All times AEST.Adams to likely miss another GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To participate in: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Saturday 7:40 pmWin or Miss: End Up 1stAnalysis: There are actually no practical situations where the Swans crash to gain the slight premiership. There are actually unlikely ones, though! A 100-point loss, while Slot Adelaide trumps Fremantle by one hundred aspects, would perform it.Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain and complete first, multitude Geelong in a qualifying final2. PORT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To participate in: Fremantle at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: End up second if GWS drops OR victories as well as does not compose 7-8 target portion space, 3rd if GWS wins and also comprises 7-8 target portion gapLose: Complete second if GWS drops (and also Port aren't defeated through 7-8 objectives much more than the Giants), 3rd if GWS wins, fourth in really not likely situation Geelong succeeds and composes substantial percent gapAnalysis: The Energy will definitely possess the advantage of understanding their particular situation heading in to their ultimate activity, though there is actually an incredibly real opportunity they'll be practically secured into second. And also either way they're mosting likely to be actually playing in the 2nd Qualifying Final. Their amount bait GWS is actually approximately 7-8 goals, as well as on Geelong it's closer to 20, so they are actually possibly certainly not getting captured by the Cats. Therefore if the Giants win, the Electrical power is going to need to gain to lock up second location - but provided that they don't obtain whipped by a desperate Dockers side, percent shouldn't be actually a problem. (If they win by a couple of goals, GWS would certainly need to win through 10 goals to record all of them, and so on) Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain as well as finish 2nd, multitude GWS in a training final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To participate in: Western Bulldogs at Mars Stadium, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: End up second if Slot Adelaide drops OR success however gives up 7-8 objective lead on percentage, 3rd if Slot Adelaide wins and also keeps percent leadLose: Finish second if Port Adelaide is defeated through 7-8 objectives more than they are actually, 3rd if Port Adelaide succeeds OR loses however has percentage lead and also Geelong sheds OR wins and doesn't compose 10-goal percent space, fourth if Geelong triumphes and also comprises 10-goal portion gapAnalysis: They're latched right into the best 4, and are actually most likely having fun in the second vs third certifying ultimate, though Geelong absolutely knows how to whip West Shore at GMHBA Coliseum. That is actually the only way the Giants would drop out of playing Slot Adelaide a gigantic gain by the Felines on Saturday (our team're speaking 10+ targets) and after that a Giants loss to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Felines don't gain huge (or gain in any way), the Giants will definitely be actually betting hosting rights to the Second Qualifying Final. They may either compose a 7-8 goal space in portion to pass Slot Adelaide, or even simply wish Freo defeats them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Shed and end up 3rd, away to Slot Adelaide in a certifying finalZach Tuohy details choice to resign|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To participate in: West Shoreline Eagles at GMHBA Stadium, Sunday 1:45 pmWin: Complete 3rd if GWS loses and gives up 10-goal percentage lead, 4th if GWS gains OR drops but holds onto percentage top (edge instance they can easily achieve second with large win) Lose: End Up fourth if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and Carlton shed, 5th if three shed, 6th if 2 drop, 7th if one sheds, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they definitely tightened that up. From resembling they were visiting build percentage as well as secure a top-four area, today the Kitties require to succeed merely to promise on their own the dual opportunity, with 4 groups wishing they shed to West Coastline so they can easily pinch fourth from them. On the plus side, this is actually one of the most askew matchup in modern-day footy, with the Eagles losing 9 straight excursions to Kardinia Playground through an average of 10+ objectives. It's not unlikely to picture the Felines succeeding through that margin, and in combination along with also a slim GWS reduction, they would certainly be moving into an away training final vs Port Adelaide (for the third attend five times!). Otherwise a win ought to deliver all of them to the SCG. If the Pet cats really lose, they will certainly almost certainly be actually delivered right into a removal ultimate on our forecasts, completely down to 8th! Fox Footy's forecast: Win and also complete 4th, away to Sydney in a qualifying final5. BRISBANE COUGARS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To participate in: Essendon at the Gabba, Saturday 7:30 pmWin: End up 4th if Geelong drops, fifth if Geelong winsLose: Finish 5th if Western Bulldogs drop as well as Hawthorn lose AND Carlton lose AND Fremantle drop OR win yet crash to conquer huge percentage space, sixth if 3 of those occur, 7th if pair of happen, 8th if one occurs, overlook finals if none happenAnalysis: Not merely performed they cop yet another painful loss to the Pies, however they got the wrong group above them shedding! If the Lions were going into Round 24 wishing for Slot or GWS to shed, they would certainly still possess a true chance at the top four, yet definitely Geelong doesn't drop in the house to West Coastline? As long as the Cats finish the job, the Lions must be tied for a removal final. Beating the Bombing planes would certainly at that point assure all of them fifth area (and that is actually the side of the bracket you want, if it indicates avoiding the Bulldogs and also Hawks in full week one, and most likely getting Geelong in full week pair of). A shock reduction to Essendon would certainly find Chris Fagan's side nervously enjoying on Sunday to observe how many teams pass all of them ... theoretically they could miss the eight totally, yet it is really unlikely for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain as well as finish 5th, host Carlton in an eradication finalSelfish Lions caught shunning colleagues|01:046. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To play: GWS Giants at Mars Stadium, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Finish fourth if Geelong as well as Brisbane shed, fifth if one sheds, 6th if both winLose: Complete sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton as well as Fremantle lose, 7th if two drop, 8th if one loses, miss out on finals if they all winAnalysis: Irritatingly for the Bulldogs, they can easily still skip the 8, despite having the AFL's second-best percentage and thirteen wins (which no person has actually EVER missed out on the eight with). In fact it's a really true opportunity - they still need to perform versus an in-form GWS to promise their spot in September. But that's certainly not the only trait at risk the Pet dogs will ensure themselves a home ultimate along with a victory (probably at the MCG vs Hawthorn), however even though they stay in the eight after shedding, they might be heading to Brisbane for that eradication ultimate. At the other end of the range, there is actually still a very small chance they can easily sneak in to the leading four, though it demands West Shoreline to defeat Geelong in Geelong, and Essendon to trump Brisbane in Brisbane ... hence a very small opportunity. Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and finish sixth, 'hold' Hawthorn in an eradication final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To play: North Melbourne at UTAS Stadium, Saturday 4:35 pmWin: End up fourth if Geelong, Brisbane and Western Bulldogs all lose AND Carlton drops OR victories but crashes to surpass them on percent (approx. 4 goals) fifth if 3 occur, 6th if two occur, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: Complete 7th if Fremantle sheds as well as Carlton sheds while keeping overdue on percent, 8th if one drops, skip finals if both winAnalysis: Our company prefer to be the Hawks than the Bulldogs now, due to who they've obtained delegated deal with. Sam Mitchell's guys are a succeed off of September, and merely need to take care of business versus an injury-hit Northern Melbourne that looked terrible against mentioned Dogs on Sunday. There's even an incredibly small chance they creep right into the top 4 even more realistically they'll get themselves an MCG eradication final, either against the Pet dogs, Freo or even Carlton. (The best-case case is actually perhaps the Canines losing, so the Hawks finish sixth and play the Blues.) If they are actually upset by North though, they're just like frightened as the Dogs, expecting Carlton as well as Fremantle to view if they are actually kicked out of the eight.Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain and also finish 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in a removal finalMagic of Hok-ball described|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To participate in: St Kilda at Wonder Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: End up 4th if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and also Hawthorn all drop OR Hawks gain but fall back Woes on amount (approx. 4 objectives), fifth if 3 happen, 6th if two occur, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: Complete 7th if Hawthorn sheds through sufficient to fall behind on portion as well as Fremantle drops, 8th if one occurs, otherwise overlook finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home state really helped all of them out this weekend break. Fremantle's loss, combined with the Blues' draw West Shore, observes all of them inside the 8 and even able to participate in finals if they're upset through Street Kilda following full week. (Though they 'd be left behind praying for Slot to beat Freo.) Truthfully they are actually visiting intend to beat the Saints to ensure on their own a place in September - and also to offer on their own a possibility of an MCG eradication ultimate. If both the Pets as well as Hawks drop, the Blues can even organize that last, though our company will be actually pretty stunned if the Hawks lost. Portion is actually likely to find right into play due to Carlton's significant gain West Shore - they may require to pump the Saints to steer clear of participating in Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and also finish 8th, away to Brisbane in an eradication final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To play: Slot Adelaide at Optus Stadium, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Complete 6th if Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and Carlton lose, 7th if two shed, 8th if one sheds, miss out on finals if each one of all of them winLose: Will definitely miss finalsAnalysis: Oh terrific, an additional reason to despise West Coast. Their opponents' inability to trump the Blues' B-team suggests the Dockers go to real threat of their Sphere 24 video game ending up being a dead rubber. The equation is actually pretty basic - they require at the very least some of the Dogs, Hawks or Blues to shed just before they play Port. If that occurs, the Dockers can win their way right into September. If all three win, they'll be gotten rid of by the time they get the industry. (Technically Freo can additionally catch Brisbane on percent yet it is actually exceptionally unlikely.) Fox Footy's forecast: Lose and overlook finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood can technically still play finals, yet requires to make up an amount space of 30+ goals to catch Carlton, plus Fremantle must shed.
