BRISBANE COUGARS (13-6-1, 125.1%) Recently: Ranked 1st, def Street Kilda through 85 ptsThis full week: GWS Giants at the Gabba, Sunday 1:45 pm2. WESTERN BULLDOGS (12-8, 122.4%) Recently: Placed second, def Melbourne by 51 ptsThis week: Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pmWith the Swans falling off a cliff, if our experts had to anticipate a Grand Final today, this would be it. It might not even be feasible - if the Bulldogs can't crack the best 4, they might be on an unavoidable clash in a prelim. Yet in a pair of activities that our team assumed were actually potential fruit peelings, both they and also Brisbane were prevalent. The Pet dogs' protection is actually magnificent immediately even with all their employees concerns, No. 2 for points enabled as well as No. 1 for factors allowed coming from turnovers over the last six weeks, while the Lions have actually raised during that team over that period also (as well as they extremely needed to have to). Offered exactly how well Brisbane are going you in fact need to ponder, would certainly they be the absolutely prevalent banner favorite at the moment if they had not copped so many ACL personal injuries? To be in this particular setting offered those impacts is really impressive, and also the Bulldogs are actually as near a severe flag competitor as they've been actually for a long times. What our company have actually discovered over the final few periods is that the AFL's initiatives to take very competitive balance imply staffs may really get going mid-season and also rise into the premiership ethnicity - our experts need to stop ruling out accomplished checklists when they start slowly.Kingy releases on 'worrying' Swans|03:523. SYDNEY SWANS (14-6, 126.1%) Recently: Rated 3rd, shed to Slot Adelaide by 112 ptsNo issue where you look, Saturday evening was embarrassingly inadequate. There are actually just a couple of comparables to THIS kind of loss for an ultimate premier, yet none were this poor. In fact no V/AFL premier has lost an activity by much more than 100 factors that season, as well as the largest reduction through an eventual premier in the AFL time was actually Slot Adelaide receiving pumped by 92 factors versus the Kangaroos in Sphere 8, 2004. The greater concern is actually that this isn't almost the final 2 full weeks over the last 6 they're 17th for opposed things, 18th for groundball gets, 18th for clearances, 17th for factors coming from turn over differential and 15th for stress rating. A blowout loss is going to blow those stats out too however they have absolutely nothing like a premier's profile considering that the begin of July. Therefore why perform we still possess them 3rd? Well you do not sit a million activities crystal clear on top of the step ladder for no factor possibly the remainder of the AFL has actually located them out yet our team still possess some peace of mind the Swans can locate one thing near to their greatest. As well as they need to still complete leading 2, which specifies all of them up in addition to possible.This week: Collingwood at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmLongmire hits back at "egoistic" remarks|01:004. SLOT ADELAIDE (13-7, 113.6%) Last week: Rated 9th, def Sydney by 112 ptsUnfortunately for the Electrical power, when you win a video game by THAT a lot, the tale is actually constantly concerning the shedding staff and just how the heck they were that bad. Thus allow's provide Port some deserved appreciation, since they are actually really looking like a top-four team right now, and also might be major! Over the final 6 full weeks they're No. 2 in the AFL for factors racked up, No. 1 for aspects versus, No. 3 for disputed things and also No. 3 for clearances - yes the immensity of the Sydney succeed tosses those stats out a bit, however they've accurately found some actual form. And if they've closed the void in between where they were, in that 5th to 8th bracket, to the bottom end of the leading 4 they are actually genuinely in the prelim ultimate race. Which would certainly be a good outcome provided the overall character of stress this season has otherwise held.This full week: Melbourne at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm5. FREMANTLE (12-7-1, 116.7%) Last week: Ranked 4th, lost to Essendon through 1 ptIt should be receiving annoying for Dockers enthusiasts - their crew has actually shed four video games they led at three-quarter-time this year, 2 much more than anyone else. As well as it would've been actually a handy draw the Bombers also, given the Swans' loss earlier on the weekend break. Despite them having to deal with 3 crews resting above them on the ladder over the final three weeks our company're certainly not also concerned they really should win their two remaining home games, which would be enough to participate in finals, as well as even on thirteen and an one-half gains their superb percent would in fact carry out some great holding off Essendon. This isn't the Freo of the past - they are actually No. 1 for points scored over the last 6 full weeks, as well as it is actually the first time considering that 2013 they have actually been actually No. 1 in the over any kind of six-week period.This full week: Geelong at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 4:35 pmEmmett handed restriction for risky take on|00:226. GWS GIANTS (13-7, 111.2%) Recently: Positioned 8th, def Hawthorn through 2 ptsThey looked nowhere near it by means of three fourths