All times AEST.Adams to possibly miss yet another GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To play: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Saturday 7:40 pmWin or even Lose: Finish 1stAnalysis: There are no reasonable cases where the Swans fail to gain the slight premiership. There are outlandish ones, though! A 100-point loss, while Slot Adelaide beats Fremantle by one hundred factors, would carry out it.Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and also finish first, host Geelong in a certifying final2. SLOT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To participate in: Fremantle at Optus Stadium, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish second if GWS sheds OR wins and also does not compose 7-8 objective percentage space, 3rd if GWS triumphes and also composes 7-8 objective percentage gapLose: Finish 2nd if GWS drops (and also Port aren't defeated through 7-8 targets greater than the Giants), 3rd if GWS succeeds, fourth in incredibly improbable circumstance Geelong succeeds and also comprises enormous amount gapAnalysis: The Electrical power will possess the perk of knowing their precise scenario heading in to their final activity, though there's a quite genuine opportunity they'll be virtually secured right into second. And also in any case they're mosting likely to be actually playing in the 2nd Qualifying Final. Their percentage bait GWS is actually around 7-8 targets, and on Geelong it is actually closer to twenty, so they're perhaps certainly not acquiring captured due to the Felines. Consequently if the Giants succeed, the Power is going to need to gain to lock up second location - yet provided that they do not receive whipped through a determined Dockers edge, percent shouldn't be actually a complication. (If they gain through a couple of objectives, GWS would require to win by 10 goals to capture all of them, and so on) Fox Footy's forecast: Succeed and also end up 2nd, multitude GWS in a qualifying final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To participate in: Western Bulldogs at Mars Arena, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: End up second if Port Adelaide loses OR victories yet loses hope 7-8 goal bait percent, 3rd if Port Adelaide succeeds and keeps amount leadLose: Complete 2nd if Slot Adelaide is actually trumped by 7-8 goals much more than they are, third if Port Adelaide succeeds OR drops but keeps percentage top and also Geelong drops OR victories as well as does not make up 10-goal percent space, fourth if Geelong triumphes and composes 10-goal percentage gapAnalysis: They are actually locked into the leading four, and also are most likely having fun in the 2nd vs third certifying last, though Geelong definitely knows just how to punish West Shore at GMHBA Coliseum. That's the only way the Giants will drop out of participating in Port Adelaide a large succeed due to the Cats on Saturday (our team are actually chatting 10+ goals) and afterwards a Giants reduction to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Pet cats don't succeed huge (or even win in any way), the Giants is going to be actually betting hosting civil liberties to the Second Qualifying Final. They can either compose a 7-8 target gap in percentage to pass Slot Adelaide, or even only hope Freo beats them.Fox Footy's prediction: Drop and finish 3rd, away to Port Adelaide in a qualifying finalZach Tuohy discusses decision to retire|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To play: West Coast Eagles at GMHBA Arena, Sunday 1:45 pmWin: Complete 3rd if GWS drops and also loses hope 10-goal percent lead, 4th if GWS wins OR sheds however holds onto percentage lead (edge scenario they may achieve 2nd along with large win) Lose: Finish fourth if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton lose, 5th if three drop, 6th if 2 shed, 7th if one loses, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they really turned that a person up. From resembling they were actually going to create amount as well as lock up a top-four spot, right now the Pussy-cats need to have to gain merely to promise themselves the dual opportunity, along with 4 crews wishing they lose to West Coastline so they may squeeze 4th coming from all of them. On the in addition edge, this is actually the absolute most unequal match in modern footy, along with the Eagles dropping nine straight excursions to Kardinia Playground by approximately 10+ goals. It's not outlandish to imagine the Cats gaining by that margin, as well as in mix with even a slender GWS reduction, they 'd be moving into an away qualifying last vs Slot Adelaide (for the 3rd time in five periods!). Otherwise a succeed need to send all of them to the SCG. If the Pussy-cats actually lose, they are going to probably be actually delivered into an elimination ultimate on our predictions, completely up to 8th! Fox Footy's prediction: Gain as well as 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 fourth if Geelong drops, 5th if Geelong winsLose: End up fifth if Western Bulldogs shed AND Hawthorn shed as well as Carlton lose AND Fremantle drop OR gain yet go bust to overcome very large percentage void, 6th if three of those happen, 7th if pair of take place, 8th if one happens, skip finals if none happenAnalysis: Not only did they cop yet another agonizing loss to the Pies, yet they acquired the inappropriate staff above all of them shedding! If the Lions were entering into Shot 24 expecting Slot or even GWS to shed, they would certainly still possess a true shot at the leading four, however definitely Geelong does not lose in the home to West Coastline? Provided that the Pussy-cats do the job, the Cougars should be bound for a removal last. Trumping the Bombers would at that point guarantee them fifth area (which's the edge of the bracket you wish, if it implies avoiding the Bulldogs as well as Hawks in full week one, and likely obtaining Geelong in week pair of). A shock loss to Essendon would certainly see Chris Fagan's side nervously watching on Sunday to view how many crews pass them ... actually they could possibly skip the eight completely, but it is incredibly outlandish for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Succeed and also finish 5th, bunch Carlton in a removal finalSelfish Lions captured keeping away from teammates|01:046. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To play: GWS Giants at Mars Coliseum, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Finish fourth if Geelong and Brisbane shed, fifth if one drops, sixth if both winLose: End up sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton and also Fremantle drop, 7th if two shed, 8th if one sheds, overlook finals if they all winAnalysis: Aggravatingly for the Bulldogs, they can still skip the 8, in spite of having the AFL's second-best percent and 13 victories (which nobody has actually EVER missed the eight along with). In reality it is actually a quite actual option - they still require to take care of business against an in-form GWS to guarantee their area in September. Yet that is actually certainly not the only trait at risk the Pets would certainly ensure on their own a home ultimate along with a triumph (most likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), yet even when they keep in the eight after losing, they could be moving to Brisbane for that removal final. At the other edge of the sphere, there's still a little opportunity they may creep in to the top 4, though it calls for West Shoreline to trump Geelong in Geelong, and Essendon to trump Brisbane in Brisbane ... hence a small odds. Fox Footy's forecast: Win and end up sixth, 'range' Hawthorn in an eradication final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To participate in: North Melbourne at UTAS Coliseum, Saturday 4:35 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong, Brisbane and Western Bulldogs all drop as well as Carlton loses OR victories yet goes belly up to eclipse them on portion (approx. 4 targets) 5th if three happen, 6th if 2 take place, 7th if one happens, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Fremantle loses as well as Carlton sheds while remaining overdue on percent, 8th if one drops, skip finals if both winAnalysis: Our experts prefer to be actually the Hawks than the Bulldogs today, as a result of who they've acquired delegated deal with. Sam Mitchell's guys are actually a gain away from September, and only need to have to perform against an injury-hit N. Melbourne who appeared dreadful against said Dogs on Sunday. There is actually even an incredibly small chance they sneak right into the best 4 more reasonably they'll make themselves an MCG eradication last, either versus the Pet dogs, Freo or even Carlton. (The best-case scenario is actually probably the Canines losing, so the Hawks end up 6th and also participate in cry.) If they're outplayed by North though, they are actually just as intimidated as the Canines, waiting for Carlton as well as Fremantle to observe if they are actually evicted of the eight.Fox Footy's forecast: Win as well as end up 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in an eradication finalMagic of Hok-ball discussed|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To play: Street Kilda at Wonder Arena, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and Hawthorn all shed OR Hawks gain however fall behind Blues on percentage (approx. 4 goals), 5th if three occur, sixth if 2 happen, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Hawthorn sheds by enough to fall back on percent AND Fremantle sheds, 8th if one happens, typically miss finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home condition definitely helped all of them out this weekend. Fremantle's loss, mixed with cry' gain West Shoreline, observes all of them inside the 8 and even able to play finals if they are actually upset by St Kilda upcoming full week. (Though they 'd be left praying for Port to trump Freo.) Genuinely they're mosting likely to desire to defeat the Saints to guarantee on their own a place in September - and also to offer on their own an odds of an MCG elimination final. If both the Dogs as well as Hawks shed, the Blues might also organize that final, though our team 'd be actually pretty stunned if the Hawks lost. Percentage is actually likely to find in to play because of Carlton's significant sway West Coast - they may need to push the Saints to stay clear of playing Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's prophecy: Win as well as end up 8th, away to Brisbane in an eradication final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To play: Slot Adelaide at Optus Arena, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Complete sixth if Western Side Bulldogs, Hawthorn and also Carlton drop, 7th if two shed, 8th if one loses, skip finals if each of them winLose: Will miss finalsAnalysis: Oh wonderful, an additional reason to loathe West Shore. Their competitors' failure to beat cry' B-team indicates the Dockers are at real risk of their Round 24 activity becoming a lifeless rubber. The formula is actually quite easy - they need at the very least one of the Pet dogs, Hawks or Blues to shed just before they play Slot. If that occurs, the Dockers can succeed their technique right into September. If all three succeed, they'll be dealt with due to the time they take the industry. (Technically Freo can likewise capture Brisbane on percent however it's exceptionally unexpected.) Fox Footy's prophecy: Shed as well as miss out on finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood can theoretically still participate in finals, yet needs to have to comprise a percentage gap of 30+ objectives to record Carlton, plus Fremantle must lose.
