BRISBANE LIONS (13-6-1, 125.1%) Recently: Placed 1st, def St Kilda through 85 ptsThis week: GWS Giants at the Gabba, Sunday 1:45 pm2. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (12-8, 122.4%) Recently: Rated 2nd, def Melbourne by 51 ptsThis week: Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pmWith the Swans diminishing a high cliff, if our team needed to predict a Grand Final now, this will be it. It might not even be actually possible - if the Bulldogs can't split the top four, they might be on an unavoidable collision course in a prelim. However in a pair of activities that our experts assumed were possible banana peels, both they and also Brisbane were dominant. The Pets' defence is stunning right now even with all their personnel issues, No. 2 for aspects allowed as well as No. 1 for aspects allowed coming from turnovers over the final six weeks, while the Lions have actually raised because division over that time frame as well (and also they severely needed to). Provided just how well Brisbane are going you really need to question, will they be actually the totally leading banner much-loved right now if they had not copped many ACL injuries? To be in this particular posture given those impacts is actually extremely outstanding, as well as the Bulldogs are as near a severe banner opponent as they have actually been actually for several years. What we've found out over the last couple of periods is that the AFL's attempts to deliver very competitive equilibrium imply staffs can truly get going mid-season and rise right into the premiership ethnicity - our experts need to stop eliminating gifted checklists when they start slowly.Kingy releases on 'scary' Swans|03:523. SYDNEY SWANS (14-6, 126.1%) Last week: Rated third, shed to Slot Adelaide through 112 ptsNo issue where you appear, Sunday evening was actually embarrassingly bad. There are actually a few comparables to THIS sort of reduction for a possible premier, however none were this bad. In reality no V/AFL premier has actually dropped a video game by greater than 100 aspects that time, as well as the most significant loss through a possible premier in the AFL era was actually Port Adelaide acquiring pushed by 92 factors versus the Kangaroos in Round 8, 2004. The much bigger issue is actually that this isn't almost the last two full weeks over the final six they're 17th for disputed things, 18th for groundball acquires, 18th for authorizations, 17th for aspects from turn over differential and 15th for stress score. A blowout reduction is going to blow those statistics out too yet they possess absolutely nothing like a premier's profile page given that the begin of July. So why do our company still have all of them third? Well you don't rest a thousand video games crystal clear in addition to the ladder for no factor perhaps the remainder of the AFL has found them out but our team still possess some assurance the Swans may find one thing near to their absolute best. And they ought to still finish leading pair of, which sets all of them up as well as possible.This full week: Collingwood at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmLongmire hits back at "egocentric" remarks|01:004. SLOT ADELAIDE (13-7, 113.6%) Recently: Positioned 9th, def Sydney through 112 ptsUnfortunately for the Power, when you win a video game by THAT considerably, the story is always about the losing crew and how the heck they were actually that poor. Therefore let's provide Port some ought to have approval, since they are actually genuinely looking like a top-four staff at the moment, as well as could be severe! Over the final 6 full weeks they're No. 2 in the AFL for factors racked up, No. 1 for points versus, No. 3 for contended things and also No. 3 for clearances - yes the measurement of the Sydney succeed tosses those stats out a little, but they have actually precisely found some true form. As well as if they've shut the space in between where they were, in that 5th to 8th bracket, to the bottom end of the top four they're genuinely in the prelim final nationality. Which will be a pretty good end result provided the general atmosphere of disappointment this period has otherwise held.This week: Melbourne at the MCG, Sunday 7:30 pm5. FREMANTLE (12-7-1, 116.7%) Recently: Rated fourth, dropped to Essendon by 1 ptIt must be getting irritating for Dockers enthusiasts - their team has actually shed four video games they led at three-quarter-time this year, pair of much more than anybody else. And it would've been a convenient gain the Bombers too, offered the Swans' loss earlier on the weekend break. Even with them needing to face three groups sitting above all of them on the step ladder over the ultimate 3 weeks we are actually certainly not as well interested they really ought to win their pair of continuing to be home games, which would suffice to participate in finals, and also even on thirteen and a half gains their exceptional amount will in fact do some excellent holding off Essendon. This isn't the Freo of recent - they're No. 1 for aspects racked up over the last 6 full weeks, as well as it's the very first time due to the fact that 2013 they've been actually No. 1 in the over any sort of six-week period.This week: Geelong at Optus Coliseum, Saturday 4:35 pmEmmett handed ban for unsafe deal with|00:226. GWS GIANTS (13-7, 111.2%) Last week: Ranked 8th, def Hawthorn by 2 ptsThey appeared nowhere near it with three quarters against the