Perpetuity AEST.Adams to possibly miss one more GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To participate in: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Sunday 7:40 pmWin or Lose: Finish 1stAnalysis: There are actually no reasonable circumstances where the Swans crash to win the slight premiership. There are unlikely ones, though! A 100-point reduction, while Port Adelaide defeats Fremantle by 100 aspects, would certainly do it.Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and also end up 1st, multitude Geelong in a training final2. SLOT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To play: Fremantle at Optus Arena, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: End up second if GWS drops OR victories and does not compose 7-8 goal percent gap, 3rd if GWS success and also comprises 7-8 objective portion gapLose: Complete 2nd if GWS loses (and Port aren't beaten by 7-8 targets much more than the Giants), 3rd if GWS succeeds, 4th in extremely improbable scenario Geelong gains and also makes up substantial portion gapAnalysis: The Energy is going to possess the benefit of recognizing their exact scenario heading into their last video game, though there's an extremely actual chance they'll be basically secured into second. And in any case they're visiting be actually playing in the 2nd Qualifying Final. Their percent lead on GWS is actually around 7-8 targets, and also on Geelong it's closer to twenty, so they are actually perhaps not acquiring caught due to the Pussy-cats. Consequently if the Giants gain, the Power will certainly require to gain to secure 2nd place - yet just as long as they do not get thrashed through a desperate Dockers edge, percentage should not be a trouble. (If they win through a couple of goals, GWS would certainly require to gain through 10 goals to capture all of them, etc) Fox Footy's prediction: Win and also end up second, host GWS in a training final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To participate in: Western Bulldogs at Mars Arena, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: End up second if Slot Adelaide drops OR triumphes but loses hope 7-8 objective lead on percentage, 3rd if Port Adelaide wins and holds percentage leadLose: Complete 2nd if Slot Adelaide is actually trumped by 7-8 goals more than they are actually, 3rd if Slot Adelaide succeeds OR sheds yet keeps percent top AND Geelong sheds OR wins and also doesn't compose 10-goal portion void, 4th if Geelong wins and also makes up 10-goal percent gapAnalysis: They are actually secured right into the leading four, as well as are most likely having fun in the second vs third certifying last, though Geelong absolutely recognizes how to surge West Coast at GMHBA Stadium. That's the only technique the Giants will leave of participating in Port Adelaide a gigantic succeed due to the Pussy-cats on Saturday (our company're chatting 10+ targets) and after that a Giants loss to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Pussy-cats do not gain significant (or win at all), the Giants will certainly be playing for organizing legal rights to the Second Qualifying Final. They can easily either comprise a 7-8 target gap in percent to pass Slot Adelaide, or even only hope Freo beats them.Fox Footy's prediction: Shed and complete third, away to Slot Adelaide in a training finalZach Tuohy clarifies choice to resign|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To participate in: West Shoreline Eagles at GMHBA Arena, Saturday 1:45 pmWin: Complete third if GWS sheds as well as loses hope 10-goal portion top, fourth if GWS wins OR sheds but keeps percent top (edge scenario they can easily meet 2nd with massive gain) Lose: End Up fourth if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and also Carlton lose, 5th if three drop, 6th if two lose, 7th if one drops, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they really turned that a person up. Coming from seeming like they were actually visiting create amount and lock up a top-four location, now the Cats need to have to win just to promise themselves the double odds, along with four crews wishing they lose to West Shore so they may pinch fourth coming from all of them. On the in addition edge, this is the most uneven competition in contemporary footy, along with the Eagles shedding nine direct journeys to Kardinia Park by around 10+ targets. It's certainly not impractical to imagine the Kitties gaining through that frame, and also in mix with also a narrow GWS reduction, they would certainly be actually heading into an away training final vs Port Adelaide (for the third attend five seasons!). Or else a gain ought to deliver all of them to the SCG. If the Pet cats in fact lose, they will certainly almost certainly be sent out right into an elimination final on our forecasts, all the way up to 8th! Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain as well as complete 4th, away to Sydney in a certifying final5. BRISBANE COUGARS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To play: Essendon at the Gabba, Sunday 7:30 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong drops, fifth if Geelong winsLose: Complete fifth if Western side Bulldogs lose and also Hawthorn lose and also Carlton drop as well as Fremantle drop OR win but go bust to eliminate very large portion void, 6th if 3 of those happen, 7th if two take place, 8th if one happens, miss out on finals if none happenAnalysis: Certainly not merely performed they police one more agonizing loss to the Pies, yet they obtained the wrong staff above all of them dropping! If the Lions were entering Round 24 anticipating Port or GWS to lose, they will still possess an actual shot at the leading 4, yet certainly Geelong does not shed in the house to West Coastline? Just as long as the Cats finish the job, the Lions must be tied for a removal final. Trumping the Bombing planes will at that point ensure all