All times AEST.Adams to likely miss out on another GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To participate in: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Sunday 7:40 pmWin or Miss: Finish 1stAnalysis: There are actually no reasonable situations where the Swans go under to win the slight premiership. There are actually impractical ones, though! A 100-point loss, while Slot Adelaide beats Fremantle by 100 aspects, would carry out it.Fox Footy's forecast: Win and complete first, multitude Geelong in a certifying final2. SLOT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To play: Fremantle at Optus Arena, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish 2nd if GWS loses OR success and also doesn't comprise 7-8 objective amount gap, 3rd if GWS triumphes and also composes 7-8 objective amount gapLose: Complete second if GWS sheds (and Slot may not be trumped by 7-8 goals more than the Giants), 3rd if GWS succeeds, fourth in very not likely circumstance Geelong wins and comprises huge percentage gapAnalysis: The Electrical power will certainly possess the advantage of recognizing their precise instance moving in to their final game, though there's a really true chance they'll be actually practically latched right into 2nd. And regardless they're going to be playing in the Second Qualifying Final. Their percentage lead on GWS is approximately 7-8 objectives, and on Geelong it's closer to 20, so they are actually most likely certainly not obtaining caught by the Cats. Therefore if the Giants win, the Electrical power is going to need to win to lock up 2nd area - yet just as long as they do not get punished by a despairing Dockers side, amount should not be actually a problem. (If they succeed by a couple of targets, GWS will need to have to succeed through 10 goals to capture all of them, and so on) Fox Footy's forecast: Gain as well as finish 2nd, bunch GWS in a qualifying final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To participate in: Western Bulldogs at Mars Stadium, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: End up 2nd if Port Adelaide drops OR success but loses hope 7-8 goal lead on percentage, 3rd if Slot Adelaide wins and also has percent leadLose: End up second if Port Adelaide is actually trumped through 7-8 goals much more than they are actually, third if Port Adelaide succeeds OR sheds but keeps amount top and also Geelong sheds OR triumphes as well as does not compose 10-goal percentage gap, fourth if Geelong wins as well as makes up 10-goal percent gapAnalysis: They're secured right into the best 4, and are very likely having fun in the second vs third certifying final, though Geelong surely recognizes how to thrash West Shore at GMHBA Stadium. That's the only technique the Giants would quit of participating in Port Adelaide an extensive succeed due to the Felines on Saturday (our team're speaking 10+ goals) and then a Giants reduction to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Felines do not win huge (or gain in all), the Giants will certainly be betting hosting civil liberties to the 2nd Qualifying Final. They can either make up a 7-8 goal void in amount to pass Port Adelaide, or simply really hope Freo beats them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Lose as well as finish 3rd, away to Port Adelaide in a training finalZach Tuohy details selection to resign|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To play: West Coastline Eagles at GMHBA Arena, Saturday 1:45 pmWin: End up third if GWS loses and also gives up 10-goal percentage lead, fourth if GWS gains OR drops but keeps amount lead (fringe circumstance they may meet 2nd along with massive gain) Lose: Complete fourth if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton shed, 5th if 3 drop, sixth if two lose, 7th if one sheds, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they actually tightened that one up. Coming from seeming like they were going to create amount and also lock up a top-four location, now the Cats require to win just to assure themselves the dual chance, with 4 staffs hoping they lose to West Coastline so they can easily pinch 4th coming from them. On the bonus side, this is the best unequal matchup in modern-day footy, with the Eagles losing 9 direct excursions to Kardinia Playground through an average of 10+ goals. It is actually not unlikely to envision the Pussy-cats winning through that margin, and in combination with even a slim GWS loss, they would certainly be moving in to an away qualifying ultimate vs Slot Adelaide (for the third attend 5 times!). Or else a gain should deliver all of them to the SCG. If the Pet cats actually drop, they will definitely possibly be actually sent out in to an elimination final on our prophecies, completely to 8th! Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and also end up 4th, away to Sydney in a training final5. BRISBANE LIONS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To participate in: Essendon at the Gabba, Sunday 7:30 pmWin: Finish 4th if Geelong loses, 5th if Geelong winsLose: Finish fifth if Western side Bulldogs lose as well as Hawthorn shed AND Carlton lose AND Fremantle drop OR win however crash to eliminate large portion void, sixth if 3 of those happen, 7th if two happen, 8th if one takes place, miss out on finals if none happenAnalysis: Not simply performed they police officer one more agonizing loss to the Pies, however they obtained the incorrect team above all of them shedding! If the Lions were going into Round 24 hoping for Port or GWS to shed, they 'd still possess a true shot at the top 4, yet certainly Geelong does not shed in the house to West Shore? As long as the Pet cats finish the job, the Lions ought to be tied for a removal last. Trumping the Bombing planes would at that point ensure all of them fifth spot (and also is actually the edge of the brace you prefer, if it means staying clear of the Bulldogs and also Hawks