Hawks, however at that point reminded every person of the value of celebrities. Toby Greene is pretty good, it turns out. Potential Coleman victor Jesse Hogan has been actually great for 18 months. And even Brent Daniels, one of their more underrated superstars in the course of their current effectiveness, was a huge factor in the comeback along with a massive 12 last-quarter fingertips. Offered the Lions' defensive absentees is there some chance Hogan and also the workers acquire the Brisbane back six and also draw a severe trouble on Sunday? They are actually gon na need to have to win one more activity to play finals footy (and also it might also be actually limited on 14 wins) so they may too get it carried out ASAP.This week: Brisbane Lions at the Gabba, Sunday 1:45 pmKingsley kindles healthy GWS settings|02:167. CARLTON (12-8, 112.1%) Recently: Placed 5th, shed to Collingwood by 3 ptsWe are actually visiting keep relying on the Blues until they require our palm, considering that there's still a lot going their means. Yes they have actually dropped four of their last five games, but 3 of those were actually just through a couple of targets, and final Saturday evening was actually virtually determined by a zing. Maybe much more importantly they are still the No. 1 team in the AFL for factors coming from turn over differential - the most important scoring resource. A monstrous 19 of the last 20 groups to place No. 1 because stat have created an initial final or much better. They're unfair, since they are actually 16th for points coming from spaces over the last 6 full weeks, but you prefer to be actually turnover-focused (as they are this year) than stoppage-focused (as they were actually in 2014). It would certainly be close to a catastrophe if this crew skipped the 8, offered the expectations and also where they were actually only a month ago, yet if they shed to the Hawks the possibility is live.This week: Hawthorn at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm8. GEELONG (13-7, 108.9%) Recently: Placed sixth, def Adelaide through 5 ptsFunny just how the Pussy-cats are both quite well-placed in a limited finals ethnicity and also giving us much less self-confidence in their top quality together. The margin most likely should not have been rather that limited against Adelaide, however it was actually, as well as our team possibly require to stop speaking about Kardinia Playground as a fortress - offered they're 5-3 in your home, two of those triumphes getting single finger frames. But once again, they're well-placed on 13 victories and along with West Shoreline in your home to follow in the ultimate around. Pinch a sway the Dockers or Street Kilda before that, as well as they are actually properly and also genuinely risk-free in the eight. There are still some explanations for confidence, like Patrick Dangerfield locating type and the midfield performing well overall against the Crows, plus the defence has actually stood up well over the final 6 full weeks (No. 5 for factors yielded). However despite the fact that the best four is actually available, they don't seem like a best four team.This full week: Fremantle at Optus Coliseum, Saturday 4:35 pmRobbo uncovers Tomahawks' highests|03:489. HAWTHORN (11-9, 104.1%) Recently: Rated 7th, dropped to GWS by 2 ptsSunday's game is actually the absolute most significant for any type of one staff our company've viewed until now in 2024. That's due to the fact that Hawthorn's end result against Carlton are going to successfully decide their time. They have actually received an agape pathway to 14 success with a success, and also no crew has actually also missed the top 8 along with thirteen wins prior to. However drop as well as they are actually perhaps going to be actually two games out of the 8 with 2 to participate in, a nearly unattainable placement. They are actually still doing a whole lot right yet the issue we understood about entering the season, their support, is striking at a bad time - over the last six weeks they are actually No. 1 for interior fifties against, but 17th for credit ratings every inside fifty against. So staffs may not be ascertaining there a lot, however when they do, they are actually racking up at will. There is actually a little bad luck in that however it is actually certainly not all good luck. As we've composed previously, even when the Hawks miss the finals this period has been actually amazing, however jeez it would certainly be annoying when they're therefore near to some of the very best 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 we overlooked exactly how vital Darcy Parish is actually to this team. After a quiet 1st game back he was huge against a star-studded Freo midfield. Along with him this time, the Bombers are +20 for clearances as well as +18 coming from centre open spaces without him they're -17 and +4 respectively. That draw Freo might acquire them into the finals but there is actually also a genuine chance a person misses out on with 14 wins, specifically if the Hawks trumped Carlton this weekend, as well as for the Bombing planes their draw and also their bad amount have the exact same result of creating all of them lose sudden deaths. It will be quite ruthless if they won 13 and also a half video games and lost out but simultaneously, this is what takes place when you shed to non-finalists Melbourne, Adelaide and Street Kilda - you participate in them.This full week: Gold Coastline