Perpetuity AEST.Adams to potentially miss one more GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To participate in: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Sunday 7:40 pmWin or Miss: Complete 1stAnalysis: There are actually no realistic cases where the Swans go under to win the small premiership. There are actually outlandish ones, though! A 100-point reduction, while Slot Adelaide defeats Fremantle through 100 aspects, would certainly carry out it.Fox Footy's forecast: Gain as well as finish 1st, bunch Geelong in a certifying final2. SLOT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To participate in: Fremantle at Optus Arena, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish 2nd if GWS sheds OR triumphes as well as does not compose 7-8 goal percent void, 3rd if GWS wins as well as composes 7-8 target portion gapLose: End up second if GWS loses (and also Slot may not be beaten by 7-8 goals much more than the Giants), third if GWS wins, 4th in very unexpected situation Geelong succeeds as well as comprises enormous portion gapAnalysis: The Power will certainly possess the advantage of understanding their particular case heading in to their last activity, though there's a really true chance they'll be virtually latched right into 2nd. And also either way they are actually mosting likely to be actually playing in the Second Qualifying Final. Their amount bait GWS is around 7-8 objectives, and also on Geelong it's closer to twenty, so they're probably not getting recorded due to the Pussy-cats. As a result if the Giants win, the Power is going to require to gain to secure second location - yet provided that they do not obtain thrashed through a determined Dockers side, portion shouldn't be actually a problem. (If they succeed by a number of objectives, GWS will require to win through 10 targets to catch all of them, etc) Fox Footy's forecast: Win as well as finish 2nd, host 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 Slot Adelaide sheds OR success however quits 7-8 objective bait portion, 3rd if Port Adelaide succeeds as well as keeps portion leadLose: Finish second if Slot Adelaide is actually defeated by 7-8 targets greater than they are, 3rd if Slot Adelaide succeeds OR loses yet has amount lead and also Geelong loses OR victories as well as doesn't compose 10-goal percent space, fourth if Geelong wins and also comprises 10-goal percentage gapAnalysis: They're latched right into the best 4, and also are most likely having fun in the second vs third training last, though Geelong certainly recognizes exactly how to punish West Coast at GMHBA Arena. That's the only way the Giants will drop out of participating in Slot Adelaide a substantial succeed due to the Pussy-cats on Sunday (we're chatting 10+ targets) and afterwards a Giants reduction to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Cats do not succeed large (or even gain in any way), the Giants is going to be actually playing for organizing civil liberties to the 2nd Qualifying Final. They may either comprise a 7-8 objective gap in amount to pass Slot Adelaide, or simply really hope Freo trumps them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Drop and finish 3rd, away to Slot Adelaide in a certifying finalZach Tuohy explains choice to resign|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To participate in: West Coast Eagles at GMHBA Coliseum, Sunday 1:45 pmWin: Complete 3rd if GWS loses and also gives up 10-goal percent lead, fourth if GWS wins OR drops yet keeps percentage top (fringe circumstance they can meet 2nd along with extensive gain) Lose: Finish fourth if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and Carlton drop, 5th if 3 drop, 6th if 2 shed, 7th if one loses, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they truly turned that one up. From looking like they were mosting likely to construct amount and lock up a top-four spot, today the Cats need to win merely to ensure on their own the double odds, along with 4 teams hoping they lose to West Shoreline so they can squeeze 4th coming from all of them. On the in addition side, this is one of the most unequal competition in present day footy, along with the Eagles dropping 9 direct trips to Kardinia Playground by an average of 10+ objectives. It is actually not unrealistic to think of the Kitties succeeding by that scope, and in mixture along with also a slender GWS loss, they would certainly be heading into an away qualifying final vs Port Adelaide (for the 3rd time in 5 seasons!). Typically a gain must send them to the SCG. If the Felines really drop, they will probably be sent in to an eradication last on our prophecies, completely up to 8th! Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain 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: Finish fourth if Geelong drops, fifth if Geelong winsLose: Finish 5th if Western side Bulldogs shed AND Hawthorn shed and also Carlton shed AND Fremantle lose OR gain however go under to beat large amount void, 6th if three of those occur, 7th if 2 take place, 8th if one occurs, miss finals if none happenAnalysis: Not merely did they police officer an additional very painful loss to the Pies, however they received the wrong crew over all of them losing! If the Lions were going into Round 24 anticipating Port or GWS to lose, they would certainly still possess a real chance at the leading four, however definitely Geelong does not lose in the home to West Coastline? So long as the Felines get the job done, the Lions should be actually bound for an eradication ultimate. Defeating the Bombers will after that promise all of them 5th place (and also's the side of the bracket you prefer, if it implies steering clear of the Bulldogs and also Hawks in week one, and also most likely obtaining Geelong in full week pair of). A surprise reduction to Essendon will observe Chris Fagan's side nervously enjoying on Sunday to find the amount of crews pass all of them ... technically they could possibly overlook the eight entirely, yet it is extremely impractical for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's forecast: Succeed as well as finish 5th, bunch Carlton in an eradication finalSelfish Cougars caught shunning colleagues|01:046. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To participate in: GWS Giants at Mars Stadium, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong and also Brisbane drop, 5th if one drops, sixth if both winLose: Complete sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton and Fremantle shed, 7th if 2 shed, 8th if one loses, miss out on finals if they all winAnalysis: Irritatingly for the Bulldogs, they can still miss out on the 8, regardless of having the AFL's second-best percent and 13 success (which no person has actually EVER skipped the 8 with). In reality it is actually a very real possibility - they still need to have to take care of business versus an in-form GWS to ensure their spot in September. Yet that is actually not the only factor at stake the Pets would ensure themselves a home final along with a success (most likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), but even though they remain in the eight after shedding, they may be moving to Brisbane for that removal ultimate. At the various other edge of the spectrum, there is actually still a tiny opportunity they can sneak in to the top four, though it requires West Shoreline to trump Geelong in Geelong, as well as Essendon to beat Brisbane in Brisbane ... therefore a little chance. Fox Footy's forecast: Gain as well as finish 6th, 'host' Hawthorn in a removal final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To participate in: North Melbourne at UTAS Stadium, Saturday 4:35 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong, Brisbane and Western Bulldogs all lose and also Carlton drops OR wins but crashes to surpass them on percentage (approx. 4 targets) 5th if three take place, sixth if two occur, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Fremantle drops AND Carlton sheds while keeping behind on percent, 8th if one loses, overlook finals if both winAnalysis: We prefer to be actually the Hawks than the Bulldogs immediately, as a result of who they have actually acquired delegated to encounter. Sam Mitchell's men are actually a succeed out of September, as well as only need to have to take care of business against an injury-hit Northern Melbourne who looked horrendous against said Pet dogs on Sunday. There is actually even a very small chance they creep right into the top 4 more realistically they'll make on their own an MCG elimination ultimate, either versus the Dogs, Freo or even Carlton. (The best-case circumstance is perhaps the Pet dogs losing, so the Hawks end up sixth and play cry.) If they are actually outplayed through North though, they are actually just like frightened as the Pets, waiting on Carlton and Fremantle to see if they are actually tossed out of the eight.Fox Footy's prediction: Win and also finish 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in an elimination finalMagic of Hok-ball discussed|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To participate in: Street Kilda at Marvel Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: End up 4th if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and Hawthorn all drop OR Hawks win yet fall behind Blues on percentage (approx. 4 objectives), 5th if 3 happen, sixth if two occur, 7th if one happens, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Hawthorn drops by enough to fall back on amount and also Fremantle drops, 8th if one happens, or else skip finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home state really aided them out this weekend. Fremantle's reduction, blended with the Blues' get West Shoreline, finds all of them inside the 8 and also also capable to play finals if they're outplayed through Street Kilda upcoming full week. (Though they will be actually left wishing Port to beat Freo.) Truthfully they are actually heading to want to trump the Saints to assure themselves a spot in September - as well as to give on their own an odds of an MCG elimination final. If both the Dogs as well as Hawks lose, the Blues can also throw that final, though our experts will be actually rather shocked if the Hawks lost. Percentage is most likely ahead in to play due to Carlton's significant draw West Shoreline - they might need to have to push the Saints to steer clear of playing Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's forecast: Gain as well as finish 8th, away to Brisbane in an elimination final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To play: Port Adelaide at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish sixth if Western Side Bulldogs, Hawthorn and also Carlton lose, 7th if 2 drop, 8th if one drops, overlook finals if each of them winLose: Will skip finalsAnalysis: Oh great, an additional cause to loathe West Coast. Their rivals' inability to defeat the Blues' B-team means the Dockers go to actual risk of their Sphere 24 activity becoming a dead rubber. The equation is actually rather straightforward - they need to have a minimum of among the Pets, Hawks or Woes to drop prior to they play Slot. If that occurs, the Dockers can easily gain their way in to September. If all three win, they'll be actually dealt with due to the time they get the field. (Technically Freo can additionally capture Brisbane on percent however it is actually very unexpected.) Fox Footy's prediction: Lose as well as miss finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood can technically still participate in finals, however needs to have to make up a percent void of 30+ objectives to record Carlton, plus Fremantle must shed.
