BRISBANE LIONS (13-6-1, 125.1%) Recently: Rated 1st, def St Kilda through 85 ptsThis full week: GWS Giants at the Gabba, Saturday 1:45 pm2. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (12-8, 122.4%) Recently: Ranked 2nd, def Melbourne through 51 ptsThis full week: Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pmWith the Swans falling off a high cliff, if we needed to forecast a Grand Final at this moment, this would certainly be it. It might not also be actually possible - if the Bulldogs can not crack the best four, they may be on an inevitable conflict in a prelim. However in a set of games that our company assumed were potential banana peelings, both they as well as Brisbane were actually prevalent. The Dogs' support is stunning at the moment despite all their employees problems, No. 2 for points enabled as well as No. 1 for points enabled coming from turnovers over the final six weeks, while the Lions have actually raised because division over that time period at the same time (as well as they horribly needed to). Given just how effectively Brisbane are going you really must question, will they be the absolutely dominant flag favourite at this moment if they hadn't copped numerous ACL traumas? To become in this particular posture provided those strikes is quite exceptional, as well as the Bulldogs are actually as close to a significant banner challenger as they've been actually for a long times. What our team've found out over the final couple of seasons is actually that the AFL's efforts to carry competitive equilibrium indicate staffs can really start mid-season and rise right into the premiership ethnicity - our experts need to quit eliminating skilled checklists when they start slowly.Kingy lets loose on 'startling' Swans|03:523. SYDNEY SWANS (14-6, 126.1%) Last week: Placed third, lost to Slot Adelaide by 112 ptsNo issue where you appear, Sunday night was embarrassingly inadequate. There are actually just a couple of comparables to THIS sort of reduction for an eventual premier, however none of them were this negative. In fact no V/AFL premier has dropped a video game by more than one hundred aspects that time, and also the most significant loss through an eventual premier in the AFL era was actually Slot Adelaide getting pushed through 92 factors versus the Kangaroos in Round 8, 2004. The bigger concern is actually that this isn't almost the final 2 full weeks over the last 6 they are actually 17th for opposed belongings, 18th for groundball obtains, 18th for clearances, 17th for points coming from turnover differential and 15th for pressure score. A blowout loss will certainly blow those stats out too however they have nothing at all like a premier's profile page given that the beginning of July. Thus why do we still have all of them third? Well you don't sit a thousand games crystal clear in addition to the ladder for no reason possibly the remainder of the AFL has actually found them out yet our company still have some assurance the Swans may discover something near to their ideal. As well as they should still finish leading two, which specifies all of them up as well as possible.This full week: Collingwood at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmLongmire hits back at "self-seeking" remarks|01:004. PORT ADELAIDE (13-7, 113.6%) Recently: Placed 9th, def Sydney through 112 ptsUnfortunately for the Energy, when you gain an activity through THAT a lot, the tale is actually consistently about the shedding group and how the hell they were that negative. Therefore allow's provide Port some was entitled to praise, since they are genuinely resembling a top-four staff today, and may be serious! Over the final 6 full weeks they're No. 2 in the AFL for aspects scored, No. 1 for factors versus, No. 3 for disputed belongings and No. 3 for open spaces - yes the size of the Sydney win throws those statistics out a little bit, however they've precisely located some real kind. And also if they've shut the space between where they were actually, during that 5th to 8th bracket, to the bottom end of the leading 4 they're really in the prelim ultimate nationality. Which would be a good outcome provided the overall vibe of stress this time possesses typically held.This full week: Melbourne at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm5. FREMANTLE (12-7-1, 116.7%) Last week: Rated 4th, lost to Essendon by 1 ptIt need to be actually acquiring discouraging for Dockers followers - their team has actually dropped 4 activities they led at three-quarter-time this year, two more than any individual else. As well as it would certainly've been actually a helpful get the Bombers as well, offered the Swans' loss previously on the weekend break. Regardless of them must deal with three teams resting above all of them on the ladder over the ultimate 3 full weeks our experts're not too interested they definitely must gain their pair of remaining home video games, which will be enough to participate in finals, and also on 13 as well as a half gains their outstanding portion will really do some great holding off Essendon. This isn't the Freo of recent - they're No. 1 for points scored over the final 6 full weeks, and it is actually the very first time considering that 2013 they've been actually No. 1 in the comp over any six-week period.This week: Geelong at Optus Arena, Sunday 4:35 pmEmmett handed ban for dangerous address|00:226. GWS GIANTS (13-7, 111.2%) Last week: Ranked 8th, def Hawthorn by 2 ptsThey looked no place near it with three one-fourths versus the