Perpetuity AEST.Adams to likely overlook another GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To participate in: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Saturday 7:40 pmWin or even Miss: End Up 1stAnalysis: There are actually no practical scenarios where the Swans fail to gain the minor premiership. There are actually unlikely ones, though! A 100-point loss, while Port Adelaide trumps Fremantle by 100 factors, would certainly do it.Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and also complete first, bunch Geelong in a certifying final2. SLOT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To participate in: Fremantle at Optus Stadium, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish 2nd if GWS sheds OR wins as well as does not comprise 7-8 goal amount gap, 3rd if GWS triumphes and makes up 7-8 objective amount gapLose: Complete 2nd if GWS sheds (and also Slot aren't beaten through 7-8 objectives greater than the Giants), third if GWS gains, fourth in incredibly not likely scenario Geelong succeeds and comprises substantial portion gapAnalysis: The Electrical power is going to have the perk of understanding their specific scenario heading into their last activity, though there is actually an extremely true possibility they'll be actually essentially latched right into 2nd. And in any case they're mosting likely to be playing in the Second Qualifying Final. Their amount lead on GWS is actually about 7-8 targets, and on Geelong it is actually closer to 20, so they're probably certainly not receiving recorded by the Pussy-cats. For that reason if the Giants win, the Electrical power is going to require to win to secure 2nd location - yet just as long as they do not obtain punished by a determined Dockers edge, portion should not be actually a trouble. (If they win by a couple of goals, GWS will require to win through 10 targets to capture all of them, and so on) Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and finish 2nd, multitude GWS in a training final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To participate in: Western Bulldogs at Mars Arena, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete 2nd if Slot Adelaide loses OR triumphes but loses hope 7-8 objective bait portion, 3rd if Slot Adelaide gains and holds percent leadLose: Finish 2nd if Port Adelaide is beaten by 7-8 targets more than they are actually, third if Port Adelaide gains OR drops yet holds percent top as well as Geelong drops OR wins as well as doesn't compose 10-goal percent gap, 4th if Geelong wins and also composes 10-goal amount gapAnalysis: They're secured in to the top 4, as well as are actually likely playing in the 2nd vs 3rd training ultimate, though Geelong certainly knows exactly how to whip West Shore at GMHBA Stadium. That's the only means the Giants will quit of participating in Slot Adelaide a gigantic win by the Pussy-cats on Sunday (we are actually talking 10+ objectives) and after that a Giants reduction to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Felines don't gain large (or win in all), the Giants is going to be playing for hosting legal rights to the Second Qualifying Final. They can easily either make up a 7-8 goal space in percentage to pass Slot Adelaide, or even just wish Freo beats them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Drop and finish 3rd, away to Port Adelaide in a certifying finalZach Tuohy clarifies decision to resign|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To play: West Shoreline Eagles at GMHBA Stadium, Sunday 1:45 pmWin: Complete third if GWS loses as well as loses hope 10-goal percentage lead, 4th if GWS gains OR drops but holds onto percent lead (edge circumstance they can reach 2nd along with substantial win) Lose: End Up 4th if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton lose, fifth if three drop, sixth if 2 lose, 7th if one drops, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they really tightened that one up. From looking like they were visiting create percentage and also lock up a top-four place, right now the Pet cats need to have to succeed just to guarantee on their own the dual chance, along with 4 staffs wishing they drop to West Coastline so they can pinch 4th coming from them. On the bonus side, this is the most uneven competition in modern-day footy, along with the Eagles losing nine straight journeys to Kardinia Park by around 10+ objectives. It's not impractical to imagine the Pet cats winning by that margin, and also in mix with even a slim GWS loss, they 'd be moving in to an away training final vs Slot Adelaide (for the 3rd time in five seasons!). Typically a win ought to send them to the SCG. If the Pussy-cats really drop, they will definitely probably be actually delivered right into an elimination final on our forecasts, right down to 8th! Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and end up 4th, away to Sydney in a training final5. BRISBANE COUGARS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To play: Essendon at the Gabba, Saturday 7:30 pmWin: Finish 4th if Geelong loses, fifth if Geelong winsLose: Finish fifth if Western side Bulldogs shed and also Hawthorn drop as well as Carlton lose AND Fremantle shed OR win however go under to get rid of huge amount gap, 6th if 3 of those take place, 7th if two happen, 8th if one occurs, skip finals if none happenAnalysis: Not simply did they police officer an additional unpleasant reduction to the Pies, but they got the incorrect group over all of them shedding! If the Lions were going into Round 24 wishing for Port or GWS to drop, they 'd still possess a real chance at the best 4, however certainly Geelong doesn't lose in the house to West Shoreline? Just as long as the Kitties do the job, the Lions must be tied for a removal ultimate. Beating the Bombing planes will then guarantee them fifth spot (which's the edge of the brace you prefer, if it means staying away from the Bulldogs