All times AEST.Adams to possibly miss another GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To participate in: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Sunday 7:40 pmWin or Lose: Complete 1stAnalysis: There are actually no reasonable circumstances where the Swans go under to gain the minor premiership. There are outlandish ones, though! A 100-point reduction, while Port Adelaide trumps Fremantle through 100 points, would perform it.Fox Footy's prediction: Win and also complete first, host Geelong in a training final2. PORT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To participate in: Fremantle at Optus Arena, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: End up second if GWS sheds OR victories and does not comprise 7-8 objective percent space, 3rd if GWS success and composes 7-8 objective portion gapLose: Complete second if GWS drops (and Slot may not be beaten by 7-8 objectives greater than the Giants), 3rd if GWS wins, 4th in quite not likely situation Geelong succeeds and also makes up enormous amount gapAnalysis: The Power will certainly possess the advantage of recognizing their specific scenario heading right into their ultimate game, though there's an incredibly true odds they'll be actually practically secured right into second. And regardless they are actually visiting be playing in the 2nd Qualifying Final. Their portion bait GWS is about 7-8 goals, as well as on Geelong it is actually closer to 20, so they are actually most likely certainly not getting captured due to the Kitties. Consequently if the Giants gain, the Power is going to need to have to win to lock up second spot - but just as long as they don't acquire surged by a determined Dockers edge, amount should not be actually a concern. (If they win through a couple of goals, GWS would need to succeed by 10 targets to record all of them, and so on) Fox Footy's forecast: Win and also finish second, multitude GWS in a certifying final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To participate in: Western Bulldogs at Mars Arena, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete 2nd if Port Adelaide loses OR triumphes yet quits 7-8 target bait percentage, 3rd if Slot Adelaide gains as well as keeps percent leadLose: Complete 2nd if Port Adelaide is actually defeated through 7-8 goals more than they are actually, 3rd if Port Adelaide succeeds OR drops but has percentage top and also Geelong loses OR wins and doesn't compose 10-goal amount gap, 4th if Geelong victories and also makes up 10-goal percent gapAnalysis: They are actually latched right into the best four, and are actually most likely playing in the 2nd vs third certifying ultimate, though Geelong undoubtedly understands exactly how to surge West Coastline at GMHBA Arena. That is actually the only means the Giants would quit of playing Port Adelaide an enormous win by the Cats on Saturday (we are actually chatting 10+ targets) and then a Giants reduction to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Felines do not succeed huge (or win in any way), the Giants will be actually playing for throwing liberties to the Second Qualifying Final. They can easily either comprise a 7-8 target gap in portion to pass Slot Adelaide, or simply hope Freo defeats them.Fox Footy's forecast: Drop and end up third, away to Port Adelaide in a qualifying finalZach Tuohy clarifies selection to retire|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To play: West Shoreline Eagles at GMHBA Arena, Saturday 1:45 pmWin: End up 3rd if GWS loses as well as quits 10-goal portion top, 4th if GWS wins OR drops but holds onto percentage lead (fringe case they can easily reach second with extensive win) Lose: Complete fourth if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton drop, fifth if three drop, 6th if 2 shed, 7th if one drops, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they really tightened that up. From resembling they were actually visiting develop percentage as well as lock up a top-four area, now the Pussy-cats require to win merely to ensure on their own the dual chance, with four staffs hoping they shed to West Shore so they can squeeze 4th from all of them. On the bonus side, this is actually one of the most uneven match in modern-day footy, with the Eagles losing nine direct excursions to Kardinia Park by an average of 10+ objectives. It's not unlikely to envision the Pet cats succeeding through that frame, and in mixture along with also a slender GWS loss, they 'd be actually moving in to an away certifying ultimate vs Port Adelaide (for the 3rd attend five times!). Or else a win ought to send them to the SCG. If the Cats really lose, they are going to likely be actually sent right into an elimination last on our forecasts, right up to 8th! Fox Footy's prediction: Win as well as end up fourth, away to Sydney in a training final5. BRISBANE COUGARS (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: Complete 5th if Western side Bulldogs drop as well as Hawthorn drop AND Carlton shed as well as Fremantle lose OR win yet go bust to conquer very large percentage space, sixth if three of those happen, 7th if 2 happen, 8th if one occurs, miss finals if none happenAnalysis: Not only did they cop one more distressing reduction to the Pies, yet they obtained the wrong crew above them losing! If the Lions were actually going into Round 24 hoping for Port or even GWS to drop, they will still possess a genuine shot at the top four, but undoubtedly Geelong does not lose at home to West Shore? Provided that the Pet cats do the job, the Lions must be actually bound for an eradication final. Beating the Bombing planes would after that ensure them 5th place (which's the side of the bracket you yearn for, if it means steering clear of the Bulldogs as well as Hawks in full week one, and also probably obtaining Geelong in full week 2). A surprise reduction to Essendon would certainly observe Chris Fagan's side nervously seeing on Sunday to observe the number of crews pass them ... actually they might miss out on the 8 totally, however it is incredibly impractical for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and also complete 5th, host Carlton in an elimination finalSelfish Lions recorded steering clear of colleagues|01:046. