Perpetuity AEST.Adams to possibly skip one more GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To participate in: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Saturday 7:40 pmWin or Miss: End Up 1stAnalysis: There are no reasonable circumstances where the Swans go bust to win the small premiership. There are actually outlandish ones, though! A 100-point loss, while Port Adelaide beats Fremantle by 100 aspects, would do it.Fox Footy's prediction: Win and end up first, host Geelong in a certifying final2. SLOT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To participate in: Fremantle at Optus Arena, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: End up second if GWS drops OR victories and does not compose 7-8 objective percent space, 3rd if GWS victories and makes up 7-8 objective percentage gapLose: Complete second if GWS loses (as well as Port aren't defeated by 7-8 targets more than the Giants), third if GWS succeeds, fourth in quite improbable circumstance Geelong wins as well as comprises enormous portion gapAnalysis: The Electrical power will certainly possess the advantage of recognizing their precise case heading right into their ultimate activity, though there is actually a really real chance they'll be practically secured into second. As well as in any case they are actually visiting be playing in the Second Qualifying Final. Their portion bait GWS is actually around 7-8 objectives, as well as on Geelong it is actually closer to 20, so they're probably not acquiring caught by the Cats. For that reason if the Giants win, the Electrical power will definitely need to succeed to lock up second spot - yet just as long as they do not receive surged by a desperate Dockers edge, amount shouldn't be actually a problem. (If they gain by a couple of targets, GWS would certainly need to have to gain through 10 objectives to capture all of them, and so on) Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and end up second, bunch GWS in a qualifying final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To participate in: Western Bulldogs at Mars Coliseum, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete second if Port Adelaide sheds OR success yet loses hope 7-8 objective lead on portion, 3rd if Slot Adelaide wins and also keeps percent leadLose: Complete 2nd if Port Adelaide is actually defeated by 7-8 goals more than they are actually, third if Slot Adelaide wins OR sheds but has percent top and also Geelong loses OR triumphes and does not make up 10-goal amount space, 4th if Geelong triumphes and composes 10-goal percentage gapAnalysis: They're latched into the top four, and are very likely having fun in the second vs 3rd certifying last, though Geelong definitely understands exactly how to thrash West Coast at GMHBA Stadium. That's the only way the Giants would leave of participating in Port Adelaide an enormous win by the Cats on Sunday (we are actually chatting 10+ goals) and after that a Giants reduction to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Kitties don't succeed large (or even succeed in any way), the Giants will certainly be actually playing for hosting civil liberties to the Second Qualifying Final. They may either make up a 7-8 target void in portion to pass Slot Adelaide, or even just hope Freo trumps them.Fox Footy's forecast: Drop and complete third, away to Port Adelaide in a qualifying finalZach Tuohy describes selection to retire|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To play: West Shore Eagles at GMHBA Arena, Sunday 1:45 pmWin: Finish 3rd if GWS loses as well as surrenders 10-goal percent lead, 4th if GWS wins OR drops yet keeps percentage lead (fringe situation they may achieve 2nd along with huge win) Lose: End Up fourth if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and also Carlton lose, 5th if 3 drop, sixth if 2 drop, 7th if one loses, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they actually turned that people up. From seeming like they were mosting likely to build percentage and secure a top-four area, today the Kitties require to succeed merely to ensure on their own the double possibility, with four teams wishing they shed to West Coastline so they can pinch fourth coming from them. On the in addition side, this is the absolute most lopsided competition in modern-day footy, with the Eagles shedding 9 direct vacations to Kardinia Playground by around 10+ goals. It is actually certainly not unrealistic to picture the Pet cats gaining by that margin, and also in blend with even a slim GWS reduction, they would certainly be actually heading right into an away qualifying final vs Port Adelaide (for the 3rd time in 5 periods!). Or else a gain ought to send them to the SCG. If the Felines actually shed, they are going to probably be actually sent out into a removal ultimate on our forecasts, right to 8th! Fox Footy's prediction: Win and finish 4th, away to Sydney in a training final5. BRISBANE COUGARS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To play: Essendon at the Gabba, Sunday 7:30 pmWin: End up 4th if Geelong drops, fifth if Geelong winsLose: End up 5th if Western side Bulldogs drop and also Hawthorn drop and also Carlton lose AND Fremantle shed OR gain however crash to get over big percent void, 6th if 3 of those happen, 7th if 2 take place, 8th if one takes place, overlook finals if none happenAnalysis: Certainly not simply did they cop an additional unpleasant loss to the Pies, but they received the incorrect group above them shedding! If the Lions were actually entering into Shot 24 expecting Slot or even GWS to shed, they would certainly still possess a real shot at the best 4, however certainly Geelong doesn't drop in the house to West Coast? So long as the Pet cats do the job, the Lions ought to be tied for an eradication final. Beating the Bombing planes will after that guarantee them 5th location (and that's the edge of the brace you really want, if it means staying clear of the Bulldogs and also Hawks in week