and also Hawks in week one, as well as likely getting Geelong in full week pair of). A shock loss to Essendon would certainly view Chris Fagan's side nervously checking out on Sunday to observe how many teams pass all of them ... theoretically they can skip the eight totally, however it is very unrealistic for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain and also end up 5th, lot Carlton in an eradication finalSelfish Lions recorded avoiding teammates|01:046. WESTERN BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To play: GWS Giants at Mars Stadium, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: End up 4th if Geelong as well as Brisbane lose, fifth if one sheds, sixth if each winLose: Finish 6th if Hawthorn, Carlton and also Fremantle drop, 7th if two drop, 8th if one loses, miss finals if they all winAnalysis: Irritatingly for the Bulldogs, they can easily still overlook the 8, regardless of having the AFL's second-best percentage and also 13 victories (which no one has actually ever before missed the 8 with). In fact it's a quite real probability - they still require to function versus an in-form GWS to guarantee their spot in September. However that is actually certainly not the only trait at risk the Pet dogs will ensure themselves a home last with a victory (likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), but regardless of whether they remain in the 8 after dropping, they can be moving to Brisbane for that eradication ultimate. At the other end of the range, there's still a very small odds they can easily creep in to the best four, though it needs West Shore to trump Geelong in Geelong, and also Essendon to beat Brisbane in Brisbane ... thereby a small odds. Fox Footy's prediction: Win and also end up 6th, 'range' Hawthorn in an elimination final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To participate in: North Melbourne at UTAS Coliseum, Saturday 4:35 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong, Brisbane as well as Western Bulldogs all lose as well as Carlton sheds OR victories but loses big to surpass all of them on percent (approx. 4 goals) 5th if three take place, sixth if two take place, 7th if one happens, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Fremantle drops and also Carlton sheds while staying overdue on percentage, 8th if one loses, skip finals if both winAnalysis: Our team prefer to be the Hawks than the Bulldogs today, because of that they've received entrusted to face. Sam Mitchell's guys are actually a succeed out of September, and also just need to take care of business against an injury-hit North Melbourne who appeared terrible versus said Canines on Sunday. There's also a quite small chance they sneak in to the top four additional genuinely they'll make on their own an MCG elimination final, either against the Canines, Freo or Carlton. (The best-case situation is perhaps the Pets losing, so the Hawks finish sixth as well as play cry.) If they're outplayed by North though, they're equally as intimidated as the Canines, waiting for Carlton as well as Fremantle to find if they're rejected of the eight.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and complete 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in an elimination finalMagic of Hok-ball clarified|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To play: St Kilda at Wonder Arena, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs as well as Hawthorn all drop OR Hawks win but fall behind Blues on percent (approx. 4 objectives), 5th if 3 occur, 6th if two take place, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: Complete 7th if Hawthorn loses through good enough to fall behind on amount as well as Fremantle drops, 8th if one takes place, or else miss out on finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home condition definitely helped them out this weekend break. Fremantle's loss, combined along with cry' win over West Shore, finds all of them inside the 8 and also even capable to play finals if they are actually outplayed through Street Kilda following week. (Though they would certainly be left behind wishing Port to trump Freo.) Genuinely they are actually visiting intend to beat the Saints to assure themselves a spot in September - and also to offer on their own a possibility of an MCG eradication last. If both the Pet dogs and Hawks lose, cry could even host that last, though our experts would certainly be rather surprised if the Hawks shed. Portion is most likely to follow into play due to Carlton's huge gain West Coast - they might need to pump the Saints to steer clear of participating in Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain as well as complete 8th, away to Brisbane in an eradication final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To participate in: Slot Adelaide at Optus Stadium, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish sixth if Western Side Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton shed, 7th if pair of drop, 8th if one drops, miss out on finals if each one of them winLose: Will miss out on finalsAnalysis: Oh great, another main reason to detest West Coast. Their rivals' incapacity to trump cry' B-team implies the Dockers go to real risk of their Round 24 video game coming to be a dead rubber. The equation is actually fairly straightforward - they need to have a minimum of one of the Canines, Hawks or even Woes to lose before they play Port. If that occurs, the Dockers can easily succeed their means into September. If all three gain, they'll be done away with by the time they get the field. (Technically Freo can easily also record Brisbane on portion but it is actually very improbable.) Fox Footy's forecast: Lose and overlook finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood may technically still participate in finals, yet needs to have to comprise a portion space of 30+ targets to catch Carlton, plus Fremantle has to lose.