Suns at Wonder Coliseum, Saturday 7:30 pm' He's shielding all of them from the tension'|03:0311. COLLINGWOOD (10-8-2, 100.2%) Recently: Placed 13th, def Carlton through 2 ptsSo the question is, are they back? They need to become near their greatest to bring in the 8 hence - Melbourne will not be actually playing for everything in Cycle 24 so you will believe the Magpies succeed that, yet facing the best two over the upcoming pair of full weeks is actually rather challenging. Perhaps they've timed this clash with Sydney properly, but our company're not persuaded Collingwood suffices to trump the ladder forerunners, also within this stressed state. It costs noting the Magpies are only 16th for inside 50s over the last six weeks, yet third for scores per inside 50, therefore productivity is maintaining all of them going. Their defence has been no place near satisfactory over that period so they're mosting likely to require to take their opportunities to cease the Swans, and if they carry out, at that point the other opponents will certainly begin to worry. Nobody intends to deal with a brought back Magpies in September.This full week: Sydney Swans at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmMagpies look for finals identify versus swans|00:3012. MELBOURNE (10-10, 97.9%) Recently: Positioned 10th, dropped to Western Bulldogs through 51 ptsFor the first time this decade the Demons will definitely head in to the AFL period's dead region, participating in out the chain with absolutely nothing vulnerable. In a manner, being actually effectively away from the finals ethnicity need to be actually freeing - they may bet 2025, trialling players in brand new settings and delivering sore players in for very early surgeries. Nevertheless consider Geelong and Fremantle, that turned really disappointing 2023 seasons in to probably 2024 finals berths you can't count out the potential of staffs that have actually possessed results to simply recover a year eventually. Hell, Collingwood is the most effective example. All of this is why our team're certainly not worrying about Melbourne's circumstance certainly not up until midway via next year, anyway.This full week: Slot Adelaide at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm13. GOLD COAST SUNLIGHT (9-11, 100.4%) Recently: Placed 11th, lost to West Coast through 10 ptsTheir home-away crack is absolutely astonishing. Home ground conveniences is actually meant to be worth a target or two - not turn you coming from absolute rubbish right into a top-four opponent! We understand our company have actually been covering this all year however the account has coincided all year ... similar to the account of 'kinda residing in the blend with 5-6 cycles left behind and afterwards collapsing' has coincided for this entire nightclub for time after season. Get a brand-new gimmick!This week: Essendon at Wonder Arena, Sunday 7:30 pmBuckley guidelines himself away from Eagles job|01:1814. ADELAIDE CROWS (7-12-1, 99.8%) Last week: Rated 15th, lost to Geelong by 5 ptsThis week: Western Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pm15. ST KILDA (8-12, 94.9%) Recently: Ranked 14th, shed to Brisbane by 85 ptsThis full week: Richmond at Wonder Arena, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, as our team said recently, these crews never have the same cause the very same weekend break! Thus after Adelaide's loss on Saturday it is actually time to check out the scores for the Saints' video game and-ah. Right. Never mind. Wherefore it deserves the Crows probably weren't comparable to the scoreboard recommended, obtaining belted in the contest through a less-than-impressive Geelong midfield, so they were actually both wanting. Permit's view if either team may play spoiler over the final 3 full weeks - the Saints can ruin Carlton or Geelong's time, while the Crows can injure the Pet dogs but more importantly will really love to destroy Port's.

WEST COASTLINE BALD EAGLES (4-16, 70%) Recently: Positioned 18th, def Gold Shoreline through 10 ptsThis week: North Melbourne at Blundstone Field, Saturday 1:45 pm17. NORTH MELBOURNE (3-17, 67%) Recently: Ranked 17th, def Richmond by 16 ptsThis week: West Shore Eagles at Blundstone Stadium, Saturday 1:45 pm18. RICHMOND (2-18, 64.7%) Last week: Positioned 16th, lost to North Melbourne through 16 ptsThis full week: Street Kilda at Marvel Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, the two-week Spoonbowl is actually most likely over, with Richmond actually deserving the get North - they gained the activity on expected score, off the rear of 60 inside 50s to 44 - however kicking themselves right into the No. 1 choice. (Which is possibly for the greatest long-term.) Though to become fair, it is actually feasible the Kangaroos have really understood goalkicking, provided they are actually No. 1 in the AFL for reliability this year. West Coast at the same time was appropriately exceptional against a crew playing for it time, along with a season-high pressure score and also their third-best disputed properties succeed for the year. Given that Jarrad Schofield took over the Eagles have actually gone coming from 17th in the AFL for pressure to 8th, which is actually a good sign they're betting him. Right now all eyes rely on North's try to complete outside the bottom 2 for the first time this many years - while it would still decrease to percent, they 'd remain in a great placement along with a gain in Hobart.
