SEN’s Dwayne Russell has picked out his five worst losses from Round 24.

Russell picked his losers from 1-5, with number one being the loss that he felt was most disappointing from the round that was.

Check out Russell’s top five wins from the weekend below.

1. Fremantle
def by Port Adelaide (67-87) – Optus Stadium

“That’s the worst loss of any team on the weekend. At home, their crowd, a win and they're in and instead they got a lesson from Port.

“A lesson in style and a lesson in toughness. What a sad, sad end that is for a Fremantle fan.”

2. GWS
def by Western Bulldogs (61-98) – Mars Stadium

“Still finish fourth, but they are, I think the most likely out of the teams in the top four to finish with straight set losses I reckon.

“I think they’re gettable, and finishing fourth makes them very vulnerable now. I think they’ll lose their first final at the SCG to the Swans who are flying at the moment.”

3. Carlton
def by St Kilda (74-76) – Marvel Stadium

“Still made it but wow, I don’t think Carlton’s in the top two when it comes to the worst losses on the weekend.

“A win could’ve meant a home elimination final versus Hawthorn or the Dogs, but they still got lucky.

“If Carlton had won, they still would have ended up as eighth. So in the end the loss didn’t actually cost them anything.”

4. West Coast
def by Geelong (75-168) – GMHBA Stadium

5. North Melbourne
def by Hawthorn (46-170) – University of Tasmania Stadium

“North need to show some improvement next year because they certainly haven’t this year.”
