All times AEST.Adams to likely miss yet another GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To participate in: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Saturday 7:40 pmWin or Lose: End Up 1stAnalysis: There are actually no practical scenarios where the Swans crash to win the small premiership. There are unrealistic ones, though! A 100-point reduction, while Slot Adelaide trumps Fremantle by 100 aspects, would do it.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain as well as finish first, multitude Geelong in a certifying final2. SLOT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To participate in: Fremantle at Optus Stadium, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Complete 2nd if GWS drops OR victories and also doesn't comprise 7-8 target amount space, 3rd if GWS triumphes as well as makes up 7-8 objective amount gapLose: Complete second if GWS drops (as well as Port aren't defeated through 7-8 objectives greater than the Giants), 3rd if GWS succeeds, fourth in quite unexpected scenario Geelong wins as well as composes large amount gapAnalysis: The Power will have the advantage of understanding their particular case heading into their last game, though there is actually a very real opportunity they'll be pretty much latched in to 2nd. And either way they are actually mosting likely to be playing in the Second Qualifying Final. Their amount bait GWS is approximately 7-8 objectives, and on Geelong it is actually closer to twenty, so they're probably not acquiring captured by the Pet cats. Consequently if the Giants win, the Electrical power is going to need to have to gain to lock up 2nd place - yet as long as they don't obtain surged through a desperate Dockers edge, amount should not be actually a complication. (If they succeed by a couple of targets, GWS would certainly need to succeed by 10 targets to catch them, and so on) Fox Footy's prediction: Win as well as complete 2nd, host GWS in a certifying final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To play: Western Bulldogs at Mars Arena, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete 2nd if Port Adelaide sheds OR triumphes but gives up 7-8 target lead on percent, 3rd if Port Adelaide wins as well as has percent leadLose: Finish second if Slot Adelaide is actually beaten by 7-8 objectives greater than they are actually, third if Port Adelaide wins OR drops however holds percent lead and also Geelong drops OR wins and also doesn't make up 10-goal portion void, fourth if Geelong wins and makes up 10-goal portion gapAnalysis: They're secured in to the best four, and are actually most likely playing in the 2nd vs 3rd training final, though Geelong absolutely understands just how to punish West Shoreline at GMHBA Coliseum. That is actually the only way the Giants would drop out of playing Slot Adelaide a gigantic win by the Kitties on Saturday (our company are actually chatting 10+ goals) and then a Giants reduction to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Kitties do not win significant (or gain whatsoever), the Giants is going to be betting organizing legal rights to the 2nd Qualifying Final. They may either comprise a 7-8 target gap in percentage to pass Port Adelaide, or even only really hope Freo trumps them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Drop as well as complete third, away to Slot Adelaide in a certifying finalZach Tuohy describes choice to retire|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To participate in: West Shore Eagles at GMHBA Coliseum, Sunday 1:45 pmWin: End up 3rd if GWS sheds and gives up 10-goal percent top, fourth if GWS gains OR loses however holds onto percent lead (fringe instance they may achieve 2nd along with extensive gain) Lose: Complete fourth if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton drop, fifth if 3 drop, sixth if pair of drop, 7th if one sheds, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they really screwed that up. From appearing like they were actually visiting create amount and also lock up a top-four place, now the Kitties need to have to succeed merely to guarantee themselves the double opportunity, with 4 groups hoping they shed to West Shoreline so they may pinch fourth coming from them. On the plus edge, this is the best unbalanced matchup in modern footy, along with the Eagles losing 9 direct travels to Kardinia Park through an average of 10+ goals. It is actually certainly not outlandish to think of the Pet cats winning through that scope, and in combination along with also a slim GWS reduction, they 'd be actually heading in to an away training final vs Port Adelaide (for the 3rd time in five periods!). Otherwise a succeed must send all of them to the SCG. If the Cats actually lose, they will definitely possibly be delivered in to an elimination ultimate on our prophecies, completely to 8th! Fox Footy's prediction: Win and end up 4th, away to Sydney in a certifying final5. BRISBANE COUGARS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To play: Essendon at the Gabba, Saturday 7:30 pmWin: End up fourth if Geelong drops, fifth if Geelong winsLose: Complete 5th if Western side Bulldogs lose AND Hawthorn drop and also Carlton drop and also Fremantle shed OR win however go under to get over large percentage space, sixth if three of those happen, 7th if pair of take place, 8th if one takes place, miss finals if none happenAnalysis: Certainly not just performed they cop one more excruciating loss to the Pies, but they acquired the inappropriate group above all of them dropping! If the Lions were entering Round 24 hoping for Port or GWS to drop, they 'd still possess an actual chance at the best four, however certainly Geelong doesn't shed in the house to West Coast? Provided that the Pussy-cats finish the job, the Cougars must be tied for an elimination last. Defeating the Bombers will after that promise them fifth spot (and also's the side of the bracket you prefer, if it implies staying clear of the Bulldogs and Hawks in week one, and likely obtaining Geelong in full week two). A surprise reduction to Essendon would certainly view Chris Fagan's edge nervously seeing on Sunday to find the number of crews pass them ... technically they could miss out on the 8 completely, but it is actually incredibly unrealistic for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and also end up 5th, lot Carlton in an elimination finalSelfish Lions recorded shunning teammates|01:046. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To play: GWS Giants at Mars Arena, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong and Brisbane drop, fifth if one sheds, 6th if both winLose: End up sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton as well as Fremantle drop, 7th if pair of shed, 8th if one drops, miss out on finals if they all winAnalysis: Irritatingly for the Bulldogs, they can easily still miss the 8, even with possessing the AFL's second-best percent and also 13 success (which no person has ever before missed out on the 8 along with). As a matter of fact it's an extremely real possibility - they still need to take care of business against an in-form GWS to guarantee their place in September. Yet that's not the only trait at risk the Pet dogs would guarantee themselves a home last with a victory (likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), yet even if they stay in the eight after dropping, they might be moving to Brisbane for that elimination final. At the various other end of the spectrum, there's still a very small chance they may creep into the leading 4, though it requires West Shore to defeat Geelong in Geelong, and Essendon to beat Brisbane in Brisbane ... thereby a very small odds. Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and end up sixth, 'range' Hawthorn in an elimination final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To participate in: North Melbourne at UTAS Arena, Sunday 4:35 pmWin: Finish fourth if Geelong, Brisbane and Western Bulldogs all lose AND Carlton loses OR success but loses big to surpass all of them on amount (approx. 4 goals) fifth if 3 occur, sixth if pair of occur, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Fremantle sheds AND Carlton drops while remaining behind on percentage, 8th if one loses, miss finals if both winAnalysis: Our team would rather be actually the Hawks than the Bulldogs right now, as a result of that they've acquired left to face. Sam Mitchell's guys are actually a succeed far from September, and also simply need to take care of business against an injury-hit North Melbourne that looked terrible versus mentioned Canines on Sunday. There's even a really long shot they slip into the best four additional realistically they'll gain on their own an MCG eradication ultimate, either versus the Pets, Freo or Carlton. (The best-case scenario is possibly the Canines shedding, so the Hawks complete sixth as well as participate in cry.) If they are actually upset through North though, they are actually just as scared as the Dogs, waiting for Carlton and also Fremantle to find if they are actually kicked out of the eight.Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain as well as finish 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in a removal finalMagic of Hok-ball described|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To play: Street Kilda at Marvel Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and also Hawthorn all lose OR Hawks gain yet fall behind Blues on portion (approx. 4 goals), fifth if three happen, 6th if pair of happen, 7th if one happens, 8th if none happenLose: Complete 7th if Hawthorn sheds by good enough to fall back on percentage and also Fremantle drops, 8th if one takes place, or else overlook finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home condition really helped all of them out this weekend break. Fremantle's loss, incorporated along with cry' draw West Coast, sees them inside the eight and also able to participate in finals if they're outplayed by Street Kilda upcoming full week. (Though they will be left behind wishing Port to trump Freo.) Truthfully they are actually going to want to beat the Saints to promise on their own a place in September - and to provide on their own an opportunity of an MCG elimination final. If both the Pets and Hawks shed, the Blues could even host that final, though we 'd be rather surprised if the Hawks lost. Percent is actually likely ahead right into play due to Carlton's significant sway West Shore - they may need to pump the Saints to stay away from participating in Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and complete 8th, away to Brisbane in a removal final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To play: Port Adelaide at Optus Stadium, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Complete sixth if Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and also Carlton lose, 7th if 2 lose, 8th if one sheds, miss out on finals if all of all of them winLose: Will skip finalsAnalysis: Oh great, yet another explanation to detest West Coast. Their competitors' lack of ability to beat the Blues' B-team indicates the Dockers go to real risk of their Sphere 24 video game coming to be a lifeless rubber. The equation is rather straightforward - they need to have at least among the Canines, Hawks or Woes to drop just before they play Slot. If that happens, the Dockers can gain their means right into September. If all three gain, they'll be actually done away with due to the opportunity they take the area. (Technically Freo may also record Brisbane on percent however it's very improbable.) Fox Footy's prediction: Lose as well as miss finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood can actually still play finals, yet requires to comprise a percentage space of 30+ targets to capture Carlton, plus Fremantle needs to shed.
