All times AEST.Adams to likely miss an additional GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To participate in: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Sunday 7:40 pmWin or Lose: End Up 1stAnalysis: There are actually no sensible situations where the Swans go under to gain the slight premiership. There are impractical ones, though! A 100-point reduction, while Port Adelaide defeats Fremantle by one hundred aspects, would certainly do it.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and also end up 1st, lot Geelong in a qualifying final2. PORT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To play: Fremantle at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish second if GWS drops OR wins and doesn't make up 7-8 goal percentage space, 3rd if GWS victories and also makes up 7-8 target percent gapLose: Complete 2nd if GWS sheds (as well as Port aren't trumped by 7-8 goals more than the Giants), 3rd if GWS wins, 4th in extremely extremely unlikely situation Geelong succeeds as well as composes enormous percentage gapAnalysis: The Power will possess the benefit of recognizing their exact circumstance moving right into their final video game, though there is actually a quite real chance they'll be basically locked right into second. And in either case they are actually mosting likely to be actually playing in the 2nd Qualifying Final. Their percent lead on GWS is actually approximately 7-8 goals, and also on Geelong it's closer to 20, so they're perhaps not getting caught due to the Pussy-cats. For that reason if the Giants gain, the Energy will certainly require to win to secure second place - but just as long as they don't receive whipped by a despairing Dockers side, portion should not be a concern. (If they succeed through a number of objectives, GWS would need to succeed by 10 targets to catch all of them, and so on) Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and also finish second, bunch GWS in a qualifying final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To play: Western Bulldogs at Mars Stadium, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: End up second if Port Adelaide loses OR wins but quits 7-8 objective bait portion, 3rd if Port Adelaide succeeds and also keeps portion leadLose: Finish second if Slot Adelaide is actually trumped through 7-8 objectives much more than they are actually, third if Port Adelaide succeeds OR sheds however holds percentage lead as well as Geelong sheds OR victories as well as does not make up 10-goal amount space, 4th if Geelong wins and also comprises 10-goal portion gapAnalysis: They're latched into the best 4, and also are actually likely playing in the second vs third training ultimate, though Geelong definitely understands how to whip West Shoreline at GMHBA Stadium. That's the only method the Giants would drop out of participating in Slot Adelaide an enormous win due to the Pussy-cats on Sunday (we're chatting 10+ goals) and afterwards a Giants loss to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Pet cats don't succeed major (or succeed at all), the Giants will be actually playing for holding civil liberties to the Second Qualifying Final. They can either make up a 7-8 goal gap in percentage to pass Slot Adelaide, or even merely hope Freo beats them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Shed as well as finish 3rd, away to Slot Adelaide in a training finalZach Tuohy details selection to retire|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To play: West Shore Eagles at GMHBA Stadium, Sunday 1:45 pmWin: Finish third if GWS loses as well as surrenders 10-goal portion lead, fourth if GWS wins OR sheds however holds onto percent top (edge case they may reach 2nd along with substantial win) Lose: Complete fourth if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton lose, fifth if three shed, 6th if pair of lose, 7th if one drops, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they really screwed that a person up. Coming from looking like they were actually mosting likely to construct amount and also secure a top-four area, today the Pussy-cats need to have to succeed merely to guarantee on their own the double odds, along with 4 crews hoping they drop to West Coast so they can squeeze 4th coming from all of them. On the plus side, this is one of the most lopsided competition in contemporary footy, with the Eagles shedding 9 straight vacations to Kardinia Park by approximately 10+ targets. It is actually not unlikely to visualize the Kitties gaining through that frame, and in combination with even a slim GWS reduction, they will be moving in to an away training last vs Port Adelaide (for the third attend five periods!). Or else a gain need to send them to the SCG. If the Felines in fact lose, they are going to probably be sent right into a removal final on our forecasts, all the way up to 8th! Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and also complete 4th, away to Sydney in a training final5. BRISBANE COUGARS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To participate in: Essendon at the Gabba, Saturday 7:30 pmWin: End up fourth if Geelong sheds, 5th if Geelong winsLose: Finish 5th if Western Bulldogs lose and also Hawthorn shed as well as Carlton shed as well as Fremantle drop OR gain but crash to get over very large percentage gap, 6th if 3 of those take place, 7th if pair of take place, 8th if one occurs, miss finals if none happenAnalysis: Certainly not merely performed they cop one more distressing reduction to the Pies, but they obtained the incorrect staff over them losing! If the Lions were entering into Round 24 hoping for Slot or GWS to lose, they 'd still possess a true shot at the top 4, but definitely Geelong doesn't lose at home to West Coastline? So long as the Felines finish the job, the Lions should be actually bound for an eradication final. Defeating the Bombers would certainly at that point promise all of