Perpetuity AEST.Adams to potentially overlook yet another GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To participate in: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Saturday 7:40 pmWin or even Miss: Complete 1stAnalysis: There are no sensible cases where the Swans go belly up to win the slight premiership. There are outlandish ones, though! A 100-point reduction, while Slot Adelaide trumps Fremantle by one hundred factors, would certainly carry out it.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and also complete 1st, multitude Geelong in a qualifying final2. SLOT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To play: Fremantle at Optus Stadium, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Complete second if GWS sheds OR wins as well as doesn't comprise 7-8 goal portion space, 3rd if GWS wins and comprises 7-8 target amount gapLose: Finish second if GWS loses (as well as Port may not be defeated through 7-8 targets greater than the Giants), 3rd if GWS succeeds, fourth in very extremely unlikely scenario Geelong gains as well as composes huge amount gapAnalysis: The Power will definitely possess the benefit of understanding their specific instance heading right into their ultimate game, though there is actually a really actual possibility they'll be actually practically latched in to 2nd. As well as in either case they're going to be playing in the Second Qualifying Final. Their percent bait GWS is actually approximately 7-8 objectives, as well as on Geelong it's closer to twenty, so they are actually perhaps not receiving caught by the Pet cats. As a result if the Giants succeed, the Power is going to need to have to succeed to lock up 2nd spot - yet provided that they don't get thrashed by a despairing Dockers side, amount should not be actually a complication. (If they succeed through a couple of objectives, GWS would need to have to gain by 10 goals to catch them, and so on) Fox Footy's prophecy: Succeed and finish second, host GWS in a qualifying final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To play: Western Bulldogs at Mars Coliseum, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete 2nd if Slot Adelaide drops OR triumphes but gives up 7-8 target lead on amount, 3rd if Port Adelaide wins as well as keeps amount leadLose: Complete second if Port Adelaide is actually beaten by 7-8 targets greater than they are actually, third if Slot Adelaide wins OR loses however holds portion lead AND Geelong drops OR wins as well as doesn't comprise 10-goal percentage gap, 4th if Geelong wins as well as makes up 10-goal amount gapAnalysis: They're locked in to the best four, and also are likely having fun in the second vs 3rd qualifying ultimate, though Geelong undoubtedly understands just how to whip West Coast at GMHBA Coliseum. That's the only method the Giants will leave of playing Port Adelaide a massive win by the Felines on Sunday (our experts are actually chatting 10+ objectives) and after that a Giants loss to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Pussy-cats do not succeed huge (or even succeed in all), the Giants will be playing for throwing civil liberties to the Second Qualifying Final. They can either comprise a 7-8 target space in amount to pass Port Adelaide, or even simply really hope Freo trumps them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Shed and also complete third, away to Port Adelaide in a certifying finalZach Tuohy explains decision to retire|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To participate in: West Shoreline Eagles at GMHBA Arena, Saturday 1:45 pmWin: Complete third if GWS loses and also gives up 10-goal amount top, fourth if GWS wins OR sheds but keeps percent lead (edge scenario they can easily meet 2nd along with gigantic gain) Lose: Complete 4th if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton shed, fifth if 3 drop, 6th if pair of drop, 7th if one sheds, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they truly tightened that up. Coming from resembling they were actually mosting likely to construct percent and also lock up a top-four area, today the Felines need to have to succeed merely to ensure on their own the double possibility, with 4 teams wishing they drop to West Coastline so they may squeeze fourth coming from them. On the in addition side, this is the most unequal matchup in contemporary footy, along with the Eagles shedding 9 direct travels to Kardinia Park through approximately 10+ targets. It's not outlandish to think of the Cats winning through that margin, and also in mix along with also a narrow GWS loss, they would certainly be actually moving right into an away qualifying last vs Port Adelaide (for the third attend five times!). Or else a gain ought to deliver all of them to the SCG. If the Kitties in fact drop, they will probably be delivered in to an elimination final on our prophecies, completely up to 8th! Fox Footy's forecast: Win as well as finish 4th, away to Sydney in a training final5. BRISBANE COUGARS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To play: Essendon at the Gabba, Saturday 7:30 pmWin: Finish fourth if Geelong sheds, fifth if Geelong winsLose: Complete 5th if Western Bulldogs lose as well as Hawthorn lose and also Carlton drop as well as Fremantle shed OR win yet go under to get rid of huge percent gap, sixth if three of those happen, 7th if two happen, 8th if one takes place, miss finals if none happenAnalysis: Not merely did they police another distressing loss to the Pies, yet they got the incorrect group above them shedding! If the Lions were going into Round 24 wishing for Slot or GWS to drop, they 'd still have a genuine shot at the leading four, but certainly Geelong doesn't lose in the home to West Coastline? As long as the Kitties get the job done, the Cougars need to be actually bound for an eradication final. Defeating the Bombing planes will at that point guarantee them 5th place (which's the side of the bracket you prefer, if it suggests avoiding the Bulldogs as well as Hawks in week one, and probably receiving Geelong in week pair of). A surprise loss to Essendon would certainly find Chris Fagan's edge nervously checking out on Sunday to see how many crews pass them ... practically they can miss out on the eight entirely, but it is quite unrealistic for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and also complete 5th, host Carlton in an elimination finalSelfish Cougars recorded avoiding colleagues|01:046. WESTERN BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To play: GWS Giants at Mars Arena, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong and also Brisbane shed, fifth if one drops, 6th if each winLose: Complete sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton and Fremantle shed, 7th if 2 lose, 8th if one loses, skip finals if they all winAnalysis: Aggravatingly for the Bulldogs, they may still skip the 8, regardless of possessing the AFL's second-best amount and also 13 victories (which no one has actually ever before skipped the 8 with). Actually it's a quite genuine opportunity - they still require to perform against an in-form GWS to guarantee their spot in September. However that's not the only trait at stake the Pets would promise themselves a home last with a success (probably at the MCG vs Hawthorn), however even though they remain in the 8 after shedding, they could be heading to Brisbane for that eradication last. At the other end of the range, there is actually still a tiny possibility they may sneak in to the leading four, though it needs West Shoreline to beat Geelong in Geelong, and Essendon to beat Brisbane in Brisbane ... thereby a small chance. Fox Footy's forecast: Win and also end up 6th, 'hold' Hawthorn in an eradication final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To participate in: North Melbourne at UTAS Arena, Saturday 4:35 pmWin: Finish fourth if Geelong, Brisbane as well as Western Bulldogs all drop and also Carlton loses OR triumphes yet goes bust to surpass all of them on amount (approx. 4 targets) 5th if three take place, 6th if two take place, 7th if one happens, 8th if none happenLose: Complete 7th if Fremantle loses as well as Carlton drops while staying overdue on amount, 8th if one loses, miss finals if each winAnalysis: Our company would rather be the Hawks than the Bulldogs now, because of that they have actually got delegated to experience. Sam Mitchell's men are actually a win off of September, and simply require to take care of business against an injury-hit North Melbourne who looked dreadful against mentioned Pet dogs on Sunday. There is actually even a quite long shot they creep right into the leading four more truthfully they'll make themselves an MCG eradication last, either versus the Pets, Freo or Carlton. (The best-case instance is actually probably the Pets shedding, so the Hawks complete 6th as well as play cry.) If they are actually upset by North though, they're just like frightened as the Canines, waiting on Carlton as well as Fremantle to see if they're evicted of the eight.Fox Footy's forecast: Win as well as finish 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in an elimination finalMagic of Hok-ball detailed|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To play: St Kilda at Marvel Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Finish fourth if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and also Hawthorn all drop OR Hawks win however fall behind Blues on percentage (approx. 4 targets), 5th if three occur, 6th if 2 happen, 7th if one happens, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Hawthorn loses through enough to fall behind on amount as well as Fremantle loses, 8th if one takes place, otherwise overlook finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home condition really helped all of them out this weekend. Fremantle's loss, combined with the Blues' draw West Coast, finds them inside the 8 and also also able to participate in finals if they are actually outplayed by Street Kilda following week. (Though they will be left behind praying for Slot to trump Freo.) Genuinely they're going to want to beat the Saints to assure on their own an area in September - and also to offer on their own a chance of an MCG eradication final. If both the Dogs and also Hawks shed, the Blues might also host that ultimate, though our company will be pretty stunned if the Hawks shed. Percent is actually likely ahead into play with the help of Carlton's massive gain West Coastline - they might need to push the Saints to avoid participating in Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's forecast: Win as well as finish 8th, away to Brisbane in a removal final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To participate in: Port Adelaide at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Complete sixth if Western Side Bulldogs, Hawthorn and also Carlton shed, 7th if 2 lose, 8th if one drops, skip finals if each one of all of them winLose: Are going to skip finalsAnalysis: Oh great, an additional reason to despise West Shore. Their rivals' failure to beat cry' B-team indicates the Dockers are at genuine danger of their Round 24 game coming to be a lifeless rubber. The equation is fairly basic - they need at least some of the Canines, Hawks or Blues to lose before they participate in Port. If that takes place, the Dockers may succeed their method right into September. If all three gain, they'll be actually gotten rid of due to the time they get the industry. (Technically Freo can also record Brisbane on percentage however it is actually exceptionally unlikely.) Fox Footy's prediction: Drop as well as skip finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood can technically still participate in finals, but needs to have to compose a percent space of 30+ goals to catch Carlton, plus Fremantle has to shed.
