BRISBANE COUGARS (13-6-1, 125.1%) Last week: Placed 1st, def St Kilda through 85 ptsThis week: GWS Giants at the Gabba, Sunday 1:45 pm2. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (12-8, 122.4%) Last week: Rated 2nd, def Melbourne by 51 ptsThis full week: Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pmWith the Swans decreasing a high cliff, if we needed to forecast a Grand Final immediately, this would be it. It may not also be feasible - if the Bulldogs can't break the leading four, they can be on an inescapable conflict in a prelim. But in a pair of video games that our experts presumed were actually prospective fruit peels, both they and Brisbane were actually dominant. The Pet dogs' support is magnificent today in spite of all their staffs issues, No. 2 for aspects made it possible for and also No. 1 for points allowed coming from turnovers over the last 6 weeks, while the Lions have actually lifted because team over that duration at the same time (and also they extremely needed to have to). Given exactly how properly Brisbane are actually going you really must question, would certainly they be actually the totally prevalent banner favourite now if they had not copped a lot of ACL accidents? To be within this position provided those strikes is actually extremely outstanding, and also the Bulldogs are as near a serious banner competitor as they have actually been actually for years. What our company have actually know over the final handful of periods is actually that the AFL's efforts to take affordable harmony mean staffs may actually get going mid-season and surge into the premiership ethnicity - we have to quit eliminating talented listings when they start slowly.Kingy unleashes on 'alarming' Swans|03:523. SYDNEY SWANS (14-6, 126.1%) Last week: Positioned third, dropped to Slot Adelaide by 112 ptsNo issue where you look, Sunday night was actually embarrassingly bad. There are actually just a few comparables to THIS type of loss for a resulting premier, but none were this negative. In reality no V/AFL premier has dropped a game by much more than one hundred points that season, as well as the biggest reduction by a possible premier in the AFL age was Slot Adelaide getting pushed by 92 points versus the Kangaroos in Sphere 8, 2004. The bigger trouble is actually that this isn't pretty much the final two full weeks over the last 6 they're 17th for contended possessions, 18th for groundball acquires, 18th for approvals, 17th for points from turn over differential and 15th for tension ranking. A blowout reduction will definitely blow those stats out at the same time yet they possess absolutely nothing like a premier's account because the start of July. Thus why perform our company still possess them 3rd? Well you don't rest a thousand video games clear on top of the step ladder for no reason possibly the rest of the AFL has actually found them out yet our company still possess some assurance the Swans can easily discover something near their ideal. And also they ought to still complete top 2, which establishes them up as well as possible.This full week: Collingwood at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmLongmire counters at "self-centered" remarks|01:004. SLOT ADELAIDE (13-7, 113.6%) Recently: Placed 9th, def Sydney by 112 ptsUnfortunately for the Power, when you win a game through THAT considerably, the tale is actually always concerning the losing team and also exactly how the hell they were that negative. Thus let's offer Slot some ought to have approval, due to the fact that they are truly appearing like a top-four team immediately, as well as could be severe! Over the final six weeks they're No. 2 in the AFL for points racked up, No. 1 for factors against, No. 3 for contested belongings and also No. 3 for clearances - yes the magnitude of the Sydney win tosses those statistics out a bit, but they've plainly found some actual form. And also if they've closed the void between where they were, during that 5th to 8th bracket, to the bottom end of the best four they are actually truly in the prelim last nationality. Which will be actually a decent outcome provided the basic character of disappointment this season possesses or else held.This full week: Melbourne at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm5. FREMANTLE (12-7-1, 116.7%) Last week: Ranked 4th, lost to Essendon by 1 ptIt need to be acquiring discouraging for Dockers enthusiasts - their team has dropped 4 games they led at three-quarter-time this year, pair of greater than any person else. And it would certainly've been a handy win over the Bombers also, provided the Swans' reduction earlier on the weekend break. Regardless of them needing to face 3 crews sitting over all of them on the step ladder over the final 3 weeks our experts are actually not too concerned they truly ought to gain their pair of remaining home video games, which will suffice to participate in finals, and also even on thirteen and a half succeeds their exceptional amount will really perform some good holding off Essendon. This isn't the Freo of the past - they're No. 1 for factors scored over the last six weeks, and also it's the first time due to the fact that 2013 they've been actually No. 1 in the comp over any kind of six-week period.This week: Geelong at Optus Arena, Sunday 4:35 pmEmmett handed ban for risky take on|00:226. GWS GIANTS (13-7, 111.2%) Recently: Placed 8th, def Hawthorn through 2 ptsThey looked nowhere near it with 3 fourths against the Hawks, however after that advised