against the Hawks, yet after that helped remind everyone of the worth of superstars. Toby Greene is actually rather really good, it turns out. Potential Coleman champion Jesse Hogan has actually been superb for 18 months. And also also Brent Daniels, some of their even more underrated superstars in the course of their recent results, was actually a massive consider the comeback with a massive 12 last-quarter fingertips. Offered the Lions' defensive absentees is there some opportunity Hogan and the workers acquire the Brisbane back 6 and pull a major distress on Saturday? They are actually gon na need to gain another video game to participate in finals footy (and also it might also be actually limited on 14 victories) so they may as well obtain it carried out ASAP.This week: Brisbane Lions at the Gabba, Saturday 1:45 pmKingsley sparks wholesome GWS scenes|02:167. CARLTON (12-8, 112.1%) Recently: Rated 5th, shed to Collingwood by 3 ptsWe're heading to maintain relying on the Blues up until they push our palm, because there is actually still so much going their means. Yes they have actually dropped 4 of their last five video games, however 3 of those were actually simply by a couple of objectives, and also last Sunday night was actually actually chosen through a kick. Probably much more essentially they are still the No. 1 group in the AFL for aspects from turnover differential - the best crucial racking up resource. A tremendous 19 of the last twenty staffs to rate No. 1 during that stat have actually created a preliminary last or better. They are actually prejudiced, given that they're 16th for factors from open spaces over the final 6 weeks, yet you prefer to be actually turnover-focused (as they are this year) than stoppage-focused (as they were actually last year). It would be close to a catastrophe if this group skipped the eight, given the expectations and also where they were actually just a month earlier, 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%) Recently: Rated 6th, def Adelaide through 5 ptsFunny just how the Kitties are actually each pretty well-placed in a strict finals nationality and also providing our team much less peace of mind in their top quality concurrently. The scope most likely should not have been rather that strict versus Adelaide, but it was actually, and also our experts probably need to quit talking about Kardinia Playground as a barrier - given they are actually 5-3 at home, 2 of those success obtaining single digit margins. Yet again, they are actually well-placed on 13 wins and with West Shore in the home to find in the final around. Squeeze a gain the Dockers or even St Kilda before that, and they're well as well as truly secure in the eight. There are still some causes for self-confidence, like Patrick Dangerfield finding form as well as the midfield executing quite possibly total versus the Crows, plus the protection has stood up well over the final six full weeks (No. 5 for points conceded). However even though the best four is within reach, they don't feel like a top 4 team.This full week: Fremantle at Optus Arena, Sunday 4:35 pmRobbo shows Tomahawks' best qualities|03:489. HAWTHORN (11-9, 104.1%) Recently: Positioned 7th, lost to GWS through 2 ptsSunday's game is one of the most essential for any kind of one staff our experts have actually observed until now in 2024. That's given that Hawthorn's result against Carlton are going to effectively decide their season. They've got an agape road to 14 wins with a triumph, and no team has actually even overlooked the top eight along with thirteen triumphes just before. Yet drop and also they are actually most likely heading to be pair of video games out of the eight along with pair of to participate in, a virtually impossible setting. They are actually still performing a lot right yet the concern we understood regarding coming into the period, their support, stands out at a bad time - over the final six weeks they're No. 1 for inside fifties against, but 17th for ratings every inside fifty versus. Thus groups aren't ascertaining there certainly a lot, however when they carry out, they are actually racking up at can. There's a bit of tragedy because however it's not all good fortune. As we have actually written previously, even if the Hawks skip the finals this period has been unbelievable, yet jeez it would certainly be annoying when they are actually therefore close to among the most effective stories in years.This week: Carlton at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm10. ESSENDON (11-8-1, 95.9%) Recently: Placed 12th, def Fremantle through 1 ptTurns out our experts failed to remember just how vital Darcy Parish is to this group. After a silent first activity back he was immense against a star-studded Freo midfield. Along with him this time, the Bombing planes are actually +20 for spaces and also +18 from center clearances without him they are actually -17 as well as +4 respectively. That win over Freo could receive them in to the finals but there's additionally an authentic odds somebody misses out on along with 14 triumphes, specifically if the Hawks trumped Carlton this weekend break, and for the Bombers their draw as well as their inadequate amount have the same impact of producing all of them drop sudden deaths. It will be pretty brutal if they won thirteen and also a half games and missed out but all at once, this is what takes place when you shed to non-finalists Melbourne, Adelaide and St Kilda - you participate in them.This