BRISBANE LIONS (13-6-1, 125.1%) Recently: Ranked 1st, def Street Kilda through 85 ptsThis week: GWS Giants at the Gabba, Saturday 1:45 pm2. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (12-8, 122.4%) Last week: Ranked 2nd, def Melbourne through 51 ptsThis week: Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pmWith the Swans falling off a high cliff, if our team needed to forecast a Grand Final at the moment, this would be it. It may certainly not even be feasible - if the Bulldogs can't break the top 4, they could be on an unavoidable clash in a prelim. Yet in a set of games that our team presumed were actually potential banana peels, both they as well as Brisbane were actually prevalent. The Canines' support is actually impressive at the moment even with all their employees problems, No. 2 for points permitted as well as No. 1 for points enabled from turnovers over the last six full weeks, while the Lions have actually elevated during that team over that duration also (and also they poorly needed to). Given exactly how well Brisbane are going you really must ask yourself, would they be actually the entirely leading flag preferred immediately if they hadn't copped many ACL injuries? To become in this posture offered those blows is quite impressive, as well as the Bulldogs are as near to a severe banner opponent as they've been actually for years. What our team have actually found out over the final handful of periods is that the AFL's efforts to deliver affordable equilibrium mean crews may truly start mid-season and surge right into the premiership ethnicity - our team must stop eliminating accomplished checklists when they begin slowly.Kingy lets loose on 'alarming' Swans|03:523. SYDNEY SWANS (14-6, 126.1%) Last week: Placed third, lost to Port Adelaide by 112 ptsNo matter where you appear, Saturday evening was embarrassingly poor. There are just a few comparables to THIS sort of loss for a resulting premier, however none were this negative. As a matter of fact no V/AFL premier has actually shed a video game by greater than 100 factors that season, as well as the largest loss through a possible premier in the AFL time was actually Port Adelaide receiving pushed by 92 aspects against the Kangaroos in Around 8, 2004. The much bigger issue is that this isn't nearly the last two weeks over the final six they're 17th for opposed belongings, 18th for groundball acquires, 18th for approvals, 17th for aspects coming from turnover differential as well as 15th for stress rating. A blowout loss is going to blow those stats out as well however they have nothing at all like a premier's account given that the begin of July. So why perform we still possess them third? Well you don't rest a thousand games crystal clear in addition to the ladder for no reason possibly the rest of the AFL has actually discovered them out yet we still have some confidence the Swans may discover one thing near to their absolute best. And also they must still finish leading pair of, which establishes all of them up in addition to possible.This full week: Collingwood at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmLongmire counters at "self-seeking" remarks|01:004. SLOT ADELAIDE (13-7, 113.6%) Last week: Rated 9th, def Sydney by 112 ptsUnfortunately for the Power, when you win a game by THAT much, the account is always concerning the shedding team and also how the hell they were actually that negative. So let's give Slot some was entitled to praise, due to the fact that they are actually really looking like a top-four crew immediately, as well as may be severe! Over the last six full weeks they're No. 2 in the AFL for aspects scored, No. 1 for points versus, No. 3 for disputed belongings as well as No. 3 for clearances - yes the immensity of the Sydney succeed throws those statistics out a little, however they've precisely discovered some true type. And if they have actually closed the gap in between where they were actually, during that 5th to 8th brace, to the bottom end of the top 4 they're genuinely in the prelim final ethnicity. Which will be a fair outcome given the basic character of irritation this period possesses or else held.This week: Melbourne at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm5. FREMANTLE (12-7-1, 116.7%) Recently: Ranked 4th, dropped to Essendon by 1 ptIt need to be obtaining frustrating for Dockers fans - their group has actually dropped four games they led at three-quarter-time this year, pair of much more than anyone else. And also it would certainly possess been actually a helpful get the Bombing planes too, offered the Swans' reduction previously on the weekend break. Despite all of them having to deal with 3 crews resting over all of them on the ladder over the last 3 weeks our company're not too anxious they truly need to gain their two staying home video games, which would be enough to play finals, and even on thirteen as well as a half gains their outstanding percent will actually carry out some good holding off Essendon. This isn't the Freo of the past - they are actually No. 1 for aspects racked up over the last six weeks, and also it is actually the very first time due to the fact that 2013 they have actually been actually No. 1 in the comp over any kind of six-week period.This full week: Geelong at Optus Arena, Sunday 4:35 pmEmmett handed restriction for dangerous deal with|00:226. GWS GIANTS (13-7, 111.2%) Last week: Ranked 8th, def Hawthorn by 2 ptsThey appeared nowhere near it through three