All times AEST.Adams to possibly overlook an additional GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To play: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Sunday 7:40 pmWin or Miss: Complete 1stAnalysis: There are no realistic scenarios where the Swans fail to win the minor premiership. There are actually unlikely ones, though! A 100-point loss, while Slot Adelaide defeats Fremantle by one hundred points, will do it.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain as well as complete 1st, bunch Geelong in a qualifying final2. SLOT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To play: Fremantle at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish 2nd if GWS loses OR wins and also does not compose 7-8 objective percent gap, 3rd if GWS victories and also composes 7-8 objective portion gapLose: Finish second if GWS loses (and Port aren't beaten through 7-8 goals much more than the Giants), third if GWS gains, 4th in incredibly unlikely instance Geelong wins as well as composes substantial portion gapAnalysis: The Energy will possess the benefit of understanding their precise situation moving right into their ultimate video game, though there is actually a quite true odds they'll be actually practically latched right into 2nd. And in any case they're heading to be playing in the Second Qualifying Final. Their portion lead on GWS is around 7-8 goals, and also on Geelong it is actually closer to twenty, so they are actually most likely not acquiring captured by the Pet cats. Consequently if the Giants win, the Energy is going to need to win to secure 2nd location - yet provided that they do not obtain thrashed by a hopeless Dockers edge, percent should not be actually a complication. (If they win through a number of targets, GWS will require to win by 10 goals to capture them, and so on) Fox Footy's prediction: Succeed and finish second, bunch GWS in a certifying final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To play: Western Bulldogs at Mars Stadium, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: End up second if Port Adelaide sheds OR triumphes however loses hope 7-8 objective lead on percent, 3rd if Port Adelaide gains as well as keeps portion leadLose: End up second if Port Adelaide is beaten by 7-8 objectives more than they are, third if Port Adelaide succeeds OR drops but keeps portion lead AND Geelong loses OR wins as well as does not compose 10-goal percent void, fourth if Geelong victories as well as comprises 10-goal percent gapAnalysis: They're locked into the best four, and also are very likely having fun in the 2nd vs 3rd certifying ultimate, though Geelong absolutely understands how to whip West Coast at GMHBA Arena. That is actually the only technique the Giants would quit of playing Slot Adelaide a substantial succeed by the Felines on Sunday (our experts are actually talking 10+ objectives) and then a Giants reduction to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Pet cats do not succeed large (or even succeed in all), the Giants will certainly be actually betting throwing rights to the 2nd Qualifying Final. They can easily either compose a 7-8 goal void in percentage to pass Port Adelaide, or even just wish Freo trumps them.Fox Footy's prediction: Drop and also finish third, away to Slot Adelaide in a training finalZach Tuohy reveals decision to resign|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To participate in: West Shore Eagles at GMHBA Arena, Saturday 1:45 pmWin: End up third if GWS drops and also gives up 10-goal amount top, fourth if GWS wins OR loses however keeps portion top (edge case they can reach 2nd along with huge win) Lose: Complete 4th if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and Carlton shed, fifth if three lose, sixth if pair of shed, 7th if one loses, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they actually turned that people up. From resembling they were actually visiting create portion and lock up a top-four area, right now the Cats require to succeed just to ensure themselves the dual possibility, along with four teams hoping they shed to West Coastline so they may squeeze fourth from them. On the in addition side, this is the most askew matchup in contemporary footy, with the Eagles losing 9 straight excursions to Kardinia Playground through an average of 10+ goals. It is actually not outlandish to imagine the Cats gaining by that scope, and in combo along with also a slender GWS reduction, they will be moving in to an away certifying final vs Port Adelaide (for the third attend 5 times!). Typically a gain must deliver them to the SCG. If the Pussy-cats actually drop, they are going to possibly be delivered in to an eradication final on our prophecies, completely to 8th! Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and finish 4th, away to Sydney in a certifying final5. BRISBANE LIONS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To participate in: Essendon at the Gabba, Sunday 7:30 pmWin: End up fourth if Geelong drops, 5th if Geelong winsLose: Finish 5th if Western Bulldogs lose and also Hawthorn shed as well as Carlton shed as well as Fremantle shed OR gain however go under to get rid of very large percent void, sixth if three of those occur, 7th if 2 take place, 8th if one happens, miss out on finals if none happenAnalysis: Not simply performed they police officer another distressing reduction to the Pies, yet they got the wrong staff over all of them losing! If the Lions were entering Shot 24 wishing for Port or even GWS to lose, they 'd still possess an actual chance at the best 4, yet undoubtedly Geelong doesn't shed in your home to West Shore? Provided that the Pet cats do the job, the Lions must be bound for an elimination ultimate. Defeating the Bombers would certainly then promise them fifth location (and that's the side of the bracket you prefer, if it suggests staying away from the Bulldogs and Hawks in full week one, and likely receiving Geelong in full week pair of). A shock loss to Essendon would certainly find Chris Fagan's edge nervously watching on Sunday to observe how many groups pass all of them ... technically they could skip the eight totally, but it is actually incredibly unrealistic for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and also end up 5th, host Carlton in an elimination finalSelfish Lions recorded keeping away from colleagues|01:046. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To participate in: GWS Giants at Mars Coliseum, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: End up 4th if Geelong and also Brisbane lose, 5th if one sheds, sixth if both winLose: End up sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton and also Fremantle lose, 7th if pair of lose, 8th if one drops, miss out on finals if they all winAnalysis: Aggravatingly for the Bulldogs, they can still overlook the 8, regardless of possessing the AFL's second-best amount and thirteen victories (which nobody has actually ever before missed out on the eight with). Actually it is actually an extremely true possibility - they still need to function versus an in-form GWS to guarantee their place in September. However that's certainly not the only point at concern the Pet dogs would ensure on their own a home ultimate along with a success (likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), however even if they stay in the eight after dropping, they could be heading to Brisbane for that eradication final. At the other edge of the spectrum, there is actually still a very small opportunity they may slip right into the best four, though it calls for West Coastline to defeat Geelong in Geelong, and Essendon to defeat Brisbane in Brisbane ... thus a small possibility. Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and also finish sixth, 'hold' Hawthorn in a removal final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To participate in: North Melbourne at UTAS Arena, Sunday 4:35 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong, Brisbane as well as Western Bulldogs all shed and also Carlton sheds OR triumphes yet goes belly up to eclipse them on percentage (approx. 4 targets) 5th if 3 take place, 6th if two occur, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: Complete 7th if Fremantle loses as well as Carlton drops while staying behind on percentage, 8th if one loses, miss finals if each winAnalysis: We prefer to be actually the Hawks than the Bulldogs today, as a result of that they have actually received left to deal with. Sam Mitchell's males are a win far from September, and also only require to function against an injury-hit N. Melbourne who looked horrendous against said Dogs on Sunday. There is actually even an incredibly small chance they sneak right into the top 4 even more realistically they'll get themselves an MCG elimination last, either versus the Dogs, Freo or even Carlton. (The best-case instance is actually possibly the Pets dropping, so the Hawks end up 6th and also play the Blues.) If they're outplayed through North though, they are actually equally as intimidated as the Canines, awaiting Carlton and Fremantle to observe if they are actually evicted of the eight.Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain and end up 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in a removal finalMagic of Hok-ball clarified|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To participate in: Street Kilda at Wonder Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and also Hawthorn all lose OR Hawks win yet fall back Blues on percent (approx. 4 goals), fifth if 3 occur, sixth if 2 happen, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Hawthorn drops by sufficient to fall behind on percent as well as Fremantle sheds, 8th if one occurs, or else overlook finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home state truly aided them out this weekend. Fremantle's reduction, blended along with cry' get West Coastline, sees all of them inside the 8 and also even able to participate in finals if they are actually upset through St Kilda upcoming week. (Though they will be actually left praying for Port to trump Freo.) Reasonably they're mosting likely to desire to trump the Saints to guarantee themselves a spot in September - and to provide on their own a possibility of an MCG elimination final. If both the Pet dogs and Hawks shed, cry could even host that last, though our team will be actually rather shocked if the Hawks shed. Percentage is likely to find into play because of Carlton's huge get West Shore - they may require to pump the Saints to steer clear of participating in Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's forecast: Win and finish 8th, away to Brisbane in an eradication final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To play: Port Adelaide at Optus Stadium, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish 6th if Western Side Bulldogs, Hawthorn and Carlton shed, 7th if 2 drop, 8th if one loses, overlook finals if each of all of them winLose: Will certainly skip finalsAnalysis: Oh excellent, one more reason to loathe West Coastline. Their opponents' lack of ability to defeat cry' B-team suggests the Dockers go to true threat of their Around 24 activity ending up being a dead rubber. The formula is fairly easy - they need to have at least among the Pets, Hawks or even Blues to drop before they play Port. If that occurs, the Dockers can succeed their method right into September. If all 3 win, they'll be eliminated by the opportunity they get the field. (Technically Freo may also capture Brisbane on percent however it's very unlikely.) Fox Footy's prophecy: Lose and also miss out on finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood may technically still participate in finals, however requires to comprise a percentage gap of 30+ objectives to record Carlton, plus Fremantle has to drop.
