BRISBANE LIONS (13-6-1, 125.1%) Last week: Positioned 1st, def St Kilda by 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 full week: Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pmWith the Swans decreasing a high cliff, if our company must anticipate a Grand Final at the moment, this would be it. It may not even be feasible - if the Bulldogs can not break the leading four, they could be on an inescapable collision course in a prelim. Yet in a set of activities that our team assumed were potential banana peels, both they as well as Brisbane were leading. The Dogs' defence is impressive right now regardless of all their staffs problems, No. 2 for factors permitted as well as No. 1 for factors made it possible for from turnovers over the final six full weeks, while the Lions have actually raised during that team over that period also (as well as they horribly needed to have to). Offered how properly Brisbane are actually going you really need to wonder, would certainly they be the completely dominant banner favourite now if they hadn't copped so many ACL traumas? To be in this setting provided those blows is actually incredibly excellent, as well as the Bulldogs are actually as near a major banner competitor as they have actually been for a long times. What our team've discovered over the last handful of times is actually that the AFL's efforts to take affordable harmony imply teams may actually get going mid-season as well as surge in to the premiership race - we need to stop dismissing talented checklists when they start slowly.Kingy discharges on 'startling' Swans|03:523. SYDNEY SWANS (14-6, 126.1%) Recently: Placed 3rd, shed to Slot Adelaide through 112 ptsNo matter where you look, Sunday evening was embarrassingly poor. There are a few comparables to THIS type of reduction for a possible premier, yet none of them were this bad. In reality no V/AFL premier has dropped a video game through greater than 100 aspects that period, and also the largest loss through an eventual premier in the AFL period was actually Slot Adelaide acquiring pumped through 92 points versus the Kangaroos in Round 8, 2004. The much bigger trouble is actually that this isn't pretty much the last two full weeks over the last 6 they are actually 17th for opposed ownerships, 18th for groundball acquires, 18th for clearances, 17th for points coming from turnover differential and 15th for pressure ranking. A blowout reduction is going to blow those statistics out as well yet they possess nothing like a premier's profile page due to the fact that the begin of July. So why perform our company still possess all of them 3rd? Well you do not sit a thousand video games very clear in addition to the ladder for no factor possibly the rest of the AFL has actually found them out yet our experts still possess some peace of mind the Swans can easily find one thing near to their finest. And also they should still end up best two, which prepares them up in addition to possible.This week: Collingwood at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmLongmire counters at "self-centered" reviews|01:004. PORT ADELAIDE (13-7, 113.6%) Recently: Positioned 9th, def Sydney by 112 ptsUnfortunately for the Power, when you win a video game by THAT considerably, the story is actually consistently about the dropping staff as well as just how the heck they were that poor. So let's give Slot some was entitled to appreciation, because they are absolutely looking like a top-four group at this moment, and also might be serious! Over the final six weeks they're No. 2 in the AFL for aspects scored, No. 1 for points against, No. 3 for contested things and also No. 3 for clearances - yes the enormity of the Sydney gain throws those stats out a little bit, but they have actually accurately located some real kind. And if they've shut the gap in between where they were, because 5th to 8th brace, down end of the best 4 they are actually absolutely in the prelim last ethnicity. Which would be a fair outcome offered the basic feel of frustration this time has otherwise held.This full week: Melbourne at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm5. FREMANTLE (12-7-1, 116.7%) Last week: Positioned 4th, dropped to Essendon by 1 ptIt must be actually acquiring irritating for Dockers supporters - their crew has actually shed 4 games they led at three-quarter-time this year, pair of more than any individual else. And it would certainly possess been actually a handy draw the Bombers too, given the Swans' reduction earlier on the weekend break. Regardless of them needing to deal with three groups sitting over them on the ladder over the last three weeks our team're certainly not too concerned they really need to gain their two continuing to be home activities, which would be enough to participate in finals, and even on 13 as well as an one-half gains their superb percent would actually carry out some excellent holding off Essendon. This isn't the Freo of the past - they're No. 1 for factors scored over the final 6 full weeks, as well as it is actually the very first time since 2013 they have actually been actually No. 1 in the comp over any six-week period.This week: Geelong at Optus Stadium, Saturday 4:35 pmEmmett handed ban for unsafe take on|00:226. GWS GIANTS (13-7, 111.2%) Recently: Positioned 8th, def Hawthorn through 2 ptsThey appeared no place near it via 3 one-fourths against the Hawks, but after that reminded everyone of the worth of superstars. Toby Greene is actually very