All times AEST.Adams to possibly miss out on an additional GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To participate in: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Sunday 7:40 pmWin or even Lose: End Up 1stAnalysis: There are no sensible circumstances where the Swans lose big to win the minor premiership. There are impractical ones, though! A 100-point reduction, while Port Adelaide defeats Fremantle by 100 factors, would do it.Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain as well as end up first, lot Geelong in a certifying final2. PORT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To participate in: Fremantle at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Complete 2nd if GWS loses OR triumphes and also does not compose 7-8 target percent void, 3rd if GWS success as well as comprises 7-8 goal portion gapLose: End up second if GWS loses (as well as Slot may not be defeated by 7-8 goals much more than the Giants), third if GWS gains, 4th in quite unlikely instance Geelong succeeds and also composes enormous amount gapAnalysis: The Electrical power will certainly have the advantage of recognizing their particular case heading right into their ultimate activity, though there's a very true possibility they'll be virtually secured into 2nd. And also regardless they are actually heading to be actually playing in the 2nd Qualifying Final. Their amount lead on GWS is actually approximately 7-8 objectives, as well as on Geelong it is actually closer to 20, so they are actually probably certainly not receiving captured by the Pet cats. As a result if the Giants gain, the Electrical power will definitely require to succeed to secure 2nd place - but as long as they do not obtain punished through a determined Dockers side, percentage shouldn't be actually a trouble. (If they win through a couple of goals, GWS would require to succeed through 10 targets to capture all of them, etc) Fox Footy's prophecy: Succeed and end up 2nd, multitude GWS in a certifying final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To play: Western Bulldogs at Mars Stadium, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: End up second if Port Adelaide drops OR triumphes but surrenders 7-8 objective lead on portion, 3rd if Port Adelaide gains and also holds percent leadLose: Complete 2nd if Slot Adelaide is defeated by 7-8 goals greater than they are, third if Port Adelaide succeeds OR sheds however has percent lead as well as Geelong drops OR wins as well as does not compose 10-goal amount void, fourth if Geelong wins as well as composes 10-goal percentage gapAnalysis: They are actually latched into the top four, as well as are likely playing in the 2nd vs third certifying ultimate, though Geelong absolutely knows how to thrash West Shoreline at GMHBA Stadium. That's the only means the Giants would certainly leave of participating in Slot Adelaide a substantial succeed due to the Pussy-cats on Saturday (we are actually talking 10+ targets) and afterwards a Giants loss to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Felines do not win major (or win in all), the Giants will be betting holding rights to the Second Qualifying Final. They can easily either comprise a 7-8 goal void in percentage to pass Port Adelaide, or even only hope Freo beats them.Fox Footy's prediction: Lose and end up third, away to Port Adelaide in a certifying finalZach Tuohy reveals selection to retire|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To participate in: West Coastline Eagles at GMHBA Coliseum, Saturday 1:45 pmWin: Finish 3rd if GWS sheds as well as quits 10-goal percentage top, fourth if GWS gains OR loses but holds onto amount top (edge circumstance they may reach second with substantial win) Lose: End Up fourth if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton shed, fifth if 3 shed, sixth if 2 drop, 7th if one sheds, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they truly turned that people up. From seeming like they were visiting build percentage as well as secure a top-four area, now the Cats require to succeed only to guarantee themselves the double chance, along with four teams hoping they shed to West Coastline so they can squeeze 4th coming from them. On the in addition edge, this is the best askew competition in present day footy, along with the Eagles losing nine straight excursions to Kardinia Playground by an average of 10+ goals. It is actually certainly not impractical to imagine the Pussy-cats gaining by that scope, as well as in combo along with also a slender GWS loss, they 'd be actually heading in to an away qualifying last vs Slot Adelaide (for the third attend 5 seasons!). Or else a succeed need to deliver all of them to the SCG. If the Pussy-cats in fact lose, they are going to easily be actually sent out right into a removal final on our predictions, completely down to 8th! Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain as well as complete 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: Complete fourth if Geelong sheds, 5th if Geelong winsLose: Complete 5th if Western side Bulldogs lose as well as Hawthorn lose AND Carlton drop as well as Fremantle drop OR win however crash to beat big percent gap, sixth if 3 of those take place, 7th if pair of take place, 8th if one takes place, miss out on finals if none happenAnalysis: Certainly not only performed they cop one more distressing reduction to the Pies, however they got the wrong group over them losing! If the Lions were entering Round 24 anticipating Port or GWS to drop, they will still possess an actual shot at the best four, however certainly Geelong doesn't lose at home to West Coast? As long as the Felines do the job, the Lions must be bound for an eradication ultimate. Beating the Bombing planes would after that guarantee all of them fifth place (which is actually the side of the bracket you desire, if it indicates steering clear of the Bulldogs and also Hawks in full week one, and most likely getting Geelong in full week 2). A surprise reduction to Essendon would certainly find Chris Fagan's edge nervously viewing on Sunday to observe how many staffs pass all of them ... technically they could possibly miss out on the eight totally, however it is actually very outlandish for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's forecast: Succeed and complete 5th, lot Carlton in a removal finalSelfish Lions captured rejecting allies|01:046. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To play: GWS Giants at Mars Arena, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: End up 4th if Geelong as well as Brisbane lose, fifth if one drops, sixth if each winLose: End up sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton and also Fremantle lose, 7th if pair of lose, 8th if one loses, skip finals if they all winAnalysis: Aggravatingly for the Bulldogs, they may still miss out on the eight, even with having the AFL's second-best percent as well as thirteen success (which nobody has actually EVER skipped the eight along with). In fact it's a quite actual possibility - they still require to function against an in-form GWS to promise their spot in September. But that's certainly not the only thing at risk the Dogs would assure on their own a home last with a triumph (most likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), but even when they keep in the eight after dropping, they can be moving to Brisbane for that elimination final. At the other edge of the sphere, there's still a tiny chance they can sneak into the leading four, though it needs West Shore to trump Geelong in Geelong, and Essendon to defeat Brisbane in Brisbane ... thereby a little opportunity. Fox Footy's forecast: Gain as well as finish sixth, 'hold' Hawthorn in an elimination final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To participate in: North Melbourne at UTAS Stadium, Saturday 4:35 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong, Brisbane and also Western Bulldogs all drop and also Carlton drops OR success yet crashes to eclipse all of them on percentage (approx. 4 objectives) 5th if three take place, sixth if 2 occur, 7th if one happens, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Fremantle drops as well as Carlton drops while remaining behind on amount, 8th if one sheds, overlook finals if both winAnalysis: Our experts would rather be actually the Hawks than the Bulldogs at the moment, because of that they have actually acquired entrusted to experience. Sam Mitchell's men are a win out of September, and also only need to have to perform versus an injury-hit Northern Melbourne that appeared dreadful versus mentioned Pet dogs on Sunday. There is actually also an incredibly small chance they slip in to the best 4 additional truthfully they'll make on their own an MCG eradication last, either against the Pets, Freo or Carlton. (The best-case circumstance is actually most likely the Dogs dropping, so the Hawks end up 6th and participate in cry.) If they are actually upset through North though, they're just like terrified as the Canines, waiting on Carlton and also Fremantle to view if they're evicted of the eight.Fox Footy's prediction: Win and complete 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in an eradication finalMagic of Hok-ball discussed|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To play: Street Kilda at Wonder Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and also Hawthorn all shed OR Hawks win but fall back Woes on portion (approx. 4 targets), fifth if 3 take place, 6th if pair of happen, 7th if one happens, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Hawthorn loses through enough to fall behind on amount AND Fremantle sheds, 8th if one takes place, typically miss finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home condition actually aided all of them out this weekend break. Fremantle's loss, incorporated along with the Blues' get West Coast, sees all of them inside the eight as well as even capable to participate in finals if they're upset by St Kilda upcoming week. (Though they would certainly be actually left behind wishing Slot to beat Freo.) Truthfully they are actually heading to wish to defeat the Saints to ensure on their own a location in September - and also to provide on their own an odds of an MCG removal final. If both the Dogs as well as Hawks drop, cry can even host that final, though our team 'd be quite stunned if the Hawks shed. Percent is actually likely to find right into play due to Carlton's massive win over West Shoreline - they might need to push the Saints to stay clear of participating in Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's prophecy: Win as well as finish 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: Finish sixth if Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and Carlton lose, 7th if 2 lose, 8th if one sheds, overlook finals if each of them winLose: Will definitely overlook finalsAnalysis: Oh terrific, another reason to loathe West Coastline. Their rivals' incapacity to defeat cry' B-team implies the Dockers are at actual threat of their Around 24 game ending up being a lifeless rubber. The equation is actually rather basic - they require a minimum of some of the Canines, Hawks or Blues to shed prior to they participate in Port. If that happens, the Dockers can easily gain their method in to September. If all three win, they'll be actually eliminated by the time they take the field. (Technically Freo can easily also record Brisbane on percentage yet it is actually exceptionally unlikely.) Fox Footy's prediction: Drop and overlook finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood may actually still play finals, yet needs to have to make up a percent space of 30+ targets to record Carlton, plus Fremantle has to lose.
