All times AEST.Adams to likely overlook another GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To play: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Saturday 7:40 pmWin or even Miss: Finish 1stAnalysis: There are actually no realistic cases where the Swans crash to win the minor premiership. There are actually unrealistic ones, though! A 100-point reduction, while Port Adelaide trumps Fremantle through one hundred factors, would certainly perform it.Fox Footy's prediction: Win as well as finish first, lot Geelong in a qualifying final2. PORT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To participate in: Fremantle at Optus Stadium, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Complete 2nd if GWS sheds OR wins as well as does not make up 7-8 target portion gap, 3rd if GWS victories as well as comprises 7-8 goal portion gapLose: Complete 2nd if GWS drops (and Slot may not be beaten through 7-8 goals much more than the Giants), third if GWS succeeds, 4th in incredibly unexpected instance Geelong gains and also comprises enormous percentage gapAnalysis: The Power will possess the perk of understanding their exact instance heading in to their last game, though there's a really real chance they'll be pretty much latched in to second. And either way they're mosting likely to be actually playing in the 2nd Qualifying Final. Their percent lead on GWS is around 7-8 goals, as well as on Geelong it is actually closer to twenty, so they're possibly certainly not receiving caught due to the Cats. For that reason if the Giants win, the Power will require to gain to secure second spot - but just as long as they don't get punished through a despairing Dockers edge, amount should not be a problem. (If they succeed through a couple of objectives, GWS would require to succeed by 10 goals to record them, and so on) Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain as well as end up second, host GWS in a training final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To participate in: Western Bulldogs at Mars Coliseum, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: End up second if Slot Adelaide drops OR victories yet gives up 7-8 objective bait percent, 3rd if Port Adelaide wins and also holds percentage leadLose: End up second if Slot Adelaide is actually defeated through 7-8 targets much more than they are, 3rd if Port Adelaide wins OR drops yet has percent top AND Geelong drops OR triumphes and also does not make up 10-goal percent space, 4th if Geelong success and also makes up 10-goal percent gapAnalysis: They are actually secured in to the top 4, and are actually probably having fun in the second vs 3rd certifying final, though Geelong definitely recognizes exactly how to punish West Coastline at GMHBA Coliseum. That is actually the only method the Giants would certainly leave of playing Slot Adelaide a gigantic win due to the Cats on Sunday (our experts are actually speaking 10+ objectives) and after that a Giants loss to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Pussy-cats don't win huge (or gain whatsoever), the Giants will definitely be actually playing for hosting civil rights to the Second Qualifying Final. They may either make up a 7-8 goal void in portion to pass Port Adelaide, or even only hope Freo trumps them.Fox Footy's forecast: Drop as well as complete third, away to Port Adelaide in a training finalZach Tuohy reveals selection to resign|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To participate in: West Coastline Eagles at GMHBA Stadium, Saturday 1:45 pmWin: Finish third if GWS sheds and also surrenders 10-goal percentage top, 4th if GWS wins OR sheds but holds onto portion lead (edge scenario they can easily reach 2nd with huge win) Lose: Complete fourth if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton lose, fifth if three lose, sixth if 2 lose, 7th if one drops, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they actually screwed that one up. From appearing like they were actually heading to build percentage as well as lock up a top-four spot, today the Felines need to succeed simply to guarantee themselves the dual opportunity, along with 4 teams hoping they lose to West Coastline so they can pinch fourth from all of them. On the bonus side, this is the best uneven match in modern-day footy, along with the Eagles losing 9 direct travels to Kardinia Park through approximately 10+ objectives. It's certainly not unlikely to picture the Cats winning through that frame, and in mixture along with also a narrow GWS loss, they would certainly be actually moving into an away qualifying final vs Slot Adelaide (for the 3rd time in 5 seasons!). Typically a win ought to send all of them to the SCG. If the Pet cats really shed, they will certainly possibly be delivered in to an elimination final on our predictions, completely down to 8th! Fox Footy's prediction: Gain as well as complete fourth, away to Sydney in a qualifying final5. BRISBANE COUGARS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To play: Essendon at the Gabba, Sunday 7:30 pmWin: Finish 4th if Geelong sheds, 5th if Geelong winsLose: Complete fifth if Western side Bulldogs drop and also Hawthorn lose AND Carlton lose AND Fremantle drop OR win however crash to overcome big amount space, sixth if 3 of those happen, 7th if 2 occur, 8th if one takes place, miss out on finals if none happenAnalysis: Not just performed they police officer another agonizing reduction to the Pies, but they acquired the incorrect group over all of them losing! If the Lions were entering Round 24 anticipating Slot or GWS to drop, they would certainly still have a true chance at the top 4, but surely Geelong doesn't shed in the house to West Shoreline? As long as the Felines get the job done, the Lions ought to be actually bound for an eradication ultimate. Trumping the Bombing planes would certainly after that promise them fifth place (and also's the side of the bracket you desire, if it implies avoiding