Perpetuity AEST.Adams to likely skip another GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To play: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Sunday 7:40 pmWin or even Miss: End Up 1stAnalysis: There are actually no practical scenarios where the Swans fail to win the slight premiership. There are outlandish ones, though! A 100-point reduction, while Port Adelaide trumps Fremantle through 100 aspects, would certainly carry out it.Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain and finish first, host Geelong in a qualifying final2. PORT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To play: Fremantle at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish 2nd if GWS sheds OR wins as well as does not make up 7-8 goal percent space, 3rd if GWS success as well as composes 7-8 objective portion gapLose: Complete second if GWS drops (and also Port may not be trumped through 7-8 goals much more than the Giants), third if GWS wins, 4th in incredibly unlikely situation Geelong gains as well as makes up massive amount gapAnalysis: The Power will definitely possess the perk of knowing their exact instance moving in to their final activity, though there is actually an extremely true possibility they'll be practically secured right into second. And either way they're visiting be actually playing in the Second Qualifying Final. Their amount lead on GWS is actually around 7-8 objectives, as well as on Geelong it's closer to 20, so they're perhaps certainly not receiving recorded by the Kitties. As a result if the Giants succeed, the Power will certainly need to succeed to secure second location - but just as long as they don't acquire whipped through a desperate Dockers edge, amount shouldn't be a problem. (If they succeed through a couple of goals, GWS would need to have to gain by 10 goals to catch them, and so on) Fox Footy's prediction: Win and complete second, host 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 2nd if Port Adelaide loses OR wins but gives up 7-8 objective bait percent, 3rd if Port Adelaide wins and has percent leadLose: Complete 2nd if Slot Adelaide is actually beaten through 7-8 objectives much more than they are, third if Port Adelaide wins OR sheds however keeps percent top AND Geelong sheds OR success and does not compose 10-goal amount space, 4th if Geelong success and makes up 10-goal amount gapAnalysis: They're secured into the top 4, as well as are most likely playing in the second vs 3rd certifying ultimate, though Geelong surely recognizes just how to thrash West Shore at GMHBA Coliseum. That is actually the only way the Giants will quit of participating in Port Adelaide a large win due to the Pussy-cats on Sunday (we're talking 10+ goals) and then a Giants loss to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Pet cats don't gain major (or win whatsoever), the Giants will definitely be actually betting organizing civil rights to the 2nd Qualifying Final. They can either compose a 7-8 objective void in percentage to pass Slot Adelaide, or merely hope Freo trumps them.Fox Footy's prediction: Lose and finish third, away to Slot Adelaide in a qualifying finalZach Tuohy reveals choice to retire|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To play: West Coast Eagles at GMHBA Coliseum, Saturday 1:45 pmWin: End up 3rd if GWS sheds and surrenders 10-goal amount lead, fourth if GWS wins OR drops however keeps portion lead (edge situation they can easily reach 2nd with massive win) Lose: End Up fourth if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton shed, fifth if three drop, 6th if pair of drop, 7th if one drops, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they really tightened that up. Coming from seeming like they were actually going to build percentage as well as lock up a top-four place, today the Felines need to have to succeed only to ensure on their own the dual possibility, along with four teams hoping they shed to West Shoreline so they can easily squeeze 4th coming from them. On the plus edge, this is actually the most lopsided matchup in contemporary footy, with the Eagles dropping 9 direct excursions to Kardinia Park by approximately 10+ targets. It is actually not unlikely to picture the Kitties succeeding by that margin, as well as in combination with even a slim GWS loss, they 'd be heading right into an away qualifying ultimate vs Port Adelaide (for the 3rd time in five times!). Or else a succeed ought to deliver them to the SCG. If the Pet cats actually drop, they will definitely likely be sent out right into a removal final on our predictions, all the way to 8th! Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and also finish 4th, away to Sydney in a qualifying final5. BRISBANE COUGARS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To participate in: Essendon at the Gabba, Sunday 7:30 pmWin: End up 4th if Geelong loses, fifth if Geelong winsLose: Complete 5th if Western Bulldogs drop and also Hawthorn shed AND Carlton lose as well as Fremantle drop OR win however go bust to eliminate large percent void, sixth if three of those take place, 7th if pair of occur, 8th if one happens, skip finals if none happenAnalysis: Not just performed they police officer yet another agonizing loss to the Pies, but they got the wrong team above them losing! If the Lions were actually entering into Shot 24 hoping for Slot or even GWS to shed, they 'd still have a real shot at the top 4, yet definitely Geelong doesn't drop in the home to West Shore? As long as the Kitties get the job done, the Lions must be actually tied for a removal ultimate. Beating the Bombing planes would certainly then ensure them 5th place (and also is actually the side of the bracket you want, if it implies staying clear of the Bulldogs as well as Hawks in week one, as well as most likely getting Geelong in week pair of). A shock loss to Essendon would observe Chris Fagan's side