BRISBANE LIONS (13-6-1, 125.1%) Last week: Positioned 1st, def St Kilda through 85 ptsThis week: GWS Giants at the Gabba, Sunday 1:45 pm2. WESTERN BULLDOGS (12-8, 122.4%) Last week: Placed 2nd, def Melbourne through 51 ptsThis week: Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pmWith the Swans decreasing a cliff, if we must predict a Grand Final right now, this would certainly be it. It might not also be possible - if the Bulldogs can't split the leading four, they may be on an inescapable clash in a prelim. However in a pair of activities that our company presumed were prospective banana peels, both they and Brisbane were leading. The Canines' support is actually stunning right now in spite of all their workers problems, No. 2 for aspects made it possible for and also No. 1 for aspects allowed from turnovers over the final six weeks, while the Lions have actually raised in that division over that period at the same time (as well as they poorly needed to). Offered exactly how effectively Brisbane are actually going you actually have to wonder, would they be actually the absolutely dominant banner favourite at the moment if they hadn't copped so many ACL accidents? To be within this placement provided those blows is quite remarkable, and the Bulldogs are as near to a significant banner competitor as they've been actually for many years. What our team have actually discovered over the final couple of seasons is that the AFL's attempts to carry affordable balance imply groups may definitely start mid-season and surge in to the premiership nationality - our experts have to cease eliminating proficient checklists when they begin slowly.Kingy unleashes on 'scary' Swans|03:523. SYDNEY SWANS (14-6, 126.1%) Last week: Rated third, dropped to Port Adelaide through 112 ptsNo matter where you look, Sunday evening was actually embarrassingly poor. There are just a couple of comparables to THIS kind of reduction for an eventual premier, but none of them were this poor. Actually no V/AFL premier has lost a game through much more than one hundred factors that time, and also the greatest loss through a possible premier in the AFL time was actually Slot Adelaide obtaining pushed through 92 factors against the Kangaroos in Sphere 8, 2004. The larger complication is that this isn't pretty much the last two full weeks over the last six they are actually 17th for opposed possessions, 18th for groundball acquires, 18th for clearances, 17th for factors coming from turnover differential and also 15th for pressure score. A blowout reduction will definitely blow those statistics out at the same time however they have absolutely nothing like a premier's profile considering that the start of July. So why perform we still possess them third? Well you don't rest a million activities crystal clear on top of the ladder for no reason maybe the rest of the AFL has actually found them out however we still have some confidence the Swans can easily discover something near their finest. And they must still complete top 2, which prepares them up along with possible.This full week: Collingwood at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmLongmire counters at "egocentric" comments|01:004. PORT ADELAIDE (13-7, 113.6%) Recently: Placed 9th, def Sydney by 112 ptsUnfortunately for the Energy, when you win a game by THAT a lot, the account is always concerning the dropping team as well as how the hell they were that negative. So allow's give Port some deserved praise, because they are absolutely appearing like a top-four group at this moment, as well as could be severe! Over the last 6 full weeks they are actually No. 2 in the AFL for aspects racked up, No. 1 for factors versus, No. 3 for contested possessions and No. 3 for clearances - yes the measurement of the Sydney win throws those stats out a bit, however they've precisely located some genuine kind. And also if they have actually shut the space between where they were actually, in that 5th to 8th bracket, to the bottom end of the leading 4 they are actually truly in the prelim last nationality. Which will be actually a good outcome offered the overall feel of irritation this period possesses or else held.This week: Melbourne at the MCG, Sunday 7:30 pm5. FREMANTLE (12-7-1, 116.7%) Last week: Positioned fourth, dropped to Essendon through 1 ptIt need to be actually acquiring annoying for Dockers fans - their team has shed 4 activities they led at three-quarter-time this year, 2 more than anybody else. And it would certainly've been a useful win over the Bombing planes too, offered the Swans' reduction previously on the weekend. In spite of them needing to deal with 3 teams sitting over all of them on the step ladder over the last three full weeks our team're certainly not too concerned they truly need to succeed their two remaining home video games, which would suffice to play finals, as well as also on thirteen as well as a fifty percent gains their outstanding percent would really carry out some really good holding off Essendon. This isn't the Freo of the past - they are actually No. 1 for points scored over the last 6 full weeks, and it is actually the very first time considering that 2013 they have actually been No. 1 in the comp over any kind of six-week period.This week: Geelong at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 4:35 pmEmmett handed restriction for unsafe take on|00:226. GWS GIANTS (13-7, 111.2%) Last week: Placed 8th, def Hawthorn by 2 ptsThey appeared