BRISBANE LIONS (13-6-1, 125.1%) Recently: Rated 1st, def St Kilda through 85 ptsThis week: GWS Giants at the Gabba, Sunday 1:45 pm2. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (12-8, 122.4%) Last week: Placed second, def Melbourne through 51 ptsThis full week: Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pmWith the Swans decreasing a cliff, if we needed to anticipate a Grand Final at the moment, this would certainly be it. It might not even be achievable - if the Bulldogs can't break the best 4, they may be on an inevitable clash in a prelim. However in a pair of video games that our team thought were actually potential fruit peelings, both they and Brisbane were actually leading. The Dogs' support is actually incredible immediately in spite of all their employees problems, No. 2 for factors permitted as well as No. 1 for aspects allowed from turnovers over the final six full weeks, while the Lions have actually lifted because division over that time period at the same time (and they extremely needed to have to). Offered how properly Brisbane are going you actually have to question, would certainly they be actually the absolutely leading banner much-loved at this moment if they had not copped plenty of ACL accidents? To become within this setting given those strikes is actually incredibly exceptional, and also the Bulldogs are actually as near a significant banner contender as they've been for a long times. What our team've learned over the final few times is that the AFL's efforts to bring affordable balance indicate teams can truly get going mid-season and surge right into the premiership race - our team have to quit dismissing talented lists when they start slowly.Kingy releases on 'disconcerting' Swans|03:523. SYDNEY SWANS (14-6, 126.1%) Recently: Positioned 3rd, lost to Slot Adelaide by 112 ptsNo issue where you appear, Saturday night was embarrassingly unsatisfactory. There are actually only a few comparables to THIS form of loss for a resulting premier, however none of them were this bad. As a matter of fact no V/AFL premier has actually dropped a video game through more than one hundred factors that time, as well as the largest loss through an ultimate premier in the AFL age was Slot Adelaide getting pumped by 92 factors against the Kangaroos in Sphere 8, 2004. The much bigger concern is that this isn't nearly the final two weeks over the final six they're 17th for disputed things, 18th for groundball receives, 18th for approvals, 17th for factors from turnover differential and 15th for tension rating. A blowout reduction is going to blow those statistics out at the same time yet they have absolutely nothing like a premier's profile page considering that the start of July. Thus why perform our experts still possess all of them third? Well you don't sit a thousand games very clear in addition to the ladder for no main reason possibly the rest of the AFL has found them out yet our experts still have some self-confidence the Swans may discover one thing near their best. As well as they should still finish top two, which specifies them up and also possible.This week: Collingwood at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmLongmire counters at "self-indulgent" opinions|01:004. SLOT ADELAIDE (13-7, 113.6%) Recently: Positioned 9th, def Sydney by 112 ptsUnfortunately for the Energy, when you succeed a game through THAT considerably, the tale is always regarding the shedding team and just how the heck they were that negative. So let's provide Slot some should have praise, given that they are absolutely appearing like a top-four staff today, and may be significant! Over the final six full weeks they are actually No. 2 in the AFL for points scored, No. 1 for points versus, No. 3 for disputed properties and No. 3 for spaces - yes the size of the Sydney gain tosses those statistics out a bit, but they have actually plainly discovered some real kind. As well as if they've shut the space between where they were, because 5th to 8th bracket, down end of the best four they're absolutely in the prelim ultimate ethnicity. Which will be a fair end result provided the standard ambiance of aggravation this season has typically held.This week: Melbourne at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm5. FREMANTLE (12-7-1, 116.7%) Recently: Ranked fourth, lost to Essendon by 1 ptIt have to be actually obtaining aggravating for Dockers followers - their group has actually dropped four games they led at three-quarter-time this year, 2 much more than anyone else. And also it would certainly possess been a useful sway the Bombers too, given the Swans' loss previously on the weekend. Despite them needing to face 3 teams resting over all of them on the step ladder over the ultimate 3 weeks our experts're certainly not as well worried they definitely must win their pair of continuing to be home video games, which would certainly be enough to play finals, and also on thirteen and a fifty percent wins their superb percentage will in fact perform some good holding off Essendon. This isn't the Freo of recent - they are actually No. 1 for factors scored over the final six weeks, and also it is actually the very first time since 2013 they've been actually No. 1 in the comp over any sort of six-week period.This full week: Geelong at Optus Coliseum, Saturday 4:35 pmEmmett handed restriction for hazardous tackle|00:226. GWS GIANTS (13-7, 111.2%) Last week: Placed 8th, def Hawthorn by 2 ptsThey appeared nowhere near it with three quarters against the Hawks, but at that point helped remind every