Perpetuity AEST.Adams to possibly miss one more GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To play: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Saturday 7:40 pmWin or Lose: End Up 1stAnalysis: There are actually no reasonable instances where the Swans crash to gain the minor premiership. There are unrealistic ones, though! A 100-point reduction, while Slot Adelaide defeats Fremantle through 100 points, would certainly perform it.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain as well as finish 1st, host Geelong in a training final2. PORT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To participate in: Fremantle at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish second if GWS loses OR triumphes and also doesn't make up 7-8 target amount void, 3rd if GWS success and makes up 7-8 objective portion gapLose: Complete 2nd if GWS sheds (and also Slot aren't beaten by 7-8 targets much more than the Giants), 3rd if GWS gains, 4th in extremely extremely unlikely scenario Geelong wins and comprises large percent gapAnalysis: The Energy will certainly have the benefit of understanding their exact case heading right into their ultimate game, though there is actually an extremely actual odds they'll be basically latched right into 2nd. And also in either case they are actually mosting likely to be actually playing in the 2nd Qualifying Final. Their percentage lead on GWS is actually approximately 7-8 objectives, as well as on Geelong it is actually closer to twenty, so they are actually most likely certainly not getting recorded due to the Pussy-cats. As a result if the Giants succeed, the Energy will definitely need to gain to secure second place - but as long as they do not obtain surged through a determined Dockers edge, portion shouldn't be actually a trouble. (If they gain through a couple of targets, GWS will require to gain by 10 goals to record all of them, etc) Fox Footy's forecast: Succeed and finish second, bunch GWS in a qualifying final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To play: Western Bulldogs at Mars Arena, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete second if Slot Adelaide loses OR wins but quits 7-8 objective bait percent, 3rd if Port Adelaide gains and has amount leadLose: End up second if Port Adelaide is actually trumped through 7-8 goals more than they are, 3rd if Slot Adelaide wins OR drops yet has percentage top AND Geelong drops OR success as well as doesn't make up 10-goal percent gap, fourth if Geelong victories and makes up 10-goal percentage gapAnalysis: They're locked in to the best 4, as well as are actually likely playing in the second vs third certifying last, though Geelong surely knows just how to whip West Coastline at GMHBA Coliseum. That's the only technique the Giants would drop out of participating in Port Adelaide a substantial win by the Pet cats on Sunday (we are actually speaking 10+ targets) and after that a Giants loss to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Pussy-cats do not succeed big (or succeed in all), the Giants will be betting holding liberties to the Second Qualifying Final. They can either compose a 7-8 target gap in percent to pass Port Adelaide, or only really hope Freo defeats them.Fox Footy's prediction: Drop and also finish third, away to Port Adelaide in a qualifying finalZach Tuohy clarifies choice to retire|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To participate in: West Coastline Eagles at GMHBA Arena, Saturday 1:45 pmWin: Complete third if GWS loses and also surrenders 10-goal portion top, fourth if GWS wins OR loses but keeps percentage top (edge circumstance they may meet 2nd along with large gain) Lose: Finish 4th if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and also Carlton drop, fifth if 3 shed, 6th if pair of shed, 7th if one loses, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they really turned that people up. Coming from looking like they were actually heading to develop amount as well as secure a top-four location, today the Kitties need to succeed only to guarantee on their own the double possibility, along with four teams wishing they drop to West Shore so they can squeeze 4th coming from all of them. On the bonus side, this is actually the best unbalanced match in modern-day footy, along with the Eagles dropping nine straight vacations to Kardinia Park through approximately 10+ targets. It's not unlikely to visualize the Cats winning by that scope, and also in combo along with even a slender GWS loss, they would certainly be moving right into an away qualifying last vs Slot Adelaide (for the third attend five seasons!). Or else a succeed need to deliver them to the SCG. If the Kitties really lose, they will definitely possibly be sent out right into a removal final on our prophecies, right up to 8th! Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and complete 4th, 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: Finish fourth if Geelong sheds, fifth if Geelong winsLose: End up 5th if Western Bulldogs lose and also Hawthorn lose as well as Carlton shed as well as Fremantle drop OR gain but go bust to eliminate big amount void, sixth if three of those take place, 7th if two take place, 8th if one occurs, overlook finals if none happenAnalysis: Certainly not just did they police yet another distressing loss to the Pies, yet they received the incorrect team over all of them dropping! If the Lions were actually entering into Round 24 hoping for Slot or GWS to lose, they 'd still possess a genuine chance at the best four, but certainly Geelong doesn't shed in the house to West Coastline? As long as the Felines finish the job, the Cougars ought to be bound for an eradication last. Trumping the Bombing planes would after that promise all of them 5th place (which is actually the edge of the bracket you desire, if it means preventing the Bulldogs as well as Hawks in full week one, and also likely acquiring Geelong in week two). A surprise loss to Essendon would view Chris Fagan's side nervously viewing on Sunday to view the number of staffs pass them ... technically they might miss the 8 totally, yet it is actually really unrealistic for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's forecast: Succeed as well as end up 5th, bunch Carlton in a removal finalSelfish Cougars recorded shunning colleagues|01:046. