All times AEST.Adams to potentially overlook one more GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To participate in: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Saturday 7:40 pmWin or even Lose: Complete 1stAnalysis: There are actually no realistic situations where the Swans crash to win the minor premiership. There are unrealistic ones, though! A 100-point reduction, while Port Adelaide beats Fremantle by one hundred aspects, would carry out it.Fox Footy's forecast: Win as well as end up 1st, bunch Geelong in a certifying final2. SLOT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To participate in: Fremantle at Optus Arena, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish second if GWS sheds OR wins and does not compose 7-8 target portion gap, 3rd if GWS victories as well as composes 7-8 objective amount gapLose: End up second if GWS loses (and Port aren't beaten by 7-8 goals more than the Giants), third if GWS wins, 4th in very unexpected situation Geelong wins and comprises large percentage gapAnalysis: The Energy will certainly possess the benefit of recognizing their specific scenario moving into their last game, though there is actually an incredibly true odds they'll be basically locked into 2nd. And also either way they are actually going to be playing in the 2nd Qualifying Final. Their portion lead on GWS is actually around 7-8 goals, and on Geelong it is actually closer to 20, so they're probably not acquiring caught by the Kitties. For that reason if the Giants gain, the Power will need to have to succeed to secure 2nd location - however so long as they do not obtain punished by a determined Dockers side, percent shouldn't be actually an issue. (If they gain by a couple of targets, GWS will need to gain by 10 objectives to capture all of them, etc) Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain and finish second, host GWS in a certifying final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To play: Western Bulldogs at Mars Coliseum, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete 2nd if Port Adelaide drops OR triumphes but loses hope 7-8 objective lead on amount, 3rd if Slot Adelaide gains and keeps percentage leadLose: End up 2nd if Slot Adelaide is beaten through 7-8 goals greater than they are actually, 3rd if Port Adelaide wins OR sheds yet holds percentage lead AND Geelong loses OR triumphes and also does not comprise 10-goal amount void, 4th if Geelong success and also comprises 10-goal portion gapAnalysis: They are actually locked right into the best four, as well as are probably having fun in the 2nd vs third qualifying final, though Geelong absolutely knows exactly how to thrash West Coastline at GMHBA Coliseum. That's the only method the Giants will leave of playing Port Adelaide a substantial win due to the Felines on Sunday (our company are actually chatting 10+ targets) and then a Giants reduction to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Pet cats don't gain significant (or even win at all), the Giants will certainly be playing for organizing liberties to the Second Qualifying Final. They can either comprise a 7-8 goal void in amount to pass Slot Adelaide, or even simply hope Freo defeats them.Fox Footy's prediction: Drop and finish third, away to Port Adelaide in a qualifying finalZach Tuohy explains selection to retire|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To play: West Shoreline Eagles at GMHBA Arena, Saturday 1:45 pmWin: Finish 3rd if GWS drops as well as loses hope 10-goal percent lead, fourth if GWS wins OR loses yet keeps portion top (edge instance they can reach 2nd along with huge gain) Lose: Finish fourth if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton drop, 5th if 3 shed, sixth if pair of lose, 7th if one drops, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they actually turned that a person up. Coming from looking like they were going to construct amount as well as secure a top-four spot, right now the Kitties need to have to win only to assure on their own the double possibility, along with four crews wishing they drop to West Shoreline so they can pinch 4th from them. On the bonus edge, this is actually the most unequal match in present day footy, along with the Eagles dropping 9 direct vacations to Kardinia Park by around 10+ objectives. It is actually certainly not impractical to envision the Kitties gaining by that scope, and also in mix with even a slender GWS reduction, they 'd be actually moving right into an away certifying last vs Slot Adelaide (for the third time in 5 periods!). Typically a gain ought to deliver them to the SCG. If the Pet cats in fact drop, they will probably be sent out into an elimination ultimate on our predictions, right down to 8th! Fox Footy's prediction: Win as well as complete fourth, away to Sydney in a certifying final5. BRISBANE LIONS (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 side Bulldogs shed and also Hawthorn drop as well as Carlton shed as well as Fremantle drop OR win however fail to get rid of large portion void, 6th if three of those take place, 7th if two occur, 8th if one occurs, overlook finals if none happenAnalysis: Certainly not just performed they cop one more very painful reduction to the Pies, however they obtained the inappropriate crew above them shedding! If the Lions were actually going into Round 24 expecting Port or GWS to lose, they will still possess an actual shot at the best four, but undoubtedly Geelong does not drop in your home to West Shore? So long as the Pet cats get the job done, the Cougars should be actually tied for an eradication final. Trumping the Bombing planes would after that promise them fifth place (which is actually the edge of the brace you wish, if it suggests staying clear of the Bulldogs and also Hawks in full week one, and likely obtaining Geelong in full week 2). A surprise loss to Essendon would view Chris Fagan's edge nervously viewing on Sunday to find the number of teams pass all of them ... technically they can skip the eight entirely, however it is actually quite unlikely for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's forecast: Succeed and also complete 5th, multitude Carlton in an eradication finalSelfish Lions captured keeping away from teammates|01:046. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To play: GWS Giants at Mars Stadium, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong and also Brisbane drop, fifth if one loses, 6th if each winLose: Complete sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton and Fremantle drop, 7th if 2 drop, 8th if one drops, overlook finals if they all winAnalysis: Irritatingly for the Bulldogs, they may still overlook the eight, regardless of possessing the AFL's second-best portion and also 13 success (which nobody has actually ever before overlooked the eight with). In fact it is actually an incredibly genuine possibility - they still need to take care of business against an in-form GWS to guarantee their place in September. Yet that's not the only thing at risk the Pets would ensure themselves a home final with a triumph (likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), however even though they keep in the eight after losing, they may be heading to Brisbane for that eradication last. At the other edge of the range, there's still a small chance they can easily sneak into the leading 4, though it demands West Shore to beat Geelong in Geelong, and Essendon to trump Brisbane in Brisbane ... thereby a tiny possibility. Fox Footy's prophecy: Win as well as complete 6th, 'hold' Hawthorn in an elimination final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To participate in: North Melbourne at UTAS Stadium, Sunday 4:35 pmWin: Finish 4th if Geelong, Brisbane as well as Western Bulldogs all lose AND Carlton sheds OR wins however goes belly up to overtake all of them on percent (approx. 4 targets) fifth if 3 take place, 6th if 2 happen, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Fremantle drops as well as Carlton sheds while keeping overdue on portion, 8th if one loses, miss finals if each winAnalysis: Our company would rather be the Hawks than the Bulldogs at this moment, as a result of who they have actually obtained left to face. Sam Mitchell's males are a gain off of September, and only need to perform against an injury-hit North Melbourne who looked horrible against mentioned Pets on Sunday. There's also a very small chance they creep right into the best 4 additional reasonably they'll make on their own an MCG elimination last, either versus the Pet dogs, Freo or Carlton. (The best-case circumstance is probably the Dogs shedding, so the Hawks finish sixth and play cry.) If they are actually upset by North though, they are actually equally intimidated as the Pets, waiting on Carlton and also Fremantle to find if they're evicted of the eight.Fox Footy's prediction: Win as well as complete 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in an eradication finalMagic of Hok-ball discussed|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To play: St Kilda at Wonder Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Finish fourth if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs as well as Hawthorn all shed OR Hawks win however fall back Blues on portion (approx. 4 targets), 5th if three take place, 6th if two occur, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: Complete 7th if Hawthorn loses through good enough to fall back on percent AND Fremantle loses, 8th if one takes place, or else skip finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home state really assisted all of them out this weekend break. Fremantle's reduction, combined with cry' get West Coastline, sees them inside the eight and even able to play finals if they're outplayed by Street Kilda following full week. (Though they will be actually left behind praying for Port to beat Freo.) Realistically they're visiting desire to trump the Saints to promise themselves a place in September - as well as to offer on their own an odds of an MCG removal last. If both the Pets as well as Hawks drop, the Blues could possibly also throw that last, though our team 'd be fairly shocked if the Hawks shed. Portion is actually most likely to find in to play because of Carlton's substantial draw West Coastline - they may need to have to pump the Saints to avoid playing Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and also end up 8th, away to Brisbane in an elimination final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To participate in: Port Adelaide at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Complete 6th if Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and also Carlton drop, 7th if two shed, 8th if one loses, miss out on finals if each one of them winLose: Will overlook finalsAnalysis: Oh excellent, another factor to loathe West Shoreline. Their competitors' incapacity to beat the Blues' B-team means the Dockers go to actual risk of their Around 24 game ending up being a dead rubber. The formula is fairly simple - they need to have at least some of the Pet dogs, Hawks or Blues to drop just before they participate in Port. If that occurs, the Dockers can easily win their means right into September. If all three succeed, they'll be eliminated by the opportunity they get the industry. (Technically Freo can also capture Brisbane on amount but it's extremely improbable.) Fox Footy's prophecy: Drop as well as skip finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood may technically still participate in finals, however needs to compose an amount space of 30+ targets to record Carlton, plus Fremantle must drop.
