All times AEST.Adams to potentially overlook an additional GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To participate in: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Sunday 7:40 pmWin or Lose: Finish 1stAnalysis: There are no reasonable situations where the Swans lose big to gain the small premiership. There are unrealistic ones, though! A 100-point reduction, while Port Adelaide trumps Fremantle by one hundred aspects, would perform it.Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain and complete first, lot Geelong in a certifying final2. PORT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To participate in: Fremantle at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: End up second if GWS loses OR triumphes and doesn't make up 7-8 objective portion gap, 3rd if GWS success and also comprises 7-8 target portion gapLose: Complete second if GWS loses (and Port aren't beaten by 7-8 targets much more than the Giants), third if GWS succeeds, 4th in incredibly extremely unlikely instance Geelong succeeds as well as comprises enormous amount gapAnalysis: The Energy will definitely possess the benefit of recognizing their particular situation moving into their ultimate activity, though there is actually a quite real possibility they'll be more or less locked right into second. And regardless they are actually mosting likely to be playing in the Second Qualifying Final. Their percentage bait GWS is about 7-8 targets, and also on Geelong it's closer to 20, so they are actually perhaps not acquiring caught due to the Kitties. For that reason if the Giants gain, the Electrical power will certainly require to gain to secure 2nd area - however as long as they do not receive surged by a hopeless Dockers edge, percent shouldn't be a trouble. (If they win by a number of targets, GWS would certainly need to win by 10 objectives to catch all of them, etc) Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and end up second, multitude GWS in a training final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To play: Western Bulldogs at Mars Arena, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete second if Port Adelaide drops OR wins however loses hope 7-8 goal bait amount, 3rd if Slot Adelaide wins and has percent leadLose: End up 2nd if Slot Adelaide is actually beaten by 7-8 objectives more than they are, 3rd if Port Adelaide gains OR drops however has percentage lead and also Geelong drops OR success and does not compose 10-goal amount space, fourth if Geelong triumphes and makes up 10-goal amount gapAnalysis: They are actually latched right into the top 4, as well as are probably having fun in the 2nd vs 3rd certifying ultimate, though Geelong definitely understands exactly how to whip West Coastline at GMHBA Coliseum. That's the only way the Giants would drop out of playing Port Adelaide a gigantic win due to the Cats on Saturday (we are actually chatting 10+ goals) and then a Giants loss to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Cats don't gain huge (or even gain in any way), the Giants will definitely be actually betting organizing rights to the Second Qualifying Final. They can easily either compose a 7-8 objective gap in portion to pass Slot Adelaide, or merely hope Freo trumps them.Fox Footy's forecast: Drop and finish third, away to Slot Adelaide in a certifying finalZach Tuohy discusses choice to resign|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To play: West Coastline Eagles at GMHBA Coliseum, Sunday 1:45 pmWin: Finish 3rd if GWS sheds as well as quits 10-goal percentage lead, fourth if GWS gains OR loses but keeps portion lead (fringe situation they may reach second with large win) Lose: Complete fourth if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and also Carlton shed, fifth if three drop, 6th if pair of drop, 7th if one sheds, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they actually tightened that up. Coming from resembling they were visiting develop portion and lock up a top-four location, now the Pussy-cats need to have to gain only to assure on their own the double possibility, along with 4 crews hoping they lose to West Coastline so they can squeeze fourth from them. On the in addition side, this is actually one of the most unbalanced matchup in present day footy, with the Eagles dropping 9 direct excursions to Kardinia Playground through an average of 10+ objectives. It is actually not unlikely to picture the Pussy-cats winning through that scope, and also in combo with even a slim GWS loss, they would certainly be moving in to an away certifying ultimate vs Port Adelaide (for the third attend five periods!). Otherwise a win ought to deliver all of them to the SCG. If the Pussy-cats really drop, they will definitely almost certainly be sent right into an eradication last on our prophecies, right to 8th! Fox Footy's forecast: Gain as well as complete 4th, away to Sydney in a training final5. BRISBANE LIONS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To participate in: Essendon at the Gabba, Saturday 7:30 pmWin: End up 4th if Geelong loses, 5th if Geelong winsLose: Finish fifth if Western side Bulldogs shed and also Hawthorn lose as well as Carlton shed as well as Fremantle shed OR win however lose big to conquer big percent void, sixth if 3 of those take place, 7th if 2 happen, 8th if one happens, miss out on finals if none happenAnalysis: Certainly not simply did they police an additional unpleasant loss to the Pies, however they got the incorrect staff over all of them losing! If the Lions were entering into Round 24 expecting Port or GWS to lose, they would certainly still have a genuine shot at the top four, however absolutely Geelong does not shed in the home to West Shore? Just as long as the Pet cats do the job, the Cougars ought to be actually tied for an eradication last. Trumping the Bombing planes would certainly after that assure them fifth spot (which is actually the edge of the brace you yearn for, if it indicates avoiding the Bulldogs and also Hawks in week one, and most likely acquiring Geelong in week two). A surprise reduction to Essendon would observe Chris Fagan's side nervously viewing on Sunday to observe the number of staffs pass all of them ... technically they can miss out on the eight totally, however it is very unrealistic for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's forecast: Win and end up 5th, lot Carlton in a removal finalSelfish Cougars captured steering clear of allies|01:046. WESTERN BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To play: GWS Giants at Mars Coliseum, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Finish fourth if Geelong and also Brisbane shed, 5th if one drops, 6th if each winLose: Finish sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton and Fremantle shed, 7th if two lose, 8th if one drops, skip finals if they all winAnalysis: Aggravatingly for the Bulldogs, they can easily still overlook the eight, despite having the AFL's second-best percent as well as 13 victories (which no person has actually ever before overlooked the eight with). Actually it's a very actual possibility - they still need to have to perform against an in-form GWS to ensure their area in September. Yet that's certainly not the only trait at stake the Dogs would ensure themselves a home ultimate along with a success (probably at the MCG vs Hawthorn), however even when they keep in the 8 after dropping, they can be moving to Brisbane for that removal final. At the other edge of the sphere, there is actually still a little chance they can slip right into the leading 4, though it needs West Coast to defeat Geelong in Geelong, and Essendon to beat Brisbane in Brisbane ... thereby a small chance. Fox Footy's prophecy: Win as well as end up sixth, 'host' Hawthorn in a removal final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To participate in: North Melbourne at UTAS Coliseum, Sunday 4:35 pmWin: End up 4th if Geelong, Brisbane as well as Western Bulldogs all shed as well as Carlton drops OR wins yet goes belly up to overtake all of them on amount (approx. 4 objectives) 5th if three take place, sixth if two happen, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Fremantle sheds AND Carlton loses while remaining behind on portion, 8th if one sheds, overlook finals if both winAnalysis: We would rather be the Hawks than the Bulldogs at the moment, due to who they have actually acquired delegated deal with. Sam Mitchell's males are a succeed off of September, and also only need to take care of business versus an injury-hit N. Melbourne who appeared terrible against said Pets on Sunday. There is actually even an incredibly small chance they sneak right into the best four additional realistically they'll make on their own an MCG removal ultimate, either versus the Dogs, Freo or even Carlton. (The best-case circumstance is probably the Pet dogs losing, so the Hawks finish 6th as well as play cry.) If they're upset through North though, they're equally scared as the Dogs, waiting for Carlton as well as Fremantle to view if they're kicked out of the eight.Fox Footy's prediction: Win and end up 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in a removal finalMagic of Hok-ball explained|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To play: St Kilda at Marvel Arena, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs as well as Hawthorn all shed OR Hawks gain but fall behind Woes on portion (approx. 4 goals), fifth if three occur, sixth if pair of take place, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Hawthorn loses by enough to fall back on percentage AND Fremantle drops, 8th if one takes place, otherwise miss finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home state definitely helped them out this weekend break. Fremantle's loss, combined with the Blues' get West Coast, observes all of them inside the eight as well as also able to participate in finals if they're outplayed through St Kilda next full week. (Though they 'd be actually left behind wishing Slot to beat Freo.) Reasonably they are actually heading to desire to beat the Saints to ensure on their own a spot in September - and to provide on their own a chance of an MCG elimination last. If both the Pets and Hawks lose, cry can even organize that ultimate, though we will be rather shocked if the Hawks lost. Amount is actually most likely to come right into play with the help of Carlton's huge get West Shore - they might need to have to pump the Saints to prevent participating in Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and complete 8th, away to Brisbane in an eradication final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To participate in: Slot Adelaide at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Complete sixth if Western Side Bulldogs, Hawthorn and Carlton lose, 7th if two shed, 8th if one sheds, miss out on finals if all of all of them winLose: Will definitely overlook finalsAnalysis: Oh fantastic, yet another factor to dislike West Coast. Their opponents' incapability to beat the Blues' B-team implies the Dockers are at actual danger of their Around 24 game ending up being a lifeless rubber. The formula is pretty straightforward - they need to have at least some of the Dogs, Hawks or Woes to lose just before they participate in Slot. If that happens, the Dockers can easily succeed their method into September. If all 3 succeed, they'll be removed due to the time they get the field. (Technically Freo can easily also capture Brisbane on portion but it is actually exceptionally unlikely.) Fox Footy's prediction: Lose as well as miss finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood can technically still participate in finals, however needs to comprise a percentage gap of 30+ objectives to catch Carlton, plus Fremantle must shed.