person of the market value of celebrities. Toby Greene is actually rather really good, it appears. Prospective Coleman winner Jesse Hogan has actually been actually fantastic for 18 months. And also even Brent Daniels, one of their more underrated superstars during the course of their recent results, was actually a large think about the comeback along with an immense 12 last-quarter fingertips. Given the Lions' protective absentees exists some possibility Hogan and the staff get a hold of the Brisbane back six as well as take a significant trouble on Saturday? They're gon na require to gain another video game to play finals footy (and also it might also be actually tight on 14 triumphes) so they might too obtain it done ASAP.This full week: Brisbane Lions at the Gabba, Sunday 1:45 pmKingsley sparks healthy and balanced GWS scenes|02:167. CARLTON (12-8, 112.1%) Recently: Rated 5th, shed to Collingwood by 3 ptsWe're going to always keep counting on the Blues till they push our hand, since there is actually still so much going their means. Yes they have actually lost 4 of their final 5 games, however three of those were merely through a couple of targets, and also last Sunday night was actually essentially made a decision through a kick. Perhaps extra essentially they are actually still the No. 1 crew in the AFL for aspects coming from turn over differential - one of the most significant scoring source. A tremendous 19 of the last twenty teams to rank No. 1 in that stat have actually created a preparatory ultimate or better. They're discriminatory, due to the fact that they are actually 16th for factors from open spaces over the last 6 full weeks, however you prefer to be actually turnover-focused (as they are this year) than stoppage-focused (as they were last year). It would certainly be close to a disaster if this group missed out on the eight, provided the expectations as well as where they were merely 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: Rated 6th, def Adelaide by 5 ptsFunny how the Pussy-cats are actually each rather well-placed in a limited finals race as well as providing our company less assurance in their premium at the same time. The margin most likely shouldn't have been actually rather that tight versus Adelaide, however it was actually, as well as our experts possibly need to have to quit talking about Kardinia Park as a fortress - provided they are actually 5-3 at home, two of those victories coming by solitary digit margins. But once more, they're well-placed on 13 victories and with West Coast at home to find in the last sphere. Squeeze a draw the Dockers or St Kilda just before that, and also they are actually effectively and also definitely safe in the eight. There are actually still some reasons for assurance, like Patrick Dangerfield locating kind and also the midfield conducting effectively overall versus the Crows, plus the protection has actually risen more than the last six weeks (No. 5 for factors acknowledged). However although the top four is actually accessible, they do not feel like a best four team.This full week: Fremantle at Optus Coliseum, Saturday 4:35 pmRobbo exposes Tomahawks' highest qualities|03:489. HAWTHORN (11-9, 104.1%) Last week: Positioned 7th, dropped to GWS by 2 ptsSunday's activity is one of the most vital for any one crew our company've seen thus far in 2024. That is actually since Hawthorn's result against Carlton are going to efficiently choose their season. They have actually got an agape pathway to 14 victories along with a triumph, and no staff has even missed the top 8 with thirteen victories prior to. Yet shed and also they're most likely heading to be two games away from the eight along with two to participate in, a just about unattainable position. They are still doing a whole lot right however the issue we knew concerning coming into the season, their defence, stands out at a bad time - over the last 6 weeks they are actually No. 1 for interior 50s versus, but 17th for scores per inside fifty against. Thus groups may not be ascertaining there certainly much, yet when they carry out, they are actually racking up at can. There's a bit of misery in that yet it is actually certainly not all luck. As our experts've created before, regardless of whether the Hawks overlook the finals this time has been actually incredible, however jeez it will be actually disheartening when they're therefore near among the most ideal accounts in years.This full week: Carlton at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm10. ESSENDON (11-8-1, 95.9%) Recently: Placed 12th, def Fremantle through 1 ptTurns out our experts forgot exactly how necessary Darcy Church is to this group. After a quiet 1st activity back he was actually tremendous versus a star-studded Freo midfield. Along with him this period, the Bombing planes are actually +20 for allowances and +18 coming from centre allowances without him they're -17 and +4 specifically. That get Freo might get all of them right into the finals but there's additionally a real possibility somebody misses with 14 wins, specifically if the Hawks defeated Carlton this weekend, as well as for the Bombing planes their draw and also their unsatisfactory percent possess the very same result of producing all of them shed sudden deaths. It would certainly be actually quite severe if they won thirteen and also a half activities and also lost out but simultaneously, this is what occurs when you lose to non-finalists Melbourne, Adelaide and also St Kilda - you participate in them.This week: Gold Shoreline Suns