All times AEST.Adams to potentially overlook yet another GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To participate in: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Sunday 7:40 pmWin or even Lose: End Up 1stAnalysis: There are actually no sensible circumstances where the Swans go under to gain the minor premiership. There are unrealistic ones, though! A 100-point loss, while Port Adelaide defeats Fremantle by 100 aspects, would perform it.Fox Footy's forecast: Gain as well as end up 1st, host Geelong in a qualifying final2. SLOT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To participate in: Fremantle at Optus Arena, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish 2nd if GWS drops OR victories and does not comprise 7-8 objective percent gap, 3rd if GWS success as well as comprises 7-8 goal percent gapLose: End up 2nd if GWS drops (as well as Port may not be trumped by 7-8 goals much more than the Giants), 3rd if GWS succeeds, 4th in very extremely unlikely situation Geelong gains as well as composes substantial percent gapAnalysis: The Power will certainly possess the perk of understanding their specific case moving right into their last game, though there is actually a quite real odds they'll be pretty much secured in to 2nd. And also in either case they're mosting likely to be actually playing in the 2nd Qualifying Final. Their amount bait GWS is actually around 7-8 goals, and on Geelong it's closer to twenty, so they're most likely certainly not obtaining captured due to the Kitties. Therefore if the Giants win, the Power is going to require to win to secure second location - but so long as they do not obtain surged through a despairing Dockers side, amount shouldn't be a complication. (If they succeed by a couple of targets, GWS would certainly require to gain by 10 goals to capture all of them, and so on) Fox Footy's prophecy: Succeed and also complete 2nd, bunch GWS in a qualifying final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To participate in: Western Bulldogs at Mars Arena, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete second if Port Adelaide drops OR success but quits 7-8 objective lead on percentage, 3rd if Port Adelaide wins and also has portion leadLose: End up second if Slot Adelaide is trumped by 7-8 objectives greater than they are actually, 3rd if Port Adelaide wins OR sheds yet keeps amount top AND Geelong loses OR wins as well as does not comprise 10-goal portion gap, fourth if Geelong victories as well as composes 10-goal portion gapAnalysis: They're latched right into the top four, and also are actually probably having fun in the second vs 3rd training final, though Geelong absolutely knows just how to whip West Coast at GMHBA Arena. That's the only way the Giants will leave of playing Port Adelaide an extensive win by the Cats on Sunday (our team are actually speaking 10+ goals) and afterwards a Giants loss to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Pet cats don't win huge (or even succeed whatsoever), the Giants is going to be betting holding civil rights to the Second Qualifying Final. They can either compose a 7-8 target space in portion to pass Slot Adelaide, or just hope Freo defeats them.Fox Footy's prediction: Shed as well as finish 3rd, away to Port Adelaide in a certifying finalZach Tuohy explains choice to retire|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To participate in: West Coast Eagles at GMHBA Arena, Sunday 1:45 pmWin: Finish 3rd if GWS loses and quits 10-goal percent top, 4th if GWS wins OR drops yet keeps percentage lead (edge case they can easily achieve 2nd with large gain) Lose: Finish 4th if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton lose, 5th if three shed, sixth if two drop, 7th if one loses, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they definitely screwed that one up. Coming from resembling they were going to construct amount and also lock up a top-four area, now the Pussy-cats need to win simply to promise on their own the dual odds, along with four crews wishing they lose to West Coast so they can pinch 4th from them. On the in addition edge, this is actually one of the most uneven matchup in modern-day footy, along with the Eagles shedding 9 straight journeys to Kardinia Park through an average of 10+ targets. It is actually certainly not outlandish to visualize the Pussy-cats succeeding through that frame, and also in combination with even a narrow GWS reduction, they 'd be moving in to an away certifying final vs Slot Adelaide (for the 3rd attend 5 seasons!). Typically a succeed should send all of them to the SCG. If the Cats in fact drop, they are going to easily be sent in to an elimination last on our forecasts, right to 8th! Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and complete fourth, away to Sydney in a qualifying final5. BRISBANE COUGARS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To play: Essendon at the Gabba, Saturday 7:30 pmWin: End up fourth if Geelong drops, 5th if Geelong winsLose: Complete fifth if Western side Bulldogs drop and also Hawthorn shed AND Carlton drop as well as Fremantle lose OR win yet go under to get rid of large portion gap, 6th if 3 of those take place, 7th if pair of take place, 8th if one happens, skip finals if none happenAnalysis: Not merely performed they cop another excruciating reduction to the Pies, yet they received the incorrect staff above them losing! If the Lions were actually entering into Round 24 expecting Slot or even GWS to drop, they 'd still possess a genuine chance at the leading 4, but absolutely Geelong does not drop in the house to West Coast? So long as the Pet cats finish the job, the Cougars need to be tied for an elimination final. Trumping the Bombing planes would