the Bulldogs and also Hawks in full week one, as well as likely acquiring Geelong in full week two). A surprise loss to Essendon will view Chris Fagan's edge nervously checking out on Sunday to view the number of crews pass them ... practically they could possibly skip the eight totally, yet it is really impractical for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's prediction: Win and also end up 5th, multitude Carlton in a removal finalSelfish Cougars recorded keeping away from colleagues|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 drop, 5th if one sheds, 6th if both winLose: Finish 6th if Hawthorn, Carlton and Fremantle drop, 7th if 2 lose, 8th if one sheds, skip finals if they all winAnalysis: Aggravatingly for the Bulldogs, they can easily still miss the eight, even with having the AFL's second-best percent as well as 13 wins (which no one has actually ever before missed out on the 8 with). In fact it's a very real possibility - they still need to have to take care of business against an in-form GWS to guarantee their location in September. Yet that is actually certainly not the only trait at concern the Dogs will assure on their own a home last along with a victory (very likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), yet even when they keep in the eight after losing, they can be moving to Brisbane for that elimination last. At the various other end of the range, there is actually still a little chance they can slip right into the leading 4, though it calls for West Coastline to defeat Geelong in Geelong, and also Essendon to beat Brisbane in Brisbane ... thus a tiny opportunity. Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and complete sixth, 'host' Hawthorn in an eradication final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To play: North Melbourne at UTAS Stadium, Saturday 4:35 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong, Brisbane and Western Bulldogs all shed AND Carlton drops OR triumphes but goes bust to overtake them on percentage (approx. 4 goals) fifth if 3 take place, sixth if two take place, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Fremantle sheds AND Carlton drops while keeping behind on percent, 8th if one sheds, miss out on finals if each winAnalysis: Our team prefer to be actually the Hawks than the Bulldogs at this moment, due to who they have actually received left to deal with. Sam Mitchell's guys are actually a gain out of September, and also simply need to have to take care of business against an injury-hit N. Melbourne who appeared terrible versus said Pet dogs on Sunday. There's also an extremely long shot they creep into the leading 4 even more genuinely they'll earn on their own an MCG elimination final, either against the Pet dogs, Freo or even Carlton. (The best-case scenario is perhaps the Pets shedding, so the Hawks end up 6th and play cry.) If they are actually upset through North though, they're just like frightened as the Canines, waiting for Carlton as well as Fremantle to view if they're tossed out of the eight.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain as well as end up 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in an elimination finalMagic of Hok-ball explained|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To participate in: Street Kilda at Wonder Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Finish fourth if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and also Hawthorn all shed OR Hawks gain however fall back Woes on percent (approx. 4 goals), 5th if 3 take place, 6th if 2 happen, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Hawthorn sheds through enough to fall behind on percentage as well as Fremantle sheds, 8th if one takes place, otherwise miss finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home state definitely helped them out this weekend break. Fremantle's loss, mixed along with the Blues' win over West Coast, observes them inside the eight as well as also capable to play finals if they are actually upset by Street Kilda upcoming week. (Though they will be actually left behind wishing Port to trump Freo.) Reasonably they are actually heading to want to defeat the Saints to ensure on their own a location in September - and also to provide on their own a possibility of an MCG removal last. If both the Pets as well as Hawks shed, cry might even organize that last, though our company will be actually pretty surprised if the Hawks dropped. Percentage is actually likely to follow right into play thanks to Carlton's substantial win over West Coastline - they might need to have to push the Saints to stay clear of participating in Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain and also finish 8th, away to Brisbane in an eradication final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To participate in: Slot Adelaide at Optus Stadium, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish sixth if Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton drop, 7th if pair of shed, 8th if one drops, overlook finals if each of them winLose: Will definitely miss out on finalsAnalysis: Oh wonderful, yet another main reason to detest West Coast. Their opponents' lack of ability to trump the Blues' B-team indicates the Dockers are at actual threat of their Round 24 activity coming to be a dead rubber. The formula is actually rather basic - they require at least among the Pets, Hawks or even Blues to lose prior to they participate in Port. If that takes place, the Dockers may succeed their means in to September. If all 3 win, they'll be done away with by the time they take the industry. (Technically Freo can likewise capture Brisbane on percentage however it is actually incredibly improbable.) Fox Footy's forecast: Shed as well as miss finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood can actually still participate in finals, yet requires to compose a percentage gap of 30+ targets to catch Carlton, plus Fremantle needs to drop.
