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, Saturday 7:40 pmWin or Miss: End Up 1stAnalysis: There are no reasonable scenarios where the Swans go under to gain the slight premiership. There are actually unrealistic ones, though! A 100-point loss, while Port Adelaide trumps Fremantle through one hundred factors, would do it.Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and finish 1st, host Geelong in a certifying final2. SLOT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To play: Fremantle at Optus Stadium, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Complete 2nd if GWS sheds OR triumphes and does not comprise 7-8 target amount gap, 3rd if GWS success and comprises 7-8 objective portion gapLose: Complete second if GWS drops (as well as Port aren't trumped through 7-8 goals greater than the Giants), 3rd if GWS succeeds, 4th in quite improbable case Geelong wins and also comprises huge amount gapAnalysis: The Power will possess the perk of recognizing their particular situation moving into their last game, though there's a really genuine possibility they'll be pretty much locked in to second. As well as either way they are actually visiting be actually playing in the 2nd Qualifying Final. Their amount bait GWS is approximately 7-8 goals, and also on Geelong it is actually closer to 20, so they are actually probably certainly not obtaining recorded due to the Felines. As a result if the Giants succeed, the Electrical power is going to need to gain to lock up second area - however so long as they don't acquire thrashed through a despairing Dockers edge, amount should not be actually a trouble. (If they gain through a couple of targets, GWS would need to have to win through 10 goals to capture all of them, etc) Fox Footy's prophecy: Succeed and also end up 2nd, host GWS in a qualifying final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To participate in: Western Bulldogs at Mars Stadium, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete 2nd if Port Adelaide loses OR triumphes but loses hope 7-8 goal bait percentage, 3rd if Slot Adelaide wins as well as has percentage leadLose: Complete second if Slot Adelaide is defeated by 7-8 targets much more than they are, third if Slot Adelaide wins OR drops yet holds portion lead and also Geelong loses OR triumphes and also does not make up 10-goal percentage space, fourth if Geelong victories as well as makes up 10-goal percent gapAnalysis: They're latched in to the leading 4, as well as are probably having fun in the 2nd vs third qualifying ultimate, though Geelong definitely recognizes just how to punish West Coast at GMHBA Stadium. That's the only method the Giants would drop out of participating in Port Adelaide a substantial win by the Pet cats on Saturday (our team're speaking 10+ objectives) and then a Giants reduction to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Cats don't gain large (or win in all), the Giants is going to be playing for organizing civil rights to the Second Qualifying Final. They can easily either compose a 7-8 target gap in portion to pass Slot Adelaide, or even 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 clarifies decision to resign|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To participate in: West Coastline Eagles at GMHBA Arena, Saturday 1:45 pmWin: Complete 3rd if GWS loses and also gives up 10-goal portion top, fourth if GWS wins OR loses yet keeps percentage top (edge scenario they can meet 2nd along with huge win) Lose: Finish 4th if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton lose, fifth if three lose, 6th if pair of drop, 7th if one drops, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they truly turned that people up. Coming from resembling they were going to build amount as well as lock up a top-four location, now the Cats need to have to win merely to assure on their own the double opportunity, with four staffs wishing they lose to West Shore so they can squeeze 4th coming from all of them. On the in addition side, this is the most askew matchup in modern footy, along with the Eagles shedding nine direct journeys to Kardinia Playground through an average of 10+ targets. It is actually certainly not impractical to think of the Kitties winning through that frame, and in combination along with even a narrow GWS reduction, they 'd be moving in to an away training last vs Port Adelaide (for the third time in five seasons!). Otherwise a win should deliver all of them to the SCG. If the Pet cats really shed, they will certainly easily be actually delivered in to an elimination final on our predictions, all the way to 8th! Fox Footy's forecast: Win as well as finish 4th, away to Sydney in a training final5. BRISBANE LIONS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To play: Essendon at the Gabba, Saturday 7:30 pmWin: Finish fourth if Geelong loses, 5th if Geelong winsLose: Finish fifth if Western Bulldogs lose and also Hawthorn shed and also Carlton shed AND Fremantle drop OR gain however go under to conquer huge percent space, 6th if 3 of those take place, 7th if 2 occur, 8th if one occurs, miss out on finals if none happenAnalysis: Certainly not simply performed they cop another very painful loss to the Pies, however they received the incorrect team over them shedding! If the Lions were entering into Round 24 anticipating Slot or GWS to shed, they would certainly still possess a genuine chance at the top 4, however definitely Geelong doesn't lose in your home to West Coast? Provided that the Felines do the job, the Lions ought to be bound for a removal ultimate. Beating the Bombing planes will after that guarantee all of them 5th spot (which's the side of the bracket you wish, if it suggests staying away from the Bulldogs as well as Hawks in week one, as well as very likely obtaining Geelong in full week 2). A shock loss to Essendon