All times AEST.Adams to likely miss out on one more GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To play: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Sunday 7:40 pmWin or even Lose: Finish 1stAnalysis: There are no practical circumstances where the Swans fail to gain the slight premiership. There are outlandish ones, though! A 100-point reduction, while Slot Adelaide defeats Fremantle through 100 factors, would certainly do it.Fox Footy's prediction: Win as well as finish 1st, multitude Geelong in a qualifying final2. PORT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To participate in: Fremantle at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish 2nd if GWS loses OR triumphes and does not compose 7-8 goal percentage void, 3rd if GWS triumphes and also makes up 7-8 goal portion gapLose: Finish second if GWS sheds (as well as Slot may not be defeated by 7-8 targets much more than the Giants), 3rd if GWS wins, fourth in quite unexpected situation Geelong succeeds and also comprises huge amount gapAnalysis: The Energy will certainly have the advantage of understanding their particular case heading in to their final game, though there is actually an extremely true possibility they'll be virtually latched right into 2nd. As well as regardless they are actually visiting be playing in the 2nd Qualifying Final. Their percentage lead on GWS is around 7-8 objectives, and on Geelong it is actually closer to 20, so they're perhaps not receiving recorded due to the Cats. As a result if the Giants succeed, the Power is going to need to have to win to secure 2nd place - but just as long as they do not obtain punished by a desperate Dockers side, percent should not be a trouble. (If they succeed through a couple of objectives, GWS would require to win by 10 targets to capture them, etc) Fox Footy's prediction: Succeed and also complete 2nd, host GWS in a qualifying final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To play: Western Bulldogs at Mars Coliseum, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Finish 2nd if Port Adelaide loses OR triumphes but surrenders 7-8 objective bait amount, 3rd if Slot Adelaide wins and keeps percent leadLose: Complete 2nd if Slot Adelaide is trumped through 7-8 objectives more than they are, 3rd if Port Adelaide succeeds OR sheds however keeps percentage lead and also Geelong loses OR victories and does not make up 10-goal amount void, 4th if Geelong victories and also comprises 10-goal portion gapAnalysis: They are actually secured in to the best 4, and are likely playing in the second vs third training ultimate, though Geelong undoubtedly understands how to punish West Shoreline at GMHBA Coliseum. That's the only way the Giants would quit of participating in Port Adelaide a huge succeed by the Felines on Saturday (we're speaking 10+ objectives) and afterwards a Giants loss to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Kitties don't win big (or even succeed whatsoever), the Giants will be actually betting throwing rights to the Second Qualifying Final. They can easily either comprise a 7-8 goal void in amount to pass Slot Adelaide, or merely wish Freo beats them.Fox Footy's prediction: Lose and also end up third, away to Slot Adelaide in a training finalZach Tuohy explains selection to resign|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To play: West Coast Eagles at GMHBA Coliseum, Saturday 1:45 pmWin: Complete 3rd if GWS drops as well as quits 10-goal percentage lead, 4th if GWS wins OR drops however holds onto percent lead (edge circumstance they can reach second with substantial gain) Lose: Complete fourth if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and Carlton lose, 5th if 3 shed, 6th if pair of lose, 7th if one loses, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they truly tightened that one up. Coming from resembling they were actually mosting likely to create amount as well as secure a top-four location, now the Kitties need to win just to guarantee on their own the double opportunity, with 4 crews wishing they lose to West Shoreline so they can pinch 4th coming from all of them. On the plus edge, this is actually the most uneven competition in contemporary footy, with the Eagles losing 9 direct vacations to Kardinia Park through an average of 10+ goals. It is actually not impractical to imagine the Pussy-cats succeeding by that frame, and in mixture along with even a slim GWS reduction, they would certainly be moving right into an away certifying ultimate vs Port Adelaide (for the 3rd attend five seasons!). Otherwise a gain must deliver them to the SCG. If the Cats in fact drop, they will definitely almost certainly be actually sent out into an eradication ultimate on our forecasts, right up to 8th! Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and also finish 4th, away to Sydney in a qualifying final5. BRISBANE COUGARS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To participate in: Essendon at the Gabba, Sunday 7:30 pmWin: End up fourth if Geelong sheds, fifth if Geelong winsLose: Finish 5th if Western side Bulldogs shed and also Hawthorn shed and also Carlton shed as well as Fremantle shed OR win yet go bust to get over huge portion space, 6th if three of those happen, 7th if pair of occur, 8th if one takes place, miss finals if none happenAnalysis: Certainly not only did they police officer another uncomfortable reduction to the Pies, however they received the inappropriate team above them dropping! If the Lions were actually entering Shot 24 hoping for Port or even GWS to shed, they 'd still have a genuine shot at the leading 4, but definitely Geelong doesn't drop in the house to West Shoreline? As long as the Pet cats finish the job, the Cougars should be tied for an eradication last. Trumping the Bombers would at that point assure them fifth spot (and that's the edge of the brace you