nervously viewing on Sunday to see the amount of crews pass all of them ... actually they might overlook the eight completely, however it is extremely outlandish for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Succeed and also finish 5th, host Carlton in an eradication finalSelfish Cougars captured rejecting teammates|01:046. WESTERN BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To play: GWS Giants at Mars Stadium, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Finish 4th if Geelong as well as Brisbane lose, fifth if one sheds, sixth if each winLose: Finish sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton as well as Fremantle lose, 7th if pair of shed, 8th if one sheds, overlook finals if they all winAnalysis: Irritatingly for the Bulldogs, they can easily still overlook the 8, even with having the AFL's second-best percent and also thirteen success (which no one has actually ever before missed the eight along with). Actually it's an incredibly genuine probability - they still need to function versus an in-form GWS to guarantee their location in September. But that is actually not the only trait at concern the Dogs would certainly ensure on their own a home last along with a triumph (likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), however even though they stay in the eight after dropping, they can be heading to Brisbane for that eradication ultimate. At the other edge of the spectrum, there's still a small odds they may creep in to the top four, though it calls for West Shore to defeat Geelong in Geelong, as well as Essendon to defeat Brisbane in Brisbane ... therefore a small possibility. Fox Footy's prediction: Gain as well as complete sixth, 'host' Hawthorn in an elimination final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To participate in: North Melbourne at UTAS Stadium, Sunday 4:35 pmWin: Finish fourth if Geelong, Brisbane as well as Western Bulldogs all shed AND Carlton loses OR victories however goes bust to surpass them on percentage (approx. 4 targets) fifth if three happen, 6th if 2 occur, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: Complete 7th if Fremantle loses AND Carlton drops while remaining overdue on percent, 8th if one drops, miss out on finals if each winAnalysis: Our company prefer to be the Hawks than the Bulldogs immediately, due to who they have actually received delegated face. Sam Mitchell's males are actually a gain out of September, and also merely need to have to perform versus an injury-hit North Melbourne that looked dreadful versus said Pet dogs on Sunday. There's even a quite small chance they slip into the best four even more realistically they'll make on their own an MCG eradication ultimate, either against the Dogs, Freo or even Carlton. (The best-case situation is most likely the Canines shedding, so the Hawks end up sixth as well as participate in cry.) If they are actually upset by North though, they are actually equally as frightened as the Pet dogs, expecting Carlton and also Fremantle to observe if they are actually tossed out of the eight.Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and end up 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in a removal finalMagic of Hok-ball explained|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To play: St Kilda at Wonder Arena, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Finish 4th if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and Hawthorn all lose OR Hawks win yet fall behind Blues on amount (approx. 4 goals), fifth if three occur, 6th if pair of take place, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Hawthorn loses by good enough to fall behind on percent as well as Fremantle sheds, 8th if one occurs, otherwise miss finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home condition really helped all of them out this weekend break. Fremantle's reduction, blended along with the Blues' win over West Shoreline, views them inside the eight as well as also capable to play finals if they are actually outplayed through Street Kilda next full week. (Though they 'd be left wishing Port to defeat Freo.) Reasonably they are actually mosting likely to desire to defeat the Saints to ensure on their own an area in September - and to provide themselves an opportunity of an MCG elimination final. If both the Pets as well as Hawks drop, the Blues can also organize that final, though our experts 'd be pretty surprised if the Hawks lost. Portion is most likely to follow right into play with the help of Carlton's substantial get West Shore - they may require to push the Saints to stay away from participating in Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and end up 8th, away to Brisbane in an elimination final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To participate in: Slot Adelaide at Optus Arena, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish sixth if Western Side Bulldogs, Hawthorn and also Carlton shed, 7th if two shed, 8th if one loses, miss out on finals if all of them winLose: Will overlook finalsAnalysis: Oh wonderful, yet another reason to loathe West Shoreline. Their competitors' lack of ability to defeat cry' B-team indicates the Dockers go to true danger of their Round 24 video game ending up being a dead rubber. The equation is actually pretty basic - they need to have at least some of the Dogs, Hawks or even Blues to lose before they play Port. If that happens, the Dockers can easily succeed their method in to September. If all 3 gain, they'll be done away with due to the opportunity they take the industry. (Technically Freo may additionally record Brisbane on portion yet it's remarkably not likely.) Fox Footy's prediction: Shed and also overlook finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood can technically still play finals, yet needs to make up an amount gap of 30+ goals to catch Carlton, plus Fremantle has to shed.
