All times AEST.Adams to possibly overlook one more GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To participate in: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Saturday 7:40 pmWin or even Miss: Finish 1stAnalysis: There are actually no sensible scenarios where the Swans crash to gain the slight premiership. There are impractical ones, though! A 100-point reduction, while Slot Adelaide defeats Fremantle by one hundred points, would certainly do it.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and end up first, multitude Geelong in a qualifying final2. SLOT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To play: Fremantle at Optus Arena, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish 2nd if GWS sheds OR success and does not compose 7-8 target amount void, 3rd if GWS triumphes and also comprises 7-8 goal portion gapLose: Complete second if GWS loses (as well as Port aren't beaten through 7-8 goals more than the Giants), 3rd if GWS wins, fourth in incredibly improbable circumstance Geelong succeeds and also composes huge percent gapAnalysis: The Electrical power is going to have the benefit of knowing their specific scenario heading in to their final game, though there is actually an extremely real possibility they'll be practically latched in to 2nd. And also either way they're heading to be playing in the Second Qualifying Final. Their percent bait GWS is about 7-8 targets, and on Geelong it is actually closer to 20, so they are actually possibly certainly not receiving recorded by the Kitties. Therefore if the Giants succeed, the Electrical power is going to need to win to secure second place - however so long as they do not get surged by a hopeless Dockers side, percent should not be actually a problem. (If they succeed by a number of objectives, GWS will require to win by 10 objectives to catch all of them, etc) Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain and also end up second, bunch GWS in a training final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To participate in: Western Bulldogs at Mars Stadium, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Finish second if Slot Adelaide sheds OR wins yet loses hope 7-8 target lead on amount, 3rd if Slot Adelaide gains as well as holds percent leadLose: End up 2nd if Slot Adelaide is beaten through 7-8 targets more than they are actually, 3rd if Port Adelaide gains OR loses but holds percent top and also Geelong sheds OR victories and also does not compose 10-goal percent space, 4th if Geelong wins and makes up 10-goal percent gapAnalysis: They are actually locked into the top four, as well as are actually most likely playing in the second vs third certifying ultimate, though Geelong certainly recognizes just how to whip West Coastline at GMHBA Coliseum. That is actually the only technique the Giants would leave of participating in Port Adelaide a substantial win by the Felines on Sunday (our team're chatting 10+ targets) and then a Giants reduction to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Felines do not succeed big (or even win whatsoever), the Giants will certainly be actually playing for organizing legal rights to the 2nd Qualifying Final. They can easily either make up a 7-8 objective void in amount to pass Port Adelaide, or even simply hope Freo defeats them.Fox Footy's prediction: Lose and complete 3rd, away to Port Adelaide in a certifying finalZach Tuohy discusses selection to resign|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To participate in: West Coastline Eagles at GMHBA Arena, Saturday 1:45 pmWin: Complete third if GWS sheds and also loses hope 10-goal percent top, fourth if GWS wins OR loses yet holds onto percent lead (edge scenario they may meet second along with substantial gain) Lose: Finish 4th if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and also Carlton drop, fifth if 3 shed, 6th if two drop, 7th if one sheds, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they really screwed that people up. Coming from looking like they were visiting construct percentage as well as secure a top-four place, right now the Felines need to win simply to ensure on their own the double opportunity, with four teams hoping they shed to West Shoreline so they can easily squeeze 4th coming from all of them. On the bonus edge, this is the best askew matchup in modern-day footy, with the Eagles dropping 9 straight vacations to Kardinia Park by an average of 10+ goals. It is actually not unlikely to visualize the Cats winning through that scope, as well as in mix with even a narrow GWS reduction, they will be actually heading right into an away training last vs Slot Adelaide (for the third time in 5 periods!). Otherwise a win ought to deliver them to the SCG. If the Pet cats in fact lose, they will certainly likely be sent in to a removal final on our prophecies, completely down to 8th! Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and end up fourth, away to Sydney in a certifying final5. BRISBANE LIONS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To play: Essendon at the Gabba, Sunday 7:30 pmWin: End up 4th if Geelong loses, 5th if Geelong winsLose: End up 5th if Western Bulldogs shed and also Hawthorn drop and also Carlton drop as well as Fremantle lose OR gain however fail to get over huge portion void, sixth if 3 of those take place, 7th if pair of take place, 8th if one takes place, overlook finals if none happenAnalysis: Not just performed they police an additional very painful reduction to the Pies, yet they got the wrong team above them shedding! If the Lions were entering Round 24 anticipating Port or GWS to lose, they 'd still have an actual chance at the leading four, but certainly Geelong does not lose in the house to West Coastline? Just as long as the Cats get the job done, the Cougars must be bound for an elimination