Hawks, but after that helped remind every person of the value of superstars. Toby Greene is actually rather good, it appears. Possible Coleman victor Jesse Hogan has actually been great for 18 months. And even Brent Daniels, some of their more underrated superstars in the course of their latest excellence, was actually a substantial factor in the comeback along with an enormous 12 last-quarter fingertips. Offered the Lions' protective absentees is there some odds Hogan as well as the crew find the Brisbane back six as well as take a severe trouble on Saturday? They're gon na need to have to win one more game to participate in finals footy (and also it could also be limited on 14 success) so they may at the same time receive it carried out ASAP.This week: Brisbane Lions at the Gabba, Sunday 1:45 pmKingsley ignites healthy GWS scenes|02:167. CARLTON (12-8, 112.1%) Last week: Rated 5th, lost to Collingwood through 3 ptsWe're heading to keep relying on cry up until they require our palm, since there is actually still so much going their method. Yes they have actually shed 4 of their final 5 video games, however 3 of those were only through a number of targets, and final Saturday evening was actually essentially decided through a zing. Maybe much more importantly they are actually still the No. 1 team in the AFL for factors coming from turn over differential - one of the most important racking up source. A massive 19 of the final twenty staffs to place No. 1 because stat have actually made an initial ultimate or even much better. They're one-sided, considering that they are actually 16th for factors from allowances over the final six full weeks, however you 'd rather be turnover-focused (as they are this year) than stoppage-focused (as they were in 2015). It will join a disaster if this group skipped the 8, provided the requirements as well as where they were only a month ago, yet if they lose to the Hawks the probability is actually live.This full week: Hawthorn at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm8. GEELONG (13-7, 108.9%) Last week: Rated 6th, def Adelaide through 5 ptsFunny exactly how the Pussy-cats are actually each pretty well-placed in a limited finals ethnicity and giving us less assurance in their premium all at once. The margin probably shouldn't have actually been fairly that tight versus Adelaide, but it was, and our team probably require to cease speaking about Kardinia Playground as a citadel - offered they're 5-3 in the home, 2 of those triumphes coming by single finger frames. But again, they are actually well-placed on thirteen triumphes and also along with West Coast in the house to come in the final round. Pinch a win over the Dockers or St Kilda prior to that, as well as they're well and also truly safe in the 8. There are still some main reasons for confidence, like Patrick Dangerfield discovering type and the midfield conducting extremely well overall versus the Crows, plus the protection has stood up well over the final six weeks (No. 5 for points acknowledged). However although the top four is accessible, they do not feel like a leading 4 team.This week: Fremantle at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 4:35 pmRobbo uncovers Tomahawks' highest qualities|03:489. HAWTHORN (11-9, 104.1%) Last week: Positioned 7th, shed to GWS through 2 ptsSunday's video game is the best crucial for any kind of one staff we have actually found thus far in 2024. That's considering that Hawthorn's end result against Carlton will efficiently decide their time. They've received an agape path to 14 success with a success, and no staff has even missed the top 8 with thirteen victories before. But drop and they're possibly visiting be actually two video games away from the eight along with 2 to play, a practically unattainable setting. They are still carrying out a lot right however the issue we understood about entering into the period, their protection, is striking at a bad time - over the final six full weeks they are actually No. 1 for within fifties against, but 17th for credit ratings every inside 50 against. So groups may not be ascertaining there a lot, but when they carry out, they are actually racking up at last will and testament. There is actually a little misery during that yet it is actually not all fortune. As our experts have actually created previously, even though the Hawks miss out on the finals this time has actually been actually fabulous, however jeez it 'd be annoying when they are actually so near to some of the best stories in years.This full week: Carlton at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm10. ESSENDON (11-8-1, 95.9%) Last week: Placed 12th, def Fremantle through 1 ptTurns out our experts overlooked just how vital Darcy Church is actually to this team. After a quiet very first video game back he was immense versus a star-studded Freo midfield. Along with him this season, the Bombing planes are +20 for spaces and +18 from centre spaces without him they're -17 and +4 respectively. That win over Freo could possibly acquire them right into the finals but there is actually also a legitimate odds someone misses out on along with 14 wins, particularly if the Hawks trumped Carlton this weekend, as well as for the Bombers their draw and also their poor percentage possess the very same result of creating all of them lose sudden deaths. It would be actually rather ruthless if they won 13 and also a half games as well as missed out but together, this is what takes place when you shed to non-finalists Melbourne, Adelaide