really want, if it implies staying clear of the Bulldogs and also Hawks in full week one, as well as most likely getting Geelong in full week 2). A surprise loss to Essendon would see Chris Fagan's side nervously watching on Sunday to observe the number of crews pass them ... actually they could possibly miss the 8 totally, but it is extremely unlikely for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain as well as complete 5th, host Carlton in a removal finalSelfish Cougars recorded keeping away from allies|01:046. WESTERN BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To play: GWS Giants at Mars Arena, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong and Brisbane drop, 5th if one loses, sixth if both winLose: Finish 6th if Hawthorn, Carlton and Fremantle shed, 7th if 2 shed, 8th if one loses, miss finals if they all winAnalysis: Irritatingly for the Bulldogs, they can easily still overlook the 8, in spite of having the AFL's second-best percent and also 13 triumphes (which nobody has EVER missed out on the eight with). As a matter of fact it's a very true opportunity - they still need to have to function versus an in-form GWS to ensure their spot in September. Yet that is actually certainly not the only trait at risk the Pets would certainly ensure themselves a home final with a success (probably at the MCG vs Hawthorn), yet even if they stay in the eight after losing, they can be heading to Brisbane for that eradication last. At the various other edge of the sphere, there is actually still a tiny chance they can easily slip in to the leading four, though it demands West Coast to defeat Geelong in Geelong, and also Essendon to beat Brisbane in Brisbane ... thus a small opportunity. Fox Footy's forecast: Win and also finish sixth, 'hold' Hawthorn in an eradication final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To play: North Melbourne at UTAS Stadium, Saturday 4:35 pmWin: Finish fourth if Geelong, Brisbane and also Western Bulldogs all lose and also Carlton drops OR wins yet goes bust to surpass them on portion (approx. 4 goals) 5th if three take place, 6th if 2 occur, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: Complete 7th if Fremantle sheds AND Carlton sheds while staying behind on percent, 8th if one loses, skip finals if both winAnalysis: Our company would rather be the Hawks than the Bulldogs immediately, because of who they've acquired delegated to deal with. Sam Mitchell's guys are a gain out of September, and merely require to function versus an injury-hit N. Melbourne that looked dreadful versus mentioned Canines on Sunday. There is actually even an incredibly long shot they creep in to the top four more genuinely they'll get themselves an MCG removal last, either versus the Pet dogs, Freo or Carlton. (The best-case instance is probably the Pets losing, so the Hawks end up 6th as well as participate in the Blues.) If they are actually upset through North though, they're just as intimidated as the Pet dogs, awaiting Carlton and also Fremantle to view if they're tossed out of the eight.Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and finish 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in a removal finalMagic of Hok-ball described|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To play: Street Kilda at Wonder Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: End up 4th if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and also Hawthorn all lose OR Hawks win but fall back Woes on percent (approx. 4 targets), fifth if three happen, sixth if two happen, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Hawthorn drops through sufficient to fall back on percentage AND Fremantle drops, 8th if one happens, otherwise miss finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home state truly helped them out this weekend break. Fremantle's reduction, integrated along with the Blues' draw West Coastline, sees them inside the eight as well as also able to participate in finals if they're upset by St Kilda following full week. (Though they would certainly be left behind praying for Port to beat Freo.) Realistically they are actually heading to would like to defeat the Saints to promise themselves a spot in September - and also to give themselves a chance of an MCG removal last. If both the Pet dogs as well as Hawks drop, cry could also hold that last, though our team would certainly be fairly shocked if the Hawks lost. Percentage is most likely ahead right into play due to Carlton's big win over West Shoreline - they might need to have to pump the Saints to prevent participating in Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and finish 8th, away to Brisbane in a removal final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To participate in: Slot Adelaide at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish sixth if Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and Carlton shed, 7th if 2 shed, 8th if one loses, miss finals if all of them winLose: Will overlook finalsAnalysis: Oh fantastic, an additional factor to hate West Shore. Their rivals' failure to beat the Blues' B-team suggests the Dockers are at real risk of their Sphere 24 game coming to be a lifeless rubber. The equation is fairly straightforward - they need a minimum of one of the Canines, Hawks or even Woes to shed prior to they play Port. If that takes place, the Dockers may succeed their way into September. If all 3 succeed, they'll be actually removed by the opportunity they get the area. (Technically Freo can likewise catch Brisbane on percent but it is actually remarkably unexpected.) Fox Footy's prophecy: Drop as well as overlook finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood may theoretically still participate in finals, however needs to comprise a portion space of 30+ objectives to capture Carlton, plus Fremantle has to drop.
