All times AEST.Adams to potentially miss out on yet 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 no reasonable circumstances where the Swans lose big to gain the minor premiership. There are actually outlandish ones, though! A 100-point reduction, while Port Adelaide beats Fremantle through one hundred points, would carry out it.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and complete 1st, lot Geelong in a qualifying final2. PORT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To participate in: Fremantle at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: End up 2nd if GWS sheds OR victories and also doesn't compose 7-8 target amount void, 3rd if GWS success as well as comprises 7-8 goal amount gapLose: Finish 2nd if GWS loses (as well as Port aren't trumped by 7-8 targets greater than the Giants), 3rd if GWS succeeds, 4th in really extremely unlikely scenario Geelong wins and also composes huge portion gapAnalysis: The Power will have the advantage of understanding their specific case moving in to their final activity, though there is actually an extremely actual chance they'll be actually basically secured into 2nd. And also in either case they are actually mosting likely to be playing in the Second Qualifying Final. Their amount lead on GWS is actually approximately 7-8 objectives, as well as on Geelong it is actually closer to 20, so they are actually perhaps certainly not receiving caught by the Kitties. Therefore if the Giants succeed, the Electrical power will certainly need to have to gain to secure second spot - but as long as they don't get surged by a desperate Dockers edge, amount should not be actually a trouble. (If they succeed by a couple of targets, GWS will need to have to gain by 10 targets to capture all of them, and so on) Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and complete second, multitude GWS in a certifying final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To participate in: Western Bulldogs at Mars Coliseum, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Finish second if Port Adelaide drops OR victories however gives up 7-8 objective bait percent, 3rd if Port Adelaide gains and also has percent leadLose: Finish 2nd if Slot Adelaide is actually trumped through 7-8 goals greater than they are actually, 3rd if Slot Adelaide succeeds OR loses but has portion lead as well as Geelong loses OR victories and also does not compose 10-goal amount void, 4th if Geelong victories and also comprises 10-goal portion gapAnalysis: They are actually latched into the top four, as well as are probably having fun in the 2nd vs 3rd training final, though Geelong certainly understands exactly how to punish West Shoreline at GMHBA Arena. That's the only means the Giants will drop out of playing Port Adelaide a massive win due to the Pet cats on Sunday (we're chatting 10+ goals) and then a Giants reduction to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Felines do not succeed big (or even win whatsoever), the Giants will certainly be betting holding legal rights to the Second Qualifying Final. They can either make up a 7-8 goal void in amount to pass Slot Adelaide, or even just wish Freo defeats them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Lose as well as end up third, away to Port Adelaide in a certifying finalZach Tuohy details choice to resign|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To participate in: West Coast Eagles at GMHBA Coliseum, Sunday 1:45 pmWin: Finish 3rd if GWS loses and loses hope 10-goal percent lead, 4th if GWS wins OR loses but holds onto percent top (edge situation they can reach 2nd along with large gain) Lose: Finish 4th if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton shed, fifth if 3 shed, 6th if 2 drop, 7th if one drops, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they truly turned that up. From appearing like they were heading to create portion as well as lock up a top-four area, now the Pet cats need to succeed just to guarantee themselves the double odds, along with four staffs wishing they lose to West Shoreline so they can easily pinch 4th coming from them. On the plus side, this is actually one of the most unequal competition in modern-day footy, along with the Eagles losing 9 direct trips to Kardinia Playground through an average of 10+ targets. It's certainly not unrealistic to imagine the Pussy-cats succeeding through that margin, and also in blend with also a narrow GWS loss, they 'd be actually heading right into an away training last vs Port Adelaide (for the 3rd attend 5 seasons!). Otherwise a win must deliver all of them to the SCG. If the Pet cats really drop, they are going to easily be delivered right into an elimination final on our predictions, completely down to 8th! Fox Footy's prophecy: Win as well as complete fourth, away to Sydney in a certifying final5. BRISBANE COUGARS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To play: Essendon at the Gabba, Saturday 7:30 pmWin: End up 4th if Geelong loses, 5th if Geelong winsLose: End up 5th if Western side Bulldogs shed as well as Hawthorn drop AND Carlton drop and also Fremantle shed OR gain yet lose big to conquer huge percent gap, 6th if three of those occur, 7th if two occur, 8th if one occurs, miss out on finals if none happenAnalysis: Certainly not merely performed they police another painful reduction to the Pies, but they obtained the wrong team over all of them losing! If the Lions were entering Round 24 hoping for Slot or GWS to shed, they 'd still possess a true shot at the leading 4, but undoubtedly Geelong doesn't drop at home to West Coastline? Just as long as the Kitties finish the job, the Cougars should be tied for a removal final. Defeating the Bombers will after that promise them 5th spot (and also is actually the edge of the brace you wish, if it means staying away from the Bulldogs and also Hawks in week one, as well as very likely getting Geelong in week 2). A shock reduction to Essendon would view Chris Fagan's side nervously viewing on Sunday to see the amount of groups pass all of them ... theoretically they could skip the eight totally, but it is very outlandish for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's forecast: Win as well as complete 5th, multitude Carlton in an eradication finalSelfish Lions captured steering clear of colleagues|01:046. