All times AEST.Adams to potentially miss one more 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 sensible instances where the Swans go under to gain the small premiership. There are impractical ones, though! A 100-point reduction, while Slot Adelaide defeats Fremantle by 100 aspects, would certainly carry out it.Fox Footy's forecast: Win and also complete first, multitude Geelong in a training final2. PORT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To participate in: Fremantle at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: End up 2nd if GWS sheds OR triumphes and also doesn't comprise 7-8 target portion void, 3rd if GWS wins as well as comprises 7-8 objective amount gapLose: End up second if GWS loses (and also Port may not be beaten by 7-8 objectives greater than the Giants), 3rd if GWS succeeds, fourth in quite unexpected situation Geelong wins and comprises enormous amount gapAnalysis: The Electrical power is going to possess the benefit of understanding their exact scenario moving right into their last video game, though there is actually an extremely actual possibility they'll be pretty much locked in to second. And also in any case they're mosting likely to be actually playing in the 2nd Qualifying Final. Their percentage lead on GWS is about 7-8 targets, and also on Geelong it's closer to twenty, so they are actually perhaps not acquiring captured by the Pussy-cats. As a result if the Giants succeed, the Energy will certainly need to have to win to secure second location - yet just as long as they don't acquire punished through a determined Dockers side, amount should not be actually a trouble. (If they win by a couple of objectives, GWS would certainly need to gain by 10 goals to catch them, etc) Fox Footy's prediction: Succeed as well as finish second, bunch 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 Slot Adelaide loses OR wins yet quits 7-8 goal lead on percent, 3rd if Port Adelaide wins and holds percentage leadLose: End up second if Port Adelaide is actually trumped through 7-8 objectives greater than they are, third if Port Adelaide succeeds OR loses but holds percent top as well as Geelong loses OR triumphes and also doesn't compose 10-goal percentage gap, fourth if Geelong triumphes and makes up 10-goal percent gapAnalysis: They are actually latched into the top 4, and also are actually very likely having fun in the 2nd vs third certifying last, though Geelong certainly recognizes just how to punish West Shoreline at GMHBA Coliseum. That is actually the only means the Giants will quit of playing Port Adelaide an enormous gain due to the Pet cats on Sunday (our experts are actually talking 10+ targets) and after that a Giants reduction to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Felines do not succeed huge (or even gain at all), the Giants is going to be betting holding civil liberties to the Second Qualifying Final. They can either compose a 7-8 target gap in percent to pass Slot Adelaide, or even only wish Freo defeats them.Fox Footy's prediction: Drop and also finish 3rd, away to Port Adelaide in a qualifying finalZach Tuohy discusses choice to retire|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To participate in: West Coast Eagles at GMHBA Coliseum, Sunday 1:45 pmWin: Complete 3rd if GWS loses and surrenders 10-goal percent top, fourth if GWS gains OR loses but keeps portion top (fringe case they can easily meet 2nd with huge win) Lose: End Up fourth if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton shed, fifth if three drop, sixth if two drop, 7th if one drops, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they definitely turned that people up. From appearing like they were heading to develop percentage and also lock up a top-four location, right now the Pet cats need to succeed just to assure on their own the dual possibility, with 4 teams wishing they shed to West Shoreline so they may pinch fourth coming from all of them. On the plus side, this is the best lopsided matchup in present day footy, with the Eagles dropping nine direct trips to Kardinia Playground through an average of 10+ objectives. It's not impractical to imagine the Cats gaining by that margin, and in combo with also a narrow GWS reduction, they 'd be moving into an away certifying last vs Slot Adelaide (for the third time in 5 periods!). Otherwise a succeed need to send them to the SCG. If the Felines really lose, they are going to probably be actually sent right into a removal final on our prophecies, right to 8th! Fox Footy's prediction: Gain and finish fourth, away to Sydney in a training final5. BRISBANE LIONS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To play: Essendon at the Gabba, Saturday 7:30 pmWin: Finish 4th if Geelong sheds, fifth if Geelong winsLose: End up 5th if Western Bulldogs drop as well as Hawthorn lose as well as Carlton shed AND Fremantle shed OR win yet go bust to conquer large percentage space, sixth if three of those take place, 7th if two take place, 8th if one takes place, miss finals if none happenAnalysis: Certainly not simply performed they police another very painful loss to the Pies, however they got the wrong staff over all of them shedding! If the Lions were entering into Shot 24 anticipating Slot or even GWS to shed, they will still possess a genuine shot at the best 4, but definitely Geelong doesn't lose in the house to West Coast? As long as the Kitties finish the job, the Lions must be tied for an elimination last. Defeating the Bombing planes would certainly after that guarantee all of them fifth area (and also's the edge of the brace you really want, if it indicates staying clear of the Bulldogs and also Hawks in week one, and also very likely acquiring Geelong in full week pair of). A surprise reduction to Essendon would certainly view Chris Fagan's side nervously viewing on Sunday to see how many groups pass all of them ... technically they can miss the 8 totally, however it is quite impractical for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and also complete 5th, bunch Carlton in a removal finalSelfish Cougars recorded shunning teammates|01:046. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To participate in: GWS Giants at Mars Stadium, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong and Brisbane shed, fifth if one sheds, 6th if each winLose: Finish sixth if Hawthorn, Carlton as well as Fremantle drop, 7th if 2 shed, 8th if one sheds, miss out on finals if they all winAnalysis: Aggravatingly for the Bulldogs, they can easily still miss out on the 8, even with possessing the AFL's second-best portion as well as thirteen victories (which no person has EVER skipped the 8 with). Actually it is actually a very genuine opportunity - they still need to function versus an in-form GWS to ensure their place in September. However that's not the only factor at stake the Pet dogs will guarantee themselves a home last with a success (likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), however regardless of whether they stay in the eight after shedding, they can be heading to Brisbane for that elimination final. At the various other edge of the sphere, there's still a tiny odds they may sneak in to the leading four, though it requires West Shoreline to trump Geelong in Geelong, and Essendon to beat Brisbane in Brisbane ... thereby a very small chance. Fox Footy's prophecy: Win and also end up sixth, 'hold' Hawthorn in a removal final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To play: North Melbourne at UTAS Coliseum, Sunday 4:35 pmWin: End up fourth if Geelong, Brisbane and also Western Bulldogs all lose AND Carlton sheds OR triumphes but goes bust to overtake all of them on percentage (approx. 4 objectives) 5th if 3 take place, sixth if two take place, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Fremantle loses as well as Carlton drops while staying overdue on portion, 8th if one drops, overlook finals if each winAnalysis: Our team would rather be actually the Hawks than the Bulldogs today, as a result of who they've acquired entrusted to face. Sam Mitchell's males are actually a win away from September, and merely require to take care of business versus an injury-hit N. Melbourne that appeared terrible versus mentioned Dogs on Sunday. There's also an incredibly small chance they creep in to the top four even more realistically they'll earn on their own an MCG removal final, either against the Pet dogs, Freo or Carlton. (The best-case circumstance is perhaps the Pets losing, so the Hawks complete 6th and also participate in cry.) If they're outplayed by North though, they're equally as frightened as the Canines, expecting Carlton and Fremantle to observe if they're evicted of the eight.Fox Footy's prophecy: Win as well as finish 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in a removal finalMagic of Hok-ball discussed|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To play: St Kilda at Marvel Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and Hawthorn all lose OR Hawks gain but fall back Woes on portion (approx. 4 goals), fifth if 3 occur, 6th if two take place, 7th if one occurs, 8th if none happenLose: Complete 7th if Hawthorn drops by good enough to fall back on amount as well as Fremantle sheds, 8th if one occurs, typically miss out on finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home condition actually helped them out this weekend. Fremantle's loss, combined along with the Blues' get West Coastline, finds all of them inside the eight and also also capable to participate in finals if they're upset by St Kilda following full week. (Though they 'd be actually left behind praying for Port to defeat Freo.) Genuinely they are actually going to want to trump the Saints to ensure on their own a place in September - and to give on their own a chance of an MCG elimination final. If both the Pet dogs and also Hawks lose, the Blues can also hold that final, though our company 'd be pretty surprised if the Hawks lost. Portion is likely to find in to play because of Carlton's big sway West Shore - they may need to have to pump the Saints to stay away from participating in Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's forecast: Gain as well as complete 8th, away to Brisbane in an eradication final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To play: Slot Adelaide at Optus Arena, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Complete sixth if Western Side Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton drop, 7th if pair of drop, 8th if one sheds, skip finals if each one of them winLose: Will certainly overlook finalsAnalysis: Oh terrific, an additional cause to loathe West Coastline. Their opponents' inability to trump the Blues' B-team implies the Dockers are at actual danger of their Sphere 24 video game ending up being a dead rubber. The equation is pretty straightforward - they require at least among the Canines, Hawks or Woes to lose just before they play Slot. If that takes place, the Dockers can succeed their means into September. If all three gain, they'll be eliminated by the time they get the field. (Technically Freo can likewise catch Brisbane on percentage yet it is actually extremely not likely.) Fox Footy's forecast: Lose and also overlook finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood can technically still play finals, yet requires to compose a percent void of 30+ goals to catch Carlton, plus Fremantle needs to shed.
