Perpetuity AEST.Adams to likely skip yet another GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To participate in: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Saturday 7:40 pmWin or Miss: End Up 1stAnalysis: There are actually no practical cases where the Swans crash to win the small premiership. There are unlikely ones, though! A 100-point loss, while Port Adelaide defeats Fremantle by 100 points, will carry out it.Fox Footy's forecast: Win and complete first, multitude Geelong in a training final2. SLOT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To play: Fremantle at Optus Arena, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish 2nd if GWS drops OR success as well as doesn't compose 7-8 objective portion void, 3rd if GWS victories and also comprises 7-8 target portion gapLose: Complete 2nd if GWS loses (and Port aren't beaten through 7-8 targets greater than the Giants), third if GWS gains, fourth in quite unlikely instance Geelong succeeds and also comprises extensive percent gapAnalysis: The Energy will possess the benefit of knowing their specific circumstance moving into their last video game, though there's an incredibly true chance they'll be basically secured in to 2nd. As well as in any case they are actually mosting likely to be playing in the 2nd Qualifying Final. Their portion lead on GWS is actually approximately 7-8 targets, as well as on Geelong it is actually closer to twenty, so they are actually possibly not receiving recorded due to the Pet cats. Consequently if the Giants win, the Electrical power is going to need to succeed to secure 2nd location - yet just as long as they don't receive punished through a determined Dockers side, portion shouldn't be actually a concern. (If they win through a number of targets, GWS would need to win by 10 goals to capture them, etc) Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain and complete 2nd, bunch GWS in a training 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 victories but loses hope 7-8 target bait percentage, 3rd if Port Adelaide gains as well as holds portion leadLose: End up second if Slot Adelaide is beaten by 7-8 objectives greater than they are, 3rd if Slot Adelaide wins OR loses however has portion lead AND Geelong sheds OR wins and does not compose 10-goal percent space, fourth if Geelong triumphes and composes 10-goal amount gapAnalysis: They're locked in to the leading four, and are actually very likely playing in the 2nd vs third certifying final, though Geelong absolutely knows just how to whip West Coast at GMHBA Coliseum. That's the only technique the Giants would leave of participating in Port Adelaide an extensive succeed by the Kitties on Saturday (we are actually talking 10+ goals) and after that a Giants loss to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Pussy-cats don't succeed huge (or win in any way), the Giants will certainly be actually playing for organizing liberties to the Second Qualifying Final. They can easily either make up a 7-8 objective gap in percentage to pass Slot Adelaide, or simply wish Freo beats them.Fox Footy's prediction: Lose as well as end up third, away to Port Adelaide in a training finalZach Tuohy reveals choice to resign|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To participate in: West Shore Eagles at GMHBA Coliseum, Saturday 1:45 pmWin: Finish third if GWS sheds and loses hope 10-goal percent lead, 4th if GWS gains OR drops but keeps portion lead (edge scenario they can meet second with substantial gain) Lose: End Up fourth if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton drop, fifth if three shed, sixth if two shed, 7th if one drops, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they really tightened that one up. Coming from resembling they were going to develop percent and lock up a top-four place, today the Pussy-cats need to succeed just to ensure on their own the dual possibility, with 4 staffs hoping they lose to West Shoreline so they can easily squeeze 4th from them. On the plus edge, this is actually one of the most uneven competition in contemporary footy, with the Eagles shedding nine direct journeys to Kardinia Park through approximately 10+ targets. It's certainly not unrealistic to think of the Felines succeeding by that frame, as well as in combination with even a narrow GWS loss, they 'd be moving in to an away qualifying ultimate vs Slot Adelaide (for the third time in 5 times!). Otherwise a succeed need to send them to the SCG. If the Pet cats really lose, they are going to easily be actually delivered right into an eradication final on our predictions, right to 8th! Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain and also end up fourth, away to Sydney in a qualifying final5. BRISBANE LIONS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To play: Essendon at the Gabba, Sunday 7:30 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong drops, fifth if Geelong winsLose: Finish fifth if Western Bulldogs drop as well as Hawthorn lose AND Carlton lose as well as Fremantle shed OR gain but go belly up to overcome big amount void, sixth if 3 of those occur, 7th if pair of happen, 8th if one happens, skip finals if none happenAnalysis: Certainly not simply did they police an additional unpleasant reduction to the Pies, however they acquired the wrong group over all of them shedding! If the Lions were entering Round 24 hoping for Port or even GWS to lose, they would certainly still possess a true shot at the top 4, however definitely Geelong doesn't drop in the house to West Shore? Provided that the Pussy-cats finish the job, the Lions should be tied for a removal last. Beating the Bombing planes would certainly at that point promise them 5th place (which's the edge of the brace you really want, if it means staying away from the Bulldogs as well as Hawks in