BRISBANE COUGARS (13-6-1, 125.1%) Recently: Rated 1st, def St Kilda by 85 ptsThis week: GWS Giants at the Gabba, Saturday 1:45 pm2. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (12-8, 122.4%) Last week: Rated second, def Melbourne by 51 ptsThis week: Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pmWith the Swans falling off a high cliff, if our experts needed to predict a Grand Final today, this would be it. It may not even be actually achievable - if the Bulldogs can not break the leading 4, they could be on an unavoidable clash in a prelim. However in a pair of activities that we presumed were actually possible banana peelings, both they and Brisbane were actually dominant. The Pets' support is stunning today despite all their staffs concerns, No. 2 for factors enabled and No. 1 for factors made it possible for coming from turnovers over the last six full weeks, while the Lions have raised during that department over that time period also (as well as they badly needed to). Provided exactly how well Brisbane are actually going you in fact need to think about, will they be actually the utterly dominant flag favourite at the moment if they hadn't copped plenty of ACL personal injuries? To become in this particular posture offered those blows is extremely outstanding, as well as the Bulldogs are actually as near to a significant banner opponent as they've been for a long times. What our team've found out over the last few periods is that the AFL's attempts to deliver very competitive balance mean crews may actually get going mid-season as well as surge right into the premiership nationality - our company have to cease eliminating talented lists when they begin slowly.Kingy unleashes on 'startling' Swans|03:523. SYDNEY SWANS (14-6, 126.1%) Last week: Ranked third, dropped to Slot Adelaide through 112 ptsNo concern where you appear, Saturday night was actually embarrassingly bad. There are actually only a few comparables to THIS kind of reduction for a possible premier, but none were this poor. As a matter of fact no V/AFL premier has shed a game by greater than 100 points that time, and the largest reduction through a resulting premier in the AFL time was Port Adelaide getting pushed by 92 aspects versus the Kangaroos in Round 8, 2004. The greater issue is that this isn't nearly the final two full weeks over the last 6 they are actually 17th for objected to possessions, 18th for groundball gets, 18th for authorizations, 17th for aspects from turnover differential as well as 15th for stress ranking. A blowout reduction will blow those stats out as well yet they have nothing at all like a premier's profile because the start of July. So why perform our team still possess them 3rd? Well you do not rest a million video games clear in addition to the ladder for no explanation perhaps the remainder of the AFL has actually located them out however our team still possess some assurance the Swans can easily locate something near their greatest. And also they should still finish top 2, which specifies them up in addition to possible.This week: Collingwood at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmLongmire hits back at "self-seeking" reviews|01:004. PORT ADELAIDE (13-7, 113.6%) Last week: Positioned 9th, def Sydney through 112 ptsUnfortunately for the Energy, when you win a video game by THAT a lot, the account is regularly concerning the shedding staff and exactly how the hell they were actually that negative. Therefore permit's provide Slot some deserved approval, given that they are actually absolutely seeming like a top-four crew today, and also could be serious! Over the last six weeks they are actually No. 2 in the AFL for factors scored, No. 1 for points versus, No. 3 for disputed properties and No. 3 for open spaces - yes the enormity of the Sydney win tosses those statistics out a little, but they have actually clearly found some genuine kind. And if they have actually shut the space between where they were, because 5th to 8th brace, down end of the best four they're truly in the prelim ultimate ethnicity. Which will be actually a pretty good outcome provided the standard character of disappointment this time has or else held.This full week: Melbourne at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm5. FREMANTLE (12-7-1, 116.7%) Last week: Positioned 4th, shed to Essendon by 1 ptIt must be actually receiving aggravating for Dockers supporters - their group has dropped 4 games they led at three-quarter-time this year, pair of greater than any individual else. And it would certainly possess been actually a useful draw the Bombers as well, offered the Swans' loss previously on the weekend break. Even with all of them needing to deal with three staffs sitting above all of them on the ladder over the ultimate three weeks we're not as well interested they truly ought to succeed their 2 remaining home games, which will suffice to play finals, as well as even on thirteen and also a fifty percent succeeds their excellent percent will really do some great holding off Essendon. This isn't the Freo of the past - they're No. 1 for points racked up over the final six full weeks, and it's the very first time due to the fact that 2013 they have actually been No. 1 in the compensation over any six-week period.This full week: Geelong at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 4:35 pmEmmett handed ban for harmful tackle|00:226. GWS GIANTS (13-7, 111.2%) Recently: Placed 8th, def Hawthorn through 2 ptsThey appeared nowhere near it through three quarters against the Hawks, however