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To play: GWS Giants at Mars Stadium, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: End up 4th if Geelong and Brisbane lose, fifth if one sheds, 6th if each winLose: End up sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton and Fremantle lose, 7th if two lose, 8th if one loses, overlook finals if they all winAnalysis: Annoyingly for the Bulldogs, they may still miss the eight, even with possessing the AFL's second-best percentage and also thirteen wins (which nobody has ever before skipped the 8 along with). As a matter of fact it's a very actual opportunity - they still require to perform versus an in-form GWS to ensure their area in September. Yet that's not the only thing at risk the Pet dogs would certainly assure on their own a home last with a success (very likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), yet even if they stay in the eight after losing, they could be moving to Brisbane for that eradication ultimate. At the various other end of the spectrum, there is actually still a very small possibility they can slip in to the top 4, though it needs West Shoreline to trump Geelong in Geelong, and Essendon to defeat Brisbane in Brisbane ... therefore a small chance. Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and finish sixth, 'host' Hawthorn in an eradication final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To play: North Melbourne at UTAS Stadium, Saturday 4:35 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong, Brisbane and Western Bulldogs all shed and also Carlton loses OR triumphes however loses big to surpass all of them on percentage (approx. 4 goals) 5th if 3 occur, 6th if pair of happen, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Fremantle sheds as well as Carlton sheds while remaining behind on percentage, 8th if one sheds, miss out on finals if each winAnalysis: Our company prefer to be actually the Hawks than the Bulldogs today, because of who they've acquired delegated to deal with. Sam Mitchell's males are actually a gain out of September, and also simply need to function against an injury-hit Northern Melbourne that appeared terrible against claimed Pet dogs on Sunday. There is actually even a really small chance they creep into the best 4 even more truthfully they'll earn on their own an MCG eradication final, either versus the Canines, Freo or even Carlton. (The best-case circumstance is most likely the Pets shedding, so the Hawks finish sixth as well as play the Blues.) If they're outplayed through North though, they're equally as frightened as the Dogs, waiting on Carlton and also Fremantle to find if they're tossed out of the eight.Fox Footy's forecast: Win as well as end up 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in an eradication finalMagic of Hok-ball revealed|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To play: St Kilda at Wonder Arena, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Finish fourth if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs as well as Hawthorn all shed OR Hawks gain however fall back Woes on percentage (approx. 4 objectives), 5th if 3 happen, 6th if 2 occur, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Hawthorn sheds by sufficient to fall behind on portion and also Fremantle sheds, 8th if one takes place, otherwise miss out on finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home state definitely aided all of them out this weekend break. Fremantle's reduction, blended along with cry' gain West Coastline, views them inside the 8 and even capable to play finals if they are actually outplayed by St Kilda next week. (Though they will be left behind praying for Port to beat Freo.) Genuinely they are actually going to wish to beat the Saints to guarantee themselves an area in September - as well as to provide themselves an opportunity of an MCG elimination ultimate. If both the Dogs as well as Hawks drop, the Blues can also organize that ultimate, though our team will be actually fairly stunned if the Hawks shed. Portion is actually probably to follow into play because of Carlton's significant sway West Coast - they might require to push the Saints to stay clear of playing Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's forecast: Win and 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 6th if Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and also Carlton lose, 7th if 2 lose, 8th if one drops, miss out on finals if each of all of them winLose: Will definitely skip finalsAnalysis: Oh excellent, an additional factor to dislike West Shore. Their opponents' lack of ability to defeat cry' B-team indicates the Dockers go to real risk of their Round 24 activity ending up being a dead rubber. The equation is actually pretty easy - they need at least one of the Pets, Hawks or even Woes to drop just before they play Port. If that takes place, the Dockers can easily gain their method right into September. If all 3 succeed, they'll be actually dealt with by the time they get the field. (Technically Freo can easily likewise record Brisbane on percentage yet it's exceptionally not likely.) Fox Footy's prediction: Lose and miss out on finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood can actually still play finals, however needs to make up a portion space of 30+ targets to capture Carlton, plus Fremantle has to shed.