of them 5th area (and also's the edge of the brace you yearn for, if it implies staying away from the Bulldogs and also Hawks in week one, as well as most likely getting Geelong in week 2). A shock reduction to Essendon would certainly view Chris Fagan's side nervously viewing on Sunday to view how many groups pass all of them ... theoretically they can overlook the 8 completely, but it is actually incredibly unlikely for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain and end up 5th, multitude Carlton in an eradication finalSelfish Cougars recorded shunning teammates|01:046. WESTERN BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To play: GWS Giants at Mars Stadium, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: End up 4th if Geelong and Brisbane drop, fifth if one sheds, 6th if both winLose: Complete 6th if Hawthorn, Carlton as well as Fremantle lose, 7th if pair of drop, 8th if one loses, overlook finals if they all winAnalysis: Annoyingly for the Bulldogs, they can easily still miss out on the eight, despite having the AFL's second-best percent and thirteen triumphes (which no one has EVER missed the 8 along with). Actually it's a quite actual possibility - they still require to take care of business against an in-form GWS to ensure their location in September. Yet that is actually not the only thing at stake the Pet dogs would assure on their own a home last along with a success (probably at the MCG vs Hawthorn), however even if they keep in the 8 after shedding, they may be moving to Brisbane for that eradication final. At the various other edge of the range, there's still a very small chance they can easily slip into the best 4, though it demands West Coast to defeat Geelong in Geelong, as well as Essendon to defeat Brisbane in Brisbane ... therefore a small odds. Fox Footy's forecast: Win and also complete sixth, 'host' Hawthorn in an elimination final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To play: North Melbourne at UTAS Coliseum, Sunday 4:35 pmWin: Finish fourth if Geelong, Brisbane as well as Western Bulldogs all drop AND Carlton loses OR victories however loses big to surpass all of them on amount (approx. 4 targets) 5th if 3 take place, sixth if two occur, 7th if one happens, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Fremantle loses AND Carlton sheds while staying overdue on portion, 8th if one drops, miss out on finals if each winAnalysis: Our experts would rather be the Hawks than the Bulldogs immediately, due to that they have actually received delegated face. Sam Mitchell's males are actually a win out of September, as well as simply need to function versus an injury-hit Northern Melbourne who appeared dreadful versus stated Pets on Sunday. There is actually also an extremely small chance they slip into the best 4 even more realistically they'll make on their own an MCG elimination last, either versus the Canines, Freo or Carlton. (The best-case case is actually probably the Canines losing, so the Hawks complete sixth as well as play cry.) If they're upset through North though, they are actually equally scared as the Canines, expecting Carlton and also Fremantle to see if they are actually rejected of the eight.Fox Footy's forecast: Win as well as end up 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in an elimination finalMagic of Hok-ball detailed|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To participate in: St Kilda at Wonder Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs as well as Hawthorn all shed OR Hawks gain but fall behind Blues on portion (approx. 4 objectives), fifth if 3 happen, 6th if 2 occur, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: Complete 7th if Hawthorn sheds through sufficient to fall behind on percentage AND Fremantle loses, 8th if one occurs, typically miss finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home state actually assisted them out this weekend break. Fremantle's loss, integrated with cry' get West Coast, finds them inside the eight as well as even capable to play finals if they are actually upset through Street Kilda next week. (Though they would certainly be left behind praying for Slot to beat Freo.) Realistically they are actually going to intend to trump the Saints to assure on their own an area in September - and also to provide themselves an odds of an MCG elimination final. If both the Dogs as well as Hawks drop, the Blues might also hold that last, though our team would certainly be pretty shocked if the Hawks lost. Portion is actually likely to follow right into play because of Carlton's substantial get West Coastline - they might require to push the Saints to avoid playing Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and complete 8th, away to Brisbane in an elimination final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To play: Slot Adelaide at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: End up sixth if Western Side Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton shed, 7th if 2 shed, 8th if one sheds, miss finals if every one of them winLose: Will certainly skip finalsAnalysis: Oh great, one more explanation to hate West Shore. Their competitors' incapacity to trump cry' B-team implies the Dockers go to real threat of their Round 24 game coming to be a dead rubber. The formula is actually pretty simple - they need at least some of the Pets, Hawks or even Woes to lose prior to they play Slot. If that happens, the Dockers can easily win their technique right into September. If all 3 win, they'll be removed due to the opportunity they get the industry. (Technically Freo may also catch Brisbane on percentage but it's exceptionally unlikely.) Fox Footy's prediction: Lose and miss out on finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood may practically still participate in finals, however requires to make up an amount space of 30+ objectives to catch Carlton, plus Fremantle needs to drop.
