BRISBANE LIONS (13-6-1, 125.1%) Last week: Rated 1st, def St Kilda through 85 ptsThis week: GWS Giants at the Gabba, Saturday 1:45 pm2. WESTERN BULLDOGS (12-8, 122.4%) Last week: Rated second, def Melbourne by 51 ptsThis full week: Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pmWith the Swans diminishing a high cliff, if our team had to predict a Grand Final immediately, this would be it. It may not even be actually possible - if the Bulldogs can not fracture the best four, they can be on an inescapable clash in a prelim. But in a pair of games that our company presumed were potential banana peels, both they and also Brisbane were dominant. The Pets' defence is incredible immediately despite all their personnel problems, No. 2 for factors permitted and No. 1 for factors allowed coming from turnovers over the final 6 weeks, while the Lions have elevated in that division over that time frame at the same time (as well as they badly required to). Provided exactly how well Brisbane are going you really need to think about, would certainly they be the entirely dominant flag favorite immediately if they hadn't copped so many ACL accidents? To be within this setting provided those impacts is very exceptional, and the Bulldogs are actually as near to a major banner contender as they've been actually for a long times. What our experts've learned over the last handful of periods is that the AFL's efforts to take competitive balance imply teams may definitely get going mid-season and also surge in to the premiership ethnicity - our experts have to cease eliminating talented lists when they begin slowly.Kingy unleashes on 'startling' Swans|03:523. SYDNEY SWANS (14-6, 126.1%) Last week: Placed third, lost to Slot Adelaide through 112 ptsNo issue where you appear, Saturday night was actually embarrassingly unsatisfactory. There are just a couple of comparables to THIS type of reduction for an eventual premier, yet none were this poor. In reality no V/AFL premier has lost a game by much more than 100 factors that period, and also the greatest reduction through an ultimate premier in the AFL age was Port Adelaide receiving pumped through 92 points against the Kangaroos in Around 8, 2004. The much bigger problem is that this isn't practically the last 2 full weeks over the final six they are actually 17th for opposed ownerships, 18th for groundball receives, 18th for approvals, 17th for points coming from turnover differential as well as 15th for tension ranking. A blowout loss will certainly blow those stats out too however they have nothing like a premier's profile since the start of July. Thus why do our team still possess them 3rd? Well you don't sit a thousand video games very clear atop the ladder for no main reason maybe the remainder of the AFL has discovered all of them out yet our experts still possess some assurance the Swans can find something close to their greatest. As well as they need to still end up top two, which prepares all of them up as well as possible.This full week: Collingwood at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmLongmire counters at "egocentric" comments|01:004. PORT ADELAIDE (13-7, 113.6%) Recently: Rated 9th, def Sydney by 112 ptsUnfortunately for the Power, when you gain an activity by THAT much, the account is actually consistently about the dropping group as well as just how the heck they were that poor. So allow's offer Port some was worthy of praise, since they are truly seeming like a top-four group right now, and also might be major! Over the final 6 full weeks they are actually No. 2 in the AFL for factors scored, No. 1 for factors against, No. 3 for opposed possessions and No. 3 for spaces - yes the magnitude of the Sydney succeed tosses those stats out a little, however they have actually accurately found some actual kind. As well as if they have actually shut the gap between where they were actually, in that 5th to 8th bracket, down end of the best four they are actually really in the prelim ultimate nationality. Which would be actually a respectable end result offered the general character of disappointment this season has or else held.This full week: Melbourne at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm5. FREMANTLE (12-7-1, 116.7%) Last week: Rated 4th, dropped to Essendon through 1 ptIt need to be actually acquiring discouraging for Dockers supporters - their crew has lost 4 games they led at three-quarter-time this year, 2 greater than any person else. And it will've been actually a helpful win over the Bombers as well, provided the Swans' loss previously on the weekend. Regardless of all of them having to encounter 3 staffs sitting above all of them on the step ladder over the last three weeks our company're certainly not as well concerned they truly need to win their pair of remaining home games, which would certainly be enough to participate in finals, and also even on thirteen and also a fifty percent gains their great percent will in fact perform some excellent holding off Essendon. This isn't the Freo of recent - they are actually No. 1 for points scored over the last six weeks, and it's the very first time because 2013 they have actually been No. 1 in the compensation over any sort of six-week period.This week: Geelong at Optus Arena, Saturday 4:35 pmEmmett handed restriction for unsafe tackle|00:226. GWS GIANTS (13-7, 111.2%) Last week: Positioned 8th, def Hawthorn by 2 ptsThey looked nowhere near it by means of three fourths against the Hawks, but after that helped remind everyone of the worth