SIMPSON

1 - Western Bulldogs

2 - Gold Coast

3 - Fremantle

"I'm riding that train. They did nothing to suggest that they're going anywhere other than top four."

4 - Geelong

"They've gone from write-off to four. They've just got a way."

WHATELEY

1 - Western Bulldogs

2 - Brisbane

"I was nearly going to put them up to one, but the Dogs have to have the protected one seed.

"No other team can do what the Lions did in that 10 minutes of footy. They just have to hang in there and mount their challenge at the right time.

"Let's see what happens on Thursday night."

3 - Gold Coast