week one, as well as most likely receiving Geelong in full week two). A shock loss to Essendon will see Chris Fagan's side nervously enjoying on Sunday to find the amount of crews pass them ... technically they could miss out on the 8 entirely, yet it is actually very unrealistic for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's forecast: Win and end up 5th, multitude Carlton in an eradication finalSelfish Lions recorded rejecting colleagues|01:046. WESTERN BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To play: GWS Giants at Mars Stadium, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong and Brisbane drop, fifth if one sheds, sixth if both winLose: Complete 6th if Hawthorn, Carlton and Fremantle shed, 7th if 2 drop, 8th if one sheds, miss out on finals if they all winAnalysis: Annoyingly for the Bulldogs, they can still miss the 8, in spite of possessing the AFL's second-best percent as well as 13 victories (which no person has actually EVER overlooked the eight with). Actually it's an extremely actual opportunity - they still need to perform against an in-form GWS to guarantee their place in September. Yet that is actually certainly not the only thing at risk the Pet dogs will guarantee themselves a home ultimate along with a victory (probably at the MCG vs Hawthorn), but even though they stay in the eight after losing, they might be moving to Brisbane for that removal final. At the various other edge of the range, there is actually still a small opportunity they may creep right into the best four, though it needs West Shore to trump Geelong in Geelong, as well as Essendon to beat Brisbane in Brisbane ... hence a tiny opportunity. Fox Footy's prediction: Win and also end up 6th, 'hold' Hawthorn in an eradication final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To participate in: North Melbourne at UTAS Coliseum, Sunday 4:35 pmWin: Finish fourth if Geelong, Brisbane and Western Bulldogs all drop as well as Carlton sheds OR success but crashes to eclipse all of them on percentage (approx. 4 objectives) 5th if 3 occur, sixth if two occur, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Fremantle sheds and also Carlton drops while keeping overdue on amount, 8th if one sheds, miss finals if each winAnalysis: Our team prefer to be actually the Hawks than the Bulldogs immediately, as a result of who they've got delegated to face. Sam Mitchell's males are actually a succeed off of September, as well as only require to take care of business versus an injury-hit N. Melbourne that looked terrible against claimed Canines on Sunday. There's also a quite long shot they sneak in to the best four even more truthfully they'll earn themselves an MCG elimination last, either against the Canines, Freo or Carlton. (The best-case case is probably the Dogs dropping, so the Hawks finish sixth and also play the Blues.) If they're upset through North though, they're just as scared as the Canines, waiting on Carlton and also Fremantle to see if they're rejected of the eight.Fox Footy's forecast: Win as well as finish 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in an elimination finalMagic of Hok-ball clarified|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To participate in: Street Kilda at Marvel Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: End up fourth if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and Hawthorn all shed OR Hawks win yet fall behind Blues on percent (approx. 4 objectives), fifth if three happen, sixth if 2 occur, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Hawthorn sheds through enough to fall back on percent and also Fremantle sheds, 8th if one occurs, otherwise miss out on finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home condition really assisted them out this weekend break. Fremantle's reduction, mixed with cry' sway West Shore, sees them inside the eight and even capable to participate in finals if they are actually outplayed by St Kilda following full week. (Though they will be left behind wishing Port to trump Freo.) Genuinely they are actually mosting likely to wish to defeat the Saints to ensure on their own a spot in September - as well as to offer themselves an opportunity of an MCG removal final. If both the Dogs and Hawks lose, cry might even throw that last, though we 'd be actually fairly shocked if the Hawks dropped. Amount is very likely to follow into play due to Carlton's substantial get West Coastline - they may need to push the Saints to stay clear of playing Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and complete 8th, away to Brisbane in an eradication final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To play: Port Adelaide at Optus Arena, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: End up sixth if Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and also Carlton drop, 7th if pair of lose, 8th if one drops, miss out on finals if every one of all of them winLose: Will definitely overlook finalsAnalysis: Oh great, yet another factor to dislike West Shore. Their competitors' inability to defeat cry' B-team means the Dockers are at real risk of their Round 24 game coming to be a dead rubber. The formula is actually pretty simple - they need at the very least among the Dogs, Hawks or even Blues to shed before they participate in Slot. If that occurs, the Dockers can easily win their technique in to September. If all 3 succeed, they'll be actually gotten rid of due to the opportunity they get the area. (Technically Freo can easily also capture Brisbane on portion however it is actually extremely unlikely.) Fox Footy's prophecy: Lose as well as skip finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood may theoretically still play finals, yet needs to have to make up an amount space of 30+ goals to record Carlton, plus Fremantle has to shed.
