Join John (@johnloydroberts) Jazz and Ed as they discuss round 19 gone and round 20 ahead. Plus Ed has a few new rule change ideas. Also The Western Bulldogs have bolstered their finals chances with a decisive 41-point victory against the Essendon Bombers, winning 13.12 (90) to 7.7 (49). The Bulldogs exhibited a dominant second-half performance, solidifying their ninth victory in the last 10 games against the Bombers. Marcus Bontempelli and Tom Liberatore were critical to the Dogs' success, while a quad injury to Essendon's Jordan Ridley could hinder the Bombers' finals campaign. Despite an energetic start, Essendon's momentum dwindled, and the Bulldogs' aggressive, attacking style eventually triumphed.

The Brisbane Lions managed to secure an 11-point victory against Geelong at the Gabba, despite their lead narrowing considerably in the last quarter. The final score was 9.10 (64) to 7.11 (53), with Cal Ah Chee playing a crucial role in the Lions' victory with a significant mark and clutch goal. This triumph allows Brisbane to maintain its top-two chances, despite a knee injury suffered by Will Ashcroft, a first-year sensation. The Lions had kept Geelong to only one goal in the first half thanks to their stifling defensive pressure.

Richmond kept their finals hopes alive with a thrilling one-point victory over Hawthorn, winning 14.12 (96) to 15.5 (95) due to a six-goal turnaround in the final quarter. This was a devastating blow for the Hawks, who were dominant in the first three quarters. However, they tired and conceded the final six goals of the match, allowing the Tigers to secure the win in the last minute of play with a snap from Liam Baker.
