Perpetuity AEST.Adams to potentially miss yet another GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To play: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Sunday 7:40 pmWin or even Lose: Finish 1stAnalysis: There are actually no practical instances where the Swans go under to win the slight premiership. There are actually unrealistic ones, though! A 100-point reduction, while Port Adelaide defeats Fremantle by one hundred aspects, would do it.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain as well as finish 1st, host Geelong in a certifying final2. PORT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To play: Fremantle at Optus Arena, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish second if GWS drops OR triumphes and does not make up 7-8 objective percentage gap, 3rd if GWS success and also composes 7-8 target percent gapLose: Finish second if GWS drops (and also Slot may not be beaten through 7-8 objectives much more than the Giants), third if GWS wins, fourth in quite not likely situation Geelong gains and comprises large percentage gapAnalysis: The Electrical power will definitely possess the advantage of recognizing their particular circumstance moving into their ultimate video game, though there's an extremely actual odds they'll be pretty much locked into 2nd. And also either way they are actually going to be playing in the Second Qualifying Final. Their percent lead on GWS is actually around 7-8 objectives, and on Geelong it is actually closer to 20, so they're probably certainly not receiving recorded due to the Pet cats. Consequently if the Giants win, the Electrical power will require to win to secure second place - but just as long as they do not acquire punished through a hopeless Dockers side, percentage shouldn't be actually a complication. (If they gain by a couple of targets, GWS would need to have to win through 10 goals to record them, etc) Fox Footy's prediction: Succeed and also end up second, multitude GWS in a training final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To participate in: Western Bulldogs at Mars Coliseum, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: End up second if Port Adelaide loses OR wins yet gives up 7-8 goal lead on percent, 3rd if Port Adelaide gains as well as has percent leadLose: Complete 2nd if Port Adelaide is beaten by 7-8 goals much more than they are actually, 3rd if Port Adelaide succeeds OR sheds however keeps portion lead and also Geelong sheds OR success and does not comprise 10-goal percent void, fourth if Geelong wins as well as composes 10-goal percent gapAnalysis: They're secured in to the best four, and are most likely playing in the second vs third certifying last, though Geelong undoubtedly understands just how to surge West Coast at GMHBA Coliseum. That's the only means the Giants would leave of playing Port Adelaide a substantial win by the Cats on Saturday (our company are actually speaking 10+ objectives) and after that a Giants reduction to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Pussy-cats do not win major (or even succeed whatsoever), the Giants is going to be actually playing for organizing civil rights to the 2nd Qualifying Final. They can easily either make up a 7-8 target space in percent to pass Slot Adelaide, or even merely really hope Freo beats them.Fox Footy's prediction: Drop and also end up third, away to Port Adelaide in a qualifying finalZach Tuohy clarifies selection to resign|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To participate in: West Shore Eagles at GMHBA Arena, Sunday 1:45 pmWin: Complete third if GWS sheds and also quits 10-goal amount top, fourth if GWS wins OR loses but keeps amount top (edge circumstance they can meet 2nd with gigantic gain) Lose: End Up fourth if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and Carlton shed, 5th if three drop, sixth if pair of drop, 7th if one sheds, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they actually tightened that up. From seeming like they were going to build portion and lock up a top-four area, now the Cats need to succeed only to ensure on their own the double odds, along with four staffs wishing they lose to West Shore so they can pinch fourth from them. On the plus edge, this is actually the most askew matchup in modern footy, along with the Eagles dropping 9 straight journeys to Kardinia Park through around 10+ goals. It's not unlikely to visualize the Pussy-cats winning by that frame, and in blend along with even a narrow GWS reduction, they would certainly be actually moving into an away training ultimate vs Slot Adelaide (for the 3rd attend 5 times!). Typically a win must send all of them to the SCG. If the Cats really shed, they will possibly be delivered into an eradication ultimate on our forecasts, right up to 8th! Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain as well as finish fourth, away to Sydney in a qualifying final5. BRISBANE LIONS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To participate in: Essendon at the Gabba, Sunday 7:30 pmWin: End up fourth if Geelong drops, 5th if Geelong winsLose: Complete fifth if Western side Bulldogs drop and also Hawthorn lose AND Carlton lose AND Fremantle lose OR gain yet lose big to beat huge amount void, sixth if three of those take place, 7th if pair of take place, 8th if one happens, miss out on finals if none happenAnalysis: Certainly not just did they police yet another distressing reduction to the Pies, however they received the wrong staff over them losing! If the Lions were actually entering Shot 24 expecting Port or even GWS to shed, they will still possess a true chance at the top 4, however absolutely Geelong does not lose in your home to West Coast? As long as the Pussy-cats get the job done, the Cougars should be actually bound for an elimination ultimate. Trumping the Bombers would then ensure all of them 5th spot (and also's the side of the bracket you wish, if it