every person of the market value of celebrities. Toby Greene is actually rather excellent, it turns out. Prospective Coleman victor Jesse Hogan has actually been great for 18 months. And also Brent Daniels, some of their additional underrated stars during their current effectiveness, was a big factor in the comeback along with a tremendous 12 last-quarter disposals. Provided the Lions' protective absentees is there some chance Hogan as well as the team get a hold of the Brisbane back 6 and also take a severe upset on Sunday? They are actually gon na need to win another activity to participate in finals footy (as well as it might even be limited on 14 triumphes) so they may at the same time acquire it carried out ASAP.This week: Brisbane Lions at the Gabba, Saturday 1:45 pmKingsley kindles healthy GWS settings|02:167. CARLTON (12-8, 112.1%) Recently: Ranked 5th, lost to Collingwood by 3 ptsWe are actually visiting always keep believing in cry up until they force our palm, given that there's still so much going their technique. Yes they've lost 4 of their final five video games, but three of those were actually only by a couple of objectives, and last Saturday evening was virtually made a decision through a kick. Maybe extra significantly they are actually still the No. 1 crew in the AFL for factors from turn over differential - the best important scoring resource. A monstrous 19 of the final twenty teams to rank No. 1 in that stat have actually created a preliminary last or much better. They're discriminatory, because they're 16th for factors from spaces over the last six weeks, but you prefer to be turnover-focused (as they are this year) than stoppage-focused (as they were in 2015). It would certainly join a calamity if this crew overlooked the 8, provided the assumptions and where they were merely a month earlier, but if they shed to the Hawks the opportunity is actually live.This full week: Hawthorn at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm8. GEELONG (13-7, 108.9%) Last week: Rated 6th, def Adelaide through 5 ptsFunny how the Pet cats are both quite well-placed in a limited finals ethnicity and providing us a lot less peace of mind in their top quality simultaneously. The frame probably should not have been very that strict versus Adelaide, yet it was actually, as well as our company most likely need to stop discussing Kardinia Playground as a fortress - offered they are actually 5-3 in the home, 2 of those victories getting single finger scopes. Yet once again, they are actually well-placed on thirteen triumphes and with West Shore in your home to follow in the ultimate around. Pinch a draw the Dockers or St Kilda before that, as well as they're properly and absolutely secure in the 8. There are still some factors for self-confidence, like Patrick Dangerfield locating type as well as the midfield conducting quite possibly general versus the Crows, plus the protection has risen more than the last six weeks (No. 5 for factors yielded). But despite the fact that the top 4 is actually accessible, they don't think that a leading 4 team.This full week: Fremantle at Optus Stadium, Sunday 4:35 pmRobbo exposes Tomahawks' highests|03:489. HAWTHORN (11-9, 104.1%) Last week: Ranked 7th, shed to GWS through 2 ptsSunday's activity is the absolute most important for any one crew our experts have actually observed until now in 2024. That is actually due to the fact that Hawthorn's outcome against Carlton are going to effectively determine their time. They've got a wide-open pathway to 14 victories with a triumph, and also no group has actually also skipped the leading 8 along with 13 victories just before. However shed as well as they're probably visiting be pair of video games away from the 8 along with 2 to participate in, a virtually unworkable setting. They are still doing a whole lot right yet the issue we knew about coming into the period, their protection, stands out at a bad time - over the final 6 weeks they are actually No. 1 for interior fifties against, but 17th for credit ratings every inside 50 against. So groups may not be ascertaining certainly there much, however when they carry out, they are actually scoring at will. There is actually a little bit of misery during that but it's certainly not all luck. As our team have actually composed previously, regardless of whether the Hawks miss out on the finals this time has been actually extraordinary, however jeez it would certainly be actually discouraging when they're therefore near one of the very best tales in years.This week: Carlton at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm10. ESSENDON (11-8-1, 95.9%) Last week: Rated 12th, def Fremantle by 1 ptTurns out our team failed to remember how important Darcy Parish is to this staff. After a peaceful initial video game back he was actually tremendous against a star-studded Freo midfield. With him this period, the Bombing planes are +20 for spaces and +18 from facility spaces without him they are actually -17 as well as +4 specifically. That win over Freo could possibly acquire all of them in to the finals yet there is actually likewise a legitimate odds someone overlooks with 14 wins, especially if the Hawks defeated Carlton this weekend break, as well as for the Bombers their draw as well as their bad percent possess the exact same effect of producing all of them drop tiebreakers. It would be actually pretty harsh if they succeeded thirteen and an one-half video games as well as missed out yet concurrently, this is what happens when