All times AEST.Adams to potentially overlook yet another GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To play: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Saturday 7:40 pmWin or Lose: Complete 1stAnalysis: There are no realistic scenarios where the Swans go under to win the small premiership. There are actually impractical ones, though! A 100-point loss, while Slot Adelaide defeats Fremantle by one hundred points, would certainly carry out it.Fox Footy's forecast: Win and also finish 1st, multitude Geelong in a certifying final2. PORT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To participate in: Fremantle at Optus Stadium, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish 2nd if GWS sheds OR wins and does not compose 7-8 objective portion gap, 3rd if GWS triumphes and comprises 7-8 goal percent gapLose: Complete 2nd if GWS sheds (and Port aren't trumped by 7-8 targets more than the Giants), third if GWS wins, fourth in incredibly improbable circumstance Geelong gains and also composes enormous percent gapAnalysis: The Energy is going to possess the advantage of knowing their specific circumstance heading right into their ultimate video game, though there's an extremely genuine odds they'll be actually virtually latched right into 2nd. As well as in any case they're going to be playing in the 2nd Qualifying Final. Their portion lead on GWS is roughly 7-8 goals, as well as on Geelong it's closer to twenty, so they are actually perhaps certainly not obtaining recorded due to the Cats. Consequently if the Giants win, the Power is going to require to win to lock up 2nd area - however so long as they don't get punished through a desperate Dockers side, percentage shouldn't be actually a concern. (If they gain by a couple of targets, GWS will require to gain through 10 targets to record all of them, and so on) Fox Footy's forecast: Win and 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 2nd if Port Adelaide drops OR wins however quits 7-8 objective lead on percentage, 3rd if Slot Adelaide wins and also holds percent leadLose: Complete second if Slot Adelaide is beaten through 7-8 goals greater than they are actually, 3rd if Port Adelaide gains OR loses yet has percent lead and also Geelong loses OR triumphes and also does not compose 10-goal portion space, fourth if Geelong triumphes as well as comprises 10-goal amount gapAnalysis: They are actually secured in to the leading four, and are likely playing in the 2nd vs 3rd certifying last, though Geelong surely understands just how to punish West Shore at GMHBA Stadium. That's the only way the Giants would leave of playing Slot Adelaide an enormous succeed due to the Pet cats on Saturday (our team are actually chatting 10+ objectives) and then a Giants loss to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Felines do not win huge (or even succeed at all), the Giants will be actually playing for throwing civil liberties to the 2nd Qualifying Final. They can easily either comprise a 7-8 goal void in percentage to pass Port Adelaide, or merely really hope Freo defeats them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Lose as well as finish third, away to Port Adelaide in a qualifying finalZach Tuohy describes selection to retire|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To participate in: West Coast Eagles at GMHBA Stadium, Saturday 1:45 pmWin: End up 3rd if GWS loses and also gives up 10-goal percentage lead, 4th if GWS gains OR drops yet holds onto percentage lead (fringe instance they can easily achieve second along with massive gain) Lose: Finish 4th if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and also Carlton shed, 5th if three shed, sixth if 2 drop, 7th if one loses, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they truly tightened that up. From looking like they were going to build percentage and also lock up a top-four spot, right now the Kitties require to gain just to assure themselves the double chance, along with 4 groups hoping they drop to West Coastline so they may pinch 4th coming from them. On the bonus edge, this is the most unbalanced match in modern footy, with the Eagles losing nine direct excursions to Kardinia Playground by an average of 10+ objectives. It's certainly not impractical to visualize the Cats winning through that margin, and in combination with even a slim GWS loss, they would certainly be moving right into an away qualifying last vs Port Adelaide (for the third attend five seasons!). Or else a win ought to send all of them to the SCG. If the Felines actually shed, they will certainly almost certainly be actually delivered right into an eradication final on our forecasts, right to 8th! Fox Footy's prediction: Gain as well as finish fourth, away to Sydney in a certifying final5. BRISBANE COUGARS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To participate in: Essendon at the Gabba, Saturday 7:30 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong loses, fifth if Geelong winsLose: Complete fifth if Western Bulldogs lose and also Hawthorn lose and also Carlton lose as well as Fremantle drop OR win yet go belly up to get over huge amount space, sixth if 3 of those happen, 7th if 2 occur, 8th if one occurs, miss out on finals if none happenAnalysis: Not only performed they police yet another distressing loss to the Pies, yet they received the inappropriate crew over them shedding! If the Lions were actually going into Shot 24 hoping for Port or even GWS to drop, they 'd still possess a true shot at the top 4, however surely Geelong does not lose in the house to West Coast? So long as the Pussy-cats finish the job, the Lions must be bound for an elimination final. Defeating the Bombing planes would certainly then assure all of them 5th area (and that's the edge of the bracket you desire, if it indicates preventing the Bulldogs as well as Hawks in week one, and likely acquiring Geelong in week pair of). A shock loss to Essendon will see Chris Fagan's side nervously watching on Sunday to view the number of staffs pass all of them ... technically they might miss out on the 8 entirely, but it is quite unlikely for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and also complete 5th, multitude Carlton in an elimination finalSelfish Cougars caught steering clear of teammates|01:046. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To play: GWS Giants at Mars Arena, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong and Brisbane lose, 5th if one loses, sixth if both winLose: End up 6th if Hawthorn, Carlton and Fremantle drop, 7th if two drop, 8th if one loses, miss out on finals if they all winAnalysis: Annoyingly for the Bulldogs, they may still miss out on the eight, regardless of possessing the AFL's second-best percentage and 13 wins (which no person has ever before skipped the eight along with). As a matter of fact it's a really genuine opportunity - they still need to have to perform against an in-form GWS to ensure their spot in September. However that is actually not the only thing at concern the Dogs would certainly ensure themselves a home ultimate along with a success (probably at the MCG vs Hawthorn), however even if they remain in the eight after shedding, they could be heading to Brisbane for that elimination ultimate. At the various other end of the spectrum, there is actually still a very small possibility they may sneak in to the top four, though it requires West Coast to beat Geelong in Geelong, as well as Essendon to beat Brisbane in Brisbane ... thereby a small possibility. Fox Footy's prediction: Win and also end up sixth, 'hold' Hawthorn in an eradication final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To play: North Melbourne at UTAS Arena, Saturday 4:35 pmWin: End up fourth if Geelong, Brisbane and also Western Bulldogs all drop as well as Carlton drops OR wins however fails to eclipse all of them on percentage (approx. 4 targets) fifth if three take place, 6th if two take place, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Fremantle sheds AND Carlton drops while remaining behind on portion, 8th if one loses, miss out on finals if each winAnalysis: Our company prefer to be the Hawks than the Bulldogs at the moment, as a result of who they've received delegated experience. Sam Mitchell's men are a gain away from September, and only require to perform against an injury-hit N. Melbourne that looked terrible against said Dogs on Sunday. There's also a very small chance they sneak in to the best 4 additional truthfully they'll gain on their own an MCG removal final, either against the Pets, Freo or even Carlton. (The best-case instance is most likely the Canines dropping, so the Hawks finish 6th as well as play cry.) If they are actually outplayed by North though, they're equally as scared as the Canines, awaiting Carlton as well as Fremantle to observe if they are actually tossed out of the eight.Fox Footy's prediction: Win as well as end up 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 Wonder Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: End up 4th if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and Hawthorn all drop OR Hawks win however fall behind Blues on portion (approx. 4 goals), fifth if 3 take place, sixth if 2 happen, 7th if one happens, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Hawthorn loses by sufficient to fall behind on portion and also Fremantle loses, 8th if one takes place, typically skip finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home condition truly helped all of them out this weekend break. Fremantle's loss, blended along with cry' sway West Shore, observes them inside the 8 and also also able to play finals if they are actually upset by Street Kilda following full week. (Though they will be left praying for Slot to trump Freo.) Reasonably they're mosting likely to wish to defeat the Saints to promise on their own an area in September - as well as to give themselves an opportunity of an MCG eradication last. If both the Pet dogs and Hawks drop, cry could possibly also hold that ultimate, though our company 'd be actually rather stunned if the Hawks lost. Amount is actually very likely to come right into play due to Carlton's significant win over West Shoreline - they might need to push the Saints to prevent participating in Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's prediction: Win and also complete 8th, away to Brisbane in an eradication final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To participate in: Slot Adelaide at Optus Arena, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: End up 6th if Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and also Carlton shed, 7th if two lose, 8th if one loses, miss finals if each one of all of them winLose: Will definitely miss finalsAnalysis: Oh excellent, another main reason to detest West Shoreline. Their competitors' inability to trump the Blues' B-team means the Dockers go to real risk of their Round 24 game coming to be a dead rubber. The equation is actually fairly easy - they need at least among the Canines, Hawks or Blues to drop prior to they play Port. If that occurs, the Dockers can easily win their method into September. If all 3 gain, they'll be actually dealt with by the time they get the industry. (Technically Freo can likewise record Brisbane on amount however it is actually very improbable.) Fox Footy's prediction: Shed as well as miss finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood may actually still play finals, however needs to make up a percentage space of 30+ targets to record Carlton, plus Fremantle needs to shed.
