All times AEST.Adams to potentially skip another GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To play: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Sunday 7:40 pmWin or even Lose: End Up 1stAnalysis: There are actually no practical cases where the Swans fail to gain the minor premiership. There are actually impractical ones, though! A 100-point loss, while Port Adelaide trumps Fremantle through one hundred factors, would perform it.Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and also complete 1st, host Geelong in a training final2. PORT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To participate in: Fremantle at Optus Arena, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish second if GWS sheds OR victories as well as doesn't make up 7-8 goal portion space, 3rd if GWS success as well as composes 7-8 target portion gapLose: End up 2nd if GWS loses (and also Port may not be defeated by 7-8 objectives more than the Giants), 3rd if GWS gains, 4th in really not likely case Geelong gains and makes up gigantic amount gapAnalysis: The Energy will certainly have the benefit of understanding their precise case heading right into their final game, though there is actually an incredibly true opportunity they'll be pretty much locked right into second. And in any case they're going to be playing in the Second Qualifying Final. Their portion bait GWS is actually about 7-8 targets, as well as on Geelong it is actually closer to 20, so they're most likely certainly not getting captured by the Cats. Consequently if the Giants gain, the Energy will definitely require to win to lock up 2nd spot - but so long as they don't get whipped through a desperate Dockers edge, percent should not be actually a problem. (If they gain through a couple of goals, GWS would certainly require to gain through 10 objectives to record all of them, and so on) Fox Footy's prediction: Win and also finish 2nd, lot GWS in a training final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To participate in: Western Bulldogs at Mars Coliseum, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Finish 2nd if Slot Adelaide drops OR success however gives up 7-8 goal lead on portion, 3rd if Port Adelaide wins and also holds percent leadLose: Finish 2nd if Slot Adelaide is defeated through 7-8 goals greater than they are actually, 3rd if Slot Adelaide wins OR sheds yet keeps percent lead and also Geelong loses OR triumphes and doesn't make up 10-goal percent void, 4th if Geelong victories and also makes up 10-goal amount gapAnalysis: They are actually latched in to the top 4, and also are most likely playing in the 2nd vs 3rd certifying ultimate, though Geelong definitely understands just how to whip West Coast at GMHBA Coliseum. That's the only technique the Giants would leave of participating in Port Adelaide an extensive gain by the Felines on Saturday (our company're chatting 10+ targets) and then a Giants loss to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Cats do not gain huge (or even succeed whatsoever), the Giants is going to be playing for hosting civil rights to the 2nd Qualifying Final. They can easily either make up a 7-8 goal void in portion to pass Slot Adelaide, or just really hope Freo trumps them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Drop and complete third, away to Slot Adelaide in a certifying finalZach Tuohy discusses selection to resign|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To participate in: West Shore Eagles at GMHBA Stadium, Saturday 1:45 pmWin: Finish 3rd if GWS drops as well as quits 10-goal percent lead, fourth if GWS gains OR loses however keeps portion top (fringe instance they can easily meet 2nd along with substantial win) Lose: Complete fourth if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton drop, 5th if 3 lose, sixth if 2 shed, 7th if one drops, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they actually turned that people up. Coming from resembling they were actually visiting develop amount and secure a top-four location, today the Pussy-cats need to gain merely to promise on their own the double chance, with 4 groups wishing they drop to West Coast so they may pinch 4th coming from them. On the bonus side, this is actually the most lopsided match in modern-day footy, along with the Eagles losing nine direct excursions to Kardinia Playground through approximately 10+ targets. It is actually not unrealistic to picture the Pet cats winning by that margin, and in mix with also a narrow GWS reduction, they will be heading in to an away qualifying final vs Port Adelaide (for the 3rd time in 5 times!). Or else a gain ought to send them to the SCG. If the Pet cats really lose, they will possibly be actually delivered into a removal final on our prophecies, all the way up to 8th! Fox Footy's forecast: Win and also complete fourth, away to Sydney in a qualifying final5. BRISBANE COUGARS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To play: Essendon at the Gabba, Saturday 7:30 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong loses, fifth if Geelong winsLose: Complete 5th if Western Bulldogs drop as well as Hawthorn drop as well as Carlton drop as well as Fremantle lose OR win yet go under to beat huge amount gap, sixth if three of those occur, 7th if pair of occur, 8th if one happens, overlook finals if none happenAnalysis: Certainly not merely did they cop an additional very painful reduction to the Pies, yet they acquired the incorrect crew above all of them losing! If the Lions were entering into Shot 24 wishing for Slot or even GWS to lose, they 'd still possess a true shot at the top 4, but definitely Geelong doesn't drop in the home to West Shore? Just as long as the Pussy-cats finish the job, the Cougars need to be actually tied for an elimination final. Beating the Bombing planes will after that promise all of them fifth area (which is actually the side of the brace you wish, if it means steering clear of the Bulldogs and also Hawks in full week one, and probably getting Geelong in week pair of). A shock reduction to Essendon would certainly view Chris Fagan's side nervously enjoying on Sunday to find the number of groups pass all of them ... practically they might overlook the 8 totally, however it is actually very outlandish for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain and also finish 5th, multitude Carlton in an elimination finalSelfish Lions caught avoiding allies|01:046. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To participate in: GWS Giants at Mars Arena, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: End up 4th if Geelong and Brisbane drop, fifth if one loses, 6th if both winLose: Finish sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton and Fremantle lose, 7th if two drop, 8th if one loses, overlook finals if they all winAnalysis: Aggravatingly for the Bulldogs, they may still overlook the eight, despite possessing the AFL's second-best amount and 13 success (which nobody has EVER missed the 8 along with). Actually it is actually an extremely genuine possibility - they still need to have to take care of business against an in-form GWS to ensure their spot in September. However that is actually not the only factor at concern the Pets will guarantee themselves a home last with a victory (likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), yet regardless of whether they remain in the eight after losing, they could be moving to Brisbane for that elimination ultimate. At the various other end of the spectrum, there's still a small opportunity they can easily slip right into the top 4, though it demands West Coast to beat Geelong in Geelong, and also Essendon to defeat Brisbane in Brisbane ... therefore a very small chance. Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and also finish 6th, 'host' Hawthorn in an elimination final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To play: North Melbourne at UTAS Stadium, Saturday 4:35 pmWin: End up 4th if Geelong, Brisbane and Western Bulldogs all drop as well as Carlton loses OR success yet crashes to surpass them on portion (approx. 4 objectives) fifth if 3 occur, 6th if 2 occur, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Fremantle sheds and also Carlton sheds while staying overdue on amount, 8th if one drops, overlook finals if both winAnalysis: Our company would rather be actually the Hawks than the Bulldogs at this moment, due to that they've acquired delegated encounter. Sam Mitchell's males are a succeed away from September, as well as just need to have to perform against an injury-hit N. Melbourne that looked awful against pointed out Dogs on Sunday. There is actually also an extremely small chance they sneak right into the best 4 more genuinely they'll earn themselves an MCG elimination last, either against the Dogs, Freo or even Carlton. (The best-case instance is actually perhaps the Dogs shedding, so the Hawks complete sixth and also participate in cry.) If they're upset by North though, they are actually just as intimidated as the Pets, expecting Carlton and Fremantle to see if they are actually tossed out of the eight.Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and also end up 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in a removal finalMagic of Hok-ball detailed|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To play: St Kilda at Marvel Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Finish 4th if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and Hawthorn all shed OR Hawks gain yet fall behind Woes on portion (approx. 4 goals), fifth if 3 happen, 6th if 2 take place, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Hawthorn drops by sufficient to fall back on amount AND Fremantle loses, 8th if one occurs, otherwise skip finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home condition actually helped them out this weekend. Fremantle's reduction, blended with the Blues' sway West Shore, finds all of them inside the eight as well as even able to play finals if they are actually upset by Street Kilda upcoming full week. (Though they 'd be actually left praying for Port to trump Freo.) Realistically they're mosting likely to wish to trump the Saints to ensure on their own an area in September - and to give themselves a chance of an MCG removal ultimate. If both the Dogs and also Hawks shed, cry could even throw that ultimate, though our experts would certainly be fairly stunned if the Hawks dropped. Amount is probably to find in to play with the help of Carlton's huge sway West Coast - they may require to push the Saints to steer clear of playing Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's forecast: Win as well as complete 8th, away to Brisbane in an eradication final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To participate in: Slot Adelaide at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: End up sixth if Western Side Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton drop, 7th if pair of lose, 8th if one sheds, skip finals if each one of all of them winLose: Are going to miss finalsAnalysis: Oh wonderful, one more main reason to hate West Coastline. Their competitors' incapability to defeat the Blues' B-team implies the Dockers go to real risk of their Round 24 game ending up being a dead rubber. The formula is fairly basic - they need to have a minimum of among the Dogs, Hawks or even Blues to drop before they play Slot. If that happens, the Dockers may succeed their method right into September. If all 3 win, they'll be eliminated due to the opportunity they get the field. (Technically Freo can easily also capture Brisbane on portion yet it is actually extremely not likely.) Fox Footy's prophecy: Drop and overlook finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood may actually still participate in finals, but needs to compose a portion void of 30+ objectives to capture Carlton, plus Fremantle has to drop.
