Perpetuity AEST.Adams to possibly miss out on another GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To play: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Saturday 7:40 pmWin or even Miss: Complete 1stAnalysis: There are actually no sensible cases where the Swans go belly up to gain the small premiership. There are outlandish ones, though! A 100-point reduction, while Port Adelaide defeats Fremantle through one hundred aspects, will do it.Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain and also finish first, lot Geelong in a certifying final2. SLOT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To play: Fremantle at Optus Stadium, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Complete second if GWS drops OR wins and also does not make up 7-8 objective percentage space, 3rd if GWS victories as well as composes 7-8 target portion gapLose: Complete second if GWS sheds (and Port may not be beaten by 7-8 targets much more than the Giants), 3rd if GWS succeeds, 4th in extremely unexpected scenario Geelong succeeds as well as makes up gigantic portion gapAnalysis: The Energy will certainly possess the benefit of knowing their exact circumstance heading right into their final video game, though there is actually a really true opportunity they'll be actually virtually secured into 2nd. And regardless they are actually visiting be actually playing in the Second Qualifying Final. Their amount lead on GWS is roughly 7-8 targets, and on Geelong it is actually closer to twenty, so they are actually probably not acquiring recorded by the Pet cats. Consequently if the Giants succeed, the Energy will need to succeed to lock up 2nd spot - yet so long as they do not acquire thrashed by a desperate Dockers side, percentage shouldn't be a problem. (If they succeed by a number of goals, GWS would certainly require to win by 10 goals to record them, and so on) Fox Footy's prediction: Win and also finish 2nd, multitude GWS in a certifying final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To play: Western Bulldogs at Mars Stadium, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: End up second if Slot Adelaide loses OR triumphes however loses hope 7-8 objective bait percentage, 3rd if Port Adelaide wins and keeps portion leadLose: Complete second if Port Adelaide is trumped by 7-8 targets much more than they are actually, third if Port Adelaide succeeds OR sheds yet has portion top as well as Geelong drops OR triumphes and also does not comprise 10-goal portion void, fourth if Geelong victories and also makes up 10-goal percentage gapAnalysis: They're secured into the top 4, and also are actually likely playing in the 2nd vs 3rd training ultimate, though Geelong certainly knows exactly how to surge West Shore at GMHBA Coliseum. That's the only way the Giants would certainly drop out of playing Port Adelaide a large win due to the Pussy-cats on Sunday (our experts are actually speaking 10+ objectives) and after that a Giants reduction to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Felines do not succeed significant (or win in any way), the Giants is going to be actually betting organizing rights to the 2nd Qualifying Final. They can either make up a 7-8 objective void in percent to pass Slot Adelaide, or even only really hope Freo defeats them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Shed and end up 3rd, away to Port Adelaide in a training finalZach Tuohy explains selection to retire|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To play: West Shoreline Eagles at GMHBA Stadium, Saturday 1:45 pmWin: End up third if GWS drops as well as gives up 10-goal portion lead, fourth if GWS gains OR loses yet holds onto percentage lead (fringe case they can easily achieve second with extensive win) Lose: End Up 4th if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and Carlton lose, fifth if 3 shed, 6th if 2 drop, 7th if one drops, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they actually tightened that up. Coming from seeming like they were actually heading to build amount as well as lock up a top-four location, today the Cats need to gain merely to assure themselves the dual opportunity, with 4 staffs hoping they drop to West Shore so they can pinch fourth from all of them. On the bonus side, this is one of the most unbalanced competition in modern footy, along with the Eagles shedding 9 direct journeys to Kardinia Park through an average of 10+ targets. It is actually certainly not unlikely to picture the Kitties gaining through that margin, and also in blend along with also a slim GWS loss, they would certainly be actually moving right into an away qualifying final vs Slot Adelaide (for the third attend 5 seasons!). Or else a win ought to send all of them to the SCG. If the Felines actually shed, they will definitely probably be sent right into a removal ultimate on our predictions, right down to 8th! Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and end up fourth, away to Sydney in a qualifying final5. BRISBANE COUGARS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To play: Essendon at the Gabba, Saturday 7:30 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong drops, fifth if Geelong winsLose: End up fifth if Western side Bulldogs drop AND Hawthorn lose as well as Carlton drop AND Fremantle shed OR win however go belly up to beat huge percentage void, 6th if 3 of those occur, 7th if pair of take place, 8th if one takes place, overlook finals if none happenAnalysis: Not only did they police officer an additional very painful reduction to the Pies, however they acquired the wrong crew above them shedding! If the Lions were entering into Round 24 expecting Port or even GWS to drop, they will still possess a true chance at the leading four, but definitely Geelong doesn't shed at home to West Shore? Just as long as the Felines finish the job, the Cougars must be actually bound for a removal final. Trumping the Bombers will then assure them 5th spot (and that's the side of the brace you wish, if it means preventing the Bulldogs and also Hawks in week one, and also most likely obtaining Geelong in full week two). A shock reduction to Essendon would view Chris Fagan's edge nervously viewing on Sunday to view how many teams pass all of them ... technically they might overlook the 8 totally, however it is actually incredibly unrealistic for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's prediction: Succeed and complete 5th, bunch Carlton in an eradication finalSelfish Cougars caught keeping away from teammates|01:046. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To participate in: GWS Giants at Mars Coliseum, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong and also Brisbane drop, fifth if one drops, sixth if each winLose: Complete sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton and also Fremantle shed, 7th if two drop, 8th if one loses, miss finals if they all winAnalysis: Irritatingly for the Bulldogs, they can easily still skip the eight, even with having the AFL's second-best percentage and also thirteen triumphes (which nobody has actually EVER missed the 8 along with). In reality it is actually a quite real probability - they still need to have to function versus an in-form GWS to assure their spot in September. However that is actually certainly not the only trait at risk the Pets would assure on their own a home final with a victory (very likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), but even if they remain in the 8 after shedding, they can be moving to Brisbane for that removal ultimate. At the other edge of the spectrum, there's still a very small opportunity they can slip in to the best four, though it calls for West Coastline to trump Geelong in Geelong, and also Essendon to trump Brisbane in Brisbane ... thus a tiny possibility. Fox Footy's prediction: Win as well as complete 6th, 'hold' Hawthorn in a removal final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To participate in: North Melbourne at UTAS Coliseum, Saturday 4:35 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong, Brisbane and also Western Bulldogs all lose AND Carlton loses OR triumphes but fails to surpass them on percentage (approx. 4 goals) fifth if three occur, 6th if 2 take place, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: Complete 7th if Fremantle loses AND Carlton loses while staying overdue on percent, 8th if one drops, skip finals if both winAnalysis: Our team prefer to be the Hawks than the Bulldogs right now, because of that they've received delegated to deal with. Sam Mitchell's males are a succeed far from September, and also only require to take care of business against an injury-hit N. Melbourne who appeared dreadful against claimed Dogs on Sunday. There's even an incredibly small chance they slip in to the leading 4 additional genuinely they'll gain on their own an MCG removal final, either against the Pets, Freo or Carlton. (The best-case situation is possibly the Dogs dropping, so the Hawks finish sixth and also play the Blues.) If they are actually outplayed by North though, they are actually equally frightened as the Pet dogs, waiting for Carlton as well as Fremantle to find if they're rejected of the eight.Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain and also finish 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in an eradication finalMagic of Hok-ball detailed|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To participate in: St Kilda at Wonder Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Finish 4th if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and Hawthorn all shed OR Hawks win yet fall behind Blues on percent (approx. 4 goals), fifth if three occur, sixth if two take place, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Hawthorn drops through enough to fall back on percent as well as Fremantle loses, 8th if one takes place, typically miss out on finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home condition definitely helped all of them out this weekend. Fremantle's loss, integrated with the Blues' get West Shore, observes all of them inside the eight and also also able to play finals if they are actually upset through Street Kilda upcoming week. (Though they 'd be actually left behind praying for Port to defeat Freo.) Realistically they're visiting would like to trump 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 Dogs and also Hawks drop, cry could possibly even organize that last, though our experts would certainly be rather surprised if the Hawks shed. Percentage is actually very likely to come in to play because of Carlton's substantial get West Shore - they might need to have to push the Saints to steer clear of playing Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's prediction: Win and also end up 8th, away to Brisbane in a removal final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To participate in: Slot Adelaide at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: End up sixth if Western Side Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton shed, 7th if 2 shed, 8th if one drops, miss finals if all of them winLose: Will miss out on finalsAnalysis: Oh excellent, yet another main reason to detest West Shore. Their opponents' incapacity to beat cry' B-team indicates the Dockers are at genuine risk of their Around 24 game ending up being a dead rubber. The formula is actually quite simple - they need to have at the very least some of the Dogs, Hawks or Woes to lose prior to they play Slot. If that happens, the Dockers can easily gain their method into September. If all 3 gain, they'll be dealt with due to the time they get the field. (Technically Freo can additionally catch Brisbane on portion but it's very improbable.) Fox Footy's forecast: Shed and miss out on finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood may theoretically still play finals, but needs to have to make up a portion gap of 30+ targets to record Carlton, plus Fremantle needs to lose.
