All times AEST.Adams to likely miss another GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To play: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Sunday 7:40 pmWin or even Miss: Complete 1stAnalysis: There are no practical cases where the Swans crash to win the slight premiership. There are actually impractical ones, though! A 100-point reduction, while Port Adelaide defeats Fremantle through one hundred aspects, will carry out it.Fox Footy's prophecy: Win as well as end up 1st, lot Geelong in a qualifying final2. PORT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To play: Fremantle at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish second if GWS loses OR triumphes and also does not comprise 7-8 goal portion void, 3rd if GWS victories and also makes up 7-8 target portion gapLose: Complete second if GWS sheds (and also Port may not be trumped through 7-8 targets more than the Giants), 3rd if GWS succeeds, fourth in very unlikely instance Geelong wins and also makes up huge portion gapAnalysis: The Electrical power will definitely have the advantage of knowing their exact scenario moving into their ultimate video game, though there's an extremely real opportunity they'll be practically latched into second. And also regardless they're going to be actually playing in the Second Qualifying Final. Their percent lead on GWS is actually around 7-8 targets, and on Geelong it's closer to twenty, so they're perhaps not getting recorded by the Pet cats. Consequently if the Giants gain, the Electrical power will definitely need to win to secure second spot - yet so long as they do not receive surged through a despairing Dockers edge, percent shouldn't be a complication. (If they gain through a number of objectives, GWS would certainly require to gain through 10 targets to record all of them, and so on) Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and also finish 2nd, host GWS in a training final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To participate in: Western Bulldogs at Mars Arena, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete second if Slot Adelaide loses OR victories yet quits 7-8 target lead on portion, 3rd if Port Adelaide gains as well as holds portion leadLose: End up second if Port Adelaide is actually trumped by 7-8 goals greater than they are actually, third if Port Adelaide gains OR sheds however holds percentage lead as well as Geelong drops OR triumphes and also does not make up 10-goal percentage gap, 4th if Geelong success and makes up 10-goal portion gapAnalysis: They are actually latched right into the leading four, and are likely having fun in the second vs 3rd training last, though Geelong certainly recognizes how to surge West Coast at GMHBA Coliseum. That is actually the only means the Giants will drop out of participating in Port Adelaide a substantial gain due to the Pussy-cats on Sunday (our team are actually talking 10+ goals) and after that a Giants loss to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Pussy-cats do not succeed significant (or succeed in any way), the Giants will definitely be actually betting throwing civil rights to the Second Qualifying Final. They may either comprise a 7-8 goal gap in percentage to pass Port Adelaide, or even just hope Freo trumps them.Fox Footy's prediction: Lose and end up third, away to Port Adelaide in a training finalZach Tuohy clarifies decision to retire|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To play: West Shoreline Eagles at GMHBA Stadium, Sunday 1:45 pmWin: End up 3rd if GWS sheds and quits 10-goal percentage lead, 4th if GWS gains OR sheds yet keeps amount lead (edge circumstance they can meet second along with enormous win) Lose: End Up fourth if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton drop, 5th if 3 shed, 6th if 2 drop, 7th if one drops, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they really tightened that people up. From resembling they were visiting build percent as well as lock up a top-four place, right now the Pet cats need to succeed simply to assure themselves the double chance, with 4 crews wishing they lose to West Coastline so they can easily pinch fourth from all of them. On the in addition edge, this is one of the most unbalanced competition in contemporary footy, with the Eagles shedding nine straight journeys to Kardinia Park through approximately 10+ targets. It is actually certainly not outlandish to imagine the Felines gaining by that frame, and in blend along with even a slender GWS reduction, they would certainly be actually moving right into an away certifying last vs Slot Adelaide (for the 3rd attend five times!). Typically a win must send all of them to the SCG. If the Pet cats really shed, they will probably be actually sent in to an elimination final on our predictions, completely down to 8th! Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and finish 4th, away to Sydney in a training final5. BRISBANE LIONS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To play: Essendon at the Gabba, Saturday 7:30 pmWin: End up fourth if Geelong drops, fifth if Geelong winsLose: Complete 5th if Western side Bulldogs lose and also Hawthorn shed AND Carlton drop and also Fremantle drop OR win but crash to get over huge amount gap, 6th if three of those happen, 7th if 2 happen, 8th if one happens, miss out on finals if none happenAnalysis: Not just performed they police one more distressing reduction to the Pies, however they got the wrong crew over all of them shedding! If the Lions were actually entering into Round 24 anticipating Port or even GWS to shed, they will still have a true chance at the top 4, but certainly Geelong doesn't shed in the home to West Shoreline? As long as the Kitties get the job done, the Cougars need to be tied for an eradication ultimate. Trumping the Bombing planes would certainly then promise them fifth place (and also's the edge of the bracket you wish, if it implies avoiding the Bulldogs as well as Hawks in full week one, and very likely receiving Geelong in full week 2). A surprise reduction to Essendon would certainly see Chris Fagan's edge nervously viewing on Sunday to view the amount of staffs pass them ... theoretically they can skip the eight entirely, but it is actually very outlandish for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's forecast: Win and also finish 5th, lot Carlton in an elimination finalSelfish Lions recorded keeping away from allies|01:046. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To play: GWS Giants at Mars Coliseum, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong and also Brisbane shed, fifth if one sheds, sixth if both winLose: End up sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton and Fremantle drop, 7th if two drop, 8th if one sheds, overlook finals if they all winAnalysis: Aggravatingly for the Bulldogs, they can easily still overlook the 8, even with having the AFL's second-best percentage and 13 victories (which no person has EVER missed the 8 along with). In reality it is actually a quite real option - they still need to take care of business against an in-form GWS to guarantee their area in September. However that's not the only thing at stake the Dogs would promise on their own a home final along with a success (probably at the MCG vs Hawthorn), but regardless of whether they stay in the eight after dropping, they might be heading to Brisbane for that eradication last. At the various other end of the range, there's still a very small chance they can easily slip in to the top four, though it requires West Coastline to defeat Geelong in Geelong, as well as Essendon to trump Brisbane in Brisbane ... thereby a small opportunity. Fox Footy's prediction: Win as well as complete 6th, 'hold' Hawthorn in an elimination final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To play: North Melbourne at UTAS Stadium, Sunday 4:35 pmWin: Finish fourth if Geelong, Brisbane as well as Western Bulldogs all lose and also Carlton sheds OR success but loses big to overtake them on amount (approx. 4 goals) fifth if three take place, 6th if 2 take place, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Fremantle drops and also Carlton loses while remaining overdue on percent, 8th if one sheds, miss finals if both winAnalysis: Our team prefer to be the Hawks than the Bulldogs today, due to who they've received entrusted to experience. Sam Mitchell's males are a succeed off of September, and only need to have to function against an injury-hit North Melbourne who looked horrendous versus stated Pets on Sunday. There's even an extremely long shot they slip in to the best 4 even more realistically they'll gain on their own an MCG eradication final, either against the Dogs, Freo or even Carlton. (The best-case instance is perhaps the Pet dogs dropping, so the Hawks end up 6th and also participate in cry.) If they are actually upset by North though, they're equally as terrified as the Canines, expecting Carlton and Fremantle to see if they are actually kicked out of the eight.Fox Footy's forecast: Win and also finish 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in an eradication finalMagic of Hok-ball explained|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To participate in: St Kilda at Wonder Arena, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and Hawthorn all drop OR Hawks win but fall behind Blues on amount (approx. 4 objectives), 5th if 3 occur, 6th if pair of occur, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Hawthorn loses by good enough to fall back on percent AND Fremantle sheds, 8th if one occurs, or else miss out on finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home condition definitely assisted them out this weekend break. Fremantle's loss, integrated along with cry' win over West Coast, sees them inside the 8 and even capable to participate in finals if they're outplayed by St Kilda upcoming full week. (Though they will be left praying for Slot to defeat Freo.) Realistically they are actually going to desire to beat the Saints to assure on their own a location in September - and also to give on their own an odds of an MCG elimination last. If both the Canines and also Hawks drop, cry can even host that ultimate, though our company would certainly be pretty stunned if the Hawks shed. Percentage is most likely ahead in to play thanks to Carlton's massive sway West Shoreline - they might need to pump the Saints to prevent participating in Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and also end up 8th, away to Brisbane in a removal final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To play: Port Adelaide at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish 6th if Western Side Bulldogs, Hawthorn and Carlton lose, 7th if two lose, 8th if one sheds, skip finals if each one of all of them winLose: Are going to miss out on finalsAnalysis: Oh terrific, an additional cause to detest West Shoreline. Their competitors' incapacity to defeat cry' B-team means the Dockers are at true risk of their Around 24 game becoming a lifeless rubber. The equation is pretty straightforward - they require a minimum of some of the Canines, Hawks or even Blues to drop before they play Port. If that happens, the Dockers can succeed their technique in to September. If all 3 succeed, they'll be gotten rid of due to the time they take the industry. (Technically Freo can additionally capture Brisbane on amount yet it is actually incredibly improbable.) Fox Footy's prediction: Shed and overlook finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood may actually still play finals, but needs to have to compose a percentage gap of 30+ objectives to record Carlton, plus Fremantle has to lose.
