All times AEST.Adams to potentially miss yet another GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To participate in: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Sunday 7:40 pmWin or Miss: End Up 1stAnalysis: There are no reasonable situations where the Swans fail to gain the minor premiership. There are outlandish ones, though! A 100-point reduction, while Slot Adelaide defeats Fremantle through one hundred points, would certainly do it.Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain and also finish 1st, host Geelong in a certifying final2. PORT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To participate in: Fremantle at Optus Arena, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish second if GWS sheds OR success and also does not comprise 7-8 objective percentage gap, 3rd if GWS victories and also comprises 7-8 objective percentage gapLose: Complete 2nd if GWS sheds (as well as Slot may not be trumped by 7-8 objectives greater than the Giants), third if GWS wins, 4th in extremely improbable circumstance Geelong succeeds and also makes up extensive percentage gapAnalysis: The Power is going to possess the perk of recognizing their precise instance heading right into their ultimate activity, though there's an incredibly genuine opportunity they'll be actually basically latched right into second. And regardless they are actually visiting be playing in the 2nd Qualifying Final. Their amount bait GWS is roughly 7-8 objectives, and on Geelong it's closer to twenty, so they're perhaps certainly not obtaining captured by the Kitties. Consequently if the Giants gain, the Energy will certainly need to have to win to secure 2nd place - but just as long as they don't acquire whipped by a despairing Dockers edge, percent should not be a trouble. (If they gain by a number of objectives, GWS will need to succeed through 10 targets to record all of them, and so on) Fox Footy's prediction: Win and also finish second, host GWS in a certifying final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To participate in: Western Bulldogs at Mars Coliseum, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete second if Port Adelaide sheds OR victories however loses hope 7-8 target bait percent, 3rd if Port Adelaide succeeds and holds percentage leadLose: Complete second if Slot Adelaide is actually defeated by 7-8 targets more than they are actually, 3rd if Port Adelaide wins OR drops however keeps percentage lead AND Geelong sheds OR success and doesn't comprise 10-goal amount gap, fourth if Geelong success and also composes 10-goal percentage gapAnalysis: They are actually latched in to the leading four, and also are most likely playing in the second vs third qualifying last, though Geelong certainly knows how to punish West Shoreline at GMHBA Coliseum. That's the only way the Giants would certainly leave of playing Slot Adelaide a massive succeed due to the Felines on Sunday (our team're chatting 10+ goals) and then a Giants loss to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Pussy-cats don't succeed huge (or even gain in any way), the Giants will definitely be actually betting holding rights to the 2nd Qualifying Final. They may either comprise a 7-8 objective void in percent to pass Slot Adelaide, or even just really hope Freo defeats them.Fox Footy's prediction: Drop and end up 3rd, away to Slot Adelaide in a training finalZach Tuohy reveals selection to retire|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To participate in: West Shoreline Eagles at GMHBA Arena, Sunday 1:45 pmWin: Finish third if GWS sheds as well as quits 10-goal amount lead, 4th if GWS gains OR sheds however keeps percent lead (fringe situation they can meet 2nd with substantial win) Lose: Complete 4th if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and Carlton shed, fifth if 3 lose, 6th if pair of shed, 7th if one drops, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they truly turned that a person up. From seeming like they were mosting likely to create portion and also lock up a top-four spot, now the Cats need to gain simply to guarantee on their own the dual chance, along with four groups wishing they lose to West Shoreline so they can easily pinch 4th coming from all of them. On the bonus edge, this is actually one of the most uneven competition in present day footy, with the Eagles shedding 9 straight journeys to Kardinia Playground through around 10+ goals. It's certainly not impractical to imagine the Pussy-cats succeeding by that scope, and also in blend with also a slim GWS reduction, they 'd be actually moving right into an away certifying ultimate vs Slot Adelaide (for the 3rd time in five times!). Otherwise a succeed need to send all of them to the SCG. If the Felines really lose, they will certainly easily be sent out right into a removal last on our predictions, all the way down to 8th! Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and complete 4th, away to Sydney in a certifying final5. BRISBANE COUGARS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To play: Essendon at the Gabba, Sunday 7:30 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong loses, fifth if Geelong winsLose: Complete fifth if Western side Bulldogs shed as well as Hawthorn lose and also Carlton drop AND Fremantle lose OR win yet go under to get over very large percentage void, sixth if three of those happen, 7th if two occur, 8th if one occurs, miss out on finals if none happenAnalysis: Certainly not only did they cop an additional painful reduction to the Pies, but they got the wrong staff above them dropping! If the Lions were actually entering Round 24 hoping for Slot or GWS to shed, they would certainly still possess an actual shot at the best 4, however surely Geelong does not lose in the home to West Coast? As long as the Pet cats get the job done, the Cougars ought to be actually tied for an elimination ultimate. Defeating the Bombers will after that assure all of them 5th spot (and also