Perpetuity AEST.Adams to potentially overlook an additional GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To play: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Saturday 7:40 pmWin or even Lose: End Up 1stAnalysis: There are no reasonable scenarios where the Swans crash to gain the small premiership. There are actually impractical ones, though! A 100-point reduction, while Port Adelaide beats Fremantle by one hundred factors, would certainly do it.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and finish first, lot Geelong in a qualifying final2. PORT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To play: Fremantle at Optus Stadium, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Complete second if GWS sheds OR wins as well as doesn't make up 7-8 target portion void, 3rd if GWS triumphes and also comprises 7-8 goal percentage gapLose: End up 2nd if GWS loses (as well as Slot aren't defeated by 7-8 goals greater than the Giants), 3rd if GWS wins, fourth in really extremely unlikely case Geelong gains as well as comprises substantial percent gapAnalysis: The Electrical power will have the advantage of recognizing their precise instance heading into their final activity, though there is actually a quite true odds they'll be actually basically secured in to 2nd. And either way they're heading to be playing in the 2nd Qualifying Final. Their percentage bait GWS is actually around 7-8 targets, and also on Geelong it's closer to 20, so they are actually probably not receiving captured due to the Pet cats. Consequently if the Giants gain, the Power will need to succeed to lock up second location - yet so long as they do not acquire surged through a hopeless Dockers side, percentage should not be actually a complication. (If they win through a number of targets, GWS will need to win through 10 goals to catch all of them, and so on) Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and end up 2nd, lot GWS in a certifying final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To play: Western Bulldogs at Mars Stadium, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete second if Port Adelaide drops OR victories however loses hope 7-8 goal lead on percent, 3rd if Port Adelaide gains as well as holds portion leadLose: Finish 2nd if Slot Adelaide is beaten by 7-8 objectives more than they are, 3rd if Port Adelaide succeeds OR loses however keeps percentage lead AND Geelong loses OR victories and also does not comprise 10-goal portion space, fourth if Geelong wins and also comprises 10-goal percent gapAnalysis: They're locked right into the leading four, and also are very likely playing in the 2nd vs 3rd certifying final, though Geelong definitely understands exactly how to surge West Coastline at GMHBA Stadium. That's the only technique the Giants would quit of participating in Port Adelaide an enormous gain by the Kitties on Sunday (our company're speaking 10+ targets) and then a Giants reduction to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Cats don't succeed huge (or even succeed in all), the Giants will certainly be betting hosting liberties to the Second Qualifying Final. They can easily either make up a 7-8 objective gap in amount to pass Port Adelaide, or even just really hope Freo trumps them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Lose as well as end up third, away to Port Adelaide in a qualifying finalZach Tuohy details decision to resign|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To play: West Shoreline Eagles at GMHBA Coliseum, Saturday 1:45 pmWin: End up 3rd if GWS drops and also quits 10-goal percentage lead, 4th if GWS wins OR sheds yet holds onto portion top (fringe scenario they may achieve 2nd with gigantic gain) Lose: End Up fourth if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton shed, fifth if 3 shed, sixth if pair of shed, 7th if one drops, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they actually screwed that a person up. From resembling they were going to build portion as well as secure a top-four location, now the Pussy-cats need to win just to promise themselves the double possibility, with 4 teams hoping they lose to West Coastline so they can pinch 4th from all of them. On the plus side, this is one of the most unbalanced match in modern footy, with the Eagles losing 9 straight trips to Kardinia Playground by an average of 10+ objectives. It's not unrealistic to envision the Cats succeeding by that margin, as well as in combination along with even a slim GWS reduction, they will be actually moving in to an away certifying last vs Port Adelaide (for the 3rd time in five periods!). Otherwise a succeed should send them to the SCG. If the Cats really shed, they will definitely likely be delivered right into an elimination ultimate on our forecasts, right to 8th! Fox Footy's prediction: Win as well as finish 4th, away to Sydney in a training final5. BRISBANE COUGARS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To participate in: Essendon at the Gabba, Sunday 7:30 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong loses, fifth if Geelong winsLose: End up fifth if Western side Bulldogs shed as well as Hawthorn drop and also Carlton lose as well as Fremantle lose OR win yet go belly up to conquer large portion gap, 6th if 3 of those happen, 7th if pair of take place, 8th if one occurs, skip finals if none happenAnalysis: Certainly not just did they police yet another unpleasant reduction to the Pies, yet they obtained the incorrect group over them shedding! If the Lions were entering into Shot 24 hoping for Port or even GWS to drop, they 'd still possess a genuine chance at the leading four, yet definitely Geelong does not shed in the house to West Shore? As long as the Pet cats do the job, the Lions must be actually bound for an elimination last. Beating the Bombers would certainly after that promise all of them 5th location (and also's the side of the bracket you wish, if it implies preventing