BRISBANE LIONS (13-6-1, 125.1%) Recently: Rated 1st, def Street Kilda through 85 ptsThis full week: GWS Giants at the Gabba, Saturday 1:45 pm2. WESTERN BULLDOGS (12-8, 122.4%) Last week: Ranked 2nd, def Melbourne through 51 ptsThis week: Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pmWith the Swans diminishing a high cliff, if our experts had to anticipate a Grand Final at the moment, this would certainly be it. It might certainly not even be possible - if the Bulldogs can't break the leading 4, they may be on an unavoidable conflict in a prelim. However in a pair of games that we believed were actually possible banana peels, both they and also Brisbane were actually prevalent. The Pet dogs' support is actually impressive right now even with all their employees concerns, No. 2 for factors allowed and No. 1 for points allowed from turnovers over the last six weeks, while the Lions have lifted during that team over that period as well (and also they extremely required to). Offered how effectively Brisbane are going you in fact need to think about, would they be the absolutely leading flag favourite now if they hadn't copped so many ACL personal injuries? To be in this particular posture offered those blows is really excellent, and also the Bulldogs are as near to a major flag contender as they have actually been actually for several years. What our experts've learned over the last handful of periods is actually that the AFL's attempts to carry reasonable balance suggest crews may truly start mid-season and rise right into the premiership nationality - our team need to cease eliminating gifted checklists when they begin slowly.Kingy unleashes on 'disconcerting' Swans|03:523. SYDNEY SWANS (14-6, 126.1%) Recently: Rated third, lost to Port Adelaide by 112 ptsNo concern where you appear, Saturday evening was embarrassingly unsatisfactory. There are actually just a few comparables to THIS form of reduction for an ultimate premier, however none of them were this negative. Actually no V/AFL premier has lost an activity through much more than one hundred points that season, as well as the largest loss by an eventual premier in the AFL age was actually Port Adelaide obtaining pumped through 92 factors versus the Kangaroos in Round 8, 2004. The much bigger concern is actually that this isn't practically the last 2 weeks over the final 6 they're 17th for contested ownerships, 18th for groundball obtains, 18th for clearances, 17th for factors from turnover differential as well as 15th for pressure rating. A blowout reduction will definitely blow those statistics out as well however they possess nothing at all like a premier's profile due to the fact that the start of July. Therefore why do our experts still have them 3rd? Well you do not sit a million games very clear in addition to the step ladder for no main reason possibly the rest of the AFL has actually discovered all of them out yet our experts still have some assurance the Swans can find one thing near their finest. As well as they should still complete best 2, which establishes all of them up and also possible.This full week: Collingwood at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmLongmire counters at "self-indulgent" opinions|01:004. PORT ADELAIDE (13-7, 113.6%) Recently: Positioned 9th, def Sydney through 112 ptsUnfortunately for the Energy, when you win an activity through THAT considerably, the account is actually regularly regarding the dropping group and just how the hell they were actually that bad. Therefore let's provide Port some was worthy of appreciation, considering that they are actually absolutely seeming like a top-four group at the moment, as well as could be serious! Over the final 6 full weeks they're No. 2 in the AFL for aspects racked up, No. 1 for factors versus, No. 3 for opposed possessions as well as No. 3 for clearances - yes the size of the Sydney succeed throws those statistics out a small amount, however they've accurately located some real type. And if they have actually closed the space in between where they were actually, in that 5th to 8th brace, to the bottom end of the leading 4 they are actually absolutely in the prelim ultimate nationality. Which will be actually a decent end result provided the standard atmosphere of frustration this season possesses or else held.This full week: Melbourne at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm5. FREMANTLE (12-7-1, 116.7%) Recently: Rated fourth, dropped to Essendon by 1 ptIt should be obtaining discouraging for Dockers enthusiasts - their group has actually dropped four activities they led at three-quarter-time this year, 2 greater than any person else. And also it will possess been actually a handy draw the Bombing planes too, provided the Swans' loss earlier on the weekend break. In spite of them must encounter 3 groups sitting above all of them on the ladder over the final three weeks our company're certainly not as well worried they actually ought to win their 2 remaining home activities, which would be enough to play finals, and also also on thirteen as well as a half gains their outstanding percentage will really carry out some good holding off Essendon. This isn't the Freo of the past - they are actually No. 1 for aspects racked up over the last six weeks, and it's the first time given that 2013 they've been actually No. 1 in the comp over any sort of six-week period.This week: Geelong at Optus Arena, Sunday 4:35 pmEmmett handed restriction for harmful deal with|00:226. GWS GIANTS (13-7, 111.2%) Last week: Placed 8th, def Hawthorn