SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To play: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Sunday 7:40 pmWin or even Miss: Complete 1stAnalysis: There are actually no realistic situations where the Swans go bust to gain the small premiership. There are outlandish ones, though! A 100-point reduction, while Port Adelaide beats Fremantle through one hundred points, will carry out it.Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and also complete 1st, multitude Geelong in a certifying final2. SLOT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To participate in: Fremantle at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Complete second if GWS sheds OR victories and does not make up 7-8 target percentage gap, 3rd if GWS success and also comprises 7-8 goal percent gapLose: Complete second if GWS sheds (and also Port aren't defeated by 7-8 goals much more than the Giants), 3rd if GWS succeeds, fourth in incredibly not likely situation Geelong wins as well as comprises substantial percent gapAnalysis: The Power is going to possess the benefit of knowing their specific case heading into their ultimate game, though there's a really actual possibility they'll be actually essentially latched right into 2nd. And regardless they're visiting be playing in the Second Qualifying Final. Their percent lead on GWS is actually roughly 7-8 targets, and also on Geelong it's closer to twenty, so they're most likely certainly not obtaining recorded by the Pet cats. For that reason if the Giants succeed, the Electrical power is going to need to win to lock up 2nd place - but provided that they do not receive thrashed by a determined Dockers edge, portion should not be actually a problem. (If they win through a number of goals, GWS will require to win through 10 objectives to catch all of them, and so on) Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain and also finish 2nd, host GWS in a training final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To play: Western Bulldogs at Mars Arena, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: End up second if Port Adelaide drops OR triumphes but loses hope 7-8 target bait percent, 3rd if Slot Adelaide wins and has amount leadLose: End up 2nd if Slot Adelaide is defeated through 7-8 targets much more than they are, third if Slot Adelaide gains OR drops yet holds percentage lead AND Geelong loses OR wins and also doesn't make up 10-goal percent void, 4th if Geelong triumphes as well as makes up 10-goal percentage gapAnalysis: They're secured into the leading four, and also are actually likely having fun in the 2nd vs 3rd training last, though Geelong undoubtedly recognizes exactly how to whip West Shore at GMHBA Arena. That's the only way the Giants would leave of playing Slot Adelaide a massive succeed due to the Cats on Saturday (our experts're talking 10+ targets) and then a Giants loss to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Pussy-cats don't gain big (or succeed at all), the Giants will certainly be betting organizing legal rights to the 2nd Qualifying Final. They may either comprise a 7-8 target space in amount to pass Slot Adelaide, or even merely really hope Freo defeats them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Shed as well as complete 3rd, away to Slot Adelaide in a certifying finalZach Tuohy describes choice to retire|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To play: West Shore Eagles at GMHBA Stadium, Sunday 1:45 pmWin: Finish third if GWS loses as well as loses hope 10-goal percentage top, 4th if GWS wins OR loses yet keeps portion lead (edge scenario they can reach 2nd with huge win) Lose: Finish fourth if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and also Carlton lose, 5th if three drop, sixth if two lose, 7th if one drops, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they definitely screwed that people up. From looking like they were actually going to develop percent and also lock up a top-four area, now the Felines need to have to win just to promise on their own the double opportunity, with 4 teams hoping they shed to West Coastline so they can easily squeeze 4th from all of them. On the bonus side, this is the best askew competition in modern-day footy, with the Eagles dropping 9 straight trips to Kardinia Playground by an average of 10+ objectives. It's certainly not impractical to visualize the Cats succeeding through that margin, and in combo along with even a slender GWS loss, they would certainly be moving into an away certifying last vs Slot Adelaide (for the 3rd time in five times!). Typically a win need to deliver them to the SCG. If the Cats in fact drop, they will definitely almost certainly be actually sent in to an elimination last on our predictions, right to 8th! Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and also complete 4th, away to Sydney in a training final5. BRISBANE COUGARS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To play: Essendon at the Gabba, Saturday 7:30 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong sheds, 5th if Geelong winsLose: Finish 5th if Western side Bulldogs drop AND Hawthorn drop and also Carlton shed AND Fremantle shed OR win yet go belly up to eliminate large portion space, sixth if three of those occur, 7th if pair of take place, 8th if one takes place, skip finals if none happenAnalysis: Not merely performed they police officer an additional agonizing loss to the Pies, but they received the incorrect team over all of them losing! If the Lions were going into Shot 24 anticipating Slot or even GWS to shed, they 'd still possess a true chance at the best four, however absolutely Geelong does not lose at home to West Shoreline? Just as long as the Felines get the job done, the Cougars should be actually bound for a removal last. Defeating the Bombers would after that guarantee them fifth place (which is actually the edge of the brace you yearn for, if it suggests staying away from the Bulldogs and also Hawks in week one, and also very likely obtaining Geelong in week two). A shock reduction to Essendon will find Chris Fagan's edge nervously seeing on Sunday to view the number of crews pass them ... practically they can miss out on the eight entirely, but it is incredibly unlikely for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and finish 5th, bunch Carlton in a removal finalSelfish Lions caught steering clear of colleagues|01:046. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To play: GWS Giants at Mars Coliseum, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Finish 4th if Geelong as well as Brisbane lose, fifth if one drops, 6th if each winLose: End up 6th if Hawthorn, Carlton as well as Fremantle lose, 7th if two lose, 8th if one loses, miss finals if they all winAnalysis: Annoyingly for the Bulldogs, they can still miss the 8, in spite of possessing the AFL's second-best portion and also 13 success (which nobody has actually EVER skipped the 8 with). In reality it's a very true opportunity - they still need to have to take care of business against an in-form GWS to guarantee their location in September. But that's not the only trait at risk the Dogs will assure on their own a home final with a victory (very likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), however even when they remain in the 8 after shedding, they can be heading to Brisbane for that eradication ultimate. At the other end of the sphere, there is actually still a very small odds they can easily sneak right into the leading four, though it needs West Coast to defeat Geelong in Geelong, and Essendon to beat Brisbane in Brisbane ... thus a little opportunity. Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and complete sixth, 'host' Hawthorn in a removal final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To play: North Melbourne at UTAS Arena, Sunday 4:35 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong, Brisbane and also Western Bulldogs all shed and also Carlton loses OR triumphes however goes under to overtake all of them on percentage (approx. 4 objectives) 5th if three occur, 6th if pair of take place, 7th if one happens, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Fremantle loses and also Carlton loses while staying behind on portion, 8th if one sheds, miss finals if both winAnalysis: We would rather be the Hawks than the Bulldogs right now, as a result of who they've acquired delegated to deal with. Sam Mitchell's men are a win away from September, and also just need to have to perform versus an injury-hit N. Melbourne that looked terrible against claimed Pets on Sunday. There's even a very long shot they sneak into the top four additional realistically they'll make on their own an MCG removal final, either against the Canines, Freo or even Carlton. (The best-case scenario is actually possibly the Pets shedding, so the Hawks finish sixth and also participate in the Blues.) If they're upset through North though, they're just like frightened as the Canines, awaiting Carlton and also Fremantle to view if they are actually evicted of the eight.Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain and also finish 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in a removal finalMagic of Hok-ball described|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To participate in: Street Kilda at Marvel Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: End up 4th if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and also Hawthorn all shed OR Hawks gain yet fall behind Woes on percent (approx. 4 objectives), 5th if three take place, sixth if pair of take place, 7th if one happens, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Hawthorn drops by enough to fall back on portion AND Fremantle sheds, 8th if one occurs, typically miss finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home condition truly aided them out this weekend break. Fremantle's reduction, combined with the Blues' win over West Shore, views them inside the 8 and even able to play finals if they are actually upset through St Kilda upcoming week. (Though they will be left behind wishing Port to defeat Freo.) Truthfully they are actually heading to desire to trump the Saints to guarantee themselves a location in September - as well as to offer themselves a possibility of an MCG removal ultimate. If both the Canines and Hawks drop, the Blues might also organize that final, though our team would certainly be fairly shocked if the Hawks shed. Percentage is probably to come right into play thanks to Carlton's large gain West Coast - they might require to push the Saints to stay away from participating in Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain as well as finish 8th, away to Brisbane in an eradication final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To participate in: Slot Adelaide at Optus Arena, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: End up 6th if Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and Carlton shed, 7th if 2 lose, 8th if one loses, skip finals if each one of all of them winLose: Will certainly skip finalsAnalysis: Oh wonderful, another main reason to detest West Shoreline. Their opponents' lack of ability to trump cry' B-team implies the Dockers are at true danger of their Sphere 24 video game ending up being a lifeless rubber. The formula is rather simple - they need at the very least some of the Pets, Hawks or Blues to lose prior to they participate in Slot. If that takes place, the Dockers may succeed their way right into September. If all 3 win, they'll be actually removed due to the opportunity they get the industry. (Technically Freo may also record Brisbane on percent however it's exceptionally unexpected.) Fox Footy's prediction: Shed and miss out on finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood may theoretically still participate in finals, but needs to make up an amount space of 30+ objectives to catch Carlton, plus Fremantle must shed.
