All times AEST.Adams to potentially skip yet another GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To play: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Saturday 7:40 pmWin or even Miss: Finish 1stAnalysis: There are no sensible instances where the Swans crash to gain the small premiership. There are actually impractical ones, though! A 100-point reduction, while Port Adelaide beats Fremantle through 100 points, would perform it.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain as well as complete first, lot Geelong in a training final2. SLOT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To participate in: Fremantle at Optus Stadium, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: End up second if GWS loses OR victories as well as does not comprise 7-8 target portion space, 3rd if GWS wins and also makes up 7-8 target percentage gapLose: Finish 2nd if GWS drops (and Slot aren't trumped by 7-8 goals more than the Giants), third if GWS wins, fourth in incredibly extremely unlikely instance Geelong succeeds and makes up massive percent gapAnalysis: The Electrical power is going to have the benefit of recognizing their particular situation moving in to their ultimate game, though there's an extremely actual possibility they'll be actually basically secured into 2nd. As well as regardless they're visiting be playing in the Second Qualifying Final. Their percent bait GWS is actually roughly 7-8 objectives, as well as on Geelong it's closer to 20, so they are actually perhaps not obtaining captured by the Cats. For that reason if the Giants win, the Electrical power will require to win to lock up 2nd location - but provided that they do not receive punished through a determined Dockers side, amount shouldn't be actually a trouble. (If they succeed through a couple of goals, GWS will need to have to gain by 10 goals to capture all of them, and so on) Fox Footy's forecast: Succeed as well as end up 2nd, lot GWS in a training final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To play: Western Bulldogs at Mars Arena, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete second if Slot Adelaide drops OR wins but loses hope 7-8 goal bait portion, 3rd if Slot Adelaide wins and holds percentage leadLose: Complete second if Port Adelaide is defeated by 7-8 goals more than they are, third if Slot Adelaide succeeds OR loses however holds amount lead AND Geelong sheds OR triumphes and also doesn't make up 10-goal portion space, 4th if Geelong success as well as composes 10-goal percent gapAnalysis: They're locked into the best four, and are actually most likely having fun in the 2nd vs 3rd training ultimate, though Geelong surely recognizes how to surge West Shore at GMHBA Stadium. That's the only method the Giants would certainly leave of playing Port Adelaide an extensive win due to the Pet cats on Sunday (our experts are actually talking 10+ objectives) and afterwards a Giants reduction to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Felines do not succeed major (or even succeed whatsoever), the Giants will definitely be actually betting hosting rights to the Second Qualifying Final. They may either comprise a 7-8 target void in percent to pass Slot Adelaide, or even simply wish Freo defeats them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Shed and also complete 3rd, away to Slot Adelaide in a training finalZach Tuohy clarifies decision to resign|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To participate in: West Shore Eagles at GMHBA Stadium, Saturday 1:45 pmWin: Finish 3rd if GWS loses and also surrenders 10-goal amount lead, 4th if GWS gains OR loses however holds onto percent lead (fringe circumstance they may reach second with substantial win) Lose: Complete 4th if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and also Carlton shed, fifth if 3 drop, sixth if pair of lose, 7th if one loses, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they really turned that one up. From resembling they were actually heading to create percentage and lock up a top-four location, now the Pussy-cats need to win simply to assure on their own the double odds, with 4 teams wishing they drop to West Shoreline so they can squeeze 4th coming from them. On the plus edge, this is the absolute most unequal competition in present day footy, with the Eagles dropping nine straight travels to Kardinia Playground by approximately 10+ goals. It's not unrealistic to imagine the Pussy-cats gaining through that scope, as well as in blend with also a slim GWS loss, they will be actually heading into an away certifying ultimate vs Port Adelaide (for the third attend five periods!). Otherwise a win ought to deliver all of them to the SCG. If the Pussy-cats really lose, they will possibly be actually delivered right into an eradication final on our forecasts, completely up to 8th! Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and also complete 4th, away to Sydney in a training final5. BRISBANE LIONS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To play: Essendon at the Gabba, Sunday 7:30 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong sheds, 5th if Geelong winsLose: Finish fifth if Western Bulldogs shed AND Hawthorn shed AND Carlton shed as well as Fremantle shed OR win but go bust to eliminate huge percent void, sixth if three of those occur, 7th if 2 take place, 8th if one takes place, miss out on finals if none happenAnalysis: Certainly not simply did they police officer an additional unpleasant reduction to the Pies, yet they obtained the wrong staff above all of them losing! If the Lions were entering Round 24 hoping for Port or GWS to shed, they 'd still possess a true chance at the top four, but absolutely Geelong does not shed at home to West Coastline? So long as the Kitties get the job done, the Cougars must be actually bound for a removal final. Defeating the Bombing planes will then ensure all of them 5th location (and that's the side of the brace you really want, if it means