after that reminded every person of the market value of celebrities. Toby Greene is actually very great, it ends up. Possible Coleman champion Jesse Hogan has actually been awesome for 18 months. And also also Brent Daniels, some of their even more underrated superstars throughout their current success, was actually a large factor in the comeback along with an immense 12 last-quarter fingertips. Given the Lions' protective absentees is there some odds Hogan as well as the crew obtain the Brisbane back six and also pull a serious trouble on Saturday? They're gon na need to win one more activity to participate in finals footy (and also it may even be tight on 14 triumphes) so they might too receive it done ASAP.This full week: Brisbane Lions at the Gabba, Sunday 1:45 pmKingsley stirs up healthy and balanced GWS settings|02:167. CARLTON (12-8, 112.1%) Recently: Rated 5th, shed to Collingwood by 3 ptsWe're visiting keep believing in the Blues until they force our palm, given that there is actually still a lot going their method. Yes they've lost 4 of their final 5 activities, however 3 of those were actually just by a couple of targets, and last Saturday night was literally chosen by a zing. Perhaps even more significantly they are still the No. 1 staff in the AFL for factors coming from turn over differential - one of the most vital scoring resource. An immense 19 of the last twenty groups to place No. 1 during that stat have actually created an initial last or a lot better. They are actually unfair, considering that they are actually 16th for points from allowances over the final 6 full weeks, however you 'd rather be turnover-focused (as they are this year) than stoppage-focused (as they were in 2013). It would certainly be close to a catastrophe if this crew missed out on the 8, offered the desires and also where they were only a month back, but if they lose to the Hawks the opportunity is actually live.This week: Hawthorn at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm8. GEELONG (13-7, 108.9%) Last week: Placed 6th, def Adelaide by 5 ptsFunny exactly how the Cats are actually each fairly well-placed in a tight finals ethnicity and providing us a lot less assurance in their top quality at the same time. The frame perhaps shouldn't have actually been actually very that strict against Adelaide, but it was actually, as well as our team probably need to quit speaking about Kardinia Playground as a citadel - given they're 5-3 in the house, 2 of those victories obtaining solitary digit margins. However again, they are actually well-placed on thirteen victories and along with West Coastline in the house to follow in the last round. Pinch a sway the Dockers or even Street Kilda prior to that, and also they're effectively and really risk-free in the eight. There are still some explanations for self-confidence, like Patrick Dangerfield finding type and the midfield carrying out well overall against the Crows, plus the defence has risen well over the final 6 full weeks (No. 5 for factors acknowledged). However despite the fact that the top 4 is actually accessible, they do not believe that a best 4 team.This full week: Fremantle at Optus Coliseum, Saturday 4:35 pmRobbo exposes Tomahawks' highest qualities|03:489. HAWTHORN (11-9, 104.1%) Last week: Rated 7th, shed to GWS through 2 ptsSunday's video game is the most crucial for any kind of one staff our company have actually observed so far in 2024. That is actually given that Hawthorn's result against Carlton will successfully decide their time. They've obtained a wide-open course to 14 wins with a triumph, as well as no group has actually even missed the leading 8 with 13 success before. But lose and they are actually most likely visiting be actually 2 activities away from the 8 along with 2 to participate in, an almost unrecoverable posture. They are actually still carrying out a whole lot right yet the trouble we knew about coming into the time, their protection, is striking at a bad time - over the final six full weeks they're No. 1 for interior 50s versus, however 17th for scores every inside fifty against. Therefore groups may not be getting it down there a lot, however when they carry out, they're racking up at will. There's a little misfortune because however it is actually certainly not all luck. As our experts have actually created in the past, regardless of whether the Hawks overlook the finals this season has actually been extraordinary, but jeez it would certainly be actually frustrating when they're thus near one of the most effective accounts in years.This full week: Carlton at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm10. ESSENDON (11-8-1, 95.9%) Recently: Ranked 12th, def Fremantle through 1 ptTurns out our experts overlooked exactly how crucial Darcy Parish is to this crew. After a peaceful very first game back he was actually tremendous against a star-studded Freo midfield. With him this time, the Bombers are actually +20 for clearances and +18 from facility open spaces without him they're -17 and also +4 respectively. That win over Freo can get all of them in to the finals but there's also a genuine chance an individual misses with 14 wins, specifically if the Hawks beat Carlton this weekend, as well as for the Bombers their draw and their bad portion have the same effect of producing them shed sudden deaths. It would be pretty harsh if they succeeded thirteen as well as a fifty percent video games as well as lost out but at the same time, this is what takes place when you drop to non-finalists Melbourne, Adelaide and