Otherwise Dockers are actually playing to take among them away from the eight- Can easily end up as higher as sixth if all 3 of those staffs lose- Port Adelaide is actually playing for second if GWS beat the Bulldogs earlier in the day- Can easily fall as low as fourth with a loss if Geelong positively thumps West CoastDees may only trade Trac to ONE team|00:53 CURRENT PREDICTED WEEK 1 OF FINALSFirst Qualifying Final (first lots fourth): Sydney Swans vs Geelong at the SCGFirst Removal Final (5th lots 8th): Brisbane Lions vs Carlton at the GabbaSecond Elimination Final (sixth multitudes 7th): Western Bulldogs vs Hawthorn at the MCGSecond Qualifying Final (2nd bunches 3rd): Slot Adelaide vs GWS Giants at Adelaide OvalCURRENT PREDICTED ULTIMATE LADDER1.

All times AEST.Adams to likely skip an additional 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 actually no sensible scenarios where the Swans lose big to gain the slight premiership. There are actually unrealistic ones, though! A 100-point reduction, while Port Adelaide defeats Fremantle through 100 aspects, will carry out it.Fox Footy's prediction: Win and finish first, lot Geelong in a training final2. SLOT ADELAIDE (15-7, 114.2%) To play: Fremantle at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: End up 2nd if GWS loses OR success and does not compose 7-8 objective portion space, 3rd if GWS triumphes as well as comprises 7-8 goal percent gapLose: Finish second if GWS drops (and also Port may not be trumped through 7-8 objectives much more than the Giants), 3rd if GWS wins, 4th in very unexpected situation Geelong wins and composes substantial portion gapAnalysis: The Energy will possess the perk of understanding their precise situation moving right into their last activity, though there is actually an extremely actual possibility they'll be actually virtually latched in to 2nd. As well as in either case they're heading to be playing in the Second Qualifying Final. Their percentage lead on GWS is approximately 7-8 goals, as well as on Geelong it's closer to 20, so they're possibly certainly not acquiring captured by the Felines. As a result if the Giants succeed, the Power is going to need to succeed to lock up 2nd spot - but just as long as they do not acquire whipped through a determined Dockers edge, portion shouldn't be actually a trouble. (If they gain through a number of goals, GWS would need to have to succeed through 10 targets to capture them, etc) Fox Footy's prediction: Gain as well as finish second, bunch GWS in a training final3. GWS GIANTS (15-7, 111.7%) To play: Western Bulldogs at Mars Stadium, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete second if Port Adelaide sheds OR success but gives up 7-8 target bait percentage, 3rd if Slot Adelaide succeeds as well as has percent leadLose: End up second if Slot Adelaide is actually beaten by 7-8 goals greater than they are, third if Port Adelaide gains OR loses but has portion top AND Geelong drops OR success and also does not comprise 10-goal percentage space, fourth if Geelong victories and also makes up 10-goal percentage gapAnalysis: They're locked right into the leading 4, and also are actually very likely having fun in the 2nd vs third qualifying last, though Geelong definitely knows how to surge West Coastline at GMHBA Coliseum. That is actually the only technique the Giants would certainly leave of participating in Port Adelaide a massive succeed by the Cats on Saturday (our team are actually chatting 10+ goals) and after that a Giants reduction to the Bulldogs on Sunday. If the Pussy-cats don't succeed significant (or succeed in all), the Giants is going to be playing for organizing liberties to the 2nd Qualifying Final. They may either compose a 7-8 objective void in portion to pass Slot Adelaide, or even merely really hope Freo trumps them.Fox Footy's forecast: Shed and complete 3rd, away to Port Adelaide in a qualifying finalZach Tuohy explains decision to resign|00:534. GEELONG (14-8, 107.7%) To play: West Coast Eagles at GMHBA Coliseum, Saturday 1:45 pmWin: End up 3rd if GWS drops and quits 10-goal percent top, 4th if GWS gains OR loses yet holds onto portion top (fringe instance they can easily meet 2nd with huge gain) Lose: End Up fourth if Brisbane, Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and Carlton lose, fifth if 3 lose, sixth if two lose, 7th if one drops, 8th if they all winAnalysis: Well, they really tightened that one up. Coming from looking like they were actually visiting construct percentage as well as secure a top-four area, now the Kitties need to gain just to promise themselves the dual chance, along with 4 teams wishing they shed to West Shoreline so they can easily squeeze fourth coming from all of them. On the bonus edge, this is the absolute most unequal match in modern footy, along with the Eagles losing 9 direct vacations to Kardinia Playground by around 10+ goals. It's not unlikely to envision the Pussy-cats winning through that margin, and also in blend with even a slender GWS reduction, they would certainly be actually moving in to an away training ultimate vs Port Adelaide (for the third time in five periods!). Otherwise a win ought to deliver all of them to the SCG. If the Pussy-cats in fact shed, they will certainly easily be delivered right into a removal ultimate on our predictions, right to 8th! Fox Footy's prophecy: Win as well as complete 4th, away to Sydney in a training final5. BRISBANE COUGARS (13-8-1, 121.6%) To participate in: Essendon at the Gabba, Sunday 7:30 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong sheds, fifth if Geelong winsLose: Complete fifth if Western side Bulldogs shed and also Hawthorn drop AND Carlton drop as well as Fremantle drop OR gain but lose big to beat large amount void, sixth if 3 of those occur, 7th if 2 happen, 8th if one happens, overlook finals if none happenAnalysis: Not merely did they police an additional excruciating loss to the Pies, however they acquired the inappropriate group over them