really good, it ends up. Potential Coleman winner Jesse Hogan has actually been fantastic for 18 months. And even Brent Daniels, among their more underrated celebrities during their current excellence, was actually a large consider the comeback with a massive 12 last-quarter disposals. Offered the Lions' protective absentees exists some possibility Hogan and also the staff obtain the Brisbane back six as well as draw a severe upset on Saturday? They're gon na require to gain one more video game to play finals footy (as well as it might also be actually tight on 14 victories) so they may as well acquire it carried out ASAP.This week: Brisbane Lions at the Gabba, Sunday 1:45 pmKingsley stirs up wholesome GWS scenes|02:167. CARLTON (12-8, 112.1%) Recently: Placed 5th, dropped to Collingwood through 3 ptsWe are actually mosting likely to keep relying on cry till they require our hand, considering that there's still a great deal going their way. Yes they have actually dropped 4 of their final 5 video games, yet three of those were actually just by a couple of goals, and last Sunday evening was practically determined by a kick. Maybe extra essentially they are still the No. 1 crew in the AFL for aspects coming from turn over differential - the most significant racking up resource. A massive 19 of the final twenty groups to place No. 1 in that stat have made an initial ultimate or even much better. They're prejudiced, because they're 16th for points coming from open spaces over the final 6 weeks, yet you prefer to be turnover-focused (as they are this year) than stoppage-focused (as they were actually in 2015). It would certainly be close to a catastrophe if this team missed the eight, given the requirements as well as where they were just a month earlier, however if they lose to the Hawks the probability is live.This week: Hawthorn at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm8. GEELONG (13-7, 108.9%) Recently: Ranked sixth, def Adelaide by 5 ptsFunny just how the Cats are actually each quite well-placed in a strict finals nationality and also providing us much less self-confidence in their top quality together. The frame possibly should not have been actually pretty that limited against Adelaide, yet it was actually, and also our team probably require to stop discussing Kardinia Playground as a fortress - offered they are actually 5-3 in the house, 2 of those success coming by solitary digit margins. But once more, they're well-placed on 13 wins as well as with West Shore in the house ahead in the final around. Squeeze a gain the Dockers or St Kilda just before that, as well as they are actually effectively and also really secure in the eight. There are still some factors for peace of mind, like Patrick Dangerfield discovering type as well as the midfield performing quite possibly overall versus the Crows, plus the protection has actually stood up well over the final 6 weeks (No. 5 for aspects yielded). However even though the best 4 is actually within reach, they do not believe that a top four team.This full week: Fremantle at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 4:35 pmRobbo shows Tomahawks' highests|03:489. HAWTHORN (11-9, 104.1%) Recently: Rated 7th, shed to GWS through 2 ptsSunday's activity is actually the most important for any type of one staff our team've observed up until now in 2024. That is actually because Hawthorn's end result versus Carlton are going to effectively choose their season. They've acquired a wide-open road to 14 success along with a victory, as well as no staff has also missed the top 8 along with thirteen success before. But drop and they are actually most likely heading to be actually pair of video games out of the 8 along with 2 to participate in, a just about unrecoverable position. They are actually still doing a whole lot right yet the issue we understood concerning entering into the time, their protection, is striking at a bad time - over the final 6 full weeks they're No. 1 for inside fifties against, yet 17th for scores every inside 50 versus. Therefore crews may not be ascertaining certainly there much, but when they do, they are actually scoring at last will and testament. There's a little bit of misfortune because but it's certainly not all luck. As our experts've composed before, regardless of whether the Hawks miss out on the finals this period has been amazing, yet jeez it will be discouraging when they are actually thus close to among the greatest stories in years.This week: Carlton at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm10. ESSENDON (11-8-1, 95.9%) Recently: Rated 12th, def Fremantle by 1 ptTurns out our team neglected exactly how essential Darcy Church is to this team. After a peaceful very first video game back he was enormous versus a star-studded Freo midfield. With him this time, the Bombing planes are actually +20 for open spaces and +18 coming from center clearances without him they're -17 and +4 specifically. That get Freo could get all of them into the finals however there is actually also a genuine opportunity an individual overlooks along with 14 wins, especially if the Hawks trumped Carlton this weekend, and for the Bombing planes their draw as well as their bad amount have the exact same result of producing them drop sudden deaths. It would certainly be actually pretty severe if they gained 13 and also a fifty percent video games and also lost out but concurrently, this is what occurs when you shed to non-finalists Melbourne, Adelaide as well