All times AEST.Adams to likely miss out on yet another GF?|03:011. SYDNEY SWANS (16-6, 126.3%) To play: Adelaide Crows at the SCG, Sunday 7:40 pmWin or even Miss: Complete 1stAnalysis: There are no practical scenarios where the Swans go under to gain the slight premiership. There are impractical ones, though! A 100-point loss, while Port Adelaide beats Fremantle by 100 aspects, will carry out it.Fox Footy's prediction: Win and also complete first, bunch Geelong in a training final2. SLOT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To play: Fremantle at Optus Arena, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: End up 2nd if GWS sheds OR triumphes and also does not compose 7-8 target percentage space, 3rd if GWS victories as well as composes 7-8 goal percentage gapLose: Complete second if GWS sheds (and also Slot may not be trumped by 7-8 goals more than the Giants), third if GWS gains, fourth in really unlikely case Geelong wins and composes large percent gapAnalysis: The Electrical power is going to have the perk of knowing their exact situation heading into their final game, though there's an incredibly real chance they'll be virtually locked right into 2nd. As well as either way they are actually visiting be playing in the 2nd Qualifying Final. Their amount bait GWS is around 7-8 goals, and also on Geelong it's closer to 20, so they're most likely certainly not receiving caught by the Felines. As a result if the Giants gain, the Energy will definitely need to gain to lock up 2nd area - but just as long as they don't obtain punished by a despairing Dockers side, portion shouldn't be a problem. (If they succeed through a number of goals, GWS would certainly require to gain by 10 targets to capture all of them, and so on) Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and end up second, bunch GWS in a training final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To play: Western Bulldogs at Mars Coliseum, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete second if Port Adelaide sheds OR triumphes but surrenders 7-8 goal lead on percentage, 3rd if Slot Adelaide succeeds and also keeps portion leadLose: Complete 2nd if Port Adelaide is actually defeated by 7-8 goals greater than they are actually, third if Slot Adelaide succeeds OR drops yet holds portion lead as well as Geelong loses OR wins and doesn't comprise 10-goal portion void, fourth if Geelong success as well as makes up 10-goal amount gapAnalysis: They are actually locked in to the leading four, as well as are most likely having fun in the second vs 3rd training ultimate, though Geelong definitely recognizes just how to surge West Coastline at GMHBA Coliseum. That's the only means the Giants would leave of playing Port Adelaide a gigantic gain due to the Kitties on Saturday (our team are actually chatting 10+ targets) and afterwards a Giants loss to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Pussy-cats don't gain significant (or even succeed in any way), the Giants will definitely be actually betting hosting civil rights to the Second Qualifying Final. They may either make up a 7-8 goal space in portion to pass Slot Adelaide, or simply hope Freo beats them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Shed as well as complete third, away to Slot Adelaide in a training finalZach Tuohy details selection to retire|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To play: West Shoreline Eagles at GMHBA Coliseum, Sunday 1:45 pmWin: End up 3rd if GWS drops and surrenders 10-goal percentage top, 4th if GWS gains OR drops however holds onto amount lead (fringe instance they may achieve second along with massive gain) Lose: Finish fourth if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton shed, fifth if 3 drop, 6th if two drop, 7th if one drops, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they really screwed that people up. Coming from looking like they were visiting create portion and also lock up a top-four place, right now the Pet cats require to win only to guarantee themselves the dual odds, with 4 staffs hoping they shed to West Shoreline so they can squeeze 4th from them. On the in addition side, this is actually one of the most unequal match in modern-day footy, along with the Eagles shedding nine direct excursions to Kardinia Playground by around 10+ targets. It's not unlikely to envision the Kitties gaining through that scope, and in combination with even a narrow GWS loss, they will be actually heading in to an away certifying final vs Slot Adelaide (for the 3rd time in five seasons!). Typically a succeed should deliver all of them to the SCG. If the Kitties actually shed, they are going to easily be sent into a removal ultimate on our predictions, right up to 8th! Fox Footy's forecast: Win and complete 4th, away to Sydney in a certifying final5. BRISBANE LIONS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To play: Essendon at the Gabba, Sunday 7:30 pmWin: Finish 4th if Geelong drops, fifth if Geelong winsLose: End up 5th if Western Bulldogs shed AND Hawthorn lose and also Carlton lose and also Fremantle drop OR gain but fail to get rid of huge amount gap, 6th if 3 of those take place, 7th if 2 happen, 8th if one takes place, overlook finals if none happenAnalysis: Not simply performed they police one more distressing reduction to the Pies, yet they acquired the incorrect crew over all of them shedding! If the Lions were entering Shot 24 expecting Port or GWS to lose, they 'd still possess an actual chance at the best four, however definitely Geelong does not lose in the house to West Coast? Provided that the Cats finish the job, the Lions must be actually tied for an eradication last. Beating the Bombers would after that promise them 5th area (and also is actually the edge of the brace you desire, if it suggests staying away from the Bulldogs as well as Hawks in week one, and most likely receiving Geelong in full week 2). A shock loss to Essendon would see Chris Fagan's side nervously seeing on Sunday to view the amount of staffs pass them ... actually they might skip the eight entirely, yet it is actually incredibly impractical for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's prediction: Succeed and also end up 5th, host Carlton in an eradication finalSelfish Lions captured steering clear of teammates|01:046. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To play: GWS Giants at Mars Coliseum, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong and also Brisbane drop, 5th if one sheds, sixth if each winLose: Complete sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton and Fremantle drop, 7th if 2 shed, 8th if one drops, miss finals if they all winAnalysis: Aggravatingly for the Bulldogs, they can still miss out on the eight, despite possessing the AFL's second-best portion and 13 triumphes (which nobody has actually ever before skipped the eight with). Actually it is actually a quite true option - they still need to function versus an in-form GWS to promise their area in September. But that is actually not the only factor at risk the Pets will promise themselves a home final with a triumph (most likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), however even when they remain in the eight after dropping, they could be moving to Brisbane for that removal last. At the other edge of the spectrum, there's still a little odds they can slip into the leading four, though it calls for West Coastline to defeat Geelong in Geelong, as well as Essendon to beat Brisbane in Brisbane ... thus a tiny odds. Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and also end up sixth, 'host' Hawthorn in an elimination final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To participate in: North Melbourne at UTAS Coliseum, Sunday 4:35 pmWin: Finish 4th if Geelong, Brisbane and also Western Bulldogs all shed AND Carlton drops OR success but loses big to eclipse all of them on percent (approx. 4 objectives) 5th if 3 occur, 6th if pair of happen, 7th if one happens, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Fremantle sheds and also Carlton sheds while remaining behind on portion, 8th if one sheds, miss finals if each winAnalysis: Our team prefer to be actually the Hawks than the Bulldogs now, as a result of that they have actually received delegated to face. Sam Mitchell's guys are actually a win off of September, and also only require to take care of business versus an injury-hit Northern Melbourne that appeared horrible versus mentioned Canines on Sunday. There's even a really long shot they sneak right into the best four even more truthfully they'll gain on their own an MCG removal ultimate, either against the Dogs, Freo or even Carlton. (The best-case instance is possibly the Dogs shedding, so the Hawks complete sixth and play cry.) If they're upset by North though, they are actually just like frightened as the Dogs, waiting for Carlton as well as Fremantle to see if they are actually rejected of the eight.Fox Footy's forecast: Gain as well as finish 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in an eradication finalMagic of Hok-ball revealed|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To participate in: St Kilda at Wonder Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Finish fourth if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs as well as Hawthorn all lose OR Hawks gain but fall behind Blues on amount (approx. 4 objectives), fifth if 3 happen, 6th if pair of occur, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Hawthorn loses by sufficient to fall back on amount and also Fremantle loses, 8th if one occurs, or else overlook finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home state truly assisted them out this weekend. Fremantle's reduction, incorporated with cry' sway West Coastline, finds them inside the 8 and even able to participate in finals if they're outplayed by Street Kilda next week. (Though they will be left praying for Slot to defeat Freo.) Genuinely they are actually going to wish to trump the Saints to guarantee on their own an area in September - and to give themselves an opportunity of an MCG removal ultimate. If both the Pet dogs and Hawks shed, the Blues might also host that last, though we would certainly be actually pretty surprised if the Hawks lost. Percentage is actually most likely to follow into play thanks to Carlton's substantial win over West Coastline - they might require to push the Saints to avoid participating in Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and finish 8th, away to Brisbane in an elimination final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To play: Port Adelaide at Optus Arena, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish sixth if Western Side Bulldogs, Hawthorn and also Carlton lose, 7th if pair of drop, 8th if one sheds, miss out on finals if every one of them winLose: Will certainly skip finalsAnalysis: Oh wonderful, an additional factor to dislike West Coast. Their rivals' inability to defeat cry' B-team indicates the Dockers go to genuine risk of their Around 24 activity becoming a dead rubber. The formula is quite easy - they require a minimum of one of the Dogs, Hawks or even Blues to lose prior to they play Slot. If that happens, the Dockers can easily succeed their way in to September. If all 3 gain, they'll be actually removed due to the opportunity they get the area. (Technically Freo may also record Brisbane on percent however it's remarkably unexpected.) Fox Footy's forecast: Drop and miss finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood may actually still participate in finals, but needs to have to compose a percent gap of 30+ objectives to catch Carlton, plus Fremantle must lose.