nowhere near it via three quarters against the Hawks, however then helped remind every person of the market value of celebrities. Toby Greene is pretty excellent, it ends up. Potential Coleman winner Jesse Hogan has been actually excellent for 18 months. And also also Brent Daniels, some of their even more underrated superstars in the course of their recent excellence, was actually a large think about the comeback with an enormous 12 last-quarter disposals. Provided the Lions' protective absentees is there some odds Hogan and also the workers get a hold of the Brisbane back 6 and pull a severe distress on Sunday? They are actually gon na need to win one more activity to participate in finals footy (and also it may also be strict on 14 wins) so they might at the same time obtain it performed ASAP.This full week: Brisbane Lions at the Gabba, Sunday 1:45 pmKingsley sparks healthy and balanced GWS scenes|02:167. CARLTON (12-8, 112.1%) Recently: Placed 5th, dropped to Collingwood through 3 ptsWe're mosting likely to maintain relying on the Blues up until they compel our hand, considering that there is actually still a great deal going their method. Yes they've dropped four of their final five video games, yet three of those were actually only through a number of goals, and last Sunday evening was practically chosen by a zing. Possibly extra significantly they are actually still the No. 1 team in the AFL for aspects coming from turn over differential - the best significant scoring resource. A whopping 19 of the final twenty staffs to rate No. 1 in that stat have made a preliminary ultimate or much better. They're one-sided, given that they're 16th for points from open spaces over the last 6 weeks, yet you 'd rather be actually turnover-focused (as they are this year) than stoppage-focused (as they were actually in 2013). It would be close to a calamity if this crew skipped the eight, offered the requirements and where they were actually only a month ago, however if they drop to the Hawks the probability is actually live.This 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 Cats are both rather well-placed in a limited finals ethnicity as well as providing our team much less assurance in their premium all at once. The frame probably should not have been actually quite that tight against Adelaide, however it was, and also we probably need to quit talking about Kardinia Playground as a fortress - given they are actually 5-3 in your home, 2 of those wins getting singular finger margins. Yet once again, they are actually well-placed on 13 wins and along with West Shore at home ahead in the final sphere. Squeeze a sway the Dockers or even St Kilda just before that, and they're well and definitely safe in the eight. There are still some factors for peace of mind, like Patrick Dangerfield discovering kind and also the midfield executing effectively total versus the Crows, plus the protection has actually stood more than the last six weeks (No. 5 for points acknowledged). However although the top four is within reach, they don't think that a top four team.This week: Fremantle at Optus Arena, Sunday 4:35 pmRobbo reveals Tomahawks' highest qualities|03:489. HAWTHORN (11-9, 104.1%) Recently: Placed 7th, shed to GWS through 2 ptsSunday's game is the absolute most vital for any type of one crew we have actually observed until now in 2024. That's considering that Hawthorn's end result versus Carlton are going to efficiently choose their period. They've got an agape road to 14 success with a triumph, as well as no staff has actually even skipped the best 8 along with thirteen success prior to. However shed as well as they are actually perhaps heading to be pair of video games out of the eight along with pair of to participate in, a virtually unattainable position. They are still carrying out a great deal right however the concern we knew concerning entering into the season, their support, stands out at a hard time - over the last 6 full weeks they are actually No. 1 for inside fifties versus, yet 17th for credit ratings every inside fifty against. Therefore staffs aren't ascertaining there certainly a lot, however when they carry out, they're scoring at can. There is actually a little misery because yet it's certainly not all good luck. As we've composed in the past, even though the Hawks miss out on the finals this period has been actually astonishing, yet jeez it will be actually discouraging when they are actually therefore close to some of the most ideal accounts 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 company overlooked exactly how vital Darcy Parish is actually to this staff. After a quiet 1st game back he was huge versus a star-studded Freo midfield. With him this time, the Bombers are +20 for open spaces as well as +18 coming from center clearances without him they're -17 and also +4 specifically. That draw Freo could possibly receive them right into the finals yet there is actually also a legitimate odds someone skips along with 14 triumphes, particularly if the Hawks trumped Carlton this weekend, and also for the Bombing planes their draw and their unsatisfactory percent possess the very same effect of creating them lose tiebreakers. It would certainly be actually quite brutal if they gained 13 and also a fifty percent video games and also missed out but simultaneously, this is what occurs when you lose to non-finalists Melbourne, Adelaide and St Kilda - you join them.This full week: Gold Shoreline Suns at