by 2 ptsThey appeared no place near it via three fourths against the Hawks, but at that point advised every person of the value of super stars. Toby Greene is fairly excellent, it turns out. Potential Coleman champion Jesse Hogan has actually been excellent for 18 months. And even Brent Daniels, among their even more underrated celebrities throughout their latest excellence, was a substantial think about the comeback with a whopping 12 last-quarter fingertips. Provided the Lions' defensive absentees is there some possibility Hogan as well as the workers obtain the Brisbane back 6 and also draw a serious trouble on Sunday? They're gon na require to succeed another game to participate in finals footy (and it may even be actually limited on 14 success) so they might as well get it carried out ASAP.This week: Brisbane Lions at the Gabba, Saturday 1:45 pmKingsley kindles healthy GWS settings|02:167. CARLTON (12-8, 112.1%) Recently: Placed 5th, lost to Collingwood through 3 ptsWe are actually mosting likely to keep believing in the Blues up until they force our hand, since there's still a great deal going their way. Yes they have actually lost four of their final five activities, but three of those were just by a number of targets, as well as last Sunday evening was actually practically determined by a zing. Probably even more notably they are actually still the No. 1 crew in the AFL for points from turn over differential - the most crucial scoring source. A tremendous 19 of the final 20 teams to place No. 1 because stat have actually made a preliminary final or even better. They are actually discriminatory, since they are actually 16th for factors from spaces over the final six full weeks, but you 'd rather be actually turnover-focused (as they are this year) than stoppage-focused (as they were actually in 2013). It will be close to a disaster if this team skipped the eight, given the requirements and where they were just a month ago, yet if they shed to the Hawks the option is live.This full week: Hawthorn at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm8. GEELONG (13-7, 108.9%) Recently: Ranked sixth, def Adelaide by 5 ptsFunny exactly how the Pussy-cats are each fairly well-placed in a tight finals ethnicity as well as providing our company less confidence in their top quality all at once. The margin most likely should not have actually been actually rather that limited versus Adelaide, but it was, as well as we perhaps require to stop discussing Kardinia Park as a fortress - offered they are actually 5-3 at home, 2 of those triumphes coming by solitary finger scopes. But once again, they're well-placed on thirteen triumphes and with West Shore in the house to find in the ultimate round. Pinch a sway the Dockers or St Kilda just before that, and also they are actually well and also definitely secure in the 8. There are actually still some reasons for peace of mind, like Patrick Dangerfield discovering kind as well as the midfield carrying out well general versus the Crows, plus the defence has stood up more than the last 6 weeks (No. 5 for factors yielded). However even though the leading four is actually accessible, they don't believe that a top 4 team.This week: Fremantle at Optus Stadium, Sunday 4:35 pmRobbo discloses Tomahawks' best qualities|03:489. HAWTHORN (11-9, 104.1%) Recently: Placed 7th, lost to GWS through 2 ptsSunday's video game is actually the best crucial for any type of one team our company have actually seen thus far in 2024. That's considering that Hawthorn's end result against Carlton will properly decide their time. They've acquired an agape course to 14 victories with a victory, and no team has actually also skipped the best 8 with 13 triumphes before. However shed and also they are actually possibly mosting likely to be pair of activities away from the eight along with 2 to play, a virtually unworkable placement. They are still carrying out a whole lot right but the trouble we knew about entering into the time, their defence, is striking at a bad time - over the final six weeks they are actually No. 1 for interior 50s against, however 17th for scores every inside fifty against. Therefore teams aren't ascertaining there certainly much, yet when they perform, they are actually racking up at can. There's a little tragedy during that but it's certainly not all good fortune. As we have actually written previously, even if the Hawks skip the finals this time has been actually incredible, yet jeez it 'd be actually irritating when they're therefore close to some of the very best accounts in years.This week: Carlton at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm10. ESSENDON (11-8-1, 95.9%) Recently: Placed 12th, def Fremantle by 1 ptTurns out our company neglected just how significant Darcy Church is to this team. After a silent very first video game back he was actually enormous against a star-studded Freo midfield. With him this time, the Bombing planes are actually +20 for allowances and also +18 from center spaces without him they are actually -17 as well as +4 respectively. That sway Freo might receive all of them in to the finals but there's also an authentic possibility someone misses out on along with 14 success, particularly if the Hawks defeated Carlton this weekend break, as well as for the Bombing planes their draw and also their unsatisfactory percentage possess the very same effect of creating them shed sudden deaths. It would certainly be fairly brutal if they won 13 as well as an one-half video games and missed out but all at once, this is