ultimate. Beating the Bombing planes would at that point promise them fifth place (and that is actually the side of the bracket you wish, if it indicates staying away from the Bulldogs as well as Hawks in full week one, and also likely getting Geelong in week pair of). A surprise loss to Essendon will find Chris Fagan's side nervously seeing on Sunday to view the number of staffs pass all of them ... actually they could overlook the eight entirely, yet it is incredibly unlikely for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and finish 5th, bunch Carlton in an elimination finalSelfish Lions caught shunning colleagues|01:046. WESTERN 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 both winLose: End up 6th if Hawthorn, Carlton and also Fremantle lose, 7th if two lose, 8th if one drops, miss finals if they all winAnalysis: Annoyingly for the Bulldogs, they may still miss the eight, despite having the AFL's second-best percentage and thirteen success (which no one has actually EVER missed the 8 with). As a matter of fact it is actually an extremely genuine possibility - they still need to perform against an in-form GWS to promise their spot in September. But that is actually not the only factor at risk the Pet dogs would promise on their own a home final along with a success (probably at the MCG vs Hawthorn), yet even when they remain in the 8 after dropping, they may be moving to Brisbane for that eradication last. At the other end of the range, there's still a little odds they can easily creep in to the leading four, though it demands West Shoreline to beat Geelong in Geelong, as well as Essendon to trump Brisbane in Brisbane ... hence a little opportunity. Fox Footy's prediction: Win as well as finish sixth, 'range' Hawthorn in an elimination final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To participate in: North Melbourne at UTAS Arena, Sunday 4:35 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong, Brisbane and Western Bulldogs all drop as well as Carlton sheds OR success yet fails to surpass all of them on amount (approx. 4 objectives) 5th if three happen, 6th if 2 happen, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: Complete 7th if Fremantle drops AND Carlton drops while remaining behind on portion, 8th if one loses, skip finals if both winAnalysis: We would rather be actually the Hawks than the Bulldogs at the moment, because of that they have actually received delegated deal with. Sam Mitchell's guys are actually a gain out of September, as well as only need to perform versus an injury-hit North Melbourne who looked terrible against said Dogs on Sunday. There is actually even an incredibly long shot they creep into the top 4 more reasonably they'll gain on their own an MCG eradication ultimate, either against the Canines, Freo or Carlton. (The best-case instance is actually possibly the Canines losing, so the Hawks finish 6th as well as play the Blues.) If they're outplayed through North though, they are actually equally as frightened as the Pet dogs, expecting Carlton as well as Fremantle to observe if they're tossed out of the eight.Fox Footy's prediction: Win as well as finish 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in an eradication finalMagic of Hok-ball revealed|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To play: Street Kilda at Marvel Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and Hawthorn all lose OR Hawks win however fall behind Woes on portion (approx. 4 targets), 5th if 3 take place, sixth if 2 happen, 7th if one happens, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Hawthorn drops through sufficient to fall behind on percent and also Fremantle sheds, 8th if one takes place, typically skip finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home state truly aided all of them out this weekend. Fremantle's loss, blended with the Blues' get West Shoreline, finds them inside the eight and also also capable to participate in finals if they are actually upset through St Kilda following week. (Though they will be left behind wishing Port to trump Freo.) Reasonably they're mosting likely to intend to defeat the Saints to assure on their own a spot in September - and to give on their own an odds of an MCG removal ultimate. If both the Pets as well as Hawks lose, cry could even throw that final, though we 'd be actually rather stunned if the Hawks shed. Percent is actually very likely ahead in to play because of Carlton's huge gain West Coast - they might need to have to push the Saints to steer clear of participating in Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and complete 8th, away to Brisbane in a removal final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To play: Port Adelaide at Optus Stadium, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: End up sixth if Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton drop, 7th if pair of shed, 8th if one drops, miss out on finals if each one of them winLose: Will miss finalsAnalysis: Oh great, another reason to detest West Shoreline. Their competitors' incapacity to beat the Blues' B-team indicates the Dockers go to real risk of their Sphere 24 activity coming to be a dead rubber. The formula is actually fairly easy - they need to have at the very least some of the Canines, Hawks or Woes to shed before they participate in Slot. If that takes place, the Dockers can easily win their way right into September. If all 3 gain, they'll be removed due to the opportunity they take the field. (Technically Freo can additionally capture Brisbane on percentage however it is actually remarkably not likely.) Fox Footy's prophecy: Drop as well as miss finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood can actually still play finals, but needs to make up an amount gap of 30+ objectives to record Carlton, plus Fremantle needs to shed.