one-fourths versus the Hawks, but at that point reminded everybody of the market value of celebrities. Toby Greene is quite excellent, it ends up. Potential Coleman winner Jesse Hogan has been awesome for 18 months. And also also Brent Daniels, among their even more underrated stars during the course of their recent excellence, was actually a significant consider the comeback with a monstrous 12 last-quarter fingertips. Offered the Lions' defensive absentees exists some opportunity Hogan and the crew acquire the Brisbane back six and also pull a severe upset on Saturday? They're gon na need to have to gain another activity to participate in finals footy (and it could even be strict on 14 victories) so they might too get it done ASAP.This full week: Brisbane Lions at the Gabba, Saturday 1:45 pmKingsley fires up balanced GWS settings|02:167. CARLTON (12-8, 112.1%) Recently: Placed 5th, lost to Collingwood by 3 ptsWe are actually going to always keep believing in cry until they compel our palm, since there is actually still a lot going their means. Yes they've shed four of their last 5 games, however 3 of those were actually only by a couple of targets, and also final Saturday night was literally decided by a kick. Probably much more importantly they are still the No. 1 staff in the AFL for factors coming from turnover differential - the most crucial racking up source. A whopping 19 of the last twenty teams to rank No. 1 in that stat have created a preliminary final or even better. They're prejudiced, since they're 16th for points coming from allowances over the last six full weeks, however you prefer to be actually turnover-focused (as they are this year) than stoppage-focused (as they were actually last year). It would certainly join a catastrophe if this staff missed the 8, given the assumptions and where they were only a month earlier, however if they lose to the Hawks the option is live.This week: Hawthorn at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm8. GEELONG (13-7, 108.9%) Last week: Rated sixth, def Adelaide by 5 ptsFunny just how the Pet cats are actually each rather well-placed in a tight finals ethnicity as well as providing our team a lot less assurance in their premium concurrently. The frame most likely shouldn't have been very that limited against Adelaide, however it was, and our company most likely need to stop referring to Kardinia Park as a barrier - offered they are actually 5-3 in your home, 2 of those victories getting solitary digit scopes. Yet again, they're well-placed on thirteen success as well as with West Shore in your home to follow in the ultimate around. Pinch a sway the Dockers or even Street Kilda prior to that, as well as they're effectively and truly risk-free in the eight. There are actually still some causes for peace of mind, like Patrick Dangerfield locating kind and also the midfield doing effectively overall against the Crows, plus the support has actually risen well over the last six full weeks (No. 5 for points conceded). Yet even though the best four is accessible, they do not seem like a leading 4 team.This week: Fremantle at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 4:35 pmRobbo exposes Tomahawks' highests|03:489. HAWTHORN (11-9, 104.1%) Recently: Placed 7th, shed to GWS by 2 ptsSunday's video game is the most necessary for any kind of one crew our experts have actually found so far in 2024. That's given that Hawthorn's outcome versus Carlton will efficiently determine their time. They've received a wide-open road to 14 wins along with a success, as well as no crew has actually even skipped the top 8 with 13 victories prior to. However drop and also they're possibly visiting be actually two games away from the 8 with pair of to participate in, a virtually unworkable posture. They are still carrying out a great deal right yet the problem we knew about entering into the period, their defence, stands out at a hard time - over the last six full weeks they are actually No. 1 for within 50s versus, however 17th for ratings per inside 50 versus. Thus groups may not be getting it down certainly there a lot, yet when they perform, they're scoring at last will and testament. There's a little bit of bad luck in that however it is actually not all fortune. As we have actually created previously, even if the Hawks skip the finals this time has actually been awesome, yet jeez it will be actually frustrating when they are actually thus near to one of the very best 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 through 1 ptTurns out our experts forgot how essential Darcy Church is actually to this team. After a silent 1st activity back he was actually astounding versus a star-studded Freo midfield. With him this period, the Bombers are +20 for spaces as well as +18 coming from facility clearances without him they are actually -17 and also +4 specifically. That sway Freo might get all of them into the finals yet there is actually also a genuine odds a person misses with 14 triumphes, especially if the Hawks defeated Carlton this weekend break, and also for the Bombing planes their draw and their inadequate amount possess the exact same result of making all of them lose tiebreakers. It would certainly be pretty brutal if they gained 13 and an one-half video games as well as lost out yet together, this is what happens when you lose to non-finalists Melbourne, Adelaide as well as Street Kilda - you participate in them.This week: Gold Coast Suns at Wonder Coliseum, Saturday 