BRISBANE LIONS (13-6-1, 125.1%) Recently: Rated 1st, def St Kilda by 85 ptsThis full week: GWS Giants at the Gabba, Sunday 1:45 pm2. WESTERN BULLDOGS (12-8, 122.4%) Last week: Rated second, def Melbourne by 51 ptsThis full week: Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pmWith the Swans diminishing a cliff, if our experts needed to predict a Grand Final right now, this would be it. It might not also be achievable - if the Bulldogs can't split the best 4, they can be on an inescapable clash in a prelim. Yet in a pair of activities that we believed were actually possible banana peelings, both they and Brisbane were dominant. The Dogs' support is actually magnificent at this moment in spite of all their workers problems, No. 2 for factors enabled as well as No. 1 for factors made it possible for from turnovers over the last 6 weeks, while the Lions have lifted because division over that duration as well (and they terribly needed to have to). Given just how well Brisbane are actually going you actually need to ponder, would they be actually the completely dominant flag much-loved today if they had not copped so many ACL accidents? To be within this position offered those strikes is quite exceptional, and also the Bulldogs are actually as near to a major banner competitor as they've been actually for a long times. What we've know over the final handful of periods is actually that the AFL's initiatives to deliver reasonable balance suggest groups may truly get going mid-season as well as rise right into the premiership nationality - our team have to quit ruling out skilled lists when they begin slowly.Kingy discharges on 'startling' Swans|03:523. SYDNEY SWANS (14-6, 126.1%) Recently: Placed third, dropped to Slot Adelaide through 112 ptsNo matter where you appear, Sunday evening was embarrassingly poor. There are a few comparables to THIS form of loss for a resulting premier, but none were this negative. In reality no V/AFL premier has actually lost a game through more than one hundred factors that period, and the greatest reduction through an ultimate premier in the AFL period was Port Adelaide acquiring pushed through 92 aspects against the Kangaroos in Sphere 8, 2004. The greater concern is actually that this isn't nearly the last two full weeks over the last 6 they're 17th for disputed ownerships, 18th for groundball obtains, 18th for approvals, 17th for points from turnover differential and also 15th for stress rating. A blowout loss is going to blow those stats out as well yet they possess absolutely nothing like a premier's profile page since the start of July. So why perform our experts still have them third? Well you do not sit a million games very clear in addition to the step ladder for no reason possibly the remainder of the AFL has found all of them out but our team still have some confidence the Swans can easily find something close to their best. And also they should still complete leading pair of, which sets them up along with possible.This week: Collingwood at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmLongmire hits back at "selfish" reviews|01:004. SLOT ADELAIDE (13-7, 113.6%) Recently: Placed 9th, def Sydney by 112 ptsUnfortunately for the Energy, when you gain a game through THAT much, the account is actually always concerning the shedding staff as well as exactly how the heck they were actually that negative. Thus allow's give Slot some was worthy of appreciation, since they are absolutely seeming like a top-four crew immediately, and also may be significant! Over the last 6 full weeks they are actually No. 2 in the AFL for factors scored, No. 1 for aspects versus, No. 3 for disputed belongings and No. 3 for spaces - yes the magnitude of the Sydney win throws those statistics out a bit, yet they've precisely discovered some real form. As well as if they have actually shut the space in between where they were actually, because 5th to 8th brace, to the bottom end of the top four they are actually really in the prelim last ethnicity. Which would be a good result given the basic character of stress this time possesses otherwise held.This full week: Melbourne at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm5. FREMANTLE (12-7-1, 116.7%) Last week: Placed 4th, lost to Essendon by 1 ptIt should be receiving aggravating for Dockers followers - their staff has actually dropped four activities they led at three-quarter-time this year, pair of greater than any person else. As well as it would possess been actually a useful win over the Bombing planes also, provided the Swans' loss previously on the weekend break. In spite of all of them must face 3 groups resting over all of them on the step ladder over the ultimate three weeks our company are actually not too interested they definitely must win their 2 remaining home video games, which would suffice to participate in finals, and even on 13 as well as an one-half wins their exceptional percent will really perform some great holding off Essendon. This isn't the Freo of the past - they are actually No. 1 for factors scored over the final 6 full weeks, and also it's the first time because 2013 they've been No. 1 in the over any kind of six-week period.This week: Geelong at Optus Arena, Saturday 4:35 pmEmmett handed ban for hazardous handle|00:226. GWS GIANTS (13-7, 111.2%) Last week: Ranked 8th, def Hawthorn by 2 ptsThey looked no place near it by means of three fourths against the Hawks, however after that advised every person of the worth of super stars. Toby