Perpetuity AEST.Adams to likely overlook another GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To participate in: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Saturday 7:40 pmWin or even Lose: Complete 1stAnalysis: There are no practical scenarios where the Swans crash to win the slight premiership. There are unrealistic ones, though! A 100-point reduction, while Slot Adelaide beats Fremantle by one hundred factors, would certainly carry out it.Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain as well as end up first, bunch Geelong in a training final2. SLOT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To play: Fremantle at Optus Arena, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Complete second if GWS drops OR triumphes and doesn't make up 7-8 target percent gap, 3rd if GWS success and also comprises 7-8 target percent gapLose: End up 2nd if GWS sheds (and Slot may not be beaten by 7-8 goals greater than the Giants), 3rd if GWS succeeds, 4th in extremely not likely case Geelong wins and also comprises massive percentage gapAnalysis: The Power is going to have the advantage of understanding their particular circumstance moving in to their ultimate activity, though there's an incredibly true possibility they'll be actually practically locked right into second. As well as in either case they're visiting be playing in the 2nd Qualifying Final. Their percentage lead on GWS is roughly 7-8 objectives, as well as on Geelong it is actually closer to 20, so they're probably not getting recorded by the Felines. Consequently if the Giants succeed, the Power will require to win to lock up second location - yet provided that they do not obtain surged by a determined Dockers side, percentage should not be actually a problem. (If they gain through a couple of goals, GWS would certainly need to win by 10 objectives to record them, and so on) Fox Footy's prophecy: Win as well as complete 2nd, multitude GWS in a qualifying final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To play: Western Bulldogs at Mars Arena, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Finish 2nd if Port Adelaide sheds OR triumphes yet quits 7-8 objective lead on amount, 3rd if Slot Adelaide gains and also has amount leadLose: Finish second if Slot Adelaide is actually trumped by 7-8 targets much more than they are actually, third if Port Adelaide succeeds OR drops yet holds portion lead and also Geelong loses OR victories and does not comprise 10-goal portion gap, fourth if Geelong victories and also comprises 10-goal amount gapAnalysis: They are actually secured into the top four, and also are likely playing in the 2nd vs 3rd qualifying ultimate, though Geelong absolutely knows exactly how to surge West Coastline at GMHBA Stadium. That's the only method the Giants would leave of playing Port Adelaide a massive win by the Cats on Sunday (our experts are actually chatting 10+ targets) and after that a Giants reduction to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Pet cats don't win major (or even succeed whatsoever), the Giants will be betting organizing civil rights to the Second Qualifying Final. They can easily either compose a 7-8 objective space in percentage to pass Port Adelaide, or only really hope Freo defeats them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Shed and end up 3rd, away to Port Adelaide in a training finalZach Tuohy reveals selection to resign|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To play: West Shoreline Eagles at GMHBA Coliseum, Saturday 1:45 pmWin: End up 3rd if GWS loses and also gives up 10-goal amount lead, 4th if GWS wins OR sheds however keeps percent top (fringe scenario they may achieve second along with massive gain) Lose: Complete fourth if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and Carlton drop, 5th if 3 shed, sixth if pair of lose, 7th if one drops, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they truly turned that up. Coming from appearing like they were actually mosting likely to build portion and lock up a top-four location, today the Cats require to win simply to assure themselves the dual odds, along with 4 staffs hoping they shed to West Coast so they can easily pinch fourth from all of them. On the in addition edge, this is the most askew matchup in modern footy, along with the Eagles losing nine straight journeys to Kardinia Playground through around 10+ goals. It's not unlikely to visualize the Felines winning through that margin, as well as in blend with also a narrow GWS reduction, they will be heading into an away certifying final vs Slot Adelaide (for the third time in five seasons!). Otherwise a win ought to deliver them to the SCG. If the Pet cats actually lose, they will definitely easily be actually sent out in to an elimination last on our forecasts, completely to 8th! Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and also complete 4th, away to Sydney in a qualifying final5. BRISBANE COUGARS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To play: Essendon at the Gabba, Saturday 7:30 pmWin: End up 4th if Geelong sheds, fifth if Geelong winsLose: End up 5th if Western Bulldogs drop and also Hawthorn lose AND Carlton drop AND Fremantle lose OR win however crash to beat huge amount void, sixth if three of those take place, 7th if 2 happen, 8th if one occurs, overlook finals if none happenAnalysis: Certainly not simply did they police yet another very painful loss to the Pies, however they received the inappropriate staff above them losing! If the Lions were going into Round 24 expecting Port or GWS to shed, they will still possess a real shot at the best four, however absolutely Geelong doesn't lose at home to West Shore? As long as the Pussy-cats do the job, the Cougars need to be actually bound for a removal last. Beating the Bombers would then ensure them fifth location (and that is actually the edge of the bracket you desire, if it implies staying clear of the Bulldogs and also Hawks in full week one, as well as likely obtaining Geelong in week two). A surprise reduction to Essendon would find Chris Fagan's edge nervously viewing on Sunday to view how many teams pass them ... technically they can miss out on the eight completely, however it is quite unrealistic for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Succeed and also complete 5th, host Carlton in a removal finalSelfish Lions caught steering clear of teammates|01:046. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To participate in: GWS Giants at Mars Coliseum, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: End up fourth if Geelong and Brisbane drop, fifth if one loses, 6th if each winLose: Finish sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton and Fremantle lose, 7th if pair of shed, 8th if one drops, overlook finals if they all winAnalysis: Aggravatingly for the Bulldogs, they may still miss the eight, even with having the AFL's second-best amount and 13 success (which no person has ever before missed out on the 8 with). In fact it is actually a quite real option - they still require to function versus an in-form GWS to guarantee their spot in September. But that is actually not the only trait at stake the Pets will guarantee themselves a home final with a victory (probably at the MCG vs Hawthorn), but even when they keep in the eight after dropping, they may be moving to Brisbane for that removal last. At the various other edge of the sphere, there's still a small opportunity they can easily sneak in to the top 4, though it calls for West Shoreline to trump Geelong in Geelong, as well as Essendon to beat Brisbane in Brisbane ... thus a very small chance. Fox Footy's forecast: Gain as well as finish sixth, 'range' Hawthorn in an elimination final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To play: North Melbourne at UTAS Coliseum, Saturday 4:35 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong, Brisbane and Western Bulldogs all shed as well as Carlton sheds OR wins yet goes bust to overtake them on portion (approx. 4 goals) fifth if three happen, sixth if two occur, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Fremantle loses and also Carlton loses while keeping overdue on percentage, 8th if one sheds, skip finals if both winAnalysis: Our company would rather be the Hawks than the Bulldogs at the moment, because of who they've received delegated to face. Sam Mitchell's men are a gain far from September, and also only need to take care of business versus an injury-hit N. Melbourne that appeared horrible versus said Pets on Sunday. There's also a really long shot they sneak right into the best 4 more truthfully they'll gain themselves an MCG removal last, either versus the Pets, Freo or even Carlton. (The best-case scenario is most likely the Pet dogs shedding, so the Hawks finish 6th and participate in the Blues.) If they're upset through North though, they're just as scared as the Pets, awaiting Carlton and Fremantle to see if they are actually rejected of the eight.Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and end up 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in a removal finalMagic of Hok-ball revealed|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To participate in: Street Kilda at Marvel Arena, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and Hawthorn all shed OR Hawks win yet fall back Woes on amount (approx. 4 objectives), 5th if 3 occur, 6th if pair of happen, 7th if one happens, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Hawthorn loses through enough to fall back on percent AND Fremantle sheds, 8th if one happens, otherwise miss finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home state really helped all of them out this weekend break. Fremantle's loss, incorporated along with the Blues' gain West Shore, observes all of them inside the eight and also even able to play finals if they are actually outplayed through St Kilda following full week. (Though they 'd be left behind wishing Port to defeat Freo.) Reasonably they are actually visiting wish to beat the Saints to ensure themselves a spot in September - and also to give on their own an odds of an MCG eradication last. If both the Dogs and Hawks shed, cry might also organize that final, though we 'd be fairly stunned if the Hawks lost. Percentage is actually likely to find right into play thanks to Carlton's massive sway West Shoreline - they may need to have to pump the Saints to avoid participating in Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and also complete 8th, away to Brisbane in an eradication final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To participate in: Port Adelaide at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Complete sixth if Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and also Carlton drop, 7th if two shed, 8th if one loses, overlook finals if all of all of them winLose: Will certainly skip finalsAnalysis: Oh great, an additional cause to dislike West Shore. Their competitors' failure to beat cry' B-team implies the Dockers go to actual danger of their Around 24 game coming to be a dead rubber. The formula is actually fairly easy - they need to have at the very least some of the Canines, Hawks or Blues to drop prior to they play Slot. If that occurs, the Dockers can easily succeed their technique in to September. If all 3 succeed, they'll be done away with due to the time they take the field. (Technically Freo can easily additionally record Brisbane on amount but it is actually incredibly unlikely.) Fox Footy's forecast: Lose and overlook finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood can theoretically still participate in finals, but needs to have to comprise a percent space of 30+ objectives to record Carlton, plus Fremantle must shed.
