All times AEST.Adams to potentially miss one more GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To play: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Sunday 7:40 pmWin or Lose: Complete 1stAnalysis: There are no practical scenarios where the Swans go under to gain the small premiership. There are impractical ones, though! A 100-point reduction, while Slot Adelaide defeats Fremantle by 100 factors, will do it.Fox Footy's prediction: Win and also complete first, host Geelong in a certifying final2. SLOT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To participate in: Fremantle at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish second if GWS sheds OR success as well as does not comprise 7-8 target amount void, 3rd if GWS victories and composes 7-8 objective percent gapLose: End up second if GWS drops (as well as Port may not be defeated through 7-8 targets greater than the Giants), 3rd if GWS wins, fourth in really improbable situation Geelong wins and also comprises gigantic portion gapAnalysis: The Electrical power will definitely have the perk of understanding their exact situation moving right into their ultimate game, though there's a really actual chance they'll be essentially locked in to second. As well as either way they are actually heading to be playing in the 2nd Qualifying Final. Their percentage bait GWS is roughly 7-8 goals, and also on Geelong it's closer to twenty, so they are actually perhaps not acquiring captured by the Pussy-cats. Consequently if the Giants win, the Power is going to require to succeed to secure second location - but provided that they do not get punished by a hopeless Dockers side, percentage should not be actually a trouble. (If they win by a number of targets, GWS will need to gain by 10 objectives to record them, etc) Fox Footy's prediction: Win as well as complete second, lot GWS in a certifying final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To play: Western Bulldogs at Mars Coliseum, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Finish second if Port Adelaide loses OR triumphes yet quits 7-8 target lead on percentage, 3rd if Slot Adelaide wins and keeps amount leadLose: Finish second if Port Adelaide is beaten by 7-8 goals much more than they are, 3rd if Slot Adelaide gains OR sheds yet holds portion top as well as Geelong loses OR triumphes and doesn't comprise 10-goal percent gap, fourth if Geelong triumphes and comprises 10-goal percentage gapAnalysis: They are actually latched right into the leading 4, as well as are very likely having fun in the 2nd vs 3rd certifying ultimate, though Geelong undoubtedly recognizes how to whip West Shoreline at GMHBA Coliseum. That is actually the only means the Giants would certainly leave of playing Slot Adelaide a gigantic succeed by the Cats on Saturday (we are actually chatting 10+ targets) and then a Giants reduction to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Kitties do not gain big (or even succeed whatsoever), the Giants will certainly be actually playing for throwing civil rights to the Second Qualifying Final. They can easily either compose a 7-8 target void in amount to pass Port Adelaide, or even only really hope Freo defeats them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Shed as well as complete 3rd, away to Port Adelaide in a certifying finalZach Tuohy describes selection to retire|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To play: West Coast Eagles at GMHBA Arena, Sunday 1:45 pmWin: Complete 3rd if GWS sheds and also loses hope 10-goal percentage lead, fourth if GWS wins OR drops but holds onto amount top (edge situation they may achieve second with large win) Lose: Finish 4th if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and also Carlton drop, 5th if three drop, sixth if pair of lose, 7th if one loses, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they actually turned that one up. From seeming like they were actually going to create amount and lock up a top-four spot, now the Pussy-cats require to win simply to guarantee themselves the double chance, with 4 crews hoping they drop to West Shore so they can easily pinch fourth coming from them. On the in addition edge, this is the most unbalanced competition in modern-day footy, along with the Eagles shedding 9 straight trips to Kardinia Playground through approximately 10+ targets. It is actually certainly not unrealistic to think of the Cats succeeding through that margin, as well as in combination with also a slim GWS loss, they 'd be moving in to an away qualifying ultimate vs Slot Adelaide (for the third time in five seasons!). Typically a gain should deliver them to the SCG. If the Pussy-cats really lose, they are going to possibly be sent into an eradication ultimate on our prophecies, right down to 8th! Fox Footy's prediction: Win and also complete 4th, away to Sydney in a qualifying final5. BRISBANE COUGARS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To participate in: Essendon at the Gabba, Sunday 7:30 pmWin: Finish 4th if Geelong drops, 5th if Geelong winsLose: Finish fifth if Western side Bulldogs lose AND Hawthorn lose as well as Carlton lose and also Fremantle drop OR win however fail to eliminate large percent space, 6th if 3 of those occur, 7th if 2 happen, 8th if one takes place, miss out on finals if none happenAnalysis: Certainly not only performed they police officer yet another painful reduction to the Pies, however they acquired the wrong staff above all of them shedding! If the Lions were entering into Round 24 anticipating Slot or GWS to lose, they will still possess a real shot at the top 4, yet surely Geelong doesn't shed in the home to West Shore? Provided that the Cats do the job, the Lions must be actually tied for a removal last. Defeating the Bombing planes will at that point assure all of them fifth spot (and that's the edge of the bracket you want, if it suggests preventing the Bulldogs and Hawks in week one, as well as very likely