the Bulldogs as well as Hawks in full week one, and very likely obtaining Geelong in week two). A surprise loss to Essendon will find Chris Fagan's edge nervously checking out on Sunday to find the amount of teams pass them ... practically they could skip the 8 completely, but it is extremely unlikely for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and end up 5th, bunch Carlton in an elimination finalSelfish Cougars captured steering clear of allies|01:046. WESTERN BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To participate in: GWS Giants at Mars Arena, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Finish fourth if Geelong and Brisbane drop, 5th if one sheds, sixth if each winLose: Complete sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton and also Fremantle lose, 7th if pair of drop, 8th if one sheds, miss out on finals if they all winAnalysis: Aggravatingly for the Bulldogs, they can still overlook the eight, in spite of having the AFL's second-best portion as well as 13 success (which no one has actually EVER missed the 8 along with). In reality it is actually an incredibly actual possibility - they still need to perform against an in-form GWS to ensure their place in September. However that is actually certainly not the only factor at concern the Pets will promise themselves a home final with a victory (very likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), however even if they remain in the eight after losing, they may be moving to Brisbane for that removal final. At the various other edge of the sphere, there is actually still a very small odds they may sneak into the top 4, though it calls for West Coastline to defeat Geelong in Geelong, and Essendon to defeat Brisbane in Brisbane ... therefore a tiny opportunity. Fox Footy's prediction: Win and finish 6th, 'hold' Hawthorn in an elimination final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To play: North Melbourne at UTAS Arena, Sunday 4:35 pmWin: Finish 4th if Geelong, Brisbane as well as Western Bulldogs all drop AND Carlton drops OR success but loses big to eclipse all of them on percent (approx. 4 targets) fifth if 3 happen, sixth if pair of occur, 7th if one happens, 8th if none happenLose: Complete 7th if Fremantle sheds as well as Carlton drops while keeping overdue on amount, 8th if one sheds, miss finals if both winAnalysis: Our team would rather be the Hawks than the Bulldogs now, due to that they have actually obtained delegated to deal with. Sam Mitchell's men are actually a gain off of September, as well as just need to take care of business against an injury-hit North Melbourne who looked horrible against mentioned Pet dogs on Sunday. There's even a quite small chance they slip into the best four even more realistically they'll make themselves an MCG eradication last, either versus the Dogs, Freo or even Carlton. (The best-case case is actually most likely the Pet dogs shedding, so the Hawks end up 6th and play cry.) If they are actually upset through North though, they are actually equally terrified as the Pets, waiting on Carlton and Fremantle to observe if they're tossed out of the eight.Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain and also finish 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in an elimination finalMagic of Hok-ball clarified|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To participate in: Street Kilda at Marvel Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: End up 4th if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs as well as Hawthorn all shed OR Hawks gain however fall back Blues on amount (approx. 4 targets), fifth if 3 take place, sixth if two happen, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Hawthorn drops through sufficient to fall behind on amount AND Fremantle sheds, 8th if one occurs, typically overlook finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home state actually helped them out this weekend. Fremantle's reduction, combined with cry' get West Coastline, finds all of them inside the 8 and even able to participate in finals if they are actually outplayed through Street Kilda upcoming week. (Though they will be left praying for Port to trump Freo.) Genuinely they're visiting wish to defeat the Saints to guarantee on their own an area in September - as well as to offer on their own an opportunity of an MCG elimination last. If both the Pet dogs as well as Hawks drop, the Blues could possibly also organize that last, though our team will be actually quite stunned if the Hawks shed. Portion is actually likely to find into play due to Carlton's large draw West Coast - they might need to have to push the Saints to prevent participating in Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and also end up 8th, away to Brisbane in a removal final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To play: Port Adelaide at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish 6th if Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and Carlton lose, 7th if pair of shed, 8th if one sheds, miss out on finals if each of them winLose: Will definitely overlook finalsAnalysis: Oh terrific, one more cause to dislike West Coast. Their rivals' incapability to beat cry' B-team implies the Dockers go to true threat of their Round 24 video game coming to be a lifeless rubber. The formula is actually pretty simple - they need a minimum of some of the Canines, Hawks or Woes to drop prior to they play Port. If that happens, the Dockers can easily gain their way in to September. If all 3 win, they'll be actually done away with by the time they take the industry. (Technically Freo can also catch Brisbane on portion yet it's incredibly unlikely.) Fox Footy's prediction: Lose as well as miss finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood may theoretically still participate in finals, however needs to have to comprise a portion gap of 30+ targets to catch Carlton, plus Fremantle has to drop.