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To participate in: GWS Giants at Mars Coliseum, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: End up fourth if Geelong and also Brisbane drop, 5th if one loses, sixth if both winLose: Finish sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton and also Fremantle lose, 7th if pair of shed, 8th if one drops, miss out on finals if they all winAnalysis: Annoyingly for the Bulldogs, they can easily still overlook the eight, in spite of possessing the AFL's second-best percentage and also 13 wins (which no one has EVER overlooked the 8 with). In fact it's an extremely real option - they still need to have to function against an in-form GWS to ensure their place in September. But that is actually certainly not the only point at concern the Pet dogs will guarantee on their own a home last along with a victory (likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), yet even if they remain in the eight after dropping, they might be heading to Brisbane for that removal ultimate. At the various other end of the sphere, there's still a tiny chance they can sneak in to the leading 4, though it needs West Coastline to beat Geelong in Geelong, and Essendon to defeat Brisbane in Brisbane ... thereby a small odds. Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and complete sixth, 'range' Hawthorn in an elimination final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To participate in: North Melbourne at UTAS Coliseum, Saturday 4:35 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong, Brisbane as well as Western Bulldogs all drop and also Carlton drops OR wins however goes bust to surpass them on percent (approx. 4 goals) fifth if 3 happen, 6th if two take place, 7th if one happens, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Fremantle drops as well as Carlton loses while remaining behind on portion, 8th if one sheds, overlook finals if both winAnalysis: Our experts would rather be the Hawks than the Bulldogs at this moment, as a result of that they have actually obtained left to experience. Sam Mitchell's guys are actually a win off of September, and only need to have to take care of business against an injury-hit North Melbourne who appeared dreadful against said Pet dogs on Sunday. There is actually even a very small chance they slip right into the top 4 even more realistically they'll make on their own an MCG removal ultimate, either against the Pet dogs, Freo or even Carlton. (The best-case instance is perhaps the Canines shedding, so the Hawks end up 6th as well as participate in cry.) If they are actually outplayed through North though, they're equally terrified as the Dogs, expecting Carlton as well as Fremantle to see if they are actually kicked out of the eight.Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and finish 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in an eradication finalMagic of Hok-ball described|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To participate in: Street Kilda at Marvel Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs as well as Hawthorn all shed OR Hawks gain yet fall back Woes on percent (approx. 4 objectives), 5th if three happen, sixth if 2 occur, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Hawthorn loses through sufficient to fall behind on percent AND Fremantle sheds, 8th if one occurs, otherwise overlook finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home condition truly assisted them out this weekend break. Fremantle's reduction, combined along with the Blues' draw West Coastline, finds all of them inside the eight and also capable to play finals if they are actually outplayed through St Kilda following week. (Though they 'd be left wishing Slot to beat Freo.) Truthfully they're visiting intend to trump the Saints to promise on their own a spot in September - as well as to provide themselves an opportunity of an MCG eradication last. If both the Pet dogs and also Hawks shed, cry can also hold that final, though our experts will be quite stunned if the Hawks lost. Percent is most likely to follow into play with the help of Carlton's significant get West Shoreline - they may need to pump the Saints to stay away from playing Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain as well as end up 8th, away to Brisbane in an elimination final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To participate in: Port Adelaide at Optus Stadium, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish sixth if Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and Carlton shed, 7th if 2 shed, 8th if one sheds, miss finals if every one of all of them winLose: Will miss finalsAnalysis: Oh fantastic, an additional reason to loathe West Shore. Their competitors' lack of ability to defeat the Blues' B-team implies the Dockers are at actual threat of their Around 24 video game becoming a dead rubber. The equation is fairly simple - they require at least among the Pets, Hawks or Blues to lose before they participate in Port. If that takes place, the Dockers can succeed their means in to September. If all 3 gain, they'll be eliminated due to the time they get the field. (Technically Freo may also capture Brisbane on portion yet it's remarkably improbable.) Fox Footy's prediction: Lose and also miss out on finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood can practically still participate in finals, but needs to compose a percentage space of 30+ targets to record Carlton, plus Fremantle has to shed.