as Street Kilda - you participate in them.This week: Gold Shoreline Suns at Wonder Stadium, Sunday 7:30 pm' He's securing all of them coming from the pressure'|03:0311. COLLINGWOOD (10-8-2, 100.2%) Last week: Rated 13th, def Carlton by 2 ptsSo the inquiry is actually, are they back? They need to be near their greatest to create the 8 from here - Melbourne will not be betting everything in Round 24 so you would certainly think the Magpies gain that one, yet encountering the best pair of over the upcoming pair of weeks is fairly difficult. Perhaps they've timed this clash with Sydney well, yet our team're certainly not convinced Collingwood is good enough to trump the ladder forerunners, also in this damaged state. It's worth keeping in mind the Magpies are only 16th for inside 50s over the last six weeks, but third for credit ratings per inside fifty, therefore productivity is actually maintaining all of them going. Their defence has actually been actually no place near acceptable over that time frame so they are actually mosting likely to require to take their odds to cease the Swans, and if they perform, after that the other contenders will start to fret. Nobody wishes to encounter a revitalized Magpies in September.This full week: Sydney Swans at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmMagpies find finals find against swans|00:3012. MELBOURNE (10-10, 97.9%) Recently: Positioned 10th, shed to Western Bulldogs by 51 ptsFor the very first time this years the Demons will definitely move into the AFL season's lifeless zone, participating in out the string with absolutely nothing on the line. In a way, being actually successfully away from the finals nationality ought to be freeing - they can play for 2025, trialling players in new positions and also sending out sore gamers in for very early surgical treatments. It goes without saying check out Geelong and also Fremantle, who switched quite unsatisfying 2023 periods into very likely 2024 finals berths you can not suspend the potential of crews who've possessed effectiveness to simply rebound a year later. Hell, Collingwood is actually the very best example. All of this is actually why our experts're certainly not overreacting regarding Melbourne's circumstance not until midway with next year, anyway.This week: Slot Adelaide at the MCG, Sunday 7:30 pm13. GOLD SHORES SUNLIGHT (9-11, 100.4%) Recently: Positioned 11th, shed to West Coast by 10 ptsTheir home-away split is actually genuinely incredible. Home ground benefit is expected to become worth a target or more - not switch you from downright rubbish in to a top-four contender! We know our company have actually been actually writing about this all year however the story has been the same all year ... similar to the story of 'kinda being in the combine with 5-6 cycles left and afterwards crumbling' has actually coincided for this entire nightclub for season after season. Receive a brand new gimmick!This week: Essendon at Marvel Arena, Sunday 7:30 pmBuckley rules themself out of Eagles task|01:1814. ADELAIDE CROWS (7-12-1, 99.8%) Recently: Placed 15th, dropped to Geelong by 5 ptsThis full 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 Marvel Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, as we pointed out last week, these crews never possess the same lead to the very same weekend! Therefore after Adelaide's loss on Sunday it is actually time to check the scores for the Saints' game and-ah. Straight. Never mind. Wherefore it's worth the Crows most likely weren't just as good as the scoreboard recommended, getting belted in the competition by a less-than-impressive Geelong midfield, so they were both wanting. Allow's observe if either group can easily play looter over the final 3 weeks - the Saints could destroy Carlton or Geelong's period, while the Crows might harm the Pets yet additional notably would adore to spoil Slot's. Riewoldt reviews Dusty's famed job|04:1316. WEST COASTLINE BALD EAGLES (4-16, 70%) Last week: Ranked 18th, def Gold Coast through 10 ptsThis week: North Melbourne at Blundstone Field, Sunday 1:45 pm17. NORTH MELBOURNE (3-17, 67%) Recently: Placed 17th, def Richmond through 16 ptsThis week: West Shore Eagles at Blundstone Stadium, Sunday 1:45 pm18. RICHMOND (2-18, 64.7%) Recently: Ranked 16th, dropped to North Melbourne through 16 ptsThis full week: Street Kilda at Marvel Arena, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, the two-week Spoonbowl is actually probably over, with Richmond in fact deserving the win over North - they gained the video game on anticipated credit rating, off the back of 60 inside 50s to 44 - but booting on their own into the No. 1 selection. (Which is perhaps for the greatest long-lasting.) Though to be fair, it is actually possible the Kangaroos have in fact grasped goalkicking, provided they are actually No. 1 in the AFL for precision this year. West Shore on the other hand was actually correctly impressive against a crew having fun for it season, with a season-high pressure ranking and also their third-best disputed properties gain for the year. Because Jarrad Schofield managed the Eagles have actually gone from 17th in the AFL for pressure to eighth, which is actually a fair indicator they are actually playing for him. Right now all eyes look to North's attempt to finish outside the bottom two for the very first time this years - while it would certainly still go down to portion, they would certainly reside in a really good placement with a win in Hobart.