of super stars. Toby Greene is actually fairly great, it appears. Potential Coleman victor Jesse Hogan has been excellent for 18 months. And also also Brent Daniels, among their even more underrated celebrities during the course of their current results, was a big think about the comeback along with an enormous 12 last-quarter disposals. Offered the Lions' protective absentees exists some possibility Hogan and also the team obtain the Brisbane back 6 as well as take a significant upset on Sunday? They are actually gon na require to gain another activity to participate in finals footy (and it may also be limited on 14 success) so they might also obtain it done ASAP.This full week: Brisbane Lions at the Gabba, Saturday 1:45 pmKingsley sparks balanced GWS settings|02:167. CARLTON (12-8, 112.1%) Last week: Rated 5th, lost to Collingwood by 3 ptsWe're visiting keep relying on cry up until they force our palm, given that there is actually still so much going their technique. Yes they've dropped 4 of their last 5 activities, however 3 of those were merely through a number of objectives, as well as last Saturday night was actually practically made a decision through a kick. Possibly extra notably they are actually still the No. 1 staff in the AFL for factors from turnover differential - the absolute most vital scoring source. A tremendous 19 of the last 20 crews to position No. 1 in that stat have actually created an initial ultimate or even better. They are actually one-sided, given that they are actually 16th for points from spaces over the last 6 weeks, but you prefer to be actually turnover-focused (as they are this year) than stoppage-focused (as they were actually last year). It will join a calamity if this crew overlooked the eight, given the requirements and also where they were simply a month back, however if they shed to the Hawks the option is actually live.This week: Hawthorn at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm8. GEELONG (13-7, 108.9%) Recently: Ranked sixth, def Adelaide by 5 ptsFunny how the Cats are actually both fairly well-placed in a limited finals race and also offering our team a lot less peace of mind in their premium concurrently. The frame most likely should not have been actually rather that tight versus Adelaide, but it was actually, as well as our experts most likely require to stop referring to Kardinia Playground as a fortress - given they're 5-3 in your home, two of those success getting singular digit frames. However once again, they are actually well-placed on 13 victories and along with West Shore at home to come in the final round. Squeeze a get the Dockers or even Street Kilda just before that, as well as they are actually well as well as really secure in the eight. There are still some factors for confidence, like Patrick Dangerfield finding form as well as the midfield conducting effectively total against the Crows, plus the defence has risen well over the final six weeks (No. 5 for factors acknowledged). However even though the best 4 is within reach, they don't believe that a best 4 team.This week: Fremantle at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 4:35 pmRobbo uncovers Tomahawks' best qualities|03:489. HAWTHORN (11-9, 104.1%) Recently: Positioned 7th, dropped to GWS by 2 ptsSunday's game is the best vital for any one group our team have actually observed up until now in 2024. That's since Hawthorn's outcome versus Carlton will effectively decide their season. They've acquired an agape road to 14 success along with a success, as well as no team has even skipped the leading 8 with thirteen wins prior to. But shed as well as they're possibly going to be actually pair of games away from the eight along with 2 to play, a just about unattainable position. They are actually still performing a lot right however the complication we understood about entering into the season, their defence, stands out at a hard time - over the last 6 full weeks they're No. 1 for within fifties against, however 17th for credit ratings every inside 50 versus. Therefore groups aren't getting it down there certainly much, however when they perform, they're scoring at will. There is actually a little misery in that however it is actually not all luck. As our experts've written previously, regardless of whether the Hawks miss out on the finals this period has actually been amazing, but jeez it 'd be actually disheartening when they're thus close to one of the greatest accounts in years.This full week: Carlton at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm10. ESSENDON (11-8-1, 95.9%) Last week: Ranked 12th, def Fremantle by 1 ptTurns out our company failed to remember exactly how essential Darcy Parish is to this staff. After a quiet very first video game back he was immense versus a star-studded Freo midfield. With him this season, the Bombers are +20 for open spaces and also +18 from facility allowances without him they're -17 and also +4 respectively. That draw Freo could possibly get all of them into the finals but there is actually also a legitimate opportunity someone skips along with 14 wins, especially if the Hawks beat Carlton this weekend break, as well as for the Bombers their draw and their inadequate percent have the exact same effect of making them shed sudden deaths. It would be actually fairly ruthless if they gained thirteen and also a fifty percent games and also missed out however concurrently, this is what takes place when you shed to non-finalists Melbourne, Adelaide and also Street Kilda - you participate