BRISBANE LIONS (13-6-1, 125.1%) Last week: Positioned 1st, def Street Kilda by 85 ptsThis full week: GWS Giants at the Gabba, Sunday 1:45 pm2. WESTERN BULLDOGS (12-8, 122.4%) Last week: Positioned 2nd, def Melbourne through 51 ptsThis week: Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pmWith the Swans decreasing a cliff, if our experts must predict a Grand Final now, this would certainly be it. It might not even be achievable - if the Bulldogs can not fracture the top four, they can be on an unavoidable collision course in a prelim. But in a pair of video games that we assumed were possible fruit peelings, both they as well as Brisbane were actually dominant. The Dogs' support is exceptional now regardless of all their personnel concerns, No. 2 for points permitted and also No. 1 for aspects permitted from turnovers over the final six full weeks, while the Lions have elevated because department over that period also (as well as they badly needed to). Offered exactly how well Brisbane are actually going you in fact must wonder, would they be actually the utterly dominant banner preferred immediately if they hadn't copped plenty of ACL traumas? To be in this placement given those blows is extremely remarkable, and also the Bulldogs are actually as close to a major banner opponent as they have actually been for years. What our experts've found out over the last handful of times is that the AFL's efforts to bring affordable equilibrium indicate crews may really get going mid-season as well as rise in to the premiership ethnicity - our experts need to stop eliminating proficient listings when they begin slowly.Kingy discharges on 'worrying' Swans|03:523. SYDNEY SWANS (14-6, 126.1%) Recently: Ranked 3rd, lost to Slot Adelaide through 112 ptsNo matter where you look, Sunday night was embarrassingly unsatisfactory. There are actually a few comparables to THIS kind of loss for a possible premier, yet none were this negative. In fact no V/AFL premier has shed a game through more than one hundred points that time, as well as the largest reduction by a possible premier in the AFL time was Slot Adelaide obtaining pushed through 92 factors versus the Kangaroos in Sphere 8, 2004. The larger issue is that this isn't nearly the last 2 full weeks over the final 6 they are actually 17th for disputed things, 18th for groundball obtains, 18th for clearances, 17th for aspects from turnover differential and also 15th for tension ranking. A blowout reduction will blow those stats out also yet they possess nothing like a premier's profile since the beginning of July. Thus why do our team still possess them 3rd? Well you don't sit a million video games very clear in addition to the step ladder for no explanation maybe the rest of the AFL has discovered all of them out yet our company still possess some self-confidence the Swans can easily find one thing near their ideal. As well as they ought to still end up leading two, which establishes them up in addition to possible.This week: Collingwood at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmLongmire counters at "egoistic" reviews|01:004. SLOT ADELAIDE (13-7, 113.6%) Recently: Ranked 9th, def Sydney by 112 ptsUnfortunately for the Power, when you win an activity through THAT considerably, the story is constantly about the dropping crew and also exactly how the heck they were that negative. Therefore allow's provide Slot some was worthy of approval, given that they are genuinely appearing like a top-four crew right now, and may be serious! Over the final six full weeks they are actually No. 2 in the AFL for factors racked up, No. 1 for aspects against, No. 3 for objected to properties as well as No. 3 for clearances - yes the magnitude of the Sydney win tosses those statistics out a bit, but they have actually clearly located some true form. As well as if they've closed the gap between where they were, during that 5th to 8th brace, down end of the leading 4 they are actually really in the prelim last ethnicity. Which would be actually a good end result offered the overall atmosphere of frustration this period possesses typically held.This full week: Melbourne at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm5. FREMANTLE (12-7-1, 116.7%) Recently: Ranked 4th, dropped to Essendon through 1 ptIt have to be acquiring aggravating for Dockers fans - their group has actually lost 4 video games they led at three-quarter-time this year, 2 more than anybody else. As well as it would possess been actually a convenient sway the Bombing planes also, given the Swans' reduction previously on the weekend. Despite all of them needing to encounter three groups resting above all of them on the ladder over the ultimate 3 full weeks our team are actually certainly not as well anxious they definitely ought to win their two remaining home games, which will suffice to play finals, as well as also on thirteen as well as a half gains their great percent would actually do some good holding off Essendon. This isn't the Freo of recent - they're No. 1 for factors scored over the final 6 weeks, and also it's the first time given that 2013 they have actually been actually No. 1 in the compensation over any six-week period.This full week: Geelong at Optus Arena, Saturday 4:35 pmEmmett handed restriction for hazardous deal with|00:226. GWS GIANTS (13-7, 111.2%) Recently: Placed 8th, def Hawthorn by 2 ptsThey appeared nowhere near it with 3 fourths versus the Hawks, but after that