All times AEST.Adams to potentially skip an additional GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To participate in: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Saturday 7:40 pmWin or even Lose: End Up 1stAnalysis: There are no reasonable situations where the Swans go bust to gain the minor premiership. There are actually impractical ones, though! A 100-point reduction, while Slot Adelaide trumps Fremantle through one hundred points, would carry out it.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and complete first, bunch Geelong in a certifying final2. SLOT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To play: Fremantle at Optus Stadium, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Complete second if GWS sheds OR success as well as does not comprise 7-8 objective percentage gap, 3rd if GWS triumphes as well as comprises 7-8 goal percent gapLose: Complete second if GWS drops (and also Slot aren't defeated by 7-8 objectives more than the Giants), 3rd if GWS wins, 4th in quite unlikely instance Geelong wins and also comprises enormous amount gapAnalysis: The Electrical power is going to have the perk of recognizing their particular case moving in to their last activity, though there is actually a quite real opportunity they'll be virtually locked right into 2nd. And in any case they're visiting be playing in the 2nd Qualifying Final. Their percent bait GWS is roughly 7-8 objectives, and on Geelong it is actually closer to 20, so they are actually perhaps certainly not acquiring captured by the Felines. Therefore if the Giants win, the Energy will certainly need to win to lock up second spot - however as long as they do not get surged through a desperate Dockers side, percent should not be a complication. (If they win by a number of objectives, GWS will need to have to win through 10 objectives to record them, etc) Fox Footy's prediction: Succeed and complete second, lot GWS in a certifying final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To participate in: Western Bulldogs at Mars Stadium, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Finish 2nd if Port Adelaide loses OR wins yet quits 7-8 goal lead on percent, 3rd if Slot Adelaide succeeds and has percent leadLose: Complete second if Port Adelaide is trumped by 7-8 goals greater than they are, 3rd if Slot Adelaide wins OR sheds however has amount top and also Geelong loses OR success and also doesn't compose 10-goal percentage void, fourth if Geelong wins and also composes 10-goal portion gapAnalysis: They're secured in to the top 4, and also are actually likely having fun in the 2nd vs third training last, though Geelong surely knows how to whip West Shore at GMHBA Stadium. That is actually the only means the Giants would certainly quit of participating in Slot Adelaide a massive gain due to the Pussy-cats on Saturday (we're talking 10+ targets) and afterwards a Giants loss to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Felines don't gain major (or gain at all), the Giants will certainly be actually betting organizing liberties to the 2nd Qualifying Final. They can easily either compose a 7-8 goal void in amount to pass Port Adelaide, or simply really hope Freo defeats them.Fox Footy's forecast: Drop and also end up 3rd, away to Port Adelaide in a qualifying finalZach Tuohy discusses decision to resign|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To participate in: West Shore Eagles at GMHBA Stadium, Saturday 1:45 pmWin: End up third if GWS drops and quits 10-goal percent top, 4th if GWS gains OR sheds but holds onto percent lead (fringe scenario they can reach 2nd with substantial gain) Lose: Finish 4th if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and also Carlton shed, 5th if three lose, sixth if pair of shed, 7th if one loses, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they definitely turned that people up. From seeming like they were actually visiting construct percentage and secure a top-four place, today the Pet cats need to have to succeed only to guarantee themselves the dual possibility, with 4 groups hoping they lose to West Coastline so they may squeeze fourth from all of them. On the plus edge, this is the most lopsided match in modern footy, with the Eagles shedding nine straight journeys to Kardinia Park by around 10+ targets. It's not unrealistic to picture the Felines winning through that scope, and in mix along with even a narrow GWS loss, they would certainly be heading into an away qualifying ultimate vs Slot Adelaide (for the third attend 5 times!). Typically a win must deliver all of them to the SCG. If the Pussy-cats really lose, they will certainly probably be actually sent in to an elimination ultimate on our prophecies, right up to 8th! Fox Footy's forecast: Gain as well as complete fourth, away to Sydney in a training final5. BRISBANE COUGARS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To participate in: Essendon at the Gabba, Sunday 7:30 pmWin: Finish fourth if Geelong drops, fifth if Geelong winsLose: Finish fifth if Western Bulldogs lose and also Hawthorn shed as well as Carlton shed AND Fremantle drop OR gain yet go belly up to get rid of large portion void, 6th if 3 of those take place, 7th if 2 take place, 8th if one happens, overlook finals if none happenAnalysis: Certainly not only performed they police officer an additional distressing loss to the Pies, but they got the wrong team above them shedding! If the Lions were actually entering Shot 24 anticipating Port or even GWS to shed, they would certainly still possess a real shot at the best 4, yet definitely Geelong does not lose in your home to West Shore? Provided that the Pussy-cats finish the job, the Cougars need to be tied for an elimination last. Beating the Bombers would then assure all of them fifth place (and also's the side of the bracket you yearn for, if it means preventing the Bulldogs and Hawks in week one, as well as likely getting Geelong in week two). A surprise reduction to Essendon would observe Chris Fagan's side nervously watching on Sunday to find the amount of teams pass them ... actually they could possibly miss the 8 completely, however it is actually really impractical for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's forecast: Gain as well as end up 5th, bunch Carlton in an elimination finalSelfish Cougars recorded avoiding colleagues|01:046. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To participate in: GWS Giants at Mars Coliseum, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong and Brisbane shed, fifth if one drops, 6th if each winLose: Complete sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton and also Fremantle drop, 7th if two drop, 8th if one sheds, miss finals if they all winAnalysis: Annoyingly for the Bulldogs, they can still miss the eight, in spite of possessing the AFL's second-best portion and also thirteen wins (which no one has actually ever before missed out on the eight with). As a matter of fact it is actually a very real opportunity - they still need to have to perform against an in-form GWS to guarantee their area in September. However that is actually certainly not the only factor at concern the Pets will ensure on their own a home ultimate with a victory (likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), however even if they keep in the 8 after losing, they may be heading to Brisbane for that removal ultimate. At the various other end of the spectrum, there is actually still a small chance they can easily sneak into the best 4, though it demands West Shoreline to defeat Geelong in Geelong, and also Essendon to defeat Brisbane in Brisbane ... thus a tiny opportunity. Fox Footy's forecast: Win and also end up 6th, 'hold' Hawthorn in an elimination final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To participate in: North Melbourne at UTAS Stadium, Saturday 4:35 pmWin: Finish fourth if Geelong, Brisbane as well as Western Bulldogs all shed as well as Carlton drops OR victories but goes under to overtake them on percent (approx. 4 goals) 5th if 3 take place, 6th if 2 happen, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Fremantle drops as well as Carlton sheds while keeping behind on portion, 8th if one loses, overlook finals if both winAnalysis: We would rather be actually the Hawks than the Bulldogs immediately, due to that they have actually received left to deal with. Sam Mitchell's guys are a win off of September, and merely need to have to take care of business versus an injury-hit Northern Melbourne who looked awful against said Dogs on Sunday. There's also a really long shot they sneak in to the best four additional genuinely they'll make themselves an MCG removal ultimate, either versus the Pets, Freo or Carlton. (The best-case circumstance is actually probably the Dogs shedding, so the Hawks finish 6th and participate in the Blues.) If they are actually outplayed through North though, they are actually equally as frightened as the Dogs, waiting on Carlton and also Fremantle to see if they are actually kicked out of the eight.Fox Footy's prediction: Win and also complete 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in an elimination finalMagic of Hok-ball detailed|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To play: Street Kilda at Marvel Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: End up fourth if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs as well as Hawthorn all lose OR Hawks gain yet fall behind Blues on percentage (approx. 4 objectives), 5th if three occur, sixth if two take place, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Hawthorn loses by sufficient to fall behind on percentage AND Fremantle sheds, 8th if one takes place, typically skip finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home condition really aided them out this weekend break. Fremantle's reduction, blended along with the Blues' win over West Coastline, sees all of them inside the eight and also even capable to participate in finals if they're outplayed by St Kilda upcoming week. (Though they 'd be actually left behind praying for Port to trump Freo.) Reasonably they are actually visiting would like to defeat the Saints to promise themselves a location in September - as well as to provide on their own a chance of an MCG removal last. If both the Pets and also Hawks lose, the Blues might also host that last, though we will be actually quite shocked if the Hawks lost. Percent is probably to find in to play with the help of Carlton's significant gain West Coastline - they might require to push the Saints to stay clear of participating in Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain as well as end up 8th, away to Brisbane in a removal final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To play: Port Adelaide at Optus Stadium, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Complete sixth if Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton lose, 7th if 2 lose, 8th if one sheds, miss out on finals if each of them winLose: Will overlook finalsAnalysis: Oh wonderful, one more factor to hate West Coast. Their competitors' inability to beat cry' B-team implies the Dockers are at actual risk of their Sphere 24 video game becoming a lifeless rubber. The formula is actually fairly simple - they require at the very least among the Dogs, Hawks or Woes to lose prior to they play Port. If that takes place, the Dockers can gain their means in to September. If all three gain, they'll be actually eliminated due to the opportunity they take the field. (Technically Freo may likewise record Brisbane on percent however it's incredibly improbable.) Fox Footy's forecast: Drop and also miss finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood can practically still participate in finals, however requires to comprise a percentage space of 30+ targets to catch Carlton, plus Fremantle has to shed.