staying away from the Bulldogs and Hawks in week one, and probably obtaining Geelong in week two). A shock loss to Essendon would certainly see Chris Fagan's side nervously enjoying on Sunday to find how many teams pass all of them ... practically they could miss out on the 8 completely, but it is actually really impractical for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain and complete 5th, lot Carlton in an eradication finalSelfish Lions caught steering clear of allies|01:046. WESTERN BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To play: GWS Giants at Mars Coliseum, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong and Brisbane shed, 5th if one drops, 6th if each winLose: End up sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton and also Fremantle lose, 7th if pair of lose, 8th if one sheds, overlook finals if they all winAnalysis: Annoyingly for the Bulldogs, they may still miss the 8, regardless of having the AFL's second-best portion and 13 success (which nobody has actually EVER missed the eight along with). As a matter of fact it's a really real possibility - they still need to have to function against an in-form GWS to guarantee their area in September. Yet that is actually not the only trait at risk the Pet dogs would certainly guarantee on their own a home ultimate along with a victory (likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), yet even when they keep in the 8 after shedding, they can be heading to Brisbane for that removal last. At the other edge of the range, there's still a small chance they can easily sneak in to the leading 4, though it demands West Coastline to beat Geelong in Geelong, and also Essendon to beat Brisbane in Brisbane ... thereby a small odds. Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain and also complete 6th, 'host' Hawthorn in a removal final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To play: North Melbourne at UTAS Stadium, Sunday 4:35 pmWin: End up fourth if Geelong, Brisbane and also Western Bulldogs all drop AND Carlton loses OR triumphes but fails to eclipse them on percentage (approx. 4 objectives) fifth if three happen, sixth if two take place, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Fremantle loses and also Carlton drops while remaining behind on percentage, 8th if one loses, miss out on finals if each winAnalysis: Our experts prefer to be the Hawks than the Bulldogs at this moment, as a result of who they have actually received left to experience. Sam Mitchell's guys are actually a gain away from September, as well as simply need to take care of business versus an injury-hit N. Melbourne that looked horrendous versus claimed Canines on Sunday. There's also a very long shot they creep into the leading 4 more realistically they'll gain themselves an MCG removal last, either against the Pets, Freo or even Carlton. (The best-case case is actually perhaps the Pet dogs shedding, so the Hawks end up sixth and also participate in the Blues.) If they're outplayed by North though, they're just as scared as the Dogs, awaiting Carlton as well as Fremantle to view if they're rejected of the eight.Fox Footy's prediction: Win as well as complete 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in an elimination finalMagic of Hok-ball discussed|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To participate in: St Kilda at Marvel Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: End up 4th if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and also Hawthorn all drop OR Hawks win however fall behind Blues on percentage (approx. 4 objectives), fifth if 3 take place, sixth if pair of occur, 7th if one happens, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Hawthorn loses by sufficient to fall behind on percentage and also Fremantle sheds, 8th if one occurs, typically overlook finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home condition really aided them out this weekend break. Fremantle's loss, blended along with the Blues' win over West Shore, views all of them inside the eight and also even able to participate in finals if they're upset through St Kilda upcoming full week. (Though they would certainly be left praying for Slot to defeat Freo.) Truthfully they are actually mosting likely to intend to defeat the Saints to assure on their own an area in September - and to give on their own an odds of an MCG elimination final. If both the Pets as well as Hawks lose, the Blues could possibly even host that last, though we would certainly be actually pretty shocked if the Hawks dropped. Portion is actually very likely to come right into play because of Carlton's massive draw West Shoreline - they may need to pump the Saints to stay away from participating in Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and finish 8th, away to Brisbane in an eradication final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To play: Slot Adelaide at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: End up sixth if Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and Carlton lose, 7th if two lose, 8th if one sheds, miss out on finals if all of them winLose: Will definitely overlook finalsAnalysis: Oh wonderful, yet another factor to dislike West Coastline. Their opponents' incapacity to defeat cry' B-team indicates the Dockers go to genuine risk of their Around 24 game becoming a dead rubber. The formula is rather easy - they need to have at least some of the Pets, Hawks or even Blues to lose just before they participate in Slot. If that occurs, the Dockers may succeed their way right into September. If all three succeed, they'll be eliminated due to the opportunity they get the area. (Technically Freo can likewise record Brisbane on percentage yet it's exceptionally improbable.) Fox Footy's forecast: Shed and overlook finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood may practically still play finals, but requires to make up a portion void of 30+ objectives to record Carlton, plus Fremantle needs to lose.