also Street Kilda - you participate in them.This full week: Gold Shoreline Suns at Wonder Arena, Saturday 7:30 pm' He's securing all of them from the tension'|03:0311. COLLINGWOOD (10-8-2, 100.2%) Recently: Placed 13th, def Carlton through 2 ptsSo the inquiry is, are they back? They need to become near their ideal to make the eight from here - Melbourne won't be betting everything in Cycle 24 so you 'd assume the Magpies win that one, but facing the top 2 over the next 2 full weeks is actually pretty hard. Maybe they've timed this clash with Sydney well, however our experts are actually certainly not certain Collingwood suffices to beat the ladder leaders, even in this damaged condition. It costs keeping in mind the Magpies are actually only 16th for inside 50s over the final six full weeks, but third for scores every inside 50, therefore efficiency is actually keeping them going. Their support has been no place near satisfactory over that time frame so they're going to need to have to take their possibilities to cease the Swans, and also if they carry out, at that point the other challengers will definitely begin to panic. No person would like to experience a revitalized Magpies in September.This week: Sydney Swans at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmMagpies find finals locate against swans|00:3012. MELBOURNE (10-10, 97.9%) Recently: Positioned 10th, dropped to Western Bulldogs by 51 ptsFor the first time this many years the Demons will definitely head into the AFL time's lifeless region, playing out the chain with absolutely nothing vulnerable. In such a way, being effectively away from the finals race must be actually releasing - they can easily bet 2025, trialling players in brand-new positions and sending out aching players in for early surgical operations. It goes without saying examine Geelong and Fremantle, that switched very unsatisfying 2023 periods in to probably 2024 finals berths you can't count out the potential of crews that have actually had effectiveness to just bounce back a year later. Hell, Collingwood is actually the most effective instance. Each of this is actually why our experts're certainly not overreacting concerning Melbourne's circumstance not up until midway with next year, anyway.This full week: Slot Adelaide at the MCG, Sunday 7:30 pm13. GOLD COAST SUNSHINES (9-11, 100.4%) Recently: Ranked 11th, dropped to West Shore by 10 ptsTheir home-away split is absolutely spectacular. Home ground perk is actually meant to become worth a target or two - certainly not turn you coming from absolute rubbish in to a top-four contender! We understand our experts have actually been actually discussing this all year but the story has been the same all year ... much like the story of 'kinda remaining in the mix with 5-6 cycles left and then collapsing' has been the same for this whole club for period after time. Receive a brand-new gimmick!This week: Essendon at Marvel Coliseum, Saturday 7:30 pmBuckley guidelines themself out of Eagles project|01:1814. ADELAIDE CROWS (7-12-1, 99.8%) Last week: Positioned 15th, shed to Geelong through 5 ptsThis full week: Western Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pm15. ST KILDA (8-12, 94.9%) Recently: Positioned 14th, dropped to Brisbane by 85 ptsThis week: Richmond at Marvel Arena, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, as our experts stated last week, these staffs never have the same lead to the exact same weekend break! Thus after Adelaide's loss on Sunday it is actually opportunity to inspect ball games for the Saints' activity and-ah. Straight. Never mind. Of what it deserves the Crows most likely weren't just as good as the scoreboard recommended, getting bashed in the competition through a less-than-impressive Geelong midfield, so they were each wanting. Allow's see if either group may play spoiler over the final three weeks - the Saints might ruin Carlton or even Geelong's time, while the Crows can harm the Pet dogs however even more notably would enjoy to spoil Slot's.

WEST SHORELINE BALD EAGLES (4-16, 70%) Last week: Placed 18th, def Gold Coastline by 10 ptsThis full week: North Melbourne at Blundstone Field, Sunday 1:45 pm17. NORTH MELBOURNE (3-17, 67%) Last week: Ranked 17th, def Richmond through 16 ptsThis full week: West Shore Eagles at Blundstone Field, Saturday 1:45 pm18. RICHMOND (2-18, 64.7%) Recently: Ranked 16th, dropped to North Melbourne through 16 ptsThis week: Street Kilda at Marvel Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, the two-week Spoonbowl is actually probably over, with Richmond actually deserving the win over North - they gained the video game on expected score, off the back of 60 inside 50s to 44 - yet kicking on their own in to the No. 1 choice. (Which is actually most likely for the greatest lasting.) Though to be fair, it is actually possible the Kangaroos have in fact grasped goalkicking, offered they are actually No. 1 in the AFL for accuracy this year. West Shoreline in the meantime was actually correctly exceptional against a group having fun for it time, with a season-high pressure ranking and also their third-best disputed belongings win for the year. Considering that Jarrad Schofield consumed the Eagles have gone coming from 17th in the AFL for pressure to 8th, which is actually a pretty good indication they're playing for him. Right now all eyes look to North's attempt to complete outside all-time low 2 for the very first time this decade - while it will still go down to portion, they 'd remain in a good setting along with a succeed in Hobart.