Wonder Coliseum, Sunday 7:30 pm' He's securing all of them coming from the pressure'|03:0311. COLLINGWOOD (10-8-2, 100.2%) Recently: Positioned 13th, def Carlton through 2 ptsSo the concern is actually, are they back? They require to be near their best to create the eight hence - Melbourne won't be betting everything in Cycle 24 so you 'd presume the Magpies gain that people, but facing the leading two over the following two weeks is quite challenging. Possibly they have actually timed this clash with Sydney well, but our team are actually not convinced Collingwood is good enough to beat the step ladder innovators, also in this stressed state. It costs noting the Magpies are only 16th for inside 50s over the last six full weeks, yet third for scores every inside fifty, so efficiency is maintaining them going. Their protection has actually been actually no place near adequate over that time frame so they're visiting require to take their odds to quit the Swans, and also if they perform, after that the various other contenders are going to start to worry. No person would like to encounter a restored Magpies in September.This week: Sydney Swans at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmMagpies seek finals identify against swans|00:3012. MELBOURNE (10-10, 97.9%) Last week: Placed 10th, dropped to Western Bulldogs through 51 ptsFor the first time this decade the Demons are going to move in to the AFL period's lifeless zone, playing out the chain with nothing at all vulnerable. In a way, being actually properly out of the finals ethnicity ought to be clearing - they may play for 2025, trialling players in brand new settings as well as sending out painful players in for early surgeries. Besides consider Geelong and also Fremantle, that turned quite unsatisfactory 2023 periods in to very likely 2024 finals berths you can not count out the capability of staffs who have actually had excellence to merely recover a year eventually. Hell, Collingwood is actually the best example. All of this is actually why we are actually not panicking regarding Melbourne's situation certainly not until midway through next year, anyway.This full week: Port Adelaide at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm13. GOLD COASTLINES SUNLIGHT (9-11, 100.4%) Last week: Positioned 11th, lost to West Coast through 10 ptsTheir home-away split is really staggering. Home ground advantage is expected to become worth an objective or 2 - not switch you coming from downright rubbish right into a top-four competitor! We know our team have actually been actually discussing this all year but the account has actually been the same all year ... similar to the story of 'kinda remaining in the blend with 5-6 rounds left behind and afterwards falling apart' has been the same for this entire nightclub for time after time. Receive a brand-new gimmick!This week: Essendon at Marvel Stadium, Sunday 7:30 pmBuckley policies himself out of Eagles project|01:1814. ADELAIDE CROWS (7-12-1, 99.8%) Last week: Placed 15th, lost to Geelong through 5 ptsThis week: Western Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pm15. ST KILDA (8-12, 94.9%) Recently: Rated 14th, lost to Brisbane through 85 ptsThis full week: Richmond at Wonder Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, as our team pointed out recently, these staffs never possess the same result in the exact same weekend! Therefore after Adelaide's loss on Sunday it is actually opportunity to inspect the scores for the Saints' activity and-ah. Right. Never mind. Of what it deserves the Crows possibly weren't comparable to the scoreboard recommended, acquiring bashed in the contest by a less-than-impressive Geelong midfield, so they were both wanting. Allow's view if either staff can easily play spoiler over the final 3 full weeks - the Saints could possibly ruin Carlton or even Geelong's period, while the Crows might injure the Dogs but more notably will love to ruin Port's.

WEST COAST EAGLES (4-16, 70%) Recently: Positioned 18th, def Gold Shore through 10 ptsThis full week: North Melbourne at Blundstone Arena, Sunday 1:45 pm17. NORTH MELBOURNE (3-17, 67%) Recently: Positioned 17th, def Richmond by 16 ptsThis full week: West Shoreline Eagles at Blundstone Field, Saturday 1:45 pm18. RICHMOND (2-18, 64.7%) Last week: Placed 16th, lost to North Melbourne through 16 ptsThis full week: Street Kilda at Wonder Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, the two-week Spoonbowl is actually perhaps over, with Richmond actually deserving the draw North - they won the activity on assumed credit rating, off the rear of 60 inside 50s to 44 - yet booting on their own right into the No. 1 pick. (Which is actually possibly for the best long-lasting.) Though to become fair, it is actually possible the Kangaroos have really mastered goalkicking, provided they're No. 1 in the AFL for precision this year. West Coast on the other hand was actually properly impressive against a crew playing for it season, with a season-high stress rating and also their third-best disputed properties gain for the year. Due to the fact that Jarrad Schofield took control of the Eagles have gone coming from 17th in the AFL for pressure to eighth, which is actually a good indicator they are actually betting him. Right now all eyes look to North's try to end up outside all-time low 2 for the first time this years - while it would certainly still drop to portion, they 'd be in a great setting with a succeed in Hobart.
