All times AEST.Adams to potentially overlook an additional GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To participate in: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Sunday 7:40 pmWin or even Lose: End Up 1stAnalysis: There are actually no realistic scenarios where the Swans crash to win the small premiership. There are actually unrealistic ones, though! A 100-point loss, while Port Adelaide beats Fremantle through one hundred factors, would certainly carry out it.Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and also end up first, bunch Geelong in a certifying final2. SLOT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To play: Fremantle at Optus Arena, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish second if GWS loses OR wins as well as doesn't compose 7-8 objective amount void, 3rd if GWS victories as well as makes up 7-8 goal portion gapLose: End up second if GWS loses (as well as Slot aren't beaten by 7-8 objectives more than the Giants), third if GWS succeeds, fourth in incredibly extremely unlikely situation Geelong wins and also comprises huge percentage gapAnalysis: The Electrical power will definitely have the perk of understanding their exact circumstance heading into their last video game, though there's an extremely actual odds they'll be more or less secured into 2nd. And in either case they are actually visiting be actually playing in the 2nd Qualifying Final. Their portion lead on GWS is around 7-8 objectives, and on Geelong it's closer to 20, so they are actually possibly not obtaining captured due to the Pet cats. For that reason if the Giants succeed, the Power will definitely need to gain to lock up second location - yet as long as they don't obtain whipped by a hopeless Dockers edge, amount should not be a problem. (If they succeed by a number of targets, GWS will need to have to gain through 10 objectives to capture them, etc) Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and finish second, lot GWS in a qualifying final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To play: Western Bulldogs at Mars Arena, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Finish second if Slot Adelaide drops OR success but gives up 7-8 target bait portion, 3rd if Slot Adelaide wins and holds percent leadLose: Finish second if Port Adelaide is beaten by 7-8 goals more than they are actually, third if Slot Adelaide succeeds OR drops but keeps amount lead AND Geelong loses OR victories and also does not compose 10-goal percent space, 4th if Geelong triumphes and also composes 10-goal portion gapAnalysis: They are actually locked in to the leading 4, and also are probably having fun in the 2nd vs 3rd certifying final, though Geelong certainly recognizes how to thrash West Coast at GMHBA Arena. That's the only way the Giants will quit of participating in Port Adelaide a massive gain by the Pet cats on Sunday (we are actually talking 10+ targets) and after that a Giants loss to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Kitties don't gain large (or gain at all), the Giants will be playing for holding legal rights to the 2nd Qualifying Final. They can either make up a 7-8 objective void in portion to pass Port Adelaide, or even just wish Freo trumps them.Fox Footy's prediction: Lose and also end up third, away to Slot Adelaide in a certifying finalZach Tuohy reveals selection to retire|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To play: West Coast Eagles at GMHBA Coliseum, Sunday 1:45 pmWin: End up third if GWS loses and quits 10-goal percentage top, 4th if GWS gains OR loses but holds onto portion top (edge circumstance they can easily meet 2nd along with gigantic win) Lose: Finish fourth if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and Carlton lose, 5th if 3 lose, sixth if pair of shed, 7th if one loses, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they actually turned that up. Coming from looking like they were mosting likely to develop percent and also secure a top-four area, now the Pussy-cats require to win just to assure themselves the double possibility, with 4 teams hoping they drop to West Shoreline so they can easily squeeze 4th from all of them. On the plus edge, this is actually the best askew competition in present day footy, with the Eagles dropping nine direct trips to Kardinia Park through approximately 10+ goals. It is actually certainly not unlikely to envision the Pet cats succeeding by that frame, and also in combination along with even a narrow GWS reduction, they would certainly be heading into an away training final vs Port Adelaide (for the third time in five periods!). Or else a gain need to send them to the SCG. If the Pet cats actually drop, they will definitely possibly be sent into an elimination final on our forecasts, completely up to 8th! Fox Footy's prediction: Gain as well as finish fourth, away to Sydney in a certifying final5. BRISBANE LIONS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To play: Essendon at the Gabba, Sunday 7:30 pmWin: End up 4th if Geelong drops, 5th if Geelong winsLose: Finish 5th if Western side Bulldogs drop AND Hawthorn lose as well as Carlton shed as well as Fremantle lose OR gain but go under to overcome big percentage void, 6th if three of those occur, 7th if two occur, 8th if one happens, skip finals if none happenAnalysis: Not just did they police officer an additional agonizing loss to the Pies, but they acquired the wrong staff over all of them dropping! If the Lions were actually going into Shot 24 hoping for Slot or GWS to shed, they will still possess a real shot at the best four, but undoubtedly Geelong doesn't drop in your home to West Shoreline? As long as the Pet cats finish the job, the Cougars must be tied for an eradication final. Beating the Bombers would then promise all of them fifth spot (and that is actually the edge of the brace you yearn for, if it means preventing the Bulldogs and also Hawks in full week one, as well as very likely acquiring Geelong in week two). A shock reduction to Essendon would certainly view Chris Fagan's side nervously watching on Sunday to see the amount of groups pass all of them ... practically they could possibly miss the eight totally, yet it is actually extremely unlikely for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and also complete 5th, bunch Carlton in an eradication finalSelfish Lions recorded rejecting teammates|01:046. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To participate in: GWS Giants at Mars Arena, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong as well as Brisbane drop, 5th if one loses, 6th if each winLose: End up 6th if Hawthorn, Carlton and also Fremantle shed, 7th if two drop, 8th if one sheds, skip finals if they all winAnalysis: Aggravatingly for the Bulldogs, they may still miss out on the eight, even with possessing the AFL's second-best portion and also 13 victories (which nobody has actually EVER missed the eight with). In reality it's an incredibly real probability - they still require to function against an in-form GWS to assure their area in September. But that's certainly not the only factor at risk the Pets would certainly promise on their own a home final with a victory (probably at the MCG vs Hawthorn), however even though they remain in the eight after shedding, they may be moving to Brisbane for that removal final. At the other end of the range, there's still a very small chance they may creep in to the top four, though it requires West Coastline to trump Geelong in Geelong, and also Essendon to beat Brisbane in Brisbane ... therefore a tiny odds. Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and also finish 6th, 'hold' Hawthorn in an elimination final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To participate in: North Melbourne at UTAS Coliseum, Sunday 4:35 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong, Brisbane as well as Western Bulldogs all drop and also Carlton drops OR victories yet goes belly up to eclipse them on amount (approx. 4 objectives) fifth if 3 occur, 6th if pair of occur, 7th if one happens, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Fremantle drops AND Carlton sheds while staying overdue on percentage, 8th if one drops, skip finals if both winAnalysis: Our team would rather be actually the Hawks than the Bulldogs immediately, because of that they've got delegated encounter. Sam Mitchell's men are actually a win away from September, as well as only require to perform against an injury-hit N. Melbourne who looked horrendous against claimed Canines on Sunday. There's also a very long shot they slip right into the top four more reasonably they'll earn themselves an MCG removal last, either against the Pet dogs, Freo or Carlton. (The best-case situation is actually possibly the Canines dropping, so the Hawks end up 6th and also play the Blues.) If they are actually outplayed through North though, they're just as intimidated as the Pet dogs, waiting for Carlton and Fremantle to observe if they're kicked out of the eight.Fox Footy's forecast: Gain as well as end up 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in an eradication finalMagic of Hok-ball described|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To participate in: Street Kilda at Marvel Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Finish fourth if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and Hawthorn all lose OR Hawks gain however fall behind Blues on percent (approx. 4 targets), fifth if three take place, sixth if pair of happen, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Hawthorn drops by sufficient to fall back on amount AND Fremantle sheds, 8th if one takes place, or else overlook finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home state truly aided all of them out this weekend break. Fremantle's loss, incorporated with cry' draw West Coast, observes them inside the 8 and also even capable to play finals if they are actually upset through St Kilda following week. (Though they will be actually left praying for Slot to trump Freo.) Reasonably they are actually heading to wish to beat the Saints to promise themselves a place in September - and to give themselves an opportunity of an MCG elimination ultimate. If both the Pets and also Hawks shed, cry can even throw that final, though our company will be actually quite surprised if the Hawks shed. Amount is very likely to follow into play because of Carlton's large win over West Shore - they might need to push the Saints to prevent participating in Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's forecast: Win and also end up 8th, away to Brisbane in an eradication final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To play: Port Adelaide at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish 6th if Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and also Carlton drop, 7th if two shed, 8th if one sheds, miss finals if each one of all of them winLose: Will definitely miss out on finalsAnalysis: Oh excellent, another reason to dislike West Shore. Their competitors' lack of ability to beat the Blues' B-team implies the Dockers go to actual threat of their Round 24 game coming to be a lifeless rubber. The equation is pretty straightforward - they need to have at least one of the Pets, Hawks or Blues to shed prior to they play Port. If that happens, the Dockers can easily win their means in to September. If all three win, they'll be removed by the time they get the industry. (Technically Freo can also record Brisbane on percent yet it is actually extremely unlikely.) Fox Footy's forecast: Lose and skip finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood may theoretically still play finals, yet needs to have to compose a percentage space of 30+ targets to catch Carlton, plus Fremantle has to lose.