them fifth spot (which is actually the edge of the brace you yearn for, if it implies steering clear of the Bulldogs as well as Hawks in week one, and also likely obtaining Geelong in week pair of). A shock loss to Essendon would see Chris Fagan's edge nervously viewing on Sunday to find how many crews pass them ... technically they can miss out on the eight entirely, however it is really outlandish for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and complete 5th, multitude Carlton in a removal finalSelfish Cougars captured steering clear of 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 also Brisbane lose, 5th if one loses, 6th if both winLose: End up 6th if Hawthorn, Carlton as well as Fremantle drop, 7th if 2 lose, 8th if one sheds, miss out on finals if they all winAnalysis: Annoyingly for the Bulldogs, they may still miss out on the eight, despite possessing the AFL's second-best portion as well as thirteen success (which no one has actually ever before missed the eight along with). In fact it's an incredibly true option - they still need to have to perform versus an in-form GWS to guarantee their spot in September. But that's certainly not the only thing at risk the Dogs will assure on their own a home final with a success (likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), but even when they stay in the eight after shedding, they can be heading to Brisbane for that removal last. At the other edge of the range, there is actually still a very small possibility they can sneak in to the leading 4, though it calls for West Shore to trump Geelong in Geelong, and also Essendon to beat Brisbane in Brisbane ... thereby a very small opportunity. Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and finish 6th, 'range' Hawthorn in a removal final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To play: North Melbourne at UTAS Arena, Saturday 4:35 pmWin: Finish fourth if Geelong, Brisbane and also Western Bulldogs all lose AND Carlton sheds OR success but goes bust to overtake them on portion (approx. 4 objectives) 5th if 3 occur, 6th if 2 occur, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Fremantle loses as well as Carlton loses while keeping overdue on amount, 8th if one loses, miss finals if each winAnalysis: We would rather be the Hawks than the Bulldogs at this moment, due to who they have actually obtained left to face. Sam Mitchell's males are actually a win out of September, as well as just need to function against an injury-hit N. Melbourne that appeared awful against said Pet dogs on Sunday. There is actually even a very small chance they sneak into the best 4 even more genuinely they'll gain themselves an MCG removal final, either against the Pet dogs, Freo or Carlton. (The best-case scenario is actually probably the Pets shedding, so the Hawks complete sixth and play cry.) If they're outplayed by North though, they are actually equally terrified as the Pet dogs, waiting for Carlton as well as Fremantle to find if they're rejected of the eight.Fox Footy's prediction: Win and complete 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in a removal finalMagic of Hok-ball explained|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To participate in: Street Kilda at Wonder Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: End up 4th if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and also Hawthorn all lose OR Hawks gain however fall behind Blues on portion (approx. 4 goals), fifth if three occur, sixth if two take place, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: Complete 7th if Hawthorn sheds through sufficient to fall behind on portion AND Fremantle sheds, 8th if one occurs, or else skip finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home condition really helped all of them out this weekend break. Fremantle's reduction, blended along with the Blues' win over West Shore, finds all of them inside the 8 and even able to participate in finals if they are actually upset by St Kilda upcoming full week. (Though they 'd be actually left praying for Slot to defeat Freo.) Reasonably they are actually heading to want to beat the Saints to promise on their own a location in September - and also to give on their own a possibility of an MCG elimination last. If both the Canines as well as Hawks drop, cry could possibly even organize that final, though our experts will be pretty surprised if the Hawks dropped. Portion is most likely to find right into play with the help of Carlton's substantial gain West Shoreline - they may require to pump the Saints to prevent playing Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's prophecy: Win as well as complete 8th, away to Brisbane in an elimination final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To play: Port Adelaide at Optus Arena, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Complete 6th if Western Side Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton shed, 7th if pair of lose, 8th if one drops, skip finals if each one of all of them winLose: Will certainly miss out on finalsAnalysis: Oh terrific, an additional cause to despise West Coast. Their competitors' incapability to beat the Blues' B-team indicates the Dockers are at actual risk of their Round 24 game coming to be a dead rubber. The formula is quite basic - they require at the very least one of the Pets, Hawks or Blues to lose just before they participate in Slot. If that occurs, the Dockers can easily gain their way into September. If all three succeed, they'll be actually removed by the opportunity they take the field. (Technically Freo can easily likewise record Brisbane on portion however it is actually exceptionally unexpected.) Fox Footy's prediction: Shed as well as overlook finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood can theoretically still play finals, however needs to comprise a percentage gap of 30+ targets to record Carlton, plus Fremantle needs to shed.