and also St Kilda - you join them.This week: Gold Coast Suns at Wonder Coliseum, Sunday 7:30 pm' He's shielding all of them coming from the tension'|03:0311. COLLINGWOOD (10-8-2, 100.2%) Recently: Placed 13th, def Carlton through 2 ptsSo the question is actually, are they back? They need to be near their greatest to make the 8 away - Melbourne will not be playing for everything in Cycle 24 so you will assume the Magpies gain that one, but encountering the leading two over the following 2 full weeks is fairly challenging. Probably they've timed this encounter Sydney properly, however our experts're certainly not convinced Collingwood suffices to beat the ladder leaders, even within this weakened state. It's worth noting the Magpies are actually simply 16th for inside 50s over the last 6 weeks, however 3rd for ratings per inside 50, thus efficiency is actually keeping them going. Their support has actually been nowhere near adequate over that time frame so they are actually heading to need to take their possibilities to cease the Swans, and if they do, then the other contenders are going to begin to panic. Nobody wishes to deal with a revived Magpies in September.This week: Sydney Swans at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmMagpies seek finals identify versus swans|00:3012. MELBOURNE (10-10, 97.9%) Recently: Placed 10th, lost to Western Bulldogs by 51 ptsFor the very first time this many years the Demons are going to head right into the AFL season's lifeless zone, playing out the string with nothing at all on the line. In a manner, being actually effectively out of the finals nationality need to be actually releasing - they may play for 2025, trialling gamers in brand new placements and also delivering painful gamers in for very early surgeries. It goes without saying consider Geelong as well as Fremantle, who turned quite unsatisfactory 2023 periods in to likely 2024 finals berths you can't pass over the potential of groups who've had success to just rebound a year later. Heck, Collingwood is actually the most ideal example. All of this is why our experts're certainly not stressing about Melbourne's situation certainly not till midway with following year, anyway.This week: Slot Adelaide at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm13. GOLD SHORELINES SUNSHINES (9-11, 100.4%) Last week: Positioned 11th, lost to West Coastline through 10 ptsTheir home-away split is actually genuinely incredible. Home ground benefit is meant to become worth an objective or more - certainly not transform you coming from outright rubbish in to a top-four competitor! We understand our experts have actually been actually blogging about this all year however the account has actually coincided all year ... similar to the tale of 'kinda residing in the mix with 5-6 rounds left behind and after that collapsing' has been the same for this whole club for time after period. Receive a new gimmick!This full week: Essendon at Marvel Coliseum, Sunday 7:30 pmBuckley guidelines themself away from Eagles project|01:1814. ADELAIDE CROWS (7-12-1, 99.8%) Last week: Ranked 15th, lost to Geelong by 5 ptsThis week: Western Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pm15. ST KILDA (8-12, 94.9%) Recently: Rated 14th, dropped to Brisbane by 85 ptsThis full week: Richmond at Marvel Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, as our experts said recently, these groups certainly never possess the same lead to the same weekend break! Thus after Adelaide's reduction on Sunday it's opportunity to check ball games for the Saints' video game and-ah. Right. Don't bother. Of what it deserves the Crows perhaps weren't like the scoreboard recommended, receiving belted in the contest through a less-than-impressive Geelong midfield, so they were each below par. Permit's view if either group can easily play looter over the last 3 weeks - the Saints could possibly mess up Carlton or Geelong's season, while the Crows could possibly hurt the Canines yet more essentially will like to ruin Slot's.

WEST SHORELINE BALD EAGLES (4-16, 70%) Recently: Rated 18th, def Gold Shore by 10 ptsThis full week: North Melbourne at Blundstone Field, Sunday 1:45 pm17. NORTH MELBOURNE (3-17, 67%) Recently: Positioned 17th, def Richmond through 16 ptsThis full week: West Shore Eagles at Blundstone Field, Saturday 1:45 pm18. RICHMOND (2-18, 64.7%) Last week: Ranked 16th, dropped to North Melbourne by 16 ptsThis full week: St Kilda at Marvel Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, the two-week Spoonbowl is probably over, with Richmond in fact deserving the gain North - they gained the video game on expected score, off the back of 60 inside 50s to 44 - yet booting themselves right into the No. 1 pick. (Which is actually most likely advantageous lasting.) Though to be fair, it is actually feasible the Kangaroos have in fact learnt goalkicking, offered they are actually No. 1 in the AFL for accuracy this year. West Shore at the same time was actually correctly exceptional versus a crew playing for it time, with a season-high stress ranking and also their third-best objected to belongings succeed for the year. Because Jarrad Schofield managed the Eagles have gone from 17th in the AFL for tension to 8th, which is actually a fair sign they are actually betting him. Currently all eyes rely on North's attempt to end up outside the bottom 2 for the first time this years - while it would certainly still decrease to portion, they would certainly remain in a great setting along with a succeed in Hobart.