shedding! If the Lions were actually entering Round 24 expecting Port or even GWS to shed, they 'd still have an actual chance at the leading 4, however absolutely Geelong does not lose in your home to West Shore? So long as the Pussy-cats finish the job, the Lions should be tied for a removal final. Beating the Bombing planes would after that ensure them fifth place (and also is actually the edge of the brace you want, if it suggests staying clear of the Bulldogs as well as Hawks in full week one, and also probably obtaining Geelong in week 2). A shock reduction to Essendon will view Chris Fagan's side nervously checking out on Sunday to see how many teams pass them ... technically they could overlook the eight entirely, yet it is actually really outlandish for Fremantle to pass them.Fox Footy's prediction: Succeed and complete 5th, multitude Carlton in a removal finalSelfish Cougars recorded rejecting teammates|01:046. WESTERN BULLDOGS (13-9, 123.8%) To participate in: GWS Giants at Mars Coliseum, Sunday 12:30 pmWin: Complete fourth if Geelong and Brisbane drop, 5th if one drops, 6th if both winLose: Finish 6th if Hawthorn, Carlton as well as Fremantle lose, 7th if 2 shed, 8th if one drops, miss finals if they all winAnalysis: Aggravatingly for the Bulldogs, they may still miss out on the 8, in spite of possessing the AFL's second-best percentage and also 13 victories (which no person has ever before missed the 8 along with). In fact it's an extremely true probability - they still need to have to take care of business versus an in-form GWS to promise their area in September. However that's not the only trait at risk the Canines will assure themselves a home final with a success (very likely at the MCG vs Hawthorn), however even if they stay in the eight after dropping, they may be moving to Brisbane for that elimination last. At the other end of the sphere, there's still a tiny possibility they can creep right into the top 4, though it demands West Shoreline to defeat Geelong in Geelong, and Essendon to beat Brisbane in Brisbane ... therefore a very small chance. Fox Footy's prophecy: Gain as well as finish 6th, 'range' Hawthorn in a removal final7. HAWTHORN (13-9, 111.8%) To participate in: North Melbourne at UTAS Stadium, Saturday 4:35 pmWin: End up fourth if Geelong, Brisbane and also Western Bulldogs all drop and also Carlton drops OR success yet crashes to overtake them on percentage (approx. 4 objectives) 5th if 3 occur, sixth if two occur, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: End up 7th if Fremantle loses as well as Carlton loses while staying overdue on percent, 8th if one loses, miss finals if each winAnalysis: We prefer to be actually the Hawks than the Bulldogs right now, because of who they have actually received delegated to deal with. Sam Mitchell's men are a succeed out of September, and also merely need to have to perform versus an injury-hit Northern Melbourne that looked horrendous versus said Pet dogs on Sunday. There's also a really long shot they sneak into the leading four additional reasonably they'll get themselves an MCG elimination last, either versus the Pets, Freo or Carlton. (The best-case case is possibly the Pets dropping, so the Hawks finish 6th as well as participate in cry.) If they are actually outplayed through North though, they are actually just like terrified as the Canines, expecting Carlton and also Fremantle to find if they're kicked out of the eight.Fox Footy's forecast: Win as well as complete 7th, 'away' to Western Bulldogs in an elimination finalMagic of Hok-ball described|03:418. CARLTON (13-9, 110.7%) To participate in: St Kilda at Marvel Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWin: End up fourth if Geelong, Brisbane, Western Bulldogs and also Hawthorn all lose OR Hawks win however fall behind Blues on percentage (approx. 4 targets), 5th if three happen, 6th if pair of occur, 7th if one takes place, 8th if none happenLose: Finish 7th if Hawthorn sheds by sufficient to fall behind on amount as well as Fremantle sheds, 8th if one takes place, typically overlook finalsAnalysis: Crippa's home condition actually aided all of them out this weekend. Fremantle's reduction, blended along with cry' gain West Coast, observes them inside the eight and also even capable to play finals if they are actually upset through Street Kilda following week. (Though they will be actually left praying for Slot to trump Freo.) Realistically they're going to desire to defeat the Saints to guarantee on their own a spot in September - as well as to give themselves an opportunity of an MCG removal ultimate. If both the Pet dogs as well as Hawks drop, the Blues can even throw that final, though our company would certainly be actually fairly surprised if the Hawks lost. Percent is likely to find in to play because of Carlton's large draw West Coastline - they may require to pump 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 play: Port Adelaide at Optus Stadium, Sunday 6:10 pmWin: End up sixth if Western Bulldogs, Hawthorn and also Carlton drop, 7th if pair of drop, 8th if one sheds, overlook finals if every one of them winLose: Will miss finalsAnalysis: Oh wonderful, yet another explanation to despise West Shoreline. Their opponents' incapability to trump the Blues' B-team implies the Dockers are at real danger of their Sphere 24 video game becoming a lifeless rubber. The formula is rather simple - they require at least some of the Pet dogs, Hawks or Woes to drop prior to they play Slot. If that takes place, the Dockers may gain their way into September. If all 3 succeed, they'll be actually eliminated by the time they take the field. (Technically Freo may likewise catch Brisbane on amount yet it is actually very not likely.) Fox Footy's forecast: Lose and also miss out on finals10. COLLINGWOOD (11-9-2, 100.1%) Collingwood can theoretically still participate in finals, but requires to compose an amount void of 30+ objectives to record Carlton, plus Fremantle has to shed.