week: Gold Coastline Suns at Marvel Arena, Sunday 7:30 pm' He is actually sheltering them coming from the stress'|03:0311. COLLINGWOOD (10-8-2, 100.2%) Last week: Rated 13th, def Carlton through 2 ptsSo the question is, are they back? They need to have to be near their finest to make the eight away - Melbourne will not be playing for anything in Cycle 24 so you would certainly believe the Magpies gain that people, however encountering the top pair of over the upcoming two full weeks is quite tough. Possibly they have actually timed this clash with Sydney properly, however we're certainly not confident Collingwood suffices to defeat the ladder forerunners, also in this weakened state. It deserves taking note the Magpies are only 16th for inside 50s over the last six full weeks, yet third for scores every inside 50, thus productivity is actually maintaining all of them going. Their support has been no place near sufficient over that time period so they're mosting likely to need to take their possibilities to stop the Swans, and if they perform, then the other competitors will definitely begin to worry. No one wants to experience a revived Magpies in September.This full week: Sydney Swans at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmMagpies find finals locate versus swans|00:3012. MELBOURNE (10-10, 97.9%) Last week: Rated 10th, dropped to Western Bulldogs through 51 ptsFor the very first time this decade the Demons are going to move right into the AFL time's lifeless region, participating in out the chain with absolutely nothing vulnerable. In a way, being successfully away from the finals race ought to be actually clearing - they can bet 2025, trialling players in brand-new postures as well as delivering sore players in for very early surgical procedures. After all take a look at Geelong as well as Fremantle, that transformed incredibly frustrating 2023 seasons right into probably 2024 finals berths you can't pass over the capacity of teams who've possessed success to simply get better a year eventually. Hell, Collingwood is actually the best example. Every one of this is why our team're certainly not running scared regarding Melbourne's scenario not until midway through next year, anyway.This week: Slot Adelaide at the MCG, Sunday 7:30 pm13. GOLD SHORES SUNSHINES (9-11, 100.4%) Last week: Ranked 11th, dropped to West Shoreline by 10 ptsTheir home-away split is actually absolutely astonishing. Home ground perk is intended to be worth a target or more - not turn you coming from outright rubbish in to a top-four opponent! We know our experts've been actually covering this all year however the tale has actually been the same all year ... just like the tale of 'kinda residing in the blend with 5-6 rounds left and afterwards collapsing' has actually coincided for this entire nightclub for time after time. Receive a brand-new gimmick!This full week: Essendon at Marvel Arena, Sunday 7:30 pmBuckley regulations themself out of Eagles work|01:1814. ADELAIDE CROWS (7-12-1, 99.8%) Recently: Placed 15th, lost to Geelong by 5 ptsThis week: Western Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pm15. ST KILDA (8-12, 94.9%) Last week: Placed 14th, dropped to Brisbane by 85 ptsThis week: Richmond at Marvel Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, as our experts stated last week, these teams certainly never have the exact same result in the very same weekend break! So after Adelaide's reduction on Saturday it is actually opportunity to check the scores for the Saints' video game and-ah. Straight. Never mind. For what it's worth the Crows possibly weren't comparable to the scoreboard advised, obtaining bashed in the competition by a less-than-impressive Geelong midfield, so they were actually each below average. Let's find if either staff can play spoiler over the last 3 full weeks - the Saints could possibly mess up Carlton or even Geelong's time, while the Crows could injure the Dogs yet additional significantly would love to wreck Port's.

WEST SHORELINE EAGLES (4-16, 70%) Last week: Positioned 18th, def Gold Coastline by 10 ptsThis full week: North Melbourne at Blundstone Stadium, Saturday 1:45 pm17. NORTH MELBOURNE (3-17, 67%) Recently: Positioned 17th, def Richmond through 16 ptsThis week: West Shore Eagles at Blundstone Field, Saturday 1:45 pm18. RICHMOND (2-18, 64.7%) Recently: Ranked 16th, lost to North Melbourne through 16 ptsThis week: St Kilda at Marvel Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, the two-week Spoonbowl is probably over, along with Richmond actually deserving the get North - they won the game on assumed rating, off the rear of 60 inside 50s to 44 - yet booting themselves in to the No. 1 pick. (Which is perhaps for the greatest long-lasting.) Though to become decent, it is actually feasible the Kangaroos have really grasped goalkicking, provided they are actually No. 1 in the AFL for accuracy this year. West Shoreline on the other hand was actually correctly impressive versus a team playing for it time, with a season-high stress ranking as well as their third-best disputed things win for the year. Considering that Jarrad Schofield took control of the Eagles have actually gone coming from 17th in the AFL for tension to 8th, which is a good indication they're playing for him. Now all eyes look to North's attempt to complete outside all-time low two for the very first time this many years - while it will still drop to portion, they would certainly be in an excellent placement with a gain in Hobart.
