All times AEST.Adams to potentially overlook one more GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To play: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Saturday 7:40 pmWin or Lose: Finish 1stAnalysis: There are no practical situations where the Swans fail to gain the small premiership. There are actually impractical ones, though! A 100-point reduction, while Slot Adelaide defeats Fremantle by one hundred factors, would do it.Fox Footy's prediction: Win as well as complete 1st, host Geelong in a certifying final2. SLOT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To play: Fremantle at Optus Arena, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish second if GWS drops OR success and does not compose 7-8 goal portion space, 3rd if GWS success and also comprises 7-8 objective percent gapLose: Complete second if GWS sheds (as well as Port aren't defeated by 7-8 targets greater than the Giants), third if GWS gains, fourth in quite unexpected scenario Geelong gains and also composes huge percent gapAnalysis: The Energy is going to have the advantage of understanding their specific case moving into their final video game, though there is actually a really actual chance they'll be actually more or less secured into second. And in any case they're going to be playing in the 2nd Qualifying Final. Their percentage lead on GWS is around 7-8 targets, and on Geelong it is actually closer to twenty, so they are actually possibly not acquiring captured by the Felines. As a result if the Giants gain, the Electrical power will require to succeed to secure second spot - however just as long as they do not acquire thrashed through a hopeless Dockers edge, amount shouldn't be a problem. (If they win by a couple of targets, GWS would certainly require to gain by 10 goals to record all of them, etc) Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain and also end up second, lot GWS in a certifying final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To play: Western Bulldogs at Mars Coliseum, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: End up 2nd if Slot Adelaide loses OR wins however loses hope 7-8 target bait percent, 3rd if Slot Adelaide wins and also holds percentage leadLose: Complete second if Slot Adelaide is beaten through 7-8 objectives more than they are actually, third if Slot Adelaide gains OR sheds however has amount lead as well as Geelong loses OR wins as well as doesn't comprise 10-goal percentage void, 4th if Geelong wins and composes 10-goal portion gapAnalysis: They are actually secured into the leading four, as well as are likely having fun in the second vs 3rd training last, though Geelong certainly knows exactly how to thrash West Coast at GMHBA Arena. That's the only method the Giants would leave of participating in Port Adelaide an extensive win due to the Felines on Sunday (we're chatting 10+ goals) and afterwards a Giants reduction to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Cats do not win huge (or win in any way), the Giants will definitely be playing for organizing rights to the 2nd Qualifying Final. They may either compose a 7-8 target gap in portion to pass Slot Adelaide, or merely hope Freo trumps them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Lose as well as complete third, away to Slot Adelaide in a certifying finalZach Tuohy clarifies selection to resign|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To participate in: West Coast Eagles at GMHBA Stadium, Sunday 1:45 pmWin: Finish third if GWS drops as well as surrenders 10-goal percentage top, 4th if GWS gains OR sheds but holds onto percentage top (fringe scenario they can meet second with massive gain) Lose: Complete 4th if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton drop, 5th if 3 lose, sixth if 2 shed, 7th if one loses, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they definitely tightened that one up. Coming from resembling they were actually heading to build portion and also secure a top-four location, now the Felines require to succeed merely to ensure on their own the double opportunity, with 4 teams hoping they drop to West Shore so they may squeeze fourth coming from them. On the in addition edge, this is actually the absolute most unequal matchup in contemporary footy, along with the Eagles shedding nine straight excursions to Kardinia Playground by around 10+ goals. It is actually not impractical to picture the Felines succeeding by that margin, as well as in blend with also a slender GWS reduction, they 'd be heading right into an away training final vs Port Adelaide (for the third attend five times!). Or else a gain ought to deliver all of them to the SCG. If the Felines in fact shed, they will certainly easily be sent into a removal ultimate on our predictions, completely up to 8th! Fox Footy's prediction: Gain as well as end up 4th, away to Sydney in a training final5. BRISBANE COUGARS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To play: Essendon at the Gabba, Sunday 7:30 pmWin: Finish fourth if Geelong sheds, fifth if Geelong winsLose: Complete fifth if Western Bulldogs shed and also Hawthorn drop AND Carlton shed AND Fremantle lose OR gain but lose big to get over very large percent void, sixth if three of those happen, 7th if two occur, 8th if one happens, miss finals if none happenAnalysis: Not merely did they police officer one more painful loss to the Pies, however they obtained the inappropriate staff over all of them shedding! If the Lions were going into Round 24 expecting Slot or GWS to shed, they would certainly still have a true shot at the leading 4, yet absolutely Geelong doesn't lose in the house to West Coast? Just as long as the Pussy-cats do the job, the Lions should be actually tied for an elimination ultimate. Defeating the Bombing planes will at that point promise all of them fifth location (and also is actually the edge of the brace you really want, if it indicates avoiding the Bulldogs and Hawks in week one, as well as very likely obtaining Geelong in week two). A shock reduction to Essendon would certainly observe Chris Fagan's side nervously enjoying on Sunday to see the amount of teams pass all of them ... actually they could overlook the eight totally, but it is incredibly impractical for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Win as well as end up 5th, host Carlton in an elimination finalSelfish Lions captured steering clear of allies|01:046. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To participate in: GWS Giants at Mars Arena, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Finish 4th if Geelong and Brisbane drop, 5th if one drops, 6th if each winLose: Complete sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton and Fremantle drop, 7th if 2 lose, 8th if one sheds, miss out on finals if they all winAnalysis: Annoyingly for the Bulldogs, they can easily still overlook the 8, even with having the AFL's second-best percent as well as 13 wins (which nobody has actually ever before missed the 8 with). Actually it is actually a quite genuine option - they still require to perform against an in-form GWS to guarantee their area in September. Yet that's certainly not the only trait at risk the Pet dogs would certainly assure themselves a home final along with a triumph (most likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), however even though they remain in the eight after dropping, they might be heading to Brisbane for that removal final. At the various other edge of the sphere, there's still a tiny odds they can sneak right into the leading four, though it requires West Coastline to beat Geelong in Geelong, and Essendon to beat Brisbane in Brisbane ... therefore a tiny chance. Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain and finish sixth, 'host' Hawthorn in an eradication final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To participate in: North Melbourne at UTAS Stadium, Sunday 4:35 pmWin: End up 4th if Geelong, Brisbane and also Western Bulldogs all shed as well as Carlton loses OR triumphes yet loses big to surpass them on percentage (approx. 4 targets) 5th if 3 happen, sixth if pair of take place, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Fremantle loses and also Carlton drops while remaining behind on portion, 8th if one sheds, miss finals if each winAnalysis: Our company prefer to be actually the Hawks than the Bulldogs at this moment, because of that they've obtained entrusted to experience. Sam Mitchell's men are a win out of September, and also simply require to function versus an injury-hit North Melbourne that appeared dreadful versus claimed Canines on Sunday. There's also an incredibly long shot they slip in to the leading 4 more truthfully they'll earn on their own an MCG eradication ultimate, either versus the Canines, Freo or even Carlton. (The best-case instance is perhaps the Pet dogs losing, so the Hawks end up sixth and play the Blues.) If they are actually outplayed through North though, they're equally scared as the Canines, waiting on Carlton and Fremantle to see if they're kicked out of the eight.Fox Footy's prediction: Win as well as finish 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in a removal finalMagic of Hok-ball revealed|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To participate in: St Kilda at Marvel Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Finish fourth if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and also Hawthorn all lose OR Hawks gain yet fall back Woes on percent (approx. 4 objectives), fifth if three happen, sixth if two occur, 7th if one happens, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Hawthorn loses by enough to fall back on portion AND Fremantle loses, 8th if one happens, typically skip finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home condition actually helped all of them out this weekend break. Fremantle's loss, combined along with the Blues' sway West Coastline, observes them inside the eight and also able to play finals if they are actually outplayed through Street Kilda following week. (Though they 'd be actually left behind wishing Port to beat Freo.) Truthfully they're visiting want to trump the Saints to assure on their own a location in September - and to provide themselves a chance of an MCG elimination last. If both the Pet dogs as well as Hawks drop, the Blues might even throw that last, though our company 'd be actually rather surprised if the Hawks dropped. Portion is most likely to follow right into play due to Carlton's huge draw West Shore - they might require to pump the Saints to stay away from participating in Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain and also complete 8th, away to Brisbane in a removal final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To participate in: Port Adelaide at Optus Arena, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Complete 6th if Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton lose, 7th if two lose, 8th if one sheds, miss finals if each one of all of them winLose: Will definitely miss out on finalsAnalysis: Oh wonderful, another reason to dislike West Coastline. Their rivals' incapability to defeat cry' B-team suggests the Dockers go to genuine danger of their Round 24 activity coming to be a lifeless rubber. The equation is actually quite basic - they need at the very least among the Pet dogs, Hawks or Woes to shed just before they play Port. If that occurs, the Dockers may gain their technique right into September. If all 3 succeed, they'll be actually gotten rid of by the opportunity they take the industry. (Technically Freo can additionally capture Brisbane on amount but it's extremely not likely.) Fox Footy's forecast: Drop as well as miss finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood may practically still play finals, yet needs to compose a percentage space of 30+ goals to catch Carlton, plus Fremantle needs to drop.
