after a horror fortnight? Can Port Adelaide or Essendon sneak in and steal their spot?

Can the Kangaroos or Swans mount a stunning late-season fightback?

We got Roar editor Stirling Coates to analyse the run home and make a call on who will be there when September rolls around.

Listen to the discussion:
