BRISBANE LIONS (13-6-1, 125.1%) Last week: Rated 1st, def Street Kilda by 85 ptsThis week: GWS Giants at the Gabba, Saturday 1:45 pm2. WESTERN BULLDOGS (12-8, 122.4%) Last week: Rated second, def Melbourne through 51 ptsThis week: Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pmWith the Swans diminishing a cliff, if our company had to predict a Grand Final right now, this would certainly be it. It might certainly not even be possible - if the Bulldogs can not fracture the leading four, they may be on an inevitable conflict in a prelim. Yet in a set of video games that our experts presumed were actually possible fruit peelings, both they as well as Brisbane were leading. The Dogs' defence is actually incredible today even with all their employees concerns, No. 2 for aspects made it possible for and also No. 1 for factors permitted from turnovers over the last six weeks, while the Lions have actually elevated in that team over that time period too (and also they poorly required to). Provided exactly how well Brisbane are going you actually must question, will they be actually the totally prevalent flag favorite right now if they had not copped many ACL accidents? To become in this particular posture offered those strikes is actually very impressive, and also the Bulldogs are as near a serious flag contender as they've been for several years. What our company've discovered over the last few times is actually that the AFL's attempts to bring affordable balance indicate staffs can definitely get going mid-season and also rise in to the premiership ethnicity - our team must stop dismissing accomplished lists when they start slowly.Kingy unleashes on 'worrying' Swans|03:523. SYDNEY SWANS (14-6, 126.1%) Last week: Placed 3rd, shed to Port Adelaide through 112 ptsNo concern where you appear, Saturday night was actually embarrassingly inadequate. There are actually only a few comparables to THIS type of reduction for an eventual premier, but none were this negative. Actually no V/AFL premier has lost a game through much more than one hundred factors that season, and the largest loss through an eventual premier in the AFL period was actually Slot Adelaide receiving pumped by 92 aspects against the Kangaroos in Sphere 8, 2004. The bigger complication is actually that this isn't practically the last 2 full weeks over the final 6 they're 17th for contested belongings, 18th for groundball receives, 18th for approvals, 17th for aspects coming from turn over differential and also 15th for tension score. A blowout reduction will blow those stats out at the same time however they have nothing like a premier's profile page due to the fact that the beginning of July. Therefore why perform our team still have all of them third? Well you do not sit a million activities clear on top of the ladder for no explanation maybe the rest of the AFL has discovered them out yet we still possess some peace of mind the Swans can easily discover one thing near their finest. As well as they must still finish best 2, which prepares all of them up as well as possible.This full week: Collingwood at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmLongmire hits back at "self-indulgent" remarks|01:004. SLOT ADELAIDE (13-7, 113.6%) Last week: Placed 9th, def Sydney through 112 ptsUnfortunately for the Power, when you win an activity through THAT a lot, the account is actually constantly about the dropping group and exactly how the heck they were that negative. So let's provide Port some was worthy of approval, considering that they are truly resembling a top-four group at this moment, as well as could be severe! Over the final six full weeks they're No. 2 in the AFL for points racked up, No. 1 for points versus, No. 3 for disputed properties as well as No. 3 for allowances - yes the size of the Sydney succeed throws those stats out a little, however they have actually clearly discovered some genuine type. As well as if they have actually closed the gap in between where they were actually, during that 5th to 8th brace, down end of the best 4 they are actually truly in the prelim ultimate ethnicity. Which will be a fair result provided the basic feel of frustration this season has otherwise held.This week: Melbourne at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm5. FREMANTLE (12-7-1, 116.7%) Last week: Rated fourth, dropped to Essendon through 1 ptIt need to be receiving annoying for Dockers fans - their team has actually shed 4 activities they led at three-quarter-time this year, 2 more than any person else. As well as it would've been a useful win over the Bombers as well, offered the Swans' reduction earlier on the weekend break. Regardless of them having to face three crews sitting over them on the step ladder over the last three full weeks our experts're not also worried they truly ought to succeed their two continuing to be home video games, which would be enough to participate in finals, and also on 13 as well as a half wins their excellent 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 last 6 full weeks, as well as it is actually the first time given that 2013 they've been No. 1 in the over any sort of six-week period.This full week: Geelong at Optus Arena, Saturday 4:35 pmEmmett handed ban for unsafe take on|00:226. GWS GIANTS (13-7, 111.2%) Recently: Placed 8th, def Hawthorn through 2 ptsThey looked nowhere near it through 3 quarters against the Hawks, but after that told everybody of the worth of celebrities. Toby Greene is fairly good, it appears. Potential Coleman victor Jesse Hogan has been actually awesome for 18 months. As well as also Brent Daniels, some of their more underrated stars in the course of their current results, was actually a massive think about the comeback with a massive 12 last-quarter fingertips. Given the Lions' defensive absentees exists some odds Hogan and the workers acquire the Brisbane back 6 as well as pull a severe trouble on Sunday? They are actually gon na need to gain one more game to participate in finals footy (as well as it may even be actually tight on 14 success) so they may too get it done ASAP.This full week: Brisbane Lions at the Gabba, Saturday 1:45 pmKingsley fires up healthy GWS scenes|02:167. CARLTON (12-8, 112.1%) Recently: Placed 5th, dropped to Collingwood through 3 ptsWe are actually mosting likely to maintain relying on the Blues up until they require our hand, considering that there's still a lot going their way. Yes they've shed four of their last five activities, yet 3 of those were actually merely by a number of targets, as well as final Sunday evening was actually virtually made a decision by a kick. Perhaps more essentially they are actually still the No. 1 staff in the AFL for points from turnover differential - the most necessary scoring resource. A massive 19 of the final twenty teams to rank No. 1 during that stat have created an initial last or even a lot better. They're prejudiced, considering that they're 16th for points coming from spaces over the final 6 full weeks, but you 'd rather be turnover-focused (as they are this year) than stoppage-focused (as they were in 2013). It would certainly join a disaster if this group missed the 8, offered the expectations as well as where they were simply a month back, yet if they lose to the Hawks the opportunity is live.This week: Hawthorn at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm8. GEELONG (13-7, 108.9%) Last week: Positioned 6th, def Adelaide by 5 ptsFunny exactly how the Pussy-cats are actually both pretty well-placed in a strict finals race as well as giving us a lot less peace of mind in their top quality together. The frame probably should not have actually been actually rather that strict versus Adelaide, yet it was actually, and also our experts perhaps need to have to cease speaking about Kardinia Playground as a fortress - offered they're 5-3 in the house, 2 of those wins obtaining solitary finger scopes. However again, they're well-placed on 13 success and also along with West Coastline at home to come in the final around. Squeeze a get the Dockers or Street Kilda just before that, and they're effectively and also really risk-free in the eight. There are still some main reasons for confidence, like Patrick Dangerfield discovering kind as well as the midfield executing quite possibly general against the Crows, plus the support has stood up well over the final 6 weeks (No. 5 for factors yielded). But even though the best 4 is within reach, they do not think that a leading four team.This week: Fremantle at Optus Arena, Sunday 4:35 pmRobbo exposes Tomahawks' highests|03:489. HAWTHORN (11-9, 104.1%) Recently: Rated 7th, shed to GWS through 2 ptsSunday's game is the most essential for any one crew our team have actually viewed thus far in 2024. That's due to the fact that Hawthorn's result against Carlton are going to effectively determine their season. They've obtained a wide-open pathway to 14 victories with a victory, and no staff has also overlooked the best eight along with thirteen triumphes just before. Yet drop as well as they are actually possibly going to be actually pair of activities out of the 8 along with pair of to participate in, a just about irreparable posture. They are actually still performing a lot right however the complication