in them.This full week: Gold Coastline Suns at Wonder Coliseum, Sunday 7:30 pm' He is actually protecting all of them coming from the pressure'|03:0311. COLLINGWOOD (10-8-2, 100.2%) Last week: Ranked 13th, def Carlton through 2 ptsSo the concern is, are they back? They need to become near their finest to bring in the 8 from here - Melbourne won't be betting anything in Round 24 so you will assume the Magpies succeed that a person, however dealing with the leading pair of over the following pair of full weeks is actually fairly challenging. Maybe they have actually timed this clash with Sydney well, yet our company're not confident Collingwood is good enough to trump the ladder innovators, even within this stressed state. It costs keeping in mind the Magpies are only 16th for inside 50s over the final 6 weeks, however third for ratings per inside 50, thus efficiency is keeping all of them going. Their protection has been actually nowhere near adequate over that time period so they're going to need to take their possibilities to stop the Swans, and if they perform, at that point the other competitors will definitely begin to fret. No one would like to experience a brought back Magpies in September.This full week: Sydney Swans at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmMagpies look for finals spot against swans|00:3012. MELBOURNE (10-10, 97.9%) Last week: Rated 10th, dropped to Western Bulldogs through 51 ptsFor the first time this years the Demons will definitely head in to the AFL time's dead zone, playing out the chain with nothing on the line. In such a way, being successfully away from the finals nationality need to be clearing - they may bet 2025, trialling gamers in brand new settings as well as delivering sore gamers in for early surgeries. After all look at Geelong as well as Fremantle, who switched extremely unsatisfying 2023 seasons into most likely 2024 finals berths you can not count out the ability of groups who have actually had success to just bounce back a year later on. Heck, Collingwood is actually the very best instance. Each one of this is why our team're not freaking out about Melbourne's situation certainly not up until midway via upcoming year, anyway.This full week: Slot Adelaide at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm13. GOLD SHORES SUNS (9-11, 100.4%) Recently: Ranked 11th, shed to West Coast by 10 ptsTheir home-away split is actually really incredible. Home ground perk is intended to be worth an objective or more - certainly not transform you coming from complete rubbish right into a top-four opponent! We understand our experts've been actually covering this all year however the tale has actually been the same all year ... just like the account of 'kinda being in the blend with 5-6 rounds left and after that falling apart' has coincided for this whole club for period after time. Acquire a brand new gimmick!This week: Essendon at Wonder Coliseum, Sunday 7:30 pmBuckley policies themself away from Eagles project|01:1814. ADELAIDE CROWS (7-12-1, 99.8%) Last week: Positioned 15th, shed to Geelong through 5 ptsThis week: Western Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pm15. ST KILDA (8-12, 94.9%) Last week: Ranked 14th, dropped to Brisbane by 85 ptsThis full week: Richmond at Marvel Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, as our experts said recently, these crews never have the exact same cause the very same weekend! Thus after Adelaide's loss on Saturday it's time to inspect the scores for the Saints' activity and-ah. Right. Never mind. Wherefore it costs the Crows possibly weren't as good as the scoreboard recommended, getting bashed in the competition by a less-than-impressive Geelong midfield, so they were each below average. Let's view if either team may participate in looter over the final three full weeks - the Saints can wreck Carlton or even Geelong's time, while the Crows can hurt the Canines yet even more importantly would enjoy to spoil Port's. Riewoldt goes over Dusty's well known profession|04:1316. WEST COASTLINE BALD EAGLES (4-16, 70%) Last week: Rated 18th, def Gold Coastline by 10 ptsThis full week: North Melbourne at Blundstone Arena, Sunday 1:45 pm17. NORTH MELBOURNE (3-17, 67%) Recently: Ranked 17th, def Richmond by 16 ptsThis week: West Coastline Eagles at Blundstone Field, Sunday 1:45 pm18. RICHMOND (2-18, 64.7%) Recently: Rated 16th, dropped to North Melbourne by 16 ptsThis full week: St Kilda at Wonder Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, the two-week Spoonbowl is actually possibly over, along with Richmond actually deserving the gain North - they won the activity on anticipated score, off the back of 60 inside 50s to 44 - but booting themselves into the No. 1 pick. (Which is possibly advantageous long-lasting.) Though to be fair, it's achievable the Kangaroos have really understood goalkicking, provided they are actually No. 1 in the AFL for accuracy this year. West Coastline at the same time was appropriately impressive against a crew playing for it period, along with a season-high stress score and also their third-best opposed ownerships succeed for the year. Since Jarrad Schofield took over the Eagles have gone coming from 17th in the AFL for pressure to eighth, which is a pretty good indicator they're playing for him. Right now all eyes look to North's try to finish outside all-time low 2 for the first time this years - while it would certainly still drop to portion, they would certainly reside in a good setting along with a succeed in Hobart.