acquiring Geelong in week 2). A shock reduction to Essendon would certainly view Chris Fagan's side nervously enjoying on Sunday to observe how many staffs pass them ... practically they might overlook the 8 entirely, yet it is incredibly impractical for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain and also end up 5th, bunch Carlton in an elimination finalSelfish Lions caught shunning teammates|01:046. WESTERN BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To play: GWS Giants at Mars Arena, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Finish 4th if Geelong and Brisbane drop, 5th if one drops, 6th if each winLose: Finish sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton as well as Fremantle shed, 7th if pair of shed, 8th if one sheds, miss out on finals if they all winAnalysis: Irritatingly for the Bulldogs, they may still miss the 8, despite having the AFL's second-best percent and thirteen wins (which no person has actually ever before missed the 8 with). As a matter of fact it's a very actual opportunity - they still need to function against an in-form GWS to guarantee their area in September. However that's not the only trait at concern the Canines would assure themselves a home final along with a victory (most likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), yet even if they remain in the 8 after dropping, they can be heading to Brisbane for that removal last. At the various other edge of the sphere, there's still a tiny odds they may sneak into the best four, though it needs West Coastline to trump Geelong in Geelong, and also Essendon to defeat Brisbane in Brisbane ... thus a small chance. Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and complete sixth, 'range' Hawthorn in an elimination final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To play: North Melbourne at UTAS Arena, Sunday 4:35 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong, Brisbane as well as Western Bulldogs all drop as well as Carlton loses OR wins yet goes bust to eclipse them on portion (approx. 4 targets) fifth if three take place, sixth if two happen, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Fremantle sheds AND Carlton loses while keeping overdue on portion, 8th if one drops, skip finals if both winAnalysis: Our company would rather be the Hawks than the Bulldogs today, due to that they have actually obtained delegated face. Sam Mitchell's guys are a win away from September, and also simply require to take care of business versus an injury-hit Northern Melbourne that appeared dreadful versus stated Pets on Sunday. There is actually even a quite long shot they slip in to the top four additional reasonably they'll earn themselves an MCG eradication ultimate, either versus the Dogs, Freo or Carlton. (The best-case instance is actually possibly the Pets shedding, so the Hawks finish 6th and also participate in cry.) If they're upset through North though, they are actually just like intimidated as the Canines, waiting on Carlton and Fremantle to view if they are actually tossed out of the eight.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and also finish 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in an elimination finalMagic of Hok-ball revealed|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To participate in: St Kilda at Wonder Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Finish 4th if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and also Hawthorn all drop OR Hawks win however fall behind Woes on percentage (approx. 4 objectives), 5th if 3 occur, sixth if pair of occur, 7th if one happens, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Hawthorn loses through sufficient to fall back on percent and also Fremantle loses, 8th if one occurs, typically miss finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home condition definitely assisted them out this weekend break. Fremantle's loss, incorporated with cry' draw West Coastline, observes them inside the eight and also also capable to play finals if they're outplayed by St Kilda following full week. (Though they will be actually left behind praying for Port to defeat Freo.) Reasonably they're visiting would like to trump the Saints to promise on their own a location in September - and also to offer themselves an odds of an MCG removal final. If both the Pet dogs and Hawks shed, the Blues might also throw that ultimate, though we will be actually fairly shocked if the Hawks dropped. Percentage is actually most likely ahead in to play with the help of Carlton's huge gain West Shore - they may need to have to push the Saints to stay away from participating in Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's prediction: Win as well as end up 8th, away to Brisbane in a removal final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To play: Slot Adelaide at Optus Arena, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: End up 6th if Western Side Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton lose, 7th if two lose, 8th if one sheds, overlook finals if each one of all of them winLose: Will definitely miss out on finalsAnalysis: Oh terrific, another reason to detest West Shore. Their opponents' incapacity to beat cry' B-team means the Dockers are at actual threat of their Sphere 24 video game coming to be a dead rubber. The equation is fairly easy - they need to have at the very least among the Dogs, Hawks or Woes to lose just before they play Slot. If that takes place, the Dockers may win their method in to September. If all three succeed, they'll be actually gotten rid of by the time they get the industry. (Technically Freo can easily additionally record Brisbane on percent however it's incredibly unlikely.) Fox Footy's prophecy: Lose and also skip finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood can practically still play finals, but needs to have to comprise a percentage space of 30+ goals to record Carlton, plus Fremantle has to shed.