at Wonder Arena, Sunday 7:30 pm' He is actually protecting them coming from the pressure'|03:0311. COLLINGWOOD (10-8-2, 100.2%) Recently: Rated 13th, def Carlton by 2 ptsSo the inquiry is actually, are they back? They need to have to become near their ideal to bring in the 8 hence - Melbourne won't be actually betting anything in Round 24 so you would certainly think the Magpies win that people, however encountering the leading pair of over the following two weeks is actually rather hard. Maybe they have actually timed this clash with Sydney effectively, yet we're certainly not persuaded Collingwood is good enough to defeat the ladder forerunners, even in this particular damaged state. It costs keeping in mind the Magpies are only 16th for inside 50s over the final 6 full weeks, however third for credit ratings per inside 50, so efficiency is maintaining all of them going. Their defence has been actually no place near satisfactory over that time frame so they are actually visiting require to take their opportunities to stop the Swans, and also if they perform, then the various other challengers are going to start to panic. Nobody intends to deal with a restored Magpies in September.This week: Sydney Swans at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmMagpies find finals identify versus swans|00:3012. MELBOURNE (10-10, 97.9%) Recently: Ranked 10th, lost to Western Bulldogs through 51 ptsFor the very first time this years the Demons will definitely move into the AFL period's lifeless area, playing out the string along with nothing on the line. In a manner, being efficiently out of the finals race should be actually relieving - they may play for 2025, trialling players in brand-new placements as well as delivering sore players in for very early surgical treatments. It goes without saying consider Geelong and also Fremantle, who transformed extremely frustrating 2023 times right into probably 2024 finals berths you can't pass over the capability of crews that've had results to just bounce back a year eventually. Heck, Collingwood is actually the greatest instance. Every one of this is actually why our team are actually certainly not stressing regarding Melbourne's circumstance not until midway through next year, anyway.This full week: Slot Adelaide at the MCG, Sunday 7:30 pm13. GOLD SHORELINES SUNS (9-11, 100.4%) Recently: Positioned 11th, lost to West Coastline by 10 ptsTheir home-away split is absolutely staggering. Home ground conveniences is supposed to be worth an objective or more - certainly not switch you coming from absolute rubbish in to a top-four opponent! We know our company've been actually covering this all year however the account has actually been the same all year ... similar to the story of 'kinda being in the combine with 5-6 cycles left behind and then falling apart' has actually been the same for this entire nightclub for period after season. Obtain a brand new gimmick!This full week: Essendon at Marvel Stadium, Saturday 7:30 pmBuckley guidelines themself away from Eagles project|01:1814. ADELAIDE CROWS (7-12-1, 99.8%) Last week: Ranked 15th, shed to Geelong through 5 ptsThis full week: Western Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pm15. ST KILDA (8-12, 94.9%) Last week: Placed 14th, shed to Brisbane through 85 ptsThis week: Richmond at Wonder Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, as our company mentioned recently, these groups never have the same result in the very same weekend break! Thus after Adelaide's loss on Sunday it's time to check the scores for the Saints' video game and-ah. Straight. Never mind. For what it's worth the Crows probably weren't just as good as the scoreboard suggested, obtaining belted in the contest through a less-than-impressive Geelong midfield, so they were actually each substandard. Let's view if either crew may play looter over the last 3 weeks - the Saints could mess up Carlton or even Geelong's season, while the Crows could possibly harm the Pets yet additional importantly would like to mess up Port's.

WEST COAST BALD EAGLES (4-16, 70%) Recently: Positioned 18th, def Gold Coast through 10 ptsThis full week: North Melbourne at Blundstone Stadium, Saturday 1:45 pm17. NORTH MELBOURNE (3-17, 67%) Last week: Ranked 17th, def Richmond through 16 ptsThis week: West Coastline Eagles at Blundstone Field, Sunday 1:45 pm18. RICHMOND (2-18, 64.7%) Recently: Positioned 16th, lost to North Melbourne through 16 ptsThis full week: Street Kilda at Wonder Arena, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, the two-week Spoonbowl is actually possibly over, along with Richmond actually deserving the win over North - they won the activity on expected score, off the back of 60 inside 50s to 44 - but booting on their own into the No. 1 selection. (Which is possibly for the very best long-lasting.) Though to be fair, it is actually possible the Kangaroos have really mastered goalkicking, given they are actually No. 1 in the AFL for accuracy this year. West Shoreline meanwhile was actually adequately remarkable against a staff playing for it season, with a season-high pressure score and their third-best contended belongings succeed for the year. Due to the fact that Jarrad Schofield managed the Eagles have gone from 17th in the AFL for tension to 8th, which is actually a respectable sign they're betting him. Right now all eyes turn to North's try to end up outside all-time low 2 for the first time this many years - while it will still drop to percentage, they would certainly be in a good position with a succeed in Hobart.