in full week one, and most likely receiving Geelong in full week two). A shock loss to Essendon would certainly view Chris Fagan's edge nervously seeing on Sunday to observe the number of groups pass them ... theoretically they can overlook the eight completely, but it is actually quite impractical for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Succeed as well as complete 5th, multitude Carlton in an elimination finalSelfish Lions captured shunning teammates|01:046. WESTERN BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To participate in: GWS Giants at Mars Arena, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong and also Brisbane shed, 5th if one sheds, sixth if both winLose: Finish sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton and Fremantle lose, 7th if two drop, 8th if one drops, miss finals if they all winAnalysis: Annoyingly for the Bulldogs, they can easily still miss out on the 8, despite possessing the AFL's second-best percentage and also 13 triumphes (which no person has ever before missed the eight with). In fact it is actually a very real option - they still require to perform versus an in-form GWS to ensure their place in September. However that is actually not the only thing at stake the Dogs would guarantee on their own a home last along with a triumph (very likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), however even if they keep in the 8 after losing, they might be heading to Brisbane for that removal ultimate. At the other edge of the sphere, there is actually still a small possibility they may slip right into the leading 4, though it requires West Shoreline to beat Geelong in Geelong, as well as Essendon to beat Brisbane in Brisbane ... therefore a little chance. Fox Footy's prediction: Win as well as finish 6th, 'hold' Hawthorn in an elimination final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To participate in: North Melbourne at UTAS Coliseum, Saturday 4:35 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong, Brisbane and also Western Bulldogs all lose as well as Carlton drops OR triumphes but goes belly up to surpass them on amount (approx. 4 goals) fifth if 3 take place, sixth if two take place, 7th if one happens, 8th if none happenLose: Complete 7th if Fremantle loses as well as Carlton drops while keeping behind on amount, 8th if one sheds, miss out on finals if both winAnalysis: Our company would rather be actually the Hawks than the Bulldogs at this moment, due to who they have actually received left to experience. Sam Mitchell's men are actually a win off of September, as well as only need to have to function versus an injury-hit North Melbourne that appeared horrendous versus stated Pets on Sunday. There's also an incredibly long shot they creep into the leading four even more truthfully they'll get on their own an MCG eradication last, either versus the Canines, Freo or even Carlton. (The best-case instance is possibly the Pet dogs shedding, so the Hawks finish sixth and play the Blues.) If they are actually outplayed through North though, they're just as frightened as the Canines, awaiting Carlton as well as Fremantle to observe if they're rejected of the eight.Fox Footy's prophecy: Win as well as finish 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 Marvel Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Finish fourth if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and also Hawthorn all drop OR Hawks win yet fall behind Blues on percentage (approx. 4 objectives), fifth if 3 happen, 6th if two occur, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Hawthorn loses through good enough to fall behind on portion and also Fremantle sheds, 8th if one happens, typically miss finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home condition actually helped them out this weekend break. Fremantle's reduction, incorporated along with cry' get West Shore, sees them inside the eight as well as even capable to participate in finals if they are actually upset through St Kilda upcoming week. (Though they will be left behind praying for Slot to trump Freo.) Realistically they are actually heading to desire to beat the Saints to guarantee themselves a location in September - and also to give themselves an odds of an MCG removal last. If both the Canines and also Hawks lose, the Blues could possibly also throw that last, though our team would certainly be pretty stunned if the Hawks shed. Portion is probably to follow in to play due to Carlton's substantial gain West Coast - they might need to have to push the Saints to steer clear of playing Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's forecast: Win as well as complete 8th, away to Brisbane in a removal final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To play: Slot Adelaide at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Complete 6th if Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and also Carlton drop, 7th if 2 lose, 8th if one drops, miss out on finals if each one of all of them winLose: Will certainly miss out on finalsAnalysis: Oh fantastic, one more factor to loathe West Coastline. Their competitors' incapability to defeat the Blues' B-team means the Dockers go to actual risk of their Sphere 24 game coming to be a lifeless rubber. The equation is actually rather easy - they require at least one of the Pets, Hawks or even Woes to lose just before they play Slot. If that happens, the Dockers can succeed their way right into September. If all 3 win, they'll be actually gotten rid of due to the opportunity they take the industry. (Technically Freo can easily additionally catch Brisbane on percent yet it is actually exceptionally not likely.) Fox Footy's forecast: Shed as well as miss out on finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood may theoretically still participate in finals, however requires to make up a portion void of 30+ goals to catch Carlton, plus Fremantle has to drop.
