BRISBANE LIONS (13-6-1, 125.1%) Recently: Rated 1st, def St Kilda by 85 ptsThis full week: GWS Giants at the Gabba, Sunday 1:45 pm2. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (12-8, 122.4%) Last week: Ranked second, def Melbourne by 51 ptsThis week: Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pmWith the Swans falling off a high cliff, if we must predict a Grand Final today, this would be it. It may certainly not even be possible - if the Bulldogs can not crack the leading 4, they might be on an inescapable clash in a prelim. But in a pair of video games that our company believed were potential fruit peelings, both they as well as Brisbane were dominant. The Dogs' protection is impressive at this moment despite all their personnel concerns, No. 2 for factors made it possible for as well as No. 1 for factors enabled coming from turnovers over the final six full weeks, while the Lions have actually elevated because department over that period at the same time (as well as they severely needed to have to). Provided how effectively Brisbane are going you actually have to wonder, will they be actually the utterly dominant banner favourite at the moment if they had not copped plenty of ACL personal injuries? To be within this posture provided those blows is incredibly impressive, as well as the Bulldogs are actually as near to a significant banner challenger as they have actually been for years. What we have actually know over the last handful of seasons is that the AFL's efforts to take affordable equilibrium imply staffs may truly start mid-season and also rise in to the premiership race - we have to cease eliminating proficient lists when they start slowly.Kingy unleashes on 'startling' Swans|03:523. SYDNEY SWANS (14-6, 126.1%) Recently: Ranked 3rd, lost to Slot Adelaide by 112 ptsNo matter where you appear, Sunday night was embarrassingly inadequate. There are actually a few comparables to THIS kind of loss for an ultimate premier, however none of them were this negative. Actually no V/AFL premier has actually dropped an activity through much more than one hundred factors that time, and the biggest reduction through an ultimate premier in the AFL time was actually Port Adelaide receiving pumped through 92 points versus the Kangaroos in Round 8, 2004. The bigger issue is that this isn't pretty much the last two weeks over the last six they're 17th for contended things, 18th for groundball receives, 18th for clearances, 17th for points from turn over differential and 15th for pressure score. A blowout loss will definitely blow those stats out too but they possess nothing like a premier's profile page since the beginning of July. Therefore why perform our team still have them third? Well you don't rest a million games very clear atop the step ladder for no cause perhaps the rest of the AFL has actually discovered all of them out however our team still have some peace of mind the Swans can discover something close to their finest. And they ought to still complete top pair of, which sets all of them up and also possible.This week: Collingwood at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmLongmire hits back at "self-seeking" reviews|01:004. SLOT ADELAIDE (13-7, 113.6%) Last week: Positioned 9th, def Sydney by 112 ptsUnfortunately for the Electrical power, when you win an activity through THAT much, the account is constantly concerning the shedding group and just how the heck they were that poor. Thus allow's offer Slot some should have approval, considering that they are genuinely looking like a top-four staff today, as well as may be major! Over the final 6 full weeks they're No. 2 in the AFL for aspects scored, No. 1 for aspects against, No. 3 for contested properties and also No. 3 for clearances - yes the magnitude of the Sydney gain tosses those statistics out a little bit, yet they have actually precisely found some true form. And also if they have actually closed the gap between where they were actually, during that 5th to 8th brace, down end of the top 4 they're genuinely in the prelim last ethnicity. Which would be actually a good result provided the standard ambiance of disappointment this period has typically held.This full week: Melbourne at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm5. FREMANTLE (12-7-1, 116.7%) Last week: Rated 4th, lost to Essendon through 1 ptIt need to be actually obtaining discouraging for Dockers enthusiasts - their group has dropped four games they led at three-quarter-time this year, 2 more than anyone else. And also it would've been a helpful win over the Bombing planes too, given the Swans' loss previously on the weekend break. Regardless of them needing to deal with three staffs resting above all of them on the ladder over the last 3 weeks our company are actually certainly not too anxious they really need to succeed their two continuing to be home video games, which will suffice to participate in finals, and also even on thirteen and a fifty percent wins their exceptional percentage will really perform some really good holding off Essendon. This isn't the Freo of the past - they are actually No. 1 for factors racked up over the last 6 full weeks, as well as it is actually the very first time given that 2013 they have actually been actually No. 1 in the over any kind of six-week period.This week: Geelong at Optus Stadium, Saturday 4:35 pmEmmett handed restriction for dangerous take on|00:226. GWS GIANTS (13-7, 111.2%) Recently: Placed 8th, def Hawthorn through 2 ptsThey looked no place near it via three one-fourths versus the Hawks, yet