BRISBANE LIONS (13-6-1, 125.1%) Last week: Ranked 1st, def St Kilda through 85 ptsThis full week: GWS Giants at the Gabba, Saturday 1:45 pm2. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (12-8, 122.4%) Last week: Positioned 2nd, def Melbourne by 51 ptsThis full week: Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pmWith the Swans decreasing a high cliff, if our team had to anticipate a Grand Final now, this would be it. It might not also be achievable - if the Bulldogs can't break the top 4, they might be on an unavoidable collision course in a prelim. But in a set of video games that our experts presumed were actually prospective banana peelings, both they and also Brisbane were prevalent. The Dogs' support is amazing today in spite of all their employees problems, No. 2 for aspects permitted and No. 1 for factors made it possible for coming from turnovers over the last six weeks, while the Lions have actually lifted because division over that time frame at the same time (and also they badly needed to have to). Provided how properly Brisbane are actually going you in fact need to think about, will they be actually the completely leading banner much-loved immediately if they hadn't copped many ACL traumas? To be in this posture provided those impacts is very exceptional, and the Bulldogs are as near to a serious flag competitor as they've been for many years. What our company've discovered over the final couple of seasons is that the AFL's attempts to take competitive balance imply staffs can actually start mid-season and rise right into the premiership race - we need to cease eliminating gifted listings when they start slowly.Kingy discharges on 'disconcerting' Swans|03:523. SYDNEY SWANS (14-6, 126.1%) Last week: Ranked 3rd, lost to Port Adelaide through 112 ptsNo concern where you appear, Saturday night was actually embarrassingly poor. There are just a couple of comparables to THIS sort of reduction for an ultimate premier, but none of them were this negative. In fact no V/AFL premier has actually shed a video game through much more than 100 points that time, and also the greatest reduction by an eventual premier in the AFL period was actually Slot Adelaide getting pumped by 92 factors versus the Kangaroos in Sphere 8, 2004. The much bigger trouble is actually that this isn't almost the final pair of full weeks over the final six they are actually 17th for contended belongings, 18th for groundball receives, 18th for clearances, 17th for factors coming from turn over differential as well as 15th for stress ranking. A blowout loss will certainly blow those stats out too yet they possess absolutely nothing like a premier's profile page since the begin of July. Thus why perform our company still have them 3rd? Well you do not sit a million activities crystal clear atop the ladder for no cause possibly the remainder of the AFL has found them out yet we still have some peace of mind the Swans may find something near their absolute best. And they ought to still finish leading 2, which establishes all of them up and also possible.This full week: Collingwood at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmLongmire hits back at "self-seeking" remarks|01:004. SLOT ADELAIDE (13-7, 113.6%) Last week: Positioned 9th, def Sydney by 112 ptsUnfortunately for the Energy, when you win an activity by THAT much, the story is always regarding the losing team and how the heck they were actually that negative. Thus allow's offer Slot some should have praise, given that they are actually absolutely seeming like a top-four group at this moment, as well as may be severe! Over the final six full weeks they're No. 2 in the AFL for aspects scored, No. 1 for points against, No. 3 for disputed possessions and also No. 3 for open spaces - yes the size of the Sydney succeed throws those stats out a small amount, but they've plainly found some genuine form. And also if they've shut the void in between where they were, because 5th to 8th brace, to the bottom end of the leading four they're truly in the prelim ultimate ethnicity. Which will be actually a pretty good end result offered the general ambiance of stress this period possesses or else held.This week: Melbourne at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm5. FREMANTLE (12-7-1, 116.7%) Recently: Positioned fourth, lost to Essendon by 1 ptIt have to be actually acquiring irritating for Dockers enthusiasts - their team has dropped 4 games they led at three-quarter-time this year, pair of much more than anybody else. As well as it would possess been actually a useful get the Bombing planes too, provided the Swans' loss previously on the weekend. Despite them needing to face three groups sitting over all of them on the ladder over the ultimate 3 full weeks our team are actually not as well anxious they definitely must gain their pair of staying home activities, which would be enough to play finals, and also also on 13 and a fifty percent gains their exceptional percent would really carry out some excellent holding off Essendon. This isn't the Freo of recent - they're No. 1 for aspects scored over the final six full weeks, and also it is actually the very first time because 2013 they have actually been No. 1 in the comp over any six-week period.This week: Geelong at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 4:35 pmEmmett handed ban for unsafe address|00:226. GWS GIANTS (13-7, 111.2%) Recently: Placed 8th, def Hawthorn through 2 ptsThey looked no place near it by means of 3 quarters