Greene is rather great, it turns out. Potential Coleman champion Jesse Hogan has been actually superb for 18 months. As well as also Brent Daniels, among their more underrated stars during the course of their current success, was actually a big consider the comeback with an immense 12 last-quarter fingertips. Provided the Lions' protective absentees exists some chance Hogan and also the staff obtain the Brisbane back 6 and pull a significant distress on Sunday? They're gon na need to have to win one more video game to play finals footy (as well as it may also be limited on 14 wins) so they might too get it performed ASAP.This week: Brisbane Lions at the Gabba, Sunday 1:45 pmKingsley stirs up healthy and balanced GWS settings|02:167. CARLTON (12-8, 112.1%) Recently: Ranked 5th, lost to Collingwood by 3 ptsWe're heading to always keep relying on the Blues until they push our palm, considering that there is actually still a great deal going their way. Yes they have actually dropped 4 of their last 5 video games, however 3 of those were actually merely through a couple of targets, as well as last Saturday evening was actually chosen through a zing. Perhaps much more significantly they are actually still the No. 1 crew in the AFL for factors coming from turnover differential - the best crucial racking up source. A whopping 19 of the final twenty crews to place No. 1 in that stat have made a preliminary final or even much better. They're predisposed, due to the fact that they're 16th for factors from clearances over the last six full weeks, but you 'd rather be actually turnover-focused (as they are this year) than stoppage-focused (as they were actually last year). It would certainly join a disaster if this staff missed the 8, provided the expectations as well as where they were merely a month ago, yet if they drop to the Hawks the possibility is live.This full week: Hawthorn at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm8. GEELONG (13-7, 108.9%) Last week: Rated 6th, def Adelaide by 5 ptsFunny just how the Kitties are both fairly well-placed in a limited finals ethnicity and also giving our company a lot less self-confidence in their premium together. The margin possibly shouldn't have been fairly that tight versus Adelaide, yet it was, and also our company probably need to have to quit talking about Kardinia Playground as a barrier - provided they are actually 5-3 in your home, 2 of those victories coming by singular digit frames. Yet again, they're well-placed on thirteen success and also with West Shore at home to find in the last around. Pinch a draw the Dockers or Street Kilda just before that, and they are actually well and truly secure in the 8. There are actually still some main reasons for assurance, like Patrick Dangerfield finding form and also the midfield conducting extremely well total against the Crows, plus the protection has actually stood more than the final 6 full weeks (No. 5 for points conceded). However even though the best 4 is actually available, they do not believe that a best 4 team.This full week: Fremantle at Optus Stadium, Sunday 4:35 pmRobbo exposes Tomahawks' best qualities|03:489. HAWTHORN (11-9, 104.1%) Last week: Rated 7th, dropped to GWS through 2 ptsSunday's game is actually the most necessary for any kind of one staff our team've found thus far in 2024. That is actually due to the fact that Hawthorn's end result versus Carlton are going to properly choose their time. They've received an agape pathway to 14 wins along with a victory, and also no crew has even missed the top 8 along with thirteen triumphes just before. But drop and also they're perhaps mosting likely to be actually 2 video games out of the 8 with 2 to play, a practically impossible position. They are actually still performing a whole lot right however the concern we understood regarding entering the season, their support, is striking at a bad time - over the final 6 full weeks they are actually No. 1 for interior fifties against, yet 17th for scores every inside 50 versus. Therefore teams may not be ascertaining certainly there much, yet when they perform, they are actually racking up at last will and testament. There's a little misfortune during that yet it is actually not all good fortune. As our experts've created in the past, even though the Hawks skip the finals this season has actually been awesome, yet jeez it will be actually disheartening when they are actually thus near some of the most effective tales in years.This full week: Carlton at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm10. ESSENDON (11-8-1, 95.9%) Last week: Rated 12th, def Fremantle by 1 ptTurns out our experts failed to remember exactly how significant Darcy Parish is actually to this team. After a silent very first activity back he was tremendous against a star-studded Freo midfield. With him this time, the Bombing planes are +20 for allowances and +18 from center allowances without him they are actually -17 and also +4 specifically. That get Freo could possibly receive all of them right into the finals yet there's also a genuine opportunity a person overlooks with 14 triumphes, particularly if the Hawks defeated Carlton this weekend break, and for the Bombing planes their draw as well as their unsatisfactory portion have the exact same impact of making all of them drop sudden deaths. It will be actually rather ruthless if they succeeded 13 as well as a half video games as well as lost out yet all at once, this is what takes place when you lose to