at that point told every person of the market value of celebrities. Toby Greene is pretty great, it appears. Possible Coleman victor Jesse Hogan has actually been actually great for 18 months. And also even Brent Daniels, among their even more underrated superstars in the course of their current results, was a large think about the comeback along with a monstrous 12 last-quarter fingertips. Provided the Lions' protective absentees is there some opportunity Hogan and also the team find the Brisbane back 6 and also take a major upset on Saturday? They're gon na require to win another activity to play finals footy (and it could even be actually strict on 14 success) so they might also acquire it done ASAP.This full week: Brisbane Lions at the Gabba, Saturday 1:45 pmKingsley kindles healthy and balanced GWS settings|02:167. CARLTON (12-8, 112.1%) Recently: Rated 5th, lost to Collingwood through 3 ptsWe are actually going to keep caring about cry until they oblige our hand, because there is actually still a great deal going their means. Yes they've dropped four of their last five games, however three of those were actually simply through a number of goals, and also last Saturday night was actually virtually made a decision through a zing. Maybe extra notably they are actually still the No. 1 crew in the AFL for points coming from turn over differential - one of the most crucial scoring source. A massive 19 of the last 20 teams to rank No. 1 in that stat have actually created a preparatory ultimate or better. They're predisposed, given that they're 16th for aspects coming from allowances over the last 6 weeks, but you 'd rather be turnover-focused (as they are this year) than stoppage-focused (as they were in 2013). It would be close to a catastrophe if this team missed the eight, offered the assumptions as well as where they were actually just a month back, but if they shed to the Hawks the probability is actually live.This week: Hawthorn at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm8. GEELONG (13-7, 108.9%) Last week: Ranked 6th, def Adelaide through 5 ptsFunny how the Cats are actually both quite well-placed in a strict finals race and also offering our company much less peace of mind in their quality simultaneously. The margin perhaps should not have actually been actually rather that tight versus Adelaide, however it was, and we most likely need to have to quit discussing Kardinia Playground as a barrier - offered they are actually 5-3 in the house, 2 of those victories obtaining solitary finger margins. However once again, they are actually well-placed on 13 victories and also along with West Coastline in the house ahead in the last around. Squeeze a draw the Dockers or even St Kilda before that, as well as they're effectively and also definitely risk-free in the 8. There are actually still some explanations for confidence, like Patrick Dangerfield discovering kind and the midfield executing quite possibly total versus the Crows, plus the defence has stood more than the final 6 weeks (No. 5 for points yielded). However despite the fact that the leading 4 is actually accessible, they don't think that a best four team.This week: Fremantle at Optus Stadium, Saturday 4:35 pmRobbo uncovers Tomahawks' highest qualities|03:489. HAWTHORN (11-9, 104.1%) Last week: Rated 7th, shed to GWS by 2 ptsSunday's game is the absolute most vital for any sort of one staff we've observed up until now in 2024. That is actually given that Hawthorn's result against Carlton will successfully determine their time. They've got an agape course to 14 triumphes with a victory, and no group has actually even skipped the top 8 along with thirteen triumphes before. However drop and they're most likely heading to be 2 games out of the 8 with pair of to participate in, a virtually impossible posture. They are still doing a great deal right but the problem we understood regarding entering into the season, their support, stands out at a hard time - over the final 6 weeks they're No. 1 for interior 50s versus, but 17th for scores per inside 50 versus. So teams aren't getting it down there certainly a lot, however when they perform, they are actually racking up at can. There is actually a bit of tragedy in that however it is actually certainly not all luck. As we have actually written before, even if the Hawks miss the finals this time has actually been awesome, yet jeez it would certainly be actually discouraging when they're therefore near to some of the greatest accounts in years.This week: Carlton at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm10. ESSENDON (11-8-1, 95.9%) Recently: Ranked 12th, def Fremantle by 1 ptTurns out our experts overlooked how significant Darcy Church is actually to this staff. After a quiet 1st game back he was huge versus a star-studded Freo midfield. Along with him this period, the Bombing planes are actually +20 for allowances and also +18 coming from center open spaces without him they are actually -17 and +4 specifically. That win over Freo could acquire all of them in to the finals yet there is actually additionally a legitimate possibility an individual overlooks along with 14 triumphes, particularly if the Hawks trumped Carlton this weekend, and for the Bombers their draw as well as their poor portion possess the very same result of producing them drop tiebreakers. It would certainly be fairly unmerciful if they succeeded 13 and a fifty percent video games and also missed out yet concurrently, this is what occurs when you drop to non-finalists Melbourne, Adelaide as well as Street