versus the Hawks, but at that point told everyone of the market value of superstars. Toby Greene is very great, it turns out. Possible Coleman winner Jesse Hogan has been actually wonderful for 18 months. As well as even Brent Daniels, one of their more underrated superstars throughout their current effectiveness, was actually a massive consider the comeback along with an immense 12 last-quarter fingertips. Provided the Lions' defensive absentees exists some opportunity Hogan and also the crew get a hold of the Brisbane back 6 and take a severe distress on Sunday? They are actually gon na need to have to gain one more video game to play finals footy (and also it might even be limited on 14 triumphes) so they might also receive it performed ASAP.This week: Brisbane Lions at the Gabba, Saturday 1:45 pmKingsley ignites healthy and balanced GWS settings|02:167. CARLTON (12-8, 112.1%) Recently: Positioned 5th, dropped to Collingwood by 3 ptsWe are actually visiting always keep relying on cry until they force our palm, since there is actually still a lot going their means. Yes they've shed four of their final 5 games, however 3 of those were merely by a number of targets, and also final Saturday night was actually literally determined through a zing. Maybe much more notably they are still the No. 1 team in the AFL for aspects from turn over differential - the most vital scoring resource. A monstrous 19 of the last twenty groups to rate No. 1 in that stat have actually created an initial ultimate or even a lot better. They're unfair, because they are actually 16th for factors from clearances over the last 6 weeks, yet you prefer to be actually turnover-focused (as they are this year) than stoppage-focused (as they were in 2014). It would certainly be close to a catastrophe if this group skipped the eight, given the desires and where they were simply a month earlier, however if they drop to the Hawks the probability is actually live.This full week: Hawthorn at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm8. GEELONG (13-7, 108.9%) Last week: Rated sixth, def Adelaide through 5 ptsFunny exactly how the Felines are actually each pretty well-placed in a strict finals ethnicity and giving our company much less confidence in their quality simultaneously. The margin perhaps shouldn't have actually been pretty that strict versus Adelaide, but it was actually, and our team probably need to have to stop referring to Kardinia Playground as a barrier - given they are actually 5-3 in your home, 2 of those wins getting single digit scopes. But once more, they're well-placed on thirteen victories and with West Coastline in the house to find in the final round. Squeeze a draw the Dockers or even St Kilda just before that, and they're well and definitely safe in the 8. There are still some explanations for confidence, like Patrick Dangerfield discovering form as well as the midfield carrying out extremely well general against the Crows, plus the defence has actually risen more than the last 6 full weeks (No. 5 for factors conceded). But although the top four is actually accessible, they don't feel like a top 4 team.This full week: Fremantle at Optus Stadium, Saturday 4:35 pmRobbo exposes Tomahawks' best qualities|03:489. HAWTHORN (11-9, 104.1%) Last week: Rated 7th, shed to GWS by 2 ptsSunday's activity is actually the absolute most vital for any type of one team we have actually seen until now in 2024. That's because Hawthorn's result versus Carlton will efficiently decide their season. They have actually got an agape course to 14 wins with a success, as well as no crew has actually even missed out on the leading 8 with thirteen wins before. However shed as well as they're most likely visiting be two games out of the eight with 2 to participate in, a virtually unworkable setting. They are still performing a lot right however the issue we understood concerning entering into the time, their defence, is striking at a bad time - over the final 6 weeks they're No. 1 for interior fifties against, however 17th for ratings per inside fifty versus. Thus staffs may not be getting it down certainly there a lot, but when they do, they're racking up at can. There's a little bit of bad luck during that however it's not all luck. As we've created before, even if the Hawks overlook the finals this time has been actually extraordinary, but jeez it will be discouraging when they're therefore near to among the very best accounts in years.This full week: Carlton at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm10. ESSENDON (11-8-1, 95.9%) Recently: Positioned 12th, def Fremantle by 1 ptTurns out our experts overlooked just how essential Darcy Parish is actually to this team. After a silent first activity back he was enormous versus a star-studded Freo midfield. Along with him this period, the Bombing planes are +20 for spaces and +18 coming from centre open spaces without him they are actually -17 and +4 respectively. That sway Freo could possibly receive all of them in to the finals but there's likewise a genuine possibility someone overlooks with 14 success, particularly if the Hawks trumped Carlton this weekend, as well as for the Bombers their draw and their bad percent have the very same effect of making them shed sudden deaths. It will be rather ruthless if they succeeded thirteen and also a half video games and also lost out yet concurrently, this is what happens when you lose to non-finalists Melbourne, Adelaide and Street Kilda - you join them.This week: Gold Coastline Suns at Marvel Coliseum, Saturday 7:30 pm' He's sheltering all of them from the pressure'|03:0311. COLLINGWOOD (10-8-2, 100.2%) Recently: Placed 13th, def Carlton by 2 ptsSo the inquiry is, are they back? They need to become near their greatest to make the eight from here - Melbourne will not be playing for anything in Round 24 so you would certainly think the Magpies gain that one, yet dealing with the top pair of over the following pair of weeks is actually pretty tough. Possibly they have actually timed this clash with Sydney effectively, but we're certainly not persuaded Collingwood is good enough to beat the ladder forerunners, even within this damaged condition. It deserves keeping in mind the Magpies are actually only 16th for inside 50s over the last 6 weeks, yet third for scores per inside fifty, therefore performance is actually keeping all of them going. Their support has actually been no place near good enough over that time period so they are actually visiting require to take their chances to cease the Swans, as well as if they perform, after that the other opponents will definitely start to worry. Nobody desires to experience a rejuvenated Magpies in September.This full week: Sydney Swans at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmMagpies seek finals locate versus swans|00:3012. MELBOURNE (10-10, 97.9%) Recently: Placed 10th, shed to Western Bulldogs by 51 ptsFor the very first time this years the Demons will definitely head into the AFL time's lifeless area, playing out the chain along with absolutely nothing on the line. In a way, being efficiently out of the finals nationality must be freeing - they can easily bet 2025, trialling gamers in brand-new postures and sending painful gamers in for very early surgical operations. Nevertheless check out Geelong as well as Fremantle, that transformed quite frustrating 2023 times in to probably 2024 finals berths you can not count out the capacity of teams who've possessed success to just get better a year later on. Hell, Collingwood is actually the best example. Each of this is actually why our team're not stressing concerning Melbourne's condition certainly not up until midway via next year, anyway.This week: Slot Adelaide at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm13. GOLD COAST SUNSHINES (9-11, 100.4%) Last week: Ranked 11th, shed to West Shore through 10 ptsTheir home-away split is really staggering. Home ground benefit is actually meant to become worth an objective or two - not turn you from downright rubbish in to a top-four opponent! We know we have actually been actually blogging about this all year but the tale has actually coincided all year ... just like the story of 'kinda being in the combine with 5-6 rounds left behind and after that breaking down' has actually been the same for this entire nightclub for time after period. Get a new gimmick!This full week: Essendon at Wonder Coliseum, Sunday 7:30 pmBuckley regulations himself away from Eagles job|01:1814. ADELAIDE CROWS (7-12-1, 99.8%) Recently: Positioned 15th, dropped to Geelong through 5 ptsThis week: Western Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pm15. ST KILDA (8-12, 94.9%) Recently: Rated 14th, shed to Brisbane by 85 ptsThis week: Richmond at Wonder Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, as we said recently, these staffs never ever have the same cause the very same weekend break! So after Adelaide's loss on Saturday it's opportunity to check the scores for the Saints' activity and-ah. Straight. Don't bother. Of what it costs the Crows perhaps weren't as good as the scoreboard recommended, obtaining bashed in the competition through a less-than-impressive Geelong midfield, so they were both below average. Let's observe if either crew can participate in spoiler over the final three full weeks - the Saints might wreck Carlton or Geelong's season, while the Crows could hurt the Pets yet more essentially would enjoy to wreck Port's.

WEST SHORELINE BALD EAGLES (4-16, 70%) Last week: Positioned 18th, def Gold Coast by 10 ptsThis week: North Melbourne at Blundstone Stadium, Sunday 1:45 pm17. NORTH MELBOURNE (3-17, 67%) Last week: Placed 17th, def Richmond through 16 ptsThis week: West Shore Eagles at Blundstone Field, Saturday 1:45 pm18. RICHMOND (2-18, 64.7%) Recently: Positioned 16th, dropped to North Melbourne by 16 ptsThis full week: St Kilda at Marvel Arena, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, the two-week Spoonbowl is actually probably over, along with Richmond in fact deserving the gain North - they won the game on assumed credit rating, off the back of 60 inside 50s to 44 - but kicking on their own right into the No. 1 selection. (Which is possibly for the very best long-term.) Though to become fair, it is actually achievable the Kangaroos have actually grasped goalkicking, given they are actually No. 1 in the AFL for accuracy this year. West Shoreline at the same time was appropriately outstanding against a team having fun for it season, with a season-high tension score and also their third-best objected to properties gain for the year. Because Jarrad Schofield consumed the Eagles have gone from 17th in the AFL for tension to eighth, which is a respectable indication they're playing for him. Currently all eyes count on North's effort to finish outside the bottom pair of for the very first time this many years - while it would still decrease to portion, they would certainly reside in a good posture along with a win in Hobart.
