The Kangaroos have taken the double chance from Hawthorn on the last day of the AFL regular season.

Hawthorn's disastrous 72-point loss to Sydney and the Kangaroos' 64-point win over the Western Bulldogs meant they swapped spots on the ladder, with the `Roos rising from fifth to fourth.

It means minor premiers Geelong will play the Kangaroos in one qualifying final next Saturday, while Port Adelaide will host West Coast in the other.

Collingwood's elimination final against Sydney will probably open the finals series next Friday night and the Hawks will host Adelaide.

The AFL will confirm the finals draw at 6.30pm.