Kilda - you sign up with them.This week: Gold Shoreline Suns at Marvel Coliseum, Saturday 7:30 pm' He's protecting them from the pressure'|03:0311. COLLINGWOOD (10-8-2, 100.2%) Recently: Placed 13th, def Carlton through 2 ptsSo the question is actually, are they back? They need to be near their ideal to bring in the 8 hence - Melbourne won't be actually playing for everything in Round 24 so you will think the Magpies win that a person, however facing the top two over the upcoming pair of full weeks is fairly difficult. Perhaps they've timed this encounter Sydney properly, yet our company are actually certainly not confident Collingwood is good enough to beat the ladder innovators, even within this damaged condition. It costs taking note the Magpies are actually just 16th for inside 50s over the final 6 full weeks, however third for credit ratings per inside 50, thus efficiency is actually keeping them going. Their support has been actually no place near good enough over that duration so they're heading to need to take their opportunities to stop the Swans, and if they do, after that the other opponents will definitely start to worry. No person desires to experience a revitalized Magpies in September.This full week: Sydney Swans at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmMagpies seek finals spot versus swans|00:3012. MELBOURNE (10-10, 97.9%) Last week: Placed 10th, dropped to Western Bulldogs through 51 ptsFor the first time this years the Demons will head into the AFL time's lifeless area, playing out the chain with absolutely nothing vulnerable. In a manner, being successfully out of the finals ethnicity need to be actually relieving - they can play for 2025, trialling gamers in brand-new settings and also sending out aching gamers in for early surgeries. It goes without saying check out Geelong as well as Fremantle, who switched incredibly unsatisfying 2023 times in to probably 2024 finals berths you can not count out the capacity of teams who have actually possessed success to just get better a year later. Heck, Collingwood is the greatest instance. All of this is actually why our experts are actually certainly not freaking out regarding Melbourne's condition certainly not up until midway through upcoming year, anyway.This week: Slot Adelaide at the MCG, Sunday 7:30 pm13. GOLD COASTLINES SUNSHINES (9-11, 100.4%) Recently: Rated 11th, lost to West Shoreline through 10 ptsTheir home-away split is actually truly incredible. Home ground advantage is expected to be worth an objective or two - not turn you from complete rubbish in to a top-four opponent! We understand our experts've been actually blogging about this all year but the story has actually been the same all year ... much like the account of 'kinda residing in the combine with 5-6 rounds left and after that collapsing' has been the same for this entire nightclub for time after season. Get a brand-new gimmick!This week: Essendon at Wonder Coliseum, Saturday 7:30 pmBuckley rules themself away from Eagles task|01:1814. ADELAIDE CROWS (7-12-1, 99.8%) Recently: Placed 15th, shed to Geelong through 5 ptsThis full week: Western Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pm15. ST KILDA (8-12, 94.9%) Recently: Placed 14th, lost to Brisbane through 85 ptsThis week: Richmond at Marvel Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, as we pointed out last week, these groups certainly never have the same result in the very same weekend break! Therefore after Adelaide's loss on Sunday it's time to check the scores for the Saints' video game and-ah. Straight. Never mind. Wherefore it deserves the Crows possibly weren't comparable to the scoreboard proposed, obtaining bashed in the competition through a less-than-impressive Geelong midfield, so they were both poor. Allow's find if either crew may participate in spoiler over the final 3 weeks - the Saints might destroy Carlton or even Geelong's period, while the Crows could harm the Canines however additional essentially will like to wreck Slot's. Riewoldt reviews Dusty's famed career|04:1316. WEST COASTLINE EAGLES (4-16, 70%) Last week: Ranked 18th, def Gold Coast by 10 ptsThis week: North Melbourne at Blundstone Stadium, Saturday 1:45 pm17. NORTH MELBOURNE (3-17, 67%) Recently: Positioned 17th, def Richmond by 16 ptsThis week: West Shore Eagles at Blundstone Arena, Sunday 1:45 pm18. RICHMOND (2-18, 64.7%) Recently: Ranked 16th, dropped to North Melbourne through 16 ptsThis full week: St Kilda at Marvel Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, the two-week Spoonbowl is most likely over, with Richmond actually deserving the win over North - they won the activity on expected rating, off the back of 60 inside 50s to 44 - however booting on their own into the No. 1 selection. (Which is actually perhaps for the very best long-lasting.) Though to become fair, it is actually possible the Kangaroos have actually grasped goalkicking, provided they're No. 1 in the AFL for accuracy this year. West Coastline meanwhile was properly excellent versus a staff having fun for it time, with a season-high stress ranking as well as their third-best opposed belongings win for the year. Due to the fact that Jarrad Schofield took over the Eagles have actually gone from 17th in the AFL for pressure to 8th, which is actually a pretty good indication they're betting him. Right now all eyes count on North's try to complete outside the bottom pair of for the very first time this years - while it would still decrease to percentage, they will remain in a good position along with a gain in Hobart.