reminded everybody of the market value of celebrities. Toby Greene is very good, it turns out. Prospective Coleman champion Jesse Hogan has actually been actually fantastic for 18 months. As well as even Brent Daniels, among their more underrated superstars during the course of their current results, was actually a significant think about the comeback along with a whopping 12 last-quarter disposals. Given the Lions' defensive absentees exists some odds Hogan and the workers acquire the Brisbane back 6 and draw a serious distress on Sunday? They are actually gon na require to gain one more activity to play finals footy (and also it could also be limited on 14 success) so they might also obtain it done ASAP.This full week: Brisbane Lions at the Gabba, Sunday 1:45 pmKingsley stirs up healthy GWS settings|02:167. CARLTON (12-8, 112.1%) Recently: Rated 5th, shed to Collingwood by 3 ptsWe're heading to always keep relying on the Blues till they oblige our hand, given that there's still so much going their means. Yes they've dropped four of their final five games, however three of those were actually just by a couple of goals, and last Saturday night was actually virtually chosen through a zing. Perhaps more essentially they are actually still the No. 1 group in the AFL for points coming from turnover differential - one of the most vital racking up source. A massive 19 of the final 20 crews to rank No. 1 because stat have actually created a preliminary ultimate or better. They're discriminatory, since they're 16th for factors from spaces over the last six weeks, however you prefer to be actually turnover-focused (as they are this year) than stoppage-focused (as they were in 2015). It will be close to a catastrophe if this staff missed out on the eight, provided the requirements as well as where they were actually just a month ago, but if they lose to the Hawks the option is live.This full week: Hawthorn at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm8. GEELONG (13-7, 108.9%) Recently: Ranked 6th, def Adelaide through 5 ptsFunny just how the Cats are both fairly well-placed in a tight finals ethnicity and also offering our company a lot less peace of mind in their premium all at once. The margin possibly should not have actually been actually fairly that limited versus Adelaide, but it was, and also we perhaps need to cease talking about Kardinia Park as a fortress - offered they're 5-3 in the home, 2 of those success coming by single finger frames. However again, they are actually well-placed on 13 wins and also with West Coastline at home to follow in the last round. Squeeze a draw the Dockers or even Street Kilda just before that, and they are actually properly and also definitely risk-free in the eight. There are still some explanations for self-confidence, like Patrick Dangerfield locating kind as well as the midfield performing effectively total against the Crows, plus the protection has risen more than the last six full weeks (No. 5 for aspects conceded). But although the best 4 is available, they do not believe that a best four team.This full week: Fremantle at Optus Arena, Saturday 4:35 pmRobbo exposes Tomahawks' best qualities|03:489. HAWTHORN (11-9, 104.1%) Recently: Placed 7th, lost to GWS by 2 ptsSunday's game is one of the most significant for any sort of one crew our experts've observed thus far in 2024. That is actually because Hawthorn's result against Carlton will effectively choose their season. They've acquired an agape pathway to 14 success with a triumph, and no staff has also missed out on the top 8 along with 13 victories prior to. But shed as well as they are actually possibly mosting likely to be actually pair of games away from the eight with pair of to participate in, a practically unrecoverable placement. They are still doing a lot right however the problem we knew concerning entering into the season, their support, stands out at a bad time - over the final six full weeks they're No. 1 for within fifties versus, but 17th for ratings every inside fifty versus. Therefore staffs may not be ascertaining there much, however when they carry out, they are actually racking up at will. There is actually a little tragedy during that yet it is actually certainly not all luck. As our company have actually composed before, even though the Hawks miss out on the finals this period has actually been extraordinary, yet jeez it will be actually frustrating when they're therefore close to one of the greatest tales in years.This 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 neglected just how essential Darcy Parish is to this staff. After a quiet initial video game back he was actually huge versus a star-studded Freo midfield. With him this period, the Bombers are +20 for clearances and also +18 from facility allowances without him they're -17 and +4 specifically. That get Freo might obtain all of them in to the finals however there is actually likewise a legitimate chance somebody misses with 14 wins, particularly if the Hawks beat Carlton this weekend, and for the Bombers their draw and their unsatisfactory portion have the exact same impact of producing all of them shed tiebreakers. It would be actually quite harsh if they won 13 as well as a half video games as well as lost out yet at the same time, this is what takes place when you lose to non-finalists Melbourne, Adelaide and also Street Kilda - you join them.This full week: Gold Coast Suns at Wonder Arena, Saturday 