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 Lose: Finish 1stAnalysis: There are no practical cases where the Swans go under to win the minor premiership. There are actually impractical ones, though! A 100-point reduction, while Port Adelaide defeats Fremantle by 100 factors, would certainly carry out it.Fox Footy's forecast: Gain and finish first, host Geelong in a qualifying final2. PORT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To play: Fremantle at Optus Stadium, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: Finish second if GWS drops OR wins and does not compose 7-8 target portion void, 3rd if GWS wins as well as composes 7-8 objective percent gapLose: End up 2nd if GWS sheds (as well as Slot may not be beaten by 7-8 objectives greater than the Giants), third if GWS succeeds, 4th in very unlikely circumstance Geelong wins and comprises extensive percent gapAnalysis: The Energy will definitely possess the advantage of knowing their precise case moving right into their ultimate video game, though there's a very actual possibility they'll be essentially locked into 2nd. And either way they're going to be actually playing in the Second Qualifying Final. Their portion lead on GWS is actually about 7-8 targets, and also on Geelong it's closer to twenty, so they're possibly certainly not acquiring captured by the Cats. Therefore if the Giants succeed, the Power is going to require to succeed to lock up 2nd spot - but just as long as they don't get thrashed by a despairing Dockers side, percent shouldn't be actually a trouble. (If they gain by a number of objectives, GWS would certainly need to win by 10 objectives to record them, and so on) Fox Footy's prediction: Succeed and also end up 2nd, bunch GWS in a certifying final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To participate in: Western Bulldogs at Mars Stadium, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete 2nd if Slot Adelaide sheds OR wins but loses hope 7-8 objective bait amount, 3rd if Slot Adelaide succeeds as well as keeps percentage leadLose: Finish 2nd if Slot Adelaide is trumped through 7-8 objectives more than they are, third if Slot Adelaide wins OR drops yet has percent top and also Geelong drops OR success and also does not comprise 10-goal percentage void, fourth if Geelong success and composes 10-goal percentage gapAnalysis: They are actually secured into the leading four, as well as are actually likely having fun in the second vs 3rd qualifying last, though Geelong absolutely recognizes just how to punish West Shore at GMHBA Arena. That's the only way the Giants will drop out of participating in Slot Adelaide an enormous gain due to the Pussy-cats on Sunday (our company are actually talking 10+ objectives) and afterwards a Giants loss to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Pussy-cats do not win big (or even win in all), the Giants will definitely be betting throwing civil rights to the 2nd Qualifying Final. They may either compose a 7-8 target space in portion to pass Slot Adelaide, or even only hope Freo defeats them.Fox Footy's prophecy: Drop and also end up third, away to Slot Adelaide in a training finalZach Tuohy details choice to retire|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To participate in: West Shore Eagles at GMHBA Arena, Saturday 1:45 pmWin: Finish 3rd if GWS sheds as well as quits 10-goal percentage lead, 4th if GWS wins OR sheds yet holds onto amount lead (fringe circumstance they may meet 2nd with massive gain) Lose: Complete 4th if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and also Carlton shed, 5th if 3 lose, 6th if pair of lose, 7th if one loses, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they truly tightened that people up. From seeming like they were visiting create percentage as well as lock up a top-four location, now the Kitties need to win only to guarantee themselves the dual chance, along with four groups hoping they shed to West Shore so they can easily pinch fourth coming from them. On the bonus edge, this is the most lopsided matchup in modern-day footy, with the Eagles shedding 9 direct journeys to Kardinia Park by approximately 10+ objectives. It is actually not outlandish to envision the Felines succeeding through that margin, as well as in combination along with even a slim GWS reduction, they would certainly be heading right into an away qualifying ultimate vs Port Adelaide (for the 3rd attend five seasons!). Typically a win need to send all of them to the SCG. If the Felines in fact drop, they are going to likely be actually delivered in to an eradication final on our prophecies, right to 8th! Fox Footy's prophecy: Win as well as end up 4th, away to Sydney in a qualifying final5. BRISBANE LIONS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To participate in: Essendon at the Gabba, Saturday 7:30 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong loses, fifth if Geelong winsLose: Finish 5th if Western Bulldogs lose as well as Hawthorn drop and also Carlton shed and also Fremantle shed OR gain but fail to get rid of big percentage space, sixth if 3 of those happen, 7th if pair of take place, 8th if one takes place, skip finals if none happenAnalysis: Certainly not simply did they police officer an additional very painful loss to the Pies, but they acquired the incorrect team above them shedding! If the Lions were entering Shot 24 anticipating Slot or even GWS to lose, they 'd still possess an actual chance at the leading four, however certainly Geelong does not shed in your home to West Shoreline? Provided that the Pussy-cats do the job, the Lions need to be tied for an elimination last. Beating the Bombers would after that ensure all of them fifth place (and that is actually the edge of the bracket you yearn for, if it means staying clear of the Bulldogs as well as Hawks in week one, and also likely