one, as well as likely obtaining Geelong in week 2). A shock loss to Essendon will view Chris Fagan's edge nervously enjoying on Sunday to see how many crews pass all of them ... practically they could possibly miss the eight entirely, however it is really impractical for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's forecast: Succeed as well as complete 5th, bunch Carlton in an eradication finalSelfish Lions caught shunning allies|01:046. WESTERN BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To play: GWS Giants at Mars Stadium, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong and Brisbane lose, 5th if one loses, 6th if both winLose: Complete sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton and also Fremantle shed, 7th if 2 lose, 8th if one sheds, miss finals if they all winAnalysis: Irritatingly for the Bulldogs, they can easily still overlook the eight, even with possessing the AFL's second-best percentage as well as thirteen triumphes (which nobody has EVER skipped the eight with). Actually it is actually an incredibly genuine probability - they still require to perform versus an in-form GWS to guarantee their location in September. However that's not the only factor at stake the Canines would certainly guarantee themselves a home ultimate with a success (likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), however even if they remain in the eight after shedding, they can be moving to Brisbane for that eradication last. At the other end of the sphere, there's still a tiny odds they can creep into the best four, though it demands West Shoreline to trump Geelong in Geelong, and also Essendon to defeat Brisbane in Brisbane ... therefore a little possibility. Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and also end up sixth, 'hold' Hawthorn in an elimination final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To play: North Melbourne at UTAS Coliseum, Sunday 4:35 pmWin: Finish fourth if Geelong, Brisbane and also Western Bulldogs all drop and also Carlton drops OR success however goes under to overtake them on percent (approx. 4 objectives) 5th if 3 happen, sixth if 2 take place, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: Complete 7th if Fremantle sheds and also Carlton loses while keeping behind on amount, 8th if one loses, overlook finals if both winAnalysis: Our experts prefer to be actually the Hawks than the Bulldogs at the moment, as a result of that they have actually acquired delegated to experience. Sam Mitchell's males are actually a gain far from September, and only require to take care of business versus an injury-hit North Melbourne who looked dreadful against said Canines on Sunday. There is actually also an incredibly small chance they slip into the leading 4 more realistically they'll gain themselves an MCG removal ultimate, either against the Dogs, Freo or Carlton. (The best-case case is possibly the Pets losing, so the Hawks end up sixth as well as play the Blues.) If they're outplayed by North though, they are actually just as frightened as the Dogs, expecting Carlton and also Fremantle to observe if they're evicted of the eight.Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and end up 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in a removal finalMagic of Hok-ball detailed|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To participate in: St Kilda at Wonder Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Finish fourth if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs as well as Hawthorn all drop OR Hawks win but fall behind Blues on amount (approx. 4 objectives), fifth if 3 happen, sixth if pair of occur, 7th if one happens, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Hawthorn loses through good enough to fall behind on amount and also Fremantle sheds, 8th if one occurs, otherwise miss finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home state actually assisted all of them out this weekend. Fremantle's loss, incorporated with cry' sway West Shoreline, views them inside the eight as well as also capable to participate in finals if they're upset through Street Kilda following week. (Though they 'd be left behind wishing Slot to defeat Freo.) Truthfully they're visiting would like to beat the Saints to promise on their own a spot in September - and also to offer themselves a chance of an MCG removal last. If both the Pet dogs as well as Hawks lose, cry might also organize that last, though we will be actually fairly surprised if the Hawks dropped. Portion is actually most likely ahead right into play with the help of Carlton's huge gain West Shore - they may need to have to pump the Saints to stay away from participating in Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's forecast: Win and also complete 8th, away to Brisbane in an elimination final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To play: Slot Adelaide at Optus Arena, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: End up sixth if Western Side Bulldogs, Hawthorn and Carlton drop, 7th if two drop, 8th if one sheds, miss out on finals if each of all of them winLose: Will definitely miss out on finalsAnalysis: Oh wonderful, another factor to despise West Coastline. Their rivals' incapacity to defeat the Blues' B-team indicates the Dockers go to true threat of their Around 24 video game coming to be a dead rubber. The formula is pretty basic - they require at least among the Pets, Hawks or even Woes to shed prior to they participate in Slot. If that occurs, the Dockers may succeed their method in to September. If all three gain, they'll be dealt with by the opportunity they take the industry. (Technically Freo may also capture Brisbane on percentage but it is actually remarkably unlikely.) Fox Footy's prediction: Lose as well as miss finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood may theoretically still participate in finals, but needs to make up a percent space of 30+ objectives to catch Carlton, plus Fremantle must drop.
