BRISBANE COUGARS (13-6-1, 125.1%) Recently: Positioned 1st, def Street Kilda by 85 ptsThis full week: GWS Giants at the Gabba, Sunday 1:45 pm2. WESTERN BULLDOGS (12-8, 122.4%) Recently: Positioned 2nd, def Melbourne by 51 ptsThis full week: Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pmWith the Swans diminishing a cliff, if our experts had to anticipate a Grand Final now, this would be it. It might certainly not also be possible - if the Bulldogs can't split the best four, they may be on an inescapable collision course in a prelim. But in a set of activities that our experts presumed were actually possible banana peelings, both they and also Brisbane were dominant. The Pets' protection is amazing at the moment even with all their staffs issues, No. 2 for points permitted as well as No. 1 for factors allowed coming from turnovers over the last 6 full weeks, while the Lions have actually elevated during that team over that time frame too (and also they horribly required to). Provided just how effectively Brisbane are going you really have to ask yourself, would they be the utterly prevalent banner favorite today if they had not copped a lot of ACL personal injuries? To be in this position given those impacts is incredibly outstanding, as well as the Bulldogs are actually as close to a serious banner opponent as they've been actually for a long times. What our company have actually found out over the final handful of times is actually that the AFL's attempts to bring reasonable harmony imply staffs can definitely get going mid-season as well as surge into the premiership race - we need to stop ruling out gifted listings when they start slowly.Kingy unleashes on 'startling' Swans|03:523. SYDNEY SWANS (14-6, 126.1%) Recently: Ranked 3rd, dropped to Slot Adelaide by 112 ptsNo issue where you look, Sunday night was embarrassingly poor. There are just a couple of comparables to THIS kind of reduction for a resulting premier, yet none of them were this bad. As a matter of fact no V/AFL premier has shed an activity by greater than 100 points that season, and the biggest loss by a possible premier in the AFL time was actually Port Adelaide getting pumped through 92 points versus the Kangaroos in Round 8, 2004. The greater complication is actually that this isn't nearly the last pair of weeks over the last six they are actually 17th for contended possessions, 18th for groundball acquires, 18th for clearances, 17th for points from turnover differential as well as 15th for pressure rating. A blowout reduction will definitely blow those statistics out too but they have absolutely nothing like a premier's profile considering that the start of July. So why perform our experts still possess all of them 3rd? Well you don't rest a thousand games crystal clear in addition to the step ladder for no explanation maybe the rest of the AFL has actually found all of them out but our company still have some peace of mind the Swans can easily discover one thing near their greatest. And they must still finish leading pair of, which specifies them up and also possible.This week: Collingwood at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmLongmire counters at "egocentric" comments|01:004. SLOT ADELAIDE (13-7, 113.6%) Last week: Rated 9th, def Sydney through 112 ptsUnfortunately for the Power, when you succeed an activity through THAT much, the tale is always about the dropping team and also just how the heck they were actually that poor. Therefore let's give Slot some was entitled to approval, due to the fact that they are absolutely seeming like a top-four crew at this moment, and may be serious! Over the last six full weeks they're No. 2 in the AFL for points racked up, No. 1 for aspects against, No. 3 for opposed possessions and also No. 3 for spaces - yes the measurement of the Sydney win throws those statistics out a little bit, however they have actually plainly found some real kind. And also if they have actually closed the gap in between where they were, in that 5th to 8th bracket, down end of the leading four they are actually genuinely in the prelim ultimate ethnicity. Which would certainly be actually a good end result given the general atmosphere of aggravation this period possesses or else held.This full week: Melbourne at the MCG, Sunday 7:30 pm5. FREMANTLE (12-7-1, 116.7%) Last week: Placed fourth, dropped to Essendon through 1 ptIt must be receiving irritating for Dockers fans - their crew has actually dropped 4 activities they led at three-quarter-time this year, 2 much more than anyone else. And also it would certainly've been actually a helpful gain the Bombers as well, provided the Swans' reduction earlier on the weekend. Even with them must deal with 3 crews sitting above all of them on the step ladder over the final three full weeks our team're certainly not too concerned they actually ought to gain their 2 remaining home games, which would suffice to participate in finals, and even on thirteen as well as a half wins their great amount would in fact do some really good holding off Essendon. This isn't the Freo of recent - they're No. 1 for factors scored over the final 6 weeks, and it is actually the very first time since 2013 they've been No. 1 in the over any sort of six-week period.This full week: Geelong at Optus Stadium, Sunday 4:35 pmEmmett handed restriction for dangerous address|00:226. GWS GIANTS (13-7, 111.2%) Last week: Positioned 8th, def Hawthorn through 2 ptsThey appeared no place near it by means of three fourths against the Hawks, however at that point helped