obtaining Geelong in full week pair of). A surprise reduction to Essendon would find Chris Fagan's side nervously viewing on Sunday to view the number of teams pass all of them ... technically they can overlook the eight entirely, however it is actually really outlandish for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's forecast: Gain as well as complete 5th, lot Carlton in an elimination finalSelfish Lions recorded steering clear of teammates|01:046. WESTERN BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To play: GWS Giants at Mars Arena, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete 4th if Geelong and Brisbane lose, 5th if one loses, 6th if each winLose: End up 6th if Hawthorn, Carlton as well as Fremantle shed, 7th if pair of lose, 8th if one loses, overlook finals if they all winAnalysis: Aggravatingly for the Bulldogs, they may still skip the eight, despite possessing the AFL's second-best amount and thirteen wins (which no one has ever before missed out on the eight along with). In fact it's an incredibly genuine option - they still need to have to take care of business against an in-form GWS to promise their place in September. But that is actually certainly not the only factor at risk the Pets would promise themselves a home final with a triumph (likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), however even if they remain in the eight after shedding, they can be moving to Brisbane for that removal final. At the various other edge of the spectrum, there's still a very small opportunity they may sneak right into the best four, though it requires West Coast to trump Geelong in Geelong, and Essendon to beat Brisbane in Brisbane ... therefore a small chance. Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain as well as end up 6th, 'hold' Hawthorn in an elimination final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To play: North Melbourne at UTAS Coliseum, Saturday 4:35 pmWin: Finish fourth if Geelong, Brisbane and also Western Bulldogs all drop and also Carlton drops OR triumphes but loses big to surpass them on percent (approx. 4 targets) fifth if three happen, sixth if pair of happen, 7th if one happens, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Fremantle drops and also Carlton loses while remaining overdue on percentage, 8th if one sheds, skip finals if each winAnalysis: Our team would rather be actually the Hawks than the Bulldogs now, as a result of that they have actually got left to encounter. Sam Mitchell's males are actually a gain far from September, as well as only need to have to perform against an injury-hit N. Melbourne that appeared dreadful against stated Dogs on Sunday. There's even a very long shot they slip right into the top 4 additional truthfully they'll get themselves an MCG removal ultimate, either against the Canines, Freo or even Carlton. (The best-case situation is perhaps the Dogs losing, so the Hawks complete 6th and play cry.) If they are actually outplayed by North though, they're just like intimidated as the Canines, waiting for Carlton and Fremantle to observe if they're rejected of the eight.Fox Footy's prediction: Win and finish 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in an elimination finalMagic of Hok-ball revealed|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To play: Street Kilda at Marvel Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: Finish 4th if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and Hawthorn all lose OR Hawks win yet fall back Woes on amount (approx. 4 goals), 5th if three happen, 6th if 2 occur, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Hawthorn drops through sufficient to fall behind on percentage AND Fremantle sheds, 8th if one happens, or else overlook finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home state definitely assisted all of them out this weekend. Fremantle's loss, combined along with cry' gain West Shore, sees all of them inside the eight as well as also able to participate in finals if they're outplayed by Street Kilda upcoming full week. (Though they will be left behind wishing Slot to trump Freo.) Reasonably they are actually heading to desire to beat the Saints to assure themselves a location in September - and to provide on their own a possibility of an MCG removal ultimate. If both the Dogs and Hawks lose, cry might even organize that ultimate, though our company would certainly be pretty surprised if the Hawks shed. Amount is most likely to come in to play due to Carlton's large gain West Coast - they might need to have to push the Saints to avoid playing Brisbane in Brisbane.Fox Footy's prediction: Win and also end up 8th, away to Brisbane in an eradication final9. FREMANTLE (12-9-1, 113.7%) To participate in: Port Adelaide at Optus Stadium, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: End up sixth if Western Side Bulldogs, Hawthorn as well as Carlton drop, 7th if two shed, 8th if one loses, miss out on finals if each of them winLose: Are going to overlook finalsAnalysis: Oh fantastic, an additional factor to dislike West Shore. Their opponents' failure to beat the Blues' B-team implies the Dockers are at actual risk of their Sphere 24 game ending up being a lifeless rubber. The formula is actually rather simple - they need at the very least some of the Pets, Hawks or Blues to drop prior to they play Slot. If that happens, the Dockers can succeed their method right into September. If all three win, they'll be done away with due to the opportunity they take the industry. (Technically Freo can easily likewise capture Brisbane on percent yet it's incredibly improbable.) Fox Footy's prediction: Drop as well as overlook finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood may actually still play finals, yet needs to have to make up a percentage void of 30+ objectives to record Carlton, plus Fremantle needs to lose.
