Perpetuity AEST.Adams to potentially miss an additional GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To participate in: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Saturday 7:40 pmWin or even Miss: Finish 1stAnalysis: There are actually no realistic scenarios where the Swans crash to win the slight premiership. There are actually impractical ones, though! A 100-point loss, while Slot Adelaide trumps Fremantle through 100 factors, would certainly carry out it.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and also end up 1st, bunch Geelong in a qualifying final2. SLOT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To participate in: Fremantle at Optus Stadium, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Complete second if GWS sheds OR triumphes and also doesn't compose 7-8 target percent space, 3rd if GWS victories and also composes 7-8 objective portion gapLose: Complete 2nd if GWS loses (and Port may not be defeated by 7-8 objectives more than the Giants), 3rd if GWS gains, 4th in quite extremely unlikely instance Geelong succeeds and also makes up huge percent gapAnalysis: The Energy is going to have the advantage of understanding their particular circumstance moving into their ultimate activity, though there is actually a very genuine chance they'll be actually basically secured into 2nd. And in either case they're going to be playing in the Second Qualifying Final. Their amount bait GWS is roughly 7-8 objectives, as well as on Geelong it's closer to twenty, so they are actually probably not acquiring captured by the Pet cats. For that reason if the Giants win, the Power will certainly need to succeed to lock up second place - but as long as they do not get thrashed through a desperate Dockers edge, percent should not be actually an issue. (If they win through a couple of goals, GWS would certainly need to gain through 10 goals to capture all of them, and so on) Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain and finish second, bunch GWS in a qualifying final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To participate in: Western Bulldogs at Mars Arena, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete second if Port Adelaide sheds OR success but quits 7-8 target lead on percent, 3rd if Port Adelaide wins and also holds percentage leadLose: Complete second if Port Adelaide is beaten by 7-8 goals greater than they are actually, third if Slot Adelaide gains OR sheds yet holds percent top and also Geelong sheds OR wins and also does not make up 10-goal percent void, fourth if Geelong success and also comprises 10-goal portion gapAnalysis: They're secured into the leading four, as well as are most likely playing in the second vs third training final, though Geelong undoubtedly understands exactly how to whip West Shoreline at GMHBA Coliseum. That is actually the only method the Giants would drop out of participating in Port Adelaide a gigantic win due to the Felines on Sunday (our team're chatting 10+ goals) and then a Giants reduction to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Pussy-cats do not win large (or succeed whatsoever), the Giants will certainly be actually betting holding legal rights to the 2nd Qualifying Final. They may either make up a 7-8 objective void in portion to pass Slot Adelaide, or even just hope Freo beats them.Fox Footy's prediction: Drop and end up 3rd, away to Port Adelaide in a training finalZach Tuohy details choice to retire|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To play: West Coastline Eagles at GMHBA Arena, Saturday 1:45 pmWin: Finish 3rd if GWS loses as well as surrenders 10-goal amount lead, 4th if GWS gains OR sheds but keeps percent top (fringe situation they can easily achieve 2nd with substantial win) Lose: End Up fourth if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and Carlton shed, 5th if three shed, sixth if two lose, 7th if one loses, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they definitely turned that one up. From resembling they were going to develop amount and also lock up a top-four place, now the Pet cats need to have to gain only to assure on their own the dual odds, with four teams hoping they lose to West Shoreline so they can squeeze 4th coming from them. On the bonus side, this is actually the most askew competition in contemporary footy, along with the Eagles dropping 9 direct journeys to Kardinia Park through approximately 10+ targets. It's certainly not unrealistic to visualize the Felines gaining through that margin, and also in blend with even a narrow GWS reduction, they 'd be moving in to an away training last vs Slot Adelaide (for the third time in 5 times!). Or else a gain need to send all of them to the SCG. If the Pet cats actually shed, they are going to likely be actually delivered right into a removal ultimate on our predictions, all the way down to 8th! Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and finish fourth, away to Sydney in a qualifying final5. BRISBANE LIONS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To play: Essendon at the Gabba, Saturday 7:30 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong drops, fifth if Geelong winsLose: End up 5th if Western side Bulldogs drop as well as Hawthorn drop as well as Carlton shed AND Fremantle drop OR win but fail to overcome very large percentage gap, sixth if three of those happen, 7th if pair of occur, 8th if one happens, skip finals if none happenAnalysis: Certainly not just did they cop an additional painful loss to the Pies, however they acquired the wrong staff above all of them shedding! If the Lions were actually going into Shot 24 expecting Port or GWS to shed, they will still possess a true chance at the best 4, however surely Geelong doesn't drop at home to West Shore? Just as long as the Pet cats do the job, the Lions should be actually tied for an elimination ultimate. Defeating the Bombing planes would after that guarantee them 5th location (and that's the edge of the brace you yearn for, if it suggests staying clear of the Bulldogs and Hawks in full week one, as well as likely acquiring Geelong in full week pair of). A shock loss to Essendon would certainly view Chris Fagan's edge nervously seeing on Sunday to find how many staffs pass them ... theoretically they might miss the 8 completely, but it is very unlikely for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Succeed as well as finish 5th, multitude Carlton in an eradication finalSelfish Lions caught rejecting allies|01:046. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To play: GWS Giants at Mars Stadium, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong and Brisbane shed, fifth if one sheds, 6th if each winLose: End up sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton and Fremantle lose, 7th if pair of lose, 8th if one sheds, skip finals if they all winAnalysis: Annoyingly for the Bulldogs, they can easily still overlook the 8, even with possessing the AFL's second-best percent as well as thirteen triumphes (which nobody has actually EVER overlooked the eight along with). In reality it's a really actual opportunity - they still need to have to function against an in-form GWS to assure their place in September. Yet that's not the only factor at stake the Canines will ensure themselves a home final along with a success (likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), however even though they stay in the eight after shedding, they could be heading to Brisbane for that elimination ultimate. At the other end of the spectrum, there's still a small opportunity they may sneak in to the top 4, though it requires West Shore to beat Geelong in Geelong, and Essendon to beat Brisbane in Brisbane ... therefore a very small odds. Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and also end up 6th, 'host' Hawthorn in an eradication final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To participate in: North Melbourne at UTAS Coliseum, Saturday 4:35 pmWin: End up 4th if Geelong, Brisbane as well as Western Bulldogs all lose as well as Carlton sheds OR success but goes under to surpass them on percentage (approx. 4 targets) fifth if three occur, sixth if 2 take place, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Fremantle drops and also Carlton drops while staying behind on amount, 8th if one loses, skip finals if both winAnalysis: Our team would rather be actually the Hawks than the Bulldogs at the moment, as a result of that they've acquired delegated to deal with. Sam Mitchell's men are a gain off of September, as well as simply need to perform against an injury-hit N. Melbourne who appeared horrendous versus pointed out Pet dogs on Sunday. There is actually even a quite long shot they slip into the leading four additional reasonably they'll get on their own an MCG eradication final, either against the Pets, Freo or even Carlton. (The best-case case is probably the Dogs dropping, so the Hawks end up 6th and also participate in cry.) If they're outplayed by North though, they're just like frightened as the Dogs, waiting on Carlton as well as Fremantle to observe if they are actually evicted of the eight.Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain and also end up 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in an eradication finalMagic of Hok-ball explained|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To participate in: Street Kilda at Wonder Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Finish 4th if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and also Hawthorn all drop OR Hawks win but fall back Blues on amount (approx. 4 targets), 5th if three happen, 6th if two happen, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Hawthorn sheds by enough to fall back on percent and also Fremantle loses, 8th if one happens, typically overlook finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home condition really aided all of them out this weekend. Fremantle's reduction, incorporated with the Blues' draw West Shore, observes them inside the eight as well as also able to play finals if they're upset by St Kilda next week. (Though they 'd be left wishing Port to defeat Freo.) Reasonably they are actually going to would like to beat the Saints to assure on their own a spot in September - as well as to offer on their own an odds of an MCG eradication ultimate. If both the Canines as well as Hawks drop, cry might also host that ultimate, though our team 'd be fairly stunned if the Hawks lost. Portion is actually likely to find in to play thanks to Carlton's huge gain West Coast - they may need to have to pump the Saints to stay clear of participating in Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's forecast: Win as well as end up 8th, away to Brisbane in a removal final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To play: Slot Adelaide at Optus Arena, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish 6th if Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and also Carlton lose, 7th if 2 lose, 8th if one sheds, miss finals if each of all of them winLose: Will certainly skip finalsAnalysis: Oh terrific, an additional cause to loathe West Coastline. Their rivals' lack of ability to beat the Blues' B-team indicates the Dockers go to real threat of their Round 24 activity ending up being a dead rubber. The equation is fairly basic - they need a minimum of some of the Pet dogs, Hawks or even Blues to drop prior to they play Slot. If that happens, the Dockers may win their means right into September. If all three succeed, they'll be actually done away with by the opportunity they get the area. (Technically Freo can easily likewise record Brisbane on percentage but it is actually exceptionally not likely.) Fox Footy's forecast: Lose and also overlook finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood may technically still participate in finals, but requires to comprise a percent void of 30+ targets to catch Carlton, plus Fremantle must shed.