remind every person of the market value of celebrities. Toby Greene is actually quite good, it appears. Potential Coleman champion Jesse Hogan has been actually fantastic for 18 months. As well as even Brent Daniels, one of their more underrated superstars throughout their current results, was actually a large factor in the comeback with a tremendous 12 last-quarter disposals. Offered the Lions' protective absentees is there some possibility Hogan as well as the crew get a hold of the Brisbane back six and also take a severe trouble on Sunday? They're gon na require to gain another video game to participate in finals footy (as well as it could even be strict on 14 victories) so they may too acquire it carried out ASAP.This full week: Brisbane Lions at the Gabba, Saturday 1:45 pmKingsley sparks wholesome GWS settings|02:167. CARLTON (12-8, 112.1%) Last week: Rated 5th, dropped to Collingwood through 3 ptsWe're visiting always keep believing in the Blues till they force our palm, since there's still so much going their technique. Yes they have actually lost four of their final five games, but three of those were actually only by a couple of targets, and also last Sunday evening was practically made a decision by a zing. Probably extra significantly they are still the No. 1 team in the AFL for points from turnover differential - the absolute most essential scoring resource. An immense 19 of the final 20 crews to rank No. 1 during that stat have created an initial ultimate or better. They are actually one-sided, due to the fact that they are actually 16th for aspects coming from open spaces over the last six weeks, but you 'd rather be turnover-focused (as they are this year) than stoppage-focused (as they were actually in 2014). It will be close to a disaster if this team missed out on the 8, given the requirements and where they were simply a month earlier, yet if they lose to the Hawks the opportunity is live.This full week: Hawthorn at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm8. GEELONG (13-7, 108.9%) Last week: Positioned 6th, def Adelaide through 5 ptsFunny exactly how the Cats are each pretty well-placed in a strict finals race and providing our company much less confidence in their top quality at the same time. The margin probably should not have actually been very that tight against Adelaide, but it was, and also our experts perhaps require to stop talking about Kardinia Playground as a barrier - given they are actually 5-3 at home, 2 of those triumphes coming by single finger scopes. Yet once again, they're well-placed on 13 victories and also along with West Coast in the home to follow in the last round. Pinch a sway the Dockers or Street Kilda prior to that, as well as they're effectively as well as truly safe in the 8. There are still some explanations for assurance, like Patrick Dangerfield discovering kind and also the midfield performing extremely well general versus the Crows, plus the defence has stood more than the last six full weeks (No. 5 for points conceded). But despite the fact that the leading 4 is available, they do not seem like a leading four team.This full week: Fremantle at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 4:35 pmRobbo reveals Tomahawks' best qualities|03:489. HAWTHORN (11-9, 104.1%) Recently: Rated 7th, dropped to GWS through 2 ptsSunday's activity is actually one of the most necessary for any type of one team our company've found up until now in 2024. That's considering that Hawthorn's outcome versus Carlton are going to properly determine their period. They've acquired an agape road to 14 wins along with a success, as well as no staff has even overlooked the leading eight with thirteen wins before. However drop and also they are actually perhaps going to be actually 2 activities away from the 8 along with 2 to play, a practically unrecoverable posture. They are still doing a whole lot right but the complication we understood regarding coming into the period, their defence, stands out at a hard time - over the final six full weeks they are actually No. 1 for within 50s versus, but 17th for ratings per inside 50 versus. So groups may not be ascertaining there certainly much, yet when they perform, they're scoring at last will and testament. There's a little misery because however it's not all luck. As our experts have actually created previously, even if the Hawks overlook the finals this time has actually been actually amazing, however jeez it 'd be discouraging when they're therefore near some of the most ideal stories in years.This week: Carlton at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm10. ESSENDON (11-8-1, 95.9%) Last week: Positioned 12th, def Fremantle by 1 ptTurns out our experts overlooked how vital Darcy Parish is to this crew. After a silent first game back he was huge against a star-studded Freo midfield. Along with him this period, the Bombers are actually +20 for open spaces and also +18 from centre allowances without him they're -17 as well as +4 respectively. That draw Freo might obtain them in to the finals yet there's likewise an authentic odds an individual misses out on along with 14 wins, specifically if the Hawks trumped Carlton this weekend, as well as for the Bombers their draw and their poor percentage have the same result of making all of them lose sudden deaths. It would certainly be actually quite unmerciful if they succeeded 13 and also a fifty percent games and also missed out however all at once, this is what occurs when you shed to non-finalists Melbourne, Adelaide and Street Kilda - you sign up with them.This week: Gold Shore Suns at Wonder Arena, Sunday 7:30 pm' He's covering them from the tension'|03:0311. COLLINGWOOD (10-8-2, 100.2%) Recently: Ranked 13th, def Carlton by 2 ptsSo the concern is actually, are they back? They require to become near their absolute best to make the eight hence - Melbourne will not be actually playing for just about anything in Round 24 so you would certainly think the Magpies succeed that one, however encountering the leading 2 over the next two full weeks is actually rather tough. Possibly they've timed this encounter Sydney effectively, however our experts're not persuaded Collingwood is good enough to trump the ladder forerunners, even in this stressed state. It's worth noting the Magpies are just 16th for inside 50s over the last 6 full weeks, but 3rd for scores per inside 50, therefore performance is actually keeping all of them going. Their protection has been nowhere near acceptable over that time period so they are actually going to require to take their opportunities to stop the Swans, and if they carry out, then the various other contenders will definitely begin to worry. Nobody would like to encounter a revived Magpies in September.This week: Sydney Swans at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmMagpies seek finals find against swans|00:3012. MELBOURNE (10-10, 97.9%) Recently: Rated 10th, dropped to Western Bulldogs by 51 ptsFor the very first time this years the Demons will certainly head in to the AFL time's lifeless area, playing out the string along with nothing at all on the line. In a manner, being actually properly away from the finals race need to be actually relieving - they can bet 2025, trialling players in brand new postures and also delivering sore gamers in for very early surgical treatments. Nevertheless look at Geelong and also Fremantle, who turned really unsatisfying 2023 times right into most likely 2024 finals berths you can not suspend the capacity of staffs that have actually possessed success to only bounce back a year later on. Hell, Collingwood is the very best instance. All of this is why our company are actually certainly not panicking about Melbourne's situation not till midway by means of following year, anyway.This full week: Port Adelaide at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm13. GOLD COAST SUNSHINES (9-11, 100.4%) Recently: Positioned 11th, lost to West Shoreline by 10 ptsTheir home-away crack is actually absolutely astonishing. Home ground perk is expected to become worth a goal or more - not turn you coming from complete rubbish in to a top-four challenger! We know our company've been discussing this all year however the tale has actually coincided all year ... much like the tale of 'kinda residing in the mix with 5-6 cycles left and afterwards breaking down' has actually been the same for this entire nightclub for time after season. Acquire a brand-new gimmick!This week: Essendon at Marvel Stadium, Sunday 7:30 pmBuckley rules himself out of Eagles project|01:1814. ADELAIDE CROWS (7-12-1, 99.8%) Recently: Ranked 15th, dropped to Geelong through 5 ptsThis week: Western Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pm15. ST KILDA (8-12, 94.9%) Last week: Positioned 14th, lost to Brisbane through 85 ptsThis week: Richmond at Wonder Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, as we said last week, these crews never possess the very same result in the very same weekend break! So after Adelaide's reduction on Saturday it is actually opportunity to check out the scores for the Saints' activity and-ah. Straight. Don't bother. Wherefore it deserves the Crows probably weren't just as good as the scoreboard recommended, receiving bashed in the contest by a less-than-impressive Geelong midfield, so they were each below par. Permit's observe if either team may participate in spoiler over the last three full weeks - the Saints can spoil Carlton or even Geelong's time, while the Crows could possibly injure the Canines but additional notably will enjoy to wreck Port's.

WEST COASTLINE BALD EAGLES (4-16, 70%) Last week: Placed 18th, def Gold Shoreline by 10 ptsThis week: North Melbourne at Blundstone Stadium, Saturday 1:45 pm17. NORTH MELBOURNE (3-17, 67%) Recently: Ranked 17th, def Richmond through 16 ptsThis full week: West Shoreline Eagles at Blundstone Arena, Saturday 1:45 pm18. RICHMOND (2-18, 64.7%) Recently: Ranked 16th, shed to North Melbourne through 16 ptsThis week: St Kilda at Wonder Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, the two-week Spoonbowl is actually probably over, with Richmond in fact deserving the sway North - they succeeded the activity on anticipated credit rating, off the back of 60 inside 50s to 44 - however kicking on their own in to the No. 1 choice. (Which is probably advantageous long-lasting.) Though to be decent, it's achievable the Kangaroos have really grasped goalkicking, given they are actually No. 1 in the AFL for accuracy this year. West Coastline on the other hand was actually properly impressive versus a staff playing for it period, with a season-high pressure score as well as their third-best opposed properties win for the year. Since Jarrad Schofield took control of the Eagles have gone coming from 17th in the AFL for stress to eighth, which is a fair indication they're playing for him. Now all eyes turn to North's effort to complete outside all-time low 2 for the first time this many years - while it would still go down to percentage, they 'd reside in a good placement with a succeed in Hobart.
