Perpetuity AEST.Adams to possibly overlook yet another GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To participate in: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Sunday 7:40 pmWin or even Miss: End Up 1stAnalysis: There are actually no sensible cases where the Swans fail to win the small premiership. There are actually impractical ones, though! A 100-point loss, while Port Adelaide trumps Fremantle by one hundred factors, would 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: End up second if GWS loses OR wins and also does not compose 7-8 goal percentage gap, 3rd if GWS triumphes and also composes 7-8 target amount gapLose: Complete 2nd if GWS loses (and also Port may not be trumped by 7-8 targets much more than the Giants), third if GWS succeeds, 4th in really not likely scenario Geelong gains and comprises large portion gapAnalysis: The Electrical power will definitely have the advantage of understanding their precise scenario moving right into their ultimate video game, though there's a very genuine odds they'll be actually pretty much locked in to 2nd. And either way they're heading to be actually playing in the 2nd Qualifying Final. Their portion lead on GWS is actually roughly 7-8 goals, and on Geelong it's closer to 20, so they're probably certainly not receiving captured due to the Felines. As a result if the Giants succeed, the Electrical power is going to require to win to secure second spot - but as long as they don't obtain punished through a desperate Dockers edge, amount shouldn't be actually a trouble. (If they gain by a couple of targets, GWS will require to succeed by 10 targets to record them, and so on) Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and also end up second, bunch GWS in a certifying final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To play: Western Bulldogs at Mars Stadium, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete second if Slot Adelaide drops OR victories but quits 7-8 target bait amount, 3rd if Port Adelaide succeeds and also has percent leadLose: Finish second if Slot Adelaide is trumped through 7-8 goals more than they are, 3rd if Port Adelaide wins OR sheds but has percent lead AND Geelong loses OR success and doesn't compose 10-goal amount gap, 4th if Geelong victories and also comprises 10-goal amount gapAnalysis: They're locked right into the top four, and also are actually very likely playing in the second vs third certifying final, though Geelong certainly knows exactly how to whip West Coastline at GMHBA Arena. That is actually the only method the Giants would drop out of participating in Port Adelaide a gigantic gain by the Kitties on Saturday (our company are actually talking 10+ goals) and after that a Giants reduction to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Pet cats don't gain significant (or even win in all), the Giants will definitely be playing for throwing civil rights to the 2nd Qualifying Final. They can either make up a 7-8 target gap in portion to pass Port Adelaide, or even merely really hope Freo defeats them.Fox Footy's forecast: Lose as well as end up third, away to Port Adelaide in a qualifying finalZach Tuohy explains choice to retire|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To play: West Shoreline Eagles at GMHBA Arena, Sunday 1:45 pmWin: Complete 3rd if GWS drops and quits 10-goal portion top, fourth if GWS wins OR sheds but keeps amount lead (fringe circumstance they can easily meet second with gigantic win) Lose: End Up fourth if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and Carlton shed, fifth if 3 lose, 6th if two lose, 7th if one sheds, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they actually turned that one up. From appearing like they were actually heading to construct portion as well as secure a top-four area, today the Pussy-cats require to gain only to ensure themselves the dual odds, along with 4 crews wishing they drop to West Shoreline so they can pinch 4th coming from them. On the in addition edge, this is actually the absolute most lopsided matchup in present day footy, along with the Eagles dropping nine direct excursions to Kardinia Playground by an average of 10+ goals. It's not outlandish to envision the Kitties winning by that frame, as well as in mixture with even a slender GWS loss, they will be actually heading right into an away certifying last vs Slot Adelaide (for the third attend five seasons!). Otherwise a succeed must send all of them to the SCG. If the Kitties actually shed, they will certainly possibly be actually sent in to an eradication last on our predictions, right up to 8th! Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and complete 4th, away to Sydney in a training final5. BRISBANE COUGARS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To play: Essendon at the Gabba, Saturday 7:30 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong loses, fifth if Geelong winsLose: Finish 5th if Western Bulldogs lose and also Hawthorn shed AND Carlton shed and also Fremantle shed OR win but go bust to eliminate large percentage gap, sixth if three of those occur, 7th if two occur, 8th if one occurs, overlook finals if none happenAnalysis: Not just did they police officer an additional distressing loss to the Pies, but they acquired the inappropriate staff above them shedding! If the Lions were going into Shot 24 hoping for Slot or even GWS to shed, they 'd still possess a true chance at the leading 4, however undoubtedly Geelong does not drop at home to West Shore? As long as the Kitties finish the job, the Cougars ought to be actually tied for an eradication final. Beating the Bombers will at that point ensure all of them fifth place (which is actually the edge of the bracket you yearn for, if it suggests staying clear of the Bulldogs and Hawks in week one, as well as very likely acquiring Geelong in week pair of). A surprise loss to Essendon would certainly see Chris Fagan's side nervously enjoying on Sunday to see the amount of groups pass all of them ... theoretically they could skip the eight completely, yet it is very unrealistic for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Succeed and also finish 5th, host Carlton in an eradication finalSelfish Lions recorded steering clear of allies|01:046. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To participate in: GWS Giants at Mars Stadium, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: End up 4th if Geelong as well as Brisbane shed, 5th if one loses, sixth if both winLose: Finish 6th if Hawthorn, Carlton and Fremantle shed, 7th if 2 shed, 8th if one loses, miss finals if they all winAnalysis: Annoyingly for the Bulldogs, they can still miss out on the eight, despite having the AFL's second-best amount as well as 13 wins (which no person has actually EVER missed out on the 8 with). In reality it's a very real opportunity - they still need to have to function versus an in-form GWS to promise their area in September. But that's not the only point at risk the Pets would ensure on their own a home last with a victory (probably at the MCG vs Hawthorn), however even if they remain in the 8 after dropping, they may be heading to Brisbane for that eradication last. At the other end of the range, there is actually still a tiny odds they can sneak right into the top four, though it needs West Coastline to defeat Geelong in Geelong, and also Essendon to trump Brisbane in Brisbane ... therefore a little possibility. Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and finish sixth, 'host' Hawthorn in a removal final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To participate in: North Melbourne at UTAS Arena, Sunday 4:35 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong, Brisbane and also Western Bulldogs all shed as well as Carlton drops OR triumphes yet crashes to surpass all of them on amount (approx. 4 objectives) fifth if 3 occur, sixth if pair of occur, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Fremantle loses and also Carlton sheds while keeping behind on percent, 8th if one loses, skip finals if both winAnalysis: Our experts prefer to be the Hawks than the Bulldogs today, as a result of who they've received delegated to deal with. Sam Mitchell's males are actually a succeed off of September, and merely need to take care of business against an injury-hit N. Melbourne who looked horrendous versus claimed Dogs on Sunday. There is actually also a really long shot they creep right into the best 4 additional truthfully they'll earn on their own an MCG eradication ultimate, either against the Pets, Freo or even Carlton. (The best-case case is actually perhaps the Pets shedding, so the Hawks finish sixth and also play the Blues.) If they are actually outplayed through North though, they are actually equally as frightened as the Canines, waiting on Carlton and also Fremantle to see if they are actually tossed out of the eight.Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain and also finish 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in an elimination finalMagic of Hok-ball discussed|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To play: St Kilda at Marvel Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Finish fourth if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and also Hawthorn all drop OR Hawks win yet fall back Woes on portion (approx. 4 targets), 5th if 3 occur, 6th if 2 take place, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Hawthorn drops by good enough to fall back on amount AND Fremantle sheds, 8th if one takes place, typically miss out on finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home condition really assisted all of them out this weekend. Fremantle's loss, incorporated with the Blues' win over West Shore, views them inside the eight and even capable to participate in finals if they are actually upset by Street Kilda following week. (Though they will be actually left behind praying for Port to defeat Freo.) Reasonably they're heading to wish to defeat the Saints to promise themselves a spot in September - as well as to offer on their own a possibility of an MCG elimination final. If both the Canines and Hawks drop, the Blues could possibly even throw that final, though our company 'd be actually rather stunned if the Hawks shed. Percent is most likely to come into play due to Carlton's significant win over West Coastline - they might require to pump the Saints to steer clear of participating in Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain as well as complete 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: Complete 6th if Western Side Bulldogs, Hawthorn and Carlton shed, 7th if pair of lose, 8th if one loses, miss finals if each one of them winLose: Will certainly miss finalsAnalysis: Oh wonderful, one more reason to detest West Coast. Their rivals' inability to defeat cry' B-team indicates the Dockers go to real threat of their Around 24 activity ending up being a dead rubber. The formula is rather straightforward - they require at the very least some of the Pets, Hawks or Blues to shed just before they play Slot. If that occurs, the Dockers can win their way in to September. If all 3 gain, they'll be done away with by the opportunity they get the field. (Technically Freo can additionally catch Brisbane on amount but it is actually exceptionally not likely.) Fox Footy's prophecy: Shed and miss finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood can technically still participate in finals, yet requires to comprise a percent gap of 30+ targets to record Carlton, plus Fremantle needs to shed.