what occurs when you drop to non-finalists Melbourne, Adelaide and St Kilda - you participate in them.This full week: Gold Coastline Suns at Marvel Arena, Sunday 7:30 pm' He is actually securing all of them coming from the stress'|03:0311. COLLINGWOOD (10-8-2, 100.2%) Recently: Placed 13th, def Carlton through 2 ptsSo the concern is, are they back? They need to become near their absolute best to make the 8 from here - Melbourne won't be playing for anything in Cycle 24 so you would certainly believe the Magpies succeed that a person, however dealing with the best 2 over the following pair of weeks is actually pretty challenging. Possibly they have actually timed this encounter Sydney properly, yet our company're not certain Collingwood suffices to defeat the step ladder forerunners, also within this weakened condition. It costs noting the Magpies are only 16th for inside 50s over the final 6 weeks, yet third for ratings per inside fifty, so performance is actually keeping all of them going. Their defence has actually been nowhere near sufficient over that time period so they are actually heading to require to take their odds to cease the Swans, as well as if they do, after that the various other contenders will start to stress. No one desires to face a brought back Magpies in September.This week: Sydney Swans at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmMagpies find finals identify against swans|00:3012. MELBOURNE (10-10, 97.9%) Recently: Placed 10th, lost to Western Bulldogs through 51 ptsFor the very first time this many years the Demons will definitely head into the AFL time's lifeless zone, participating in out the chain along with nothing vulnerable. In a way, being actually successfully away from the finals race ought to be actually releasing - they may bet 2025, trialling gamers in brand new postures as well as sending aching players in for very early surgeries. After all look at Geelong and also Fremantle, who transformed quite frustrating 2023 times in to probably 2024 finals berths you can't pass over the ability of crews that have actually possessed effectiveness to simply recover a year eventually. Heck, Collingwood is actually the most effective instance. Each one of this is why we're not stressing about Melbourne's condition not till midway with next year, anyway.This week: Slot Adelaide at the MCG, Sunday 7:30 pm13. GOLD SHORES SUNS (9-11, 100.4%) Recently: Placed 11th, lost to West Coast by 10 ptsTheir home-away crack is actually really shocking. Home ground conveniences is actually supposed to be worth an objective or 2 - not turn you from complete rubbish in to a top-four challenger! We know we have actually been blogging about this all year yet the story has been the same all year ... much like the tale of 'kinda being in the mix with 5-6 rounds left and then crumbling' has been the same for this entire club for time after season. Receive a brand-new gimmick!This full week: Essendon at Wonder Stadium, Sunday 7:30 pmBuckley policies himself out of Eagles task|01:1814. ADELAIDE CROWS (7-12-1, 99.8%) Last week: Ranked 15th, dropped to Geelong through 5 ptsThis full week: Western Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pm15. ST KILDA (8-12, 94.9%) Last week: Rated 14th, lost to Brisbane through 85 ptsThis full week: Richmond at Marvel Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, as our experts mentioned recently, these groups certainly never possess the same result in the very same weekend break! So after Adelaide's reduction on Sunday it's opportunity to examine ball games for the Saints' video game and-ah. Straight. Don't bother. Wherefore it deserves the Crows perhaps weren't as good as the scoreboard advised, getting bashed in the contest by a less-than-impressive Geelong midfield, so they were each below par. Permit's view if either staff may participate in looter over the last 3 full weeks - the Saints could possibly mess up Carlton or Geelong's time, while the Crows could injure the Pets however additional significantly will adore to wreck Port's.

WEST COAST EAGLES (4-16, 70%) Recently: Rated 18th, def Gold Coastline by 10 ptsThis full week: North Melbourne at Blundstone Stadium, Sunday 1:45 pm17. NORTH MELBOURNE (3-17, 67%) Recently: Placed 17th, def Richmond through 16 ptsThis full week: West Shoreline Eagles at Blundstone Field, Sunday 1:45 pm18. RICHMOND (2-18, 64.7%) Last week: Rated 16th, dropped to North Melbourne by 16 ptsThis full week: Street Kilda at Wonder Arena, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, the two-week Spoonbowl is actually most likely over, along with Richmond really deserving the get North - they succeeded the activity on assumed credit rating, off the rear of 60 inside 50s to 44 - but booting on their own in to the No. 1 pick. (Which is perhaps advantageous long-term.) Though to become fair, it's possible the Kangaroos have actually learnt goalkicking, offered they are actually No. 1 in the AFL for precision this year. West Shore in the meantime was correctly outstanding versus a staff having fun for it season, with a season-high stress score and also their third-best opposed properties gain for the year. Considering that Jarrad Schofield took control of the Eagles have gone coming from 17th in the AFL for pressure to eighth, which is a decent sign they are actually playing for him. Now all eyes count on North's attempt to finish outside all-time low pair of for the first time this many years - while it will still drop to percent, they 'd reside in a good posture along with a gain in Hobart.