implies staying clear of the Bulldogs and Hawks in full week one, as well as very likely receiving Geelong in week 2). A surprise loss to Essendon would certainly find Chris Fagan's edge nervously viewing on Sunday to find how many teams pass all of them ... practically they could overlook the 8 completely, yet it is actually incredibly unlikely for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's forecast: Succeed and also end up 5th, multitude Carlton in an elimination finalSelfish Lions captured avoiding allies|01:046. WESTERN BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To participate in: GWS Giants at Mars Coliseum, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong and Brisbane drop, fifth if one sheds, 6th if both winLose: Finish sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton as well as Fremantle lose, 7th if pair of lose, 8th if one loses, miss out on finals if they all winAnalysis: Irritatingly for the Bulldogs, they can easily still skip the 8, despite possessing the AFL's second-best percent and also thirteen success (which nobody has actually ever before missed out on the eight along with). Actually it's a really actual opportunity - they still require to take care of business versus an in-form GWS to ensure their spot in September. But that is actually certainly not the only point at risk the Pets would certainly promise on their own a home ultimate with a triumph (probably at the MCG vs Hawthorn), however regardless of whether they stay in the 8 after dropping, they could be moving to Brisbane for that elimination last. At the other edge of the spectrum, there's still a small possibility they can easily slip into the leading 4, though it calls for West Coast to defeat Geelong in Geelong, as well as Essendon to beat Brisbane in Brisbane ... thereby a very small opportunity. Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and also finish 6th, 'host' Hawthorn in an eradication final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To play: North Melbourne at UTAS Stadium, Sunday 4:35 pmWin: Finish 4th if Geelong, Brisbane as well as Western Bulldogs all shed as well as Carlton sheds OR wins yet loses big to overtake all of them on amount (approx. 4 targets) 5th if 3 take place, sixth if two happen, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Fremantle sheds and also Carlton sheds while remaining overdue on percentage, 8th if one loses, miss out on finals if each winAnalysis: Our team prefer to be the Hawks than the Bulldogs at the moment, as a result of that they've received delegated experience. Sam Mitchell's men are actually a succeed far from September, as well as simply require to take care of business against an injury-hit N. Melbourne who looked terrible against stated Canines on Sunday. There's also an incredibly long shot they creep right into the top 4 additional realistically they'll make on their own an MCG removal ultimate, either against the Canines, Freo or even Carlton. (The best-case scenario is perhaps the Canines losing, so the Hawks end up sixth and also participate in cry.) If they are actually upset through North though, they're equally scared as the Dogs, expecting Carlton and Fremantle to find if they're rejected of the eight.Fox Footy's prediction: Win and also complete 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 Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs as well as Hawthorn all lose OR Hawks win yet fall behind Woes on amount (approx. 4 objectives), fifth if three occur, sixth if 2 occur, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: Complete 7th if Hawthorn drops by good enough to fall behind on percentage AND Fremantle sheds, 8th if one happens, otherwise miss out on finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home state actually helped them out this weekend break. Fremantle's loss, blended with the Blues' sway West Shore, sees all of them inside the eight and also also capable to participate in finals if they are actually outplayed by St Kilda upcoming full week. (Though they 'd be left behind praying for Slot to beat Freo.) Reasonably they're mosting likely to wish to beat the Saints to promise themselves an area in September - as well as to provide on their own a chance of an MCG eradication ultimate. If both the Canines as well as Hawks shed, the Blues could even organize that last, though our team will be actually fairly stunned if the Hawks lost. Percent is actually most likely to find into play thanks to Carlton's massive get West Coastline - they may need to have to push the Saints to prevent participating in Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain and also finish 8th, away to Brisbane in an elimination final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To participate in: Port Adelaide at Optus Arena, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: End up 6th if Western Side Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton lose, 7th if 2 drop, 8th if one loses, miss out on finals if each of all of them winLose: Will definitely miss out on finalsAnalysis: Oh terrific, another reason to despise West Coastline. Their opponents' inability to beat the Blues' B-team means the Dockers are at genuine danger of their Round 24 game coming to be a dead rubber. The equation is actually rather simple - they need to have at the very least among the Canines, Hawks or even Woes to drop just before they play Slot. If that occurs, the Dockers can easily win their way right into September. If all three gain, they'll be gotten rid of due to the time they take the industry. (Technically Freo may additionally capture Brisbane on percentage however it's remarkably not likely.) Fox Footy's prophecy: Drop and miss out on finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood may practically still participate in finals, however needs to have to make up a percentage space of 30+ goals to capture Carlton, plus Fremantle must drop.