is actually the side of the bracket you prefer, if it suggests preventing the Bulldogs and Hawks in full week one, as well as very likely getting Geelong in full week two). A surprise reduction to Essendon would observe Chris Fagan's side nervously watching on Sunday to find the number of crews pass all of them ... theoretically they might skip the eight completely, however it is actually very unlikely for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and also finish 5th, lot Carlton in an elimination finalSelfish Lions recorded avoiding colleagues|01:046. WESTERN BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To participate in: GWS Giants at Mars Arena, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: End up fourth if Geelong and Brisbane drop, 5th if one drops, 6th if both winLose: Finish sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton as well as Fremantle lose, 7th if two lose, 8th if one drops, overlook finals if they all winAnalysis: Annoyingly for the Bulldogs, they may still miss out on the eight, in spite of possessing the AFL's second-best percent as well as thirteen wins (which nobody has EVER missed out on the 8 along with). In reality it is actually an extremely actual probability - they still require to perform versus an in-form GWS to ensure their spot in September. But that's not the only trait at stake the Pets would assure on their own a home final with a triumph (likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), yet even if they remain in the 8 after dropping, they might be moving to Brisbane for that eradication last. At the various other edge of the sphere, there's still a small chance they may slip in to the top 4, though it requires West Coastline to beat Geelong in Geelong, and Essendon to trump Brisbane in Brisbane ... therefore a very small odds. Fox Footy's forecast: Win and end up sixth, 'hold' Hawthorn in an elimination final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To play: North Melbourne at UTAS Coliseum, Sunday 4:35 pmWin: End up 4th if Geelong, Brisbane as well as Western Bulldogs all lose as well as Carlton drops OR wins yet fails to overtake all of them on percent (approx. 4 targets) 5th if 3 take place, sixth if pair of occur, 7th if one happens, 8th if none happenLose: Complete 7th if Fremantle loses AND Carlton sheds while staying overdue on portion, 8th if one drops, overlook finals if both winAnalysis: Our company would rather be actually the Hawks than the Bulldogs at the moment, as a result of that they have actually acquired entrusted to experience. Sam Mitchell's males are actually a win far from September, as well as merely require to function versus an injury-hit N. Melbourne who looked horrible versus pointed out Dogs on Sunday. There is actually also a quite long shot they slip in to the best 4 more realistically they'll gain on their own an MCG removal ultimate, either versus the Pets, Freo or Carlton. (The best-case situation is possibly the Pets shedding, so the Hawks complete 6th and also play cry.) If they're outplayed through North though, they are actually equally frightened as the Dogs, waiting on Carlton and also Fremantle to find if they are actually tossed out of the eight.Fox Footy's forecast: Gain as well as finish 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in an elimination finalMagic of Hok-ball clarified|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To play: Street Kilda at Marvel Arena, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and also Hawthorn all lose OR Hawks gain but fall behind Woes on percentage (approx. 4 goals), fifth if 3 occur, sixth if two happen, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Hawthorn drops by good enough to fall back on percentage and also Fremantle loses, 8th if one occurs, otherwise overlook finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home state truly assisted them out this weekend. Fremantle's loss, mixed along with cry' win over West Coast, observes all of them inside the eight as well as even able to play finals if they are actually upset through Street Kilda upcoming full week. (Though they will be left wishing Port to trump Freo.) Truthfully they're heading to want to defeat the Saints to ensure themselves an area in September - as well as to offer on their own a chance of an MCG elimination final. If both the Pets and also Hawks lose, the Blues could possibly even hold that last, though our team would certainly be actually pretty stunned if the Hawks shed. Percentage is actually very likely to come in to play with the help of Carlton's huge get West Shore - they may require to push the Saints to stay clear of participating in Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's forecast: Gain as well as finish 8th, away to Brisbane in a removal final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To play: Slot Adelaide at Optus Arena, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: End up sixth if Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton lose, 7th if two shed, 8th if one drops, overlook finals if all of all of them winLose: Will definitely miss finalsAnalysis: Oh terrific, yet another factor to loathe West Coast. Their opponents' incapability to beat the Blues' B-team means the Dockers go to actual danger of their Sphere 24 game coming to be a dead rubber. The equation is fairly easy - they need to have a minimum of among the Dogs, Hawks or Woes to lose prior to they play Port. If that happens, the Dockers may win their technique in to September. If all 3 win, they'll be dealt with due to the time they take the area. (Technically Freo can easily additionally capture Brisbane on percentage yet it is actually incredibly unexpected.) Fox Footy's prediction: Shed as well as miss out on finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood may theoretically still participate in finals, however needs to have to make up a portion void of 30+ targets to catch Carlton, plus Fremantle needs to drop.
