Perpetuity AEST.Adams to potentially skip an additional GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To play: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Saturday 7:40 pmWin or Lose: Finish 1stAnalysis: There are no realistic cases where the Swans fail to gain the minor premiership. There are unrealistic ones, though! A 100-point reduction, while Slot Adelaide defeats Fremantle through one hundred points, would certainly do it.Fox Footy's prediction: Win and also end up first, lot Geelong in a certifying final2. PORT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To play: Fremantle at Optus Stadium, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish 2nd if GWS drops OR wins and doesn't make up 7-8 target percent space, 3rd if GWS wins and comprises 7-8 objective percent gapLose: End up second if GWS drops (and Slot may not be trumped through 7-8 goals much more than the Giants), third if GWS gains, fourth in very not likely circumstance Geelong wins as well as makes up large amount gapAnalysis: The Electrical power will have the benefit of knowing their specific situation moving in to their ultimate video game, though there is actually an incredibly actual opportunity they'll be more or less locked right into second. And also in any case they are actually going to be actually playing in the Second Qualifying Final. Their portion lead on GWS is actually about 7-8 goals, and on Geelong it is actually closer to twenty, so they are actually most likely not receiving captured due to the Cats. Consequently if the Giants win, the Electrical power will need to gain to lock up second location - but provided that they don't receive surged by a despairing Dockers side, portion shouldn't be a concern. (If they gain through a couple of targets, GWS would need to have to succeed through 10 targets to record them, and so on) Fox Footy's prophecy: Succeed and 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: Complete 2nd if Slot Adelaide sheds OR success yet gives up 7-8 goal bait portion, 3rd if Slot Adelaide wins and also has percentage leadLose: Complete second if Slot Adelaide is beaten by 7-8 targets more than they are actually, third if Slot Adelaide wins OR drops yet holds amount lead AND Geelong loses OR triumphes and doesn't make up 10-goal percentage void, 4th if Geelong victories and also makes up 10-goal percentage gapAnalysis: They're latched in to the best four, as well as are most likely playing in the 2nd vs third qualifying last, though Geelong absolutely recognizes how to thrash West Coast at GMHBA Arena. That's the only way the Giants will leave of participating in Slot Adelaide a substantial gain by the Cats on Sunday (our experts are actually chatting 10+ objectives) and then a Giants reduction to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Cats do not gain large (or succeed in any way), the Giants is going to be betting organizing civil liberties to the Second Qualifying Final. They can easily either make up a 7-8 goal void in portion to pass Slot Adelaide, or only wish Freo defeats them.Fox Footy's prediction: Drop as well as finish 3rd, away to Port Adelaide in a qualifying finalZach Tuohy explains selection to retire|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To participate in: West Shoreline Eagles at GMHBA Coliseum, Saturday 1:45 pmWin: End up third if GWS loses and also quits 10-goal portion top, fourth if GWS gains OR drops however holds onto portion top (fringe circumstance they may reach 2nd along with huge win) Lose: Complete 4th if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and Carlton shed, fifth if three shed, 6th if two lose, 7th if one drops, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they actually screwed that up. From looking like they were heading to develop percentage and also lock up a top-four area, today the Pet cats need to succeed only to promise themselves the double odds, along with 4 staffs hoping they lose to West Shore so they can easily pinch fourth from them. On the in addition edge, this is one of the most lopsided matchup in contemporary footy, along with the Eagles dropping nine direct travels to Kardinia Playground through around 10+ targets. It is actually not impractical to visualize the Pet cats gaining through that scope, and also in blend along with also a slim GWS loss, they will be actually heading in to an away qualifying ultimate vs Slot Adelaide (for the 3rd time in 5 seasons!). Or else a gain should deliver them to the SCG. If the Kitties actually lose, they will definitely probably be actually sent into an eradication final on our prophecies, completely down to 8th! Fox Footy's prediction: Win as well as end up fourth, 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: Complete fourth if Geelong sheds, 5th if Geelong winsLose: End up 5th if Western side Bulldogs drop and also Hawthorn shed as well as Carlton lose and also Fremantle lose OR win however go bust to overcome large amount void, sixth if 3 of those take place, 7th if two take place, 8th if one happens, miss out on finals if none happenAnalysis: Not simply performed they police yet another agonizing reduction to the Pies, but they received the wrong group over them shedding! If the Lions were actually going into Shot 24 anticipating Port or even GWS to lose, they 'd still possess an actual chance at the best 4, but absolutely Geelong doesn't drop in the house to West Shoreline? Just as long as the Pet cats get the job done, the Lions must be tied for an elimination ultimate. Defeating the Bombers would certainly at that point ensure all of them 5th spot (and also is actually the edge of the bracket you yearn for, if it indicates staying clear of the Bulldogs and also Hawks in full week one, and also most likely getting Geelong in full week two). A surprise reduction to Essendon would certainly see Chris Fagan's edge nervously enjoying on Sunday to find the amount of groups pass all of them ... practically they could miss out on the eight totally, yet it is quite impractical for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Win as well as end up 5th, multitude Carlton in an eradication finalSelfish Lions captured shunning colleagues|01:046. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To play: GWS Giants at Mars Coliseum, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong and also Brisbane shed, 5th if one drops, sixth if each winLose: End up sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton and Fremantle shed, 7th if 2 shed, 8th if one loses, skip finals if they all winAnalysis: Irritatingly for the Bulldogs, they may still miss out on the eight, regardless of possessing the AFL's second-best portion and thirteen success (which nobody has ever before missed out on the 8 with). As a matter of fact it is actually a really true opportunity - they still need to function against an in-form GWS to promise their spot in September. However that's certainly not the only thing at concern the Dogs would ensure themselves a home last with a success (very likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), but even when they remain in the 8 after losing, they can be heading to Brisbane for that removal final. At the various other edge of the sphere, there is actually still a little odds they can sneak in to the top four, though it requires West Coast to trump Geelong in Geelong, and also Essendon to beat Brisbane in Brisbane ... hence a very small odds. Fox Footy's forecast: Win and complete sixth, 'hold' Hawthorn in an eradication final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To play: North Melbourne at UTAS Arena, Saturday 4:35 pmWin: Finish 4th if Geelong, Brisbane and Western Bulldogs all shed and also Carlton sheds OR triumphes yet goes belly up to overtake all of them on amount (approx. 4 objectives) 5th if three take place, 6th if pair of occur, 7th if one happens, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Fremantle loses as well as Carlton loses while keeping overdue on percentage, 8th if one drops, miss finals if each winAnalysis: Our team prefer to be the Hawks than the Bulldogs immediately, due to that they have actually obtained delegated to face. Sam Mitchell's males are a gain far from September, and also just need to function against an injury-hit N. Melbourne that appeared horrible against pointed out Pet dogs on Sunday. There is actually also a very long shot they sneak in to the leading 4 even more truthfully they'll gain on their own an MCG removal final, either versus the Pet dogs, Freo or even Carlton. (The best-case case is possibly the Canines shedding, so the Hawks end up sixth as well as play the Blues.) If they're outplayed by North though, they are actually just like terrified as the Pet dogs, awaiting Carlton as well as Fremantle to find if they are actually evicted of the eight.Fox Footy's prophecy: Win as well as end up 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in a removal finalMagic of Hok-ball discussed|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To play: Street Kilda at Wonder Arena, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: End up 4th if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and Hawthorn all shed OR Hawks gain but fall back Woes on portion (approx. 4 goals), 5th if 3 take place, sixth if pair of occur, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Hawthorn drops by good enough to fall back on portion and also Fremantle loses, 8th if one takes place, typically skip finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home state really aided all of them out this weekend. Fremantle's reduction, mixed with the Blues' get West Coastline, views all of them inside the 8 as well as also able to participate in finals if they're outplayed through Street Kilda following week. (Though they would certainly be left behind wishing Port to beat Freo.) Realistically they are actually going to desire to defeat the Saints to guarantee on their own an area in September - and to offer themselves a possibility of an MCG eradication last. If both the Pets and Hawks shed, cry could possibly also hold that last, though we will be actually fairly shocked if the Hawks lost. Amount is probably to follow right into play thanks to Carlton's substantial gain West Shoreline - they might need to have to pump the Saints to prevent participating in Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's prediction: Win and also end up 8th, away to Brisbane in a removal final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To participate in: Port Adelaide at Optus Stadium, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Complete 6th if Western Side Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton shed, 7th if 2 lose, 8th if one drops, overlook finals if all of them winLose: Will certainly miss finalsAnalysis: Oh wonderful, yet another factor to loathe West Coastline. Their opponents' failure to beat cry' B-team indicates the Dockers are at true risk of their Round 24 activity ending up being a dead rubber. The equation is fairly basic - they require at the very least some of the Canines, Hawks or Blues to drop just before they play Slot. If that occurs, the Dockers may win their technique in to September. If all three succeed, they'll be actually dealt with due to the opportunity they get the industry. (Technically Freo can likewise record Brisbane on portion but it's incredibly improbable.) Fox Footy's prediction: Lose and miss finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood may practically still play finals, but needs to have to make up an amount void of 30+ objectives to record Carlton, plus Fremantle must drop.