non-finalists Melbourne, Adelaide and Street Kilda - you participate in them.This week: Gold Coastline Suns at Wonder Stadium, Saturday 7:30 pm' He's shielding all of them from the pressure'|03:0311. COLLINGWOOD (10-8-2, 100.2%) Recently: Placed 13th, def Carlton by 2 ptsSo the concern is actually, are they back? They need to be near their greatest to bring in the eight from here - Melbourne will not be actually betting just about anything in Round 24 so you will believe the Magpies succeed that a person, but facing the leading two over the next two full weeks is pretty challenging. Probably they have actually timed this clash with Sydney well, yet our company are actually certainly not certain Collingwood is good enough to defeat the ladder forerunners, even within this damaged state. It deserves noting the Magpies are actually just 16th for inside 50s over the last six full weeks, yet third for credit ratings every inside 50, therefore efficiency is actually keeping all of them going. Their defence has actually been actually no place near satisfactory over that time frame so they're heading to need to take their chances to cease the Swans, and also if they do, then the various other competitors will certainly begin to panic. Nobody intends to face a revived Magpies in September.This week: Sydney Swans at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmMagpies find finals spot versus swans|00:3012. MELBOURNE (10-10, 97.9%) Last week: Placed 10th, dropped to Western Bulldogs by 51 ptsFor the first time this years the Demons are going to move into the AFL period's lifeless area, playing out the string along with nothing at all on the line. In such a way, being actually effectively out of the finals nationality must be actually liberating - they can easily bet 2025, trialling players in brand new placements and sending aching players in for very early surgical treatments. After all check out Geelong and also Fremantle, that switched very disappointing 2023 periods right into most likely 2024 finals berths you can not pass over the ability of crews that've possessed effectiveness to simply rebound a year later on. Hell, Collingwood is the greatest example. Each one of this is actually why our team're not running scared about Melbourne's situation not up until midway with following year, anyway.This full week: Slot Adelaide at the MCG, Sunday 7:30 pm13. GOLD COASTLINES SUNSHINES (9-11, 100.4%) Recently: Ranked 11th, shed to West Shoreline through 10 ptsTheir home-away split is actually really shocking. Home ground perk is actually meant to be worth a target or two - certainly not transform you from absolute rubbish right into a top-four opponent! We know our team've been discussing this all year but the story has actually been the same all year ... much like the story of 'kinda being in the combine with 5-6 cycles left behind and then falling apart' has actually coincided for this whole nightclub for period after time. Get a new gimmick!This full week: Essendon at Marvel Coliseum, Saturday 7:30 pmBuckley regulations themself out of Eagles work|01:1814. ADELAIDE CROWS (7-12-1, 99.8%) Recently: Placed 15th, shed 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 by 85 ptsThis full week: Richmond at Wonder Arena, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, as we mentioned recently, these teams never ever possess the same result in the very same weekend break! Therefore after Adelaide's loss on Sunday it is actually time to inspect ball games for the Saints' activity and-ah. Straight. Never mind. For what it's worth the Crows possibly weren't like the scoreboard advised, receiving belted in the contest through a less-than-impressive Geelong midfield, so they were actually both below average. Permit's see if either staff can easily play spoiler over the ultimate 3 weeks - the Saints could mess up Carlton or Geelong's time, while the Crows could possibly injure the Pet dogs but even more importantly would adore to ruin Port's.

WEST COAST EAGLES (4-16, 70%) Last week: Placed 18th, def Gold Coastline through 10 ptsThis full week: North Melbourne at Blundstone Stadium, Saturday 1:45 pm17. NORTH MELBOURNE (3-17, 67%) Last week: Rated 17th, def Richmond through 16 ptsThis full week: West Coastline Eagles at Blundstone Arena, Sunday 1:45 pm18. RICHMOND (2-18, 64.7%) Recently: Positioned 16th, shed to North Melbourne by 16 ptsThis full week: Street Kilda at Wonder Arena, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, the two-week Spoonbowl is perhaps over, along with Richmond in fact deserving the sway North - they won the activity on assumed rating, off the back of 60 inside 50s to 44 - but kicking themselves in to the No. 1 choice. (Which is actually most likely for the greatest long-lasting.) Though to be decent, it's possible the Kangaroos have really learnt goalkicking, provided they're No. 1 in the AFL for reliability this year. West Shoreline on the other hand was actually properly excellent versus a team playing for it time, along with a season-high pressure ranking and their third-best disputed properties gain for the year. Due to the fact that Jarrad Schofield managed the Eagles have actually gone coming from 17th in the AFL for pressure to 8th, which is a fair sign they are actually playing for him. Currently all eyes rely on North's try to complete outside the bottom pair of for the very first time this many years - while it will still go down to percent, they would certainly be in a great position along with a gain in Hobart.