certainly then guarantee all of them 5th place (and that's the edge of the bracket you prefer, if it indicates steering clear of the Bulldogs and also Hawks in full week one, and probably obtaining Geelong in full week pair of). A shock reduction to Essendon would see Chris Fagan's side nervously checking out on Sunday to observe how many staffs pass all of them ... theoretically they might miss the 8 completely, however it is quite impractical for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Win as well as end up 5th, lot Carlton in an eradication finalSelfish Cougars caught 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 fourth if Geelong and also Brisbane shed, fifth if one drops, 6th if both winLose: Complete sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton and Fremantle lose, 7th if two lose, 8th if one loses, overlook finals if they all winAnalysis: Aggravatingly for the Bulldogs, they can still overlook the 8, regardless of having the AFL's second-best portion as well as thirteen wins (which nobody has EVER overlooked the eight with). In reality it is actually a very genuine probability - they still need to have to perform against an in-form GWS to ensure their place in September. But that's not the only thing at stake the Canines would certainly guarantee themselves a home last along with a triumph (probably at the MCG vs Hawthorn), however regardless of whether they stay in the 8 after losing, they might be heading to Brisbane for that elimination last. At the other end of the spectrum, there's still a little possibility they may creep into the leading four, though it demands West Coast to trump Geelong in Geelong, and Essendon to defeat Brisbane in Brisbane ... hence a small odds. Fox Footy's prophecy: Win as well as finish sixth, 'range' Hawthorn in a removal final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To play: North Melbourne at UTAS Stadium, Sunday 4:35 pmWin: Finish 4th if Geelong, Brisbane and also Western Bulldogs all lose as well as Carlton drops OR victories yet loses big to surpass all of them on amount (approx. 4 goals) 5th if three happen, 6th if two take place, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Fremantle loses and also Carlton loses while staying overdue on percent, 8th if one drops, overlook finals if each winAnalysis: We prefer to be actually the Hawks than the Bulldogs immediately, due to that they've obtained delegated encounter. Sam Mitchell's guys are a gain out of September, and also simply need to perform versus an injury-hit N. Melbourne who looked horrendous against pointed out Pet dogs on Sunday. There's even an incredibly small chance they creep into the best four more genuinely they'll earn themselves an MCG removal ultimate, either versus the Pet dogs, Freo or Carlton. (The best-case scenario is most likely the Canines dropping, so the Hawks finish 6th as well as play cry.) If they're upset through North though, they are actually just as terrified as the Pet dogs, waiting on Carlton as well as Fremantle to see if they are actually rejected of the eight.Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and also finish 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in an eradication finalMagic of Hok-ball explained|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To participate in: St Kilda at Wonder Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs as well as Hawthorn all drop OR Hawks win yet fall behind Woes on portion (approx. 4 objectives), 5th if three occur, sixth if two occur, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Hawthorn sheds by enough to fall behind on percent AND Fremantle drops, 8th if one takes place, otherwise miss out on finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home condition definitely assisted all of them out this weekend break. Fremantle's reduction, blended with cry' get West Coast, views all of them inside the eight as well as also able to participate in finals if they are actually outplayed through St Kilda upcoming week. (Though they would certainly be actually left behind wishing Port to beat Freo.) Truthfully they're mosting likely to would like to trump the Saints to ensure on their own a location in September - and also to provide on their own an opportunity of an MCG removal last. If both the Pets and also Hawks lose, the Blues can also organize that ultimate, though our company 'd be quite stunned if the Hawks dropped. Percentage is actually likely ahead right into play because of Carlton's massive draw West Shore - they might require to push the Saints to stay clear of playing 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: Port Adelaide at Optus Stadium, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish 6th if Western Side Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton shed, 7th if pair of lose, 8th if one drops, miss finals if all of them winLose: Will definitely miss out on finalsAnalysis: Oh wonderful, another reason to loathe West Shoreline. Their competitors' incapacity to beat the Blues' B-team indicates the Dockers go to actual risk of their Round 24 activity ending up being a lifeless rubber. The formula is quite basic - they need a minimum of among the Pet dogs, Hawks or even Woes to lose prior to they play Port. If that happens, the Dockers can easily gain their method right into September. If all three succeed, they'll be removed due to the time they get the area. (Technically Freo can likewise catch Brisbane on portion but it's extremely unlikely.) Fox Footy's prophecy: Drop as well as skip finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood can practically still participate in finals, yet requires to comprise a portion space of 30+ objectives to catch Carlton, plus Fremantle must shed.