you lose to non-finalists Melbourne, Adelaide and Street Kilda - you sign up with them.This week: Gold Shore Suns at Marvel Coliseum, Sunday 7:30 pm' He's sheltering them from the tension'|03:0311. COLLINGWOOD (10-8-2, 100.2%) Last week: Placed 13th, def Carlton through 2 ptsSo the inquiry is actually, are they back? They need to be near their best to bring in the eight away - Melbourne won't be actually playing for just about anything in Cycle 24 so you would certainly believe the Magpies gain that one, however facing the best two over the next pair of full weeks is rather hard. Possibly they've timed this clash with Sydney well, however our company're not confident Collingwood is good enough to defeat the step ladder leaders, even in this stressed state. It costs keeping in mind the Magpies are actually simply 16th for inside 50s over the final six full weeks, yet 3rd for scores per inside fifty, therefore efficiency is actually keeping all of them going. Their support has actually been nowhere near acceptable over that time period so they're heading to require to take their odds to stop the Swans, as well as if they carry out, then the various other opponents will start to fret. No person desires to face a brought back Magpies in September.This week: Sydney Swans at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmMagpies find finals identify against swans|00:3012. MELBOURNE (10-10, 97.9%) Recently: Rated 10th, dropped to Western Bulldogs through 51 ptsFor the first time this years the Demons are going to move into the AFL season's lifeless region, participating in out the string with nothing on the line. In a way, being successfully away from the finals race ought to be relieving - they can easily play for 2025, trialling gamers in brand new postures and also sending painful players in for early surgeries. After all examine Geelong and also Fremantle, that transformed extremely frustrating 2023 periods into likely 2024 finals berths you can not pass over the capability of staffs who have actually had effectiveness to simply bounce back a year later. Heck, Collingwood is the most ideal instance. All of this is why our company are actually not freaking out about Melbourne's scenario certainly not till midway through next year, anyway.This week: Slot Adelaide at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm13. GOLD SHORES SUNLIGHT (9-11, 100.4%) Recently: Ranked 11th, shed to West Coastline by 10 ptsTheir home-away split is absolutely incredible. Home ground conveniences is actually meant to become worth an objective or more - certainly not transform you from outright rubbish into a top-four challenger! We understand we've been actually writing about this all year however the account has coincided all year ... similar to the account of 'kinda being in the combine with 5-6 rounds left behind and afterwards breaking down' has actually been the same for this whole nightclub for period after period. Obtain a brand new gimmick!This full week: Essendon at Marvel Stadium, Saturday 7:30 pmBuckley guidelines himself out of Eagles job|01:1814. ADELAIDE CROWS (7-12-1, 99.8%) Recently: Ranked 15th, shed to Geelong by 5 ptsThis week: Western Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pm15. ST KILDA (8-12, 94.9%) Recently: Placed 14th, lost to Brisbane by 85 ptsThis week: Richmond at Wonder Arena, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, as we said recently, these staffs certainly never possess the same result in the exact same weekend break! Thus after Adelaide's loss on Sunday it is actually time to check the scores for the Saints' activity and-ah. Right. Never mind. For what it costs the Crows possibly weren't as good as the scoreboard advised, obtaining bashed in the competition through a less-than-impressive Geelong midfield, so they were actually each wanting. Allow's view if either group can play spoiler over the ultimate three full weeks - the Saints could ruin Carlton or even Geelong's season, while the Crows could hurt the Pet dogs but additional notably would really love to ruin Port's.

WEST SHORE EAGLES (4-16, 70%) Recently: Ranked 18th, def Gold Coast by 10 ptsThis full week: North Melbourne at Blundstone Field, Sunday 1:45 pm17. NORTH MELBOURNE (3-17, 67%) Recently: Ranked 17th, def Richmond through 16 ptsThis full week: West Shore Eagles at Blundstone Stadium, Sunday 1:45 pm18. RICHMOND (2-18, 64.7%) Recently: Rated 16th, shed to North Melbourne through 16 ptsThis full week: St Kilda at Wonder Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, the two-week Spoonbowl is most likely over, with Richmond really deserving the draw North - they won the game on expected credit rating, off the back of 60 inside 50s to 44 - however kicking themselves into the No. 1 choice. (Which is possibly for the best long-term.) Though to be reasonable, it's achievable the Kangaroos have really mastered goalkicking, given they're No. 1 in the AFL for accuracy this year. West Coast on the other hand was adequately impressive versus a staff playing for it season, along with a season-high tension rating as well as their third-best disputed ownerships win for the year. Due to the fact that Jarrad Schofield took over the Eagles have gone from 17th in the AFL for tension to 8th, which is actually a respectable indicator they're playing for him. Currently all eyes rely on North's attempt to end up outside the bottom 2 for the very first time this many years - while it would still drop to portion, they 'd reside in a good posture with a gain in Hobart.