7:30 pm' He is actually securing all of them from the pressure'|03:0311. COLLINGWOOD (10-8-2, 100.2%) Last week: Positioned 13th, def Carlton through 2 ptsSo the concern is, are they back? They require to be near their ideal to make the 8 away - Melbourne won't be actually playing for anything in Round 24 so you would certainly think the Magpies succeed that, but encountering the leading two over the next pair of weeks is rather difficult. Possibly they've timed this encounter Sydney effectively, but our team are actually not convinced Collingwood suffices to defeat the step ladder forerunners, also in this particular stressed state. It's worth keeping in mind the Magpies are actually merely 16th for inside 50s over the last 6 weeks, yet third for scores per inside 50, so efficiency is actually maintaining all of them going. Their defence has been actually no place near good enough over that duration so they're mosting likely to need to have to take their odds to cease the Swans, as well as if they perform, then the other contenders will certainly begin to panic. No one wishes to face a revitalized Magpies in September.This week: Sydney Swans at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmMagpies find finals find versus swans|00:3012. MELBOURNE (10-10, 97.9%) Last week: Positioned 10th, shed to Western Bulldogs by 51 ptsFor the first time this many years the Demons will move right into the AFL period's dead region, participating in out the string with nothing at all on the line. In a way, being actually successfully away from the finals ethnicity must be clearing - they may bet 2025, trialling players in brand new settings and delivering aching players in for very early surgical treatments. It goes without saying check out Geelong and Fremantle, who turned really frustrating 2023 seasons in to probably 2024 finals berths you can not suspend the potential of crews that have actually had excellence to just recover a year eventually. Hell, Collingwood is actually the very best instance. Each one of this is actually why our company're not panicking about Melbourne's scenario certainly not till midway via upcoming year, anyway.This week: Port Adelaide at the MCG, Sunday 7:30 pm13. GOLD COAST SUNS (9-11, 100.4%) Last week: Positioned 11th, shed to West Shore through 10 ptsTheir home-away split is genuinely staggering. Home ground conveniences is actually intended to be worth a target or two - certainly not transform you from downright rubbish into a top-four opponent! We know our team have actually been actually writing about this all year yet the account has actually coincided all year ... similar to the account of 'kinda residing in the combine with 5-6 rounds left behind and after that collapsing' has actually coincided for this whole nightclub for time after time. Receive a brand-new gimmick!This week: Essendon at Wonder Stadium, Sunday 7:30 pmBuckley guidelines themself away from Eagles project|01:1814. ADELAIDE CROWS (7-12-1, 99.8%) Last week: Rated 15th, lost to Geelong through 5 ptsThis week: Western Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pm15. ST KILDA (8-12, 94.9%) Recently: Ranked 14th, lost to Brisbane through 85 ptsThis full week: Richmond at Wonder Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, as our experts claimed last week, these teams never have the same lead to the exact same weekend break! Therefore after Adelaide's loss on Saturday it's opportunity to check the scores for the Saints' activity and-ah. Right. Don't bother. Wherefore it costs the Crows probably weren't comparable to the scoreboard suggested, getting belted in the competition by a less-than-impressive Geelong midfield, so they were actually each wanting. Permit's find if either staff can easily play looter over the last 3 weeks - the Saints could ruin Carlton or Geelong's time, while the Crows could possibly hurt the Pets yet additional notably will like to spoil Slot's. Riewoldt goes over Dusty's famed profession|04:1316. WEST SHORELINE BALD EAGLES (4-16, 70%) Recently: Ranked 18th, def Gold Coast by 10 ptsThis full week: North Melbourne at Blundstone Arena, Sunday 1:45 pm17. NORTH MELBOURNE (3-17, 67%) Last week: Placed 17th, def Richmond through 16 ptsThis full week: West Shore Eagles at Blundstone Arena, Saturday 1:45 pm18. RICHMOND (2-18, 64.7%) Last week: Rated 16th, shed to North Melbourne through 16 ptsThis week: Street Kilda at Wonder Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, the two-week Spoonbowl is actually probably over, along with Richmond in fact deserving the sway North - they succeeded the activity on assumed score, off the rear of 60 inside 50s to 44 - however booting on their own in to the No. 1 selection. (Which is perhaps for the very best lasting.) Though to become reasonable, it is actually possible the Kangaroos have in fact mastered goalkicking, offered they're No. 1 in the AFL for reliability this year. West Shore meanwhile was actually appropriately excellent versus a team having fun for it season, along with a season-high stress ranking and their third-best contested belongings gain for the year. Given that Jarrad Schofield took over the Eagles have gone from 17th in the AFL for stress to 8th, which is actually a decent indicator they are actually playing for him. Right now all eyes look to North's try to finish outside the bottom two for the very first time this decade - while it will still drop to percent, they will reside in an excellent posture with a succeed in Hobart.
