All teams close on points. One of these teams will likely drop out of the 8 at the seasons end.

I need to take a look at each clubs run home. Without seeing it, I'm thinking either Bendigo or Williamstown.
Run home North Port
5 Williamstown 15 8 6 1 0 1344 1253 107.26 34 (bye, blues H, Sandy H, Geelong A)
6 Box Hill Hawks 15 8 7 0 0 1352 1201 112.57 32 (Coburg H, Port A, bye, Bendigo A -night game)
7 Bendigo 15 8 7 0 0 1443 1391 103.74 32 (Collingwood H, Bye, Port A, Box Hill H- night game)
8 Sandringham 14 8 6 0 0 1371 1329 103.16 32 (Frankston H, Collingwood H, Williamstown A, Casey A)
9 North Ballarat 15 8 7 0 0 1427 1494 95.52 32 (Geelong H, Werribee A, bye, Port H)
Sandringham has a game in hand. Box Hill has a good percentage break on Bendigo and the roosters. Williamstown, courtesy of the draw the percentage does not matter.
Williamstown maybe 2 wins
Box Hill 1 win and a possible 2
Bendigo 1 win and a possible 2
Sandringham 2 wins and maybe 3
North Ballarat have 3 tough games. Capable of winning all three or none. Games at Eureka might see them win at least 2.
Looking at the scenarios the Bendigo v Box Hill night game could be the one that decides eighth spot.