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To play: GWS Giants at Mars Stadium, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong as well as Brisbane drop, 5th if one loses, sixth if both winLose: End up sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton and Fremantle shed, 7th if pair of lose, 8th if one loses, miss finals if they all winAnalysis: Aggravatingly for the Bulldogs, they may still overlook the 8, even with possessing the AFL's second-best percentage as well as 13 victories (which nobody has actually ever before missed the eight along with). In reality it's an extremely true opportunity - they still need to have to perform versus an in-form GWS to promise their area in September. However that's not the only point at stake the Canines will guarantee themselves a home last with a success (very likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), yet regardless of whether they stay in the eight after shedding, they can be heading to Brisbane for that removal final. At the other end of the range, there's still a very small possibility they can creep right into the best 4, though it requires West Shoreline to trump Geelong in Geelong, and Essendon to defeat Brisbane in Brisbane ... thereby a little possibility. Fox Footy's prediction: Win as well as end up 6th, 'range' Hawthorn in an elimination final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To play: North Melbourne at UTAS Stadium, Saturday 4:35 pmWin: Finish fourth if Geelong, Brisbane as well as Western Bulldogs all drop and also Carlton sheds OR victories yet loses big to surpass them on percent (approx. 4 objectives) 5th if three take place, 6th if 2 take place, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Fremantle loses and also Carlton loses while keeping behind on portion, 8th if one loses, overlook finals if both winAnalysis: Our team would rather be actually the Hawks than the Bulldogs now, because of that they have actually got entrusted to face. Sam Mitchell's guys are a succeed off of September, and also simply need to have to perform against an injury-hit North Melbourne who looked awful against said Pet dogs on Sunday. There is actually even a quite small chance they creep in to the leading four additional genuinely they'll make on their own an MCG eradication last, either versus the Dogs, Freo or even Carlton. (The best-case circumstance is actually perhaps the Dogs shedding, so the Hawks finish 6th as well as play the Blues.) If they're outplayed through North though, they are actually equally as scared as the Canines, waiting on Carlton as well as Fremantle to see if they're evicted of the eight.Fox Footy's forecast: Gain as well as end up 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in an elimination finalMagic of Hok-ball clarified|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To participate in: Street Kilda at Wonder Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: End up 4th if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs as well as Hawthorn all lose OR Hawks gain but fall behind Woes on percentage (approx. 4 objectives), 5th if three take place, 6th if 2 occur, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: Complete 7th if Hawthorn loses through enough to fall back on percentage as well as Fremantle loses, 8th if one happens, or else miss out on finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home condition truly helped them out this weekend. Fremantle's reduction, incorporated with the Blues' get West Shoreline, finds them inside the 8 and also even able to play finals if they're outplayed through St Kilda following week. (Though they 'd be actually left behind praying for Port to trump Freo.) Genuinely they're mosting likely to wish to defeat the Saints to ensure on their own a place in September - as well as to offer on their own a chance of an MCG eradication ultimate. If both the Canines and Hawks lose, the Blues might even throw that ultimate, though our experts would certainly be pretty surprised if the Hawks dropped. Percentage is probably to come in to play thanks to Carlton's large sway West Coast - they might need to have to pump the Saints to prevent playing Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's forecast: Win and also complete 8th, away to Brisbane in an elimination final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To play: Slot Adelaide at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish 6th if Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton shed, 7th if pair of shed, 8th if one drops, overlook finals if all of them winLose: Will definitely miss finalsAnalysis: Oh wonderful, another reason to loathe West Shore. Their competitors' incapability to defeat cry' B-team implies the Dockers go to actual danger of their Round 24 video game becoming a dead rubber. The formula is pretty simple - they need to have at the very least among the Dogs, Hawks or Woes to shed before they play Port. If that takes place, the Dockers can succeed their method right into September. If all three gain, they'll be gotten rid of by the opportunity they take the industry. (Technically Freo can easily likewise record Brisbane on portion yet it's extremely unlikely.) Fox Footy's forecast: Lose as well as skip finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood can practically still play finals, yet requires to make up a percentage void of 30+ targets to capture Carlton, plus Fremantle has to lose.