would observe Chris Fagan's edge nervously watching on Sunday to find the number of staffs pass all of them ... practically they can miss the 8 entirely, yet it is actually really unlikely for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain as well as end up 5th, lot Carlton in a removal finalSelfish Lions recorded rejecting allies|01:046. WESTERN BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To participate in: GWS Giants at Mars Coliseum, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong as well as Brisbane lose, 5th if one loses, sixth if both winLose: Finish sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton as well as Fremantle shed, 7th if 2 drop, 8th if one sheds, overlook finals if they all winAnalysis: Aggravatingly for the Bulldogs, they can still skip the eight, in spite of having the AFL's second-best percent and 13 victories (which no person has EVER overlooked the eight with). As a matter of fact it's a quite genuine option - they still need to have to function against an in-form GWS to ensure their spot in September. However that is actually certainly not the only trait at concern the Canines will assure themselves a home last with a success (likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), yet even when they stay in the eight after shedding, they could be heading to Brisbane for that eradication final. At the other end of the sphere, there is actually still a very small opportunity they may creep right into the best four, though it demands West Shore to trump Geelong in Geelong, and Essendon to beat Brisbane in Brisbane ... thus a tiny chance. Fox Footy's prediction: Win as well as complete sixth, 'range' Hawthorn in a removal final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To play: North Melbourne at UTAS Arena, Saturday 4:35 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong, Brisbane and also Western Bulldogs all lose as well as Carlton drops OR victories yet goes belly up to overtake all of them on percent (approx. 4 goals) 5th if three take place, 6th if two occur, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Fremantle loses as well as Carlton drops while remaining overdue on portion, 8th if one sheds, overlook finals if each winAnalysis: We prefer to be the Hawks than the Bulldogs at the moment, as a result of that they've acquired delegated to encounter. Sam Mitchell's guys are a succeed out of September, and simply require to perform versus an injury-hit Northern Melbourne that looked horrible versus pointed out Pets on Sunday. There is actually even an extremely small chance they sneak in to the best 4 additional reasonably they'll earn themselves an MCG elimination final, either against the Dogs, Freo or even Carlton. (The best-case instance is possibly the Dogs dropping, so the Hawks finish sixth and also play the Blues.) If they are actually outplayed through North though, they're just as frightened as the Pet dogs, awaiting Carlton and also Fremantle to see if they're evicted of the eight.Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and also complete 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in a removal finalMagic of Hok-ball detailed|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To participate in: St Kilda at Wonder Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Finish 4th if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs as well as Hawthorn all lose OR Hawks win however fall back Woes on percentage (approx. 4 goals), fifth if three take place, sixth if pair of happen, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Hawthorn sheds by enough to fall back on portion as well as Fremantle sheds, 8th if one occurs, typically miss finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home state definitely aided all of them out this weekend. Fremantle's loss, incorporated with the Blues' gain West Coast, finds all of them inside the eight and also also capable to participate in finals if they are actually outplayed by St Kilda upcoming full week. (Though they will be left wishing Port to trump Freo.) Genuinely they're mosting likely to intend to trump the Saints to promise themselves a location in September - as well as to provide on their own a possibility of an MCG removal ultimate. If both the Canines and Hawks lose, cry could possibly even hold that final, though our team will be actually fairly surprised if the Hawks dropped. Amount is very likely to find in to play because of Carlton's significant gain West Coastline - they might need to have to push the Saints to prevent participating in Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and also end up 8th, away to Brisbane in a removal final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To participate in: Slot Adelaide at Optus Stadium, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Complete 6th if Western Side Bulldogs, Hawthorn and also Carlton lose, 7th if two drop, 8th if one loses, overlook finals if each one of all of them winLose: Are going to overlook finalsAnalysis: Oh great, an additional reason to dislike West Shoreline. Their rivals' incapacity to defeat the Blues' B-team implies the Dockers are at true risk of their Sphere 24 game coming to be a lifeless rubber. The equation is rather easy - they need a minimum of among the Pet dogs, Hawks or even Blues to lose just before they participate in Slot. If that occurs, the Dockers can succeed their technique into September. If all three win, they'll be gotten rid of due to the time they take the area. (Technically Freo can easily additionally capture Brisbane on portion however it's remarkably not likely.) Fox Footy's forecast: Drop and skip finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood may practically still play finals, however needs to have to make up a percent space of 30+ goals to capture Carlton, plus Fremantle needs to lose.