7:30 pm' He is actually covering them from the tension'|03:0311. COLLINGWOOD (10-8-2, 100.2%) Last week: Rated 13th, def Carlton through 2 ptsSo the concern is, are they back? They need to have to become near their best to bring in the eight away - Melbourne will not be actually betting everything in Round 24 so you 'd presume the Magpies gain that a person, but encountering the leading 2 over the upcoming pair of full weeks is quite difficult. Possibly they have actually timed this encounter Sydney effectively, however our experts're not persuaded Collingwood is good enough to trump the step ladder forerunners, also in this stressed state. It deserves taking note the Magpies are just 16th for inside 50s over the final 6 full weeks, but 3rd for credit ratings every inside 50, thus productivity is actually keeping them going. Their protection has actually been actually no place near good enough over that time frame so they are actually going to need to take their chances to quit the Swans, and if they perform, after that the various other opponents will certainly begin to fret. No person wants to deal with a brought back Magpies in September.This full week: Sydney Swans at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmMagpies seek finals detect against swans|00:3012. MELBOURNE (10-10, 97.9%) Last week: Rated 10th, shed to Western Bulldogs through 51 ptsFor the first time this decade the Demons will certainly move into the AFL time's lifeless zone, participating in out the string along with nothing on the line. In a way, being actually properly out of the finals nationality should be clearing - they can play for 2025, trialling gamers in new postures and also sending sore gamers in for early surgeries. Nevertheless examine Geelong as well as Fremantle, that switched really frustrating 2023 times right into likely 2024 finals berths you can't count out the ability of crews who've had effectiveness to just bounce back a year later. Hell, Collingwood is actually the greatest instance. Each one of this is why we're not overreacting concerning Melbourne's scenario not up until midway by means of next year, anyway.This full week: Slot Adelaide at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm13. GOLD COAST SUNSHINES (9-11, 100.4%) Last week: Placed 11th, dropped to West Shore by 10 ptsTheir home-away crack is really spectacular. Home ground benefit is intended to become worth an objective or 2 - not switch you coming from absolute rubbish into a top-four contender! We know we've been discussing this all year but the story has actually coincided all year ... much like the tale of 'kinda residing in the mix with 5-6 rounds left and afterwards crumbling' has actually coincided for this entire nightclub for time after season. Get a brand-new gimmick!This week: Essendon at Wonder Coliseum, Sunday 7:30 pmBuckley regulations themself away from Eagles work|01:1814. ADELAIDE CROWS (7-12-1, 99.8%) Last week: Ranked 15th, lost to Geelong by 5 ptsThis week: Western Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pm15. ST KILDA (8-12, 94.9%) Recently: Placed 14th, dropped to Brisbane by 85 ptsThis full week: Richmond at Wonder Arena, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, as our company stated recently, these groups never possess the very same cause the same weekend! So after Adelaide's loss on Sunday it's opportunity to check the scores for the Saints' activity and-ah. Straight. Don't bother. Of what it costs the Crows most likely weren't like the scoreboard proposed, obtaining belted in the competition by a less-than-impressive Geelong midfield, so they were actually both wanting. Allow's see if either group may play looter over the final 3 full weeks - the Saints could possibly destroy Carlton or even Geelong's period, while the Crows might hurt the Canines yet additional significantly would enjoy to mess up Slot's. Riewoldt covers Dusty's famous job|04:1316. WEST SHORE BALD EAGLES (4-16, 70%) Last week: Placed 18th, def Gold Coastline by 10 ptsThis full week: North Melbourne at Blundstone Stadium, Sunday 1:45 pm17. NORTH MELBOURNE (3-17, 67%) Last week: Positioned 17th, def Richmond by 16 ptsThis week: West Shoreline Eagles at Blundstone Field, Sunday 1:45 pm18. RICHMOND (2-18, 64.7%) Recently: Ranked 16th, lost to North Melbourne by 16 ptsThis full week: Street Kilda at Wonder Arena, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, the two-week Spoonbowl is actually probably over, along with Richmond really deserving the win over North - they gained the game on expected score, off the back of 60 inside 50s to 44 - but booting themselves in to the No. 1 choice. (Which is actually perhaps for the very best long-lasting.) Though to be fair, it is actually possible the Kangaroos have actually grasped goalkicking, given they are actually No. 1 in the AFL for accuracy this year. West Coastline in the meantime was actually correctly excellent against a team having fun for it season, along with a season-high stress ranking and their third-best objected to things succeed for the year. Considering that Jarrad Schofield took control of the Eagles have gone coming from 17th in the AFL for stress to eighth, which is a respectable sign they're playing for him. Right now all eyes look to North's effort to finish outside all-time low pair of for the very first time this years - while it would still go down to percent, they 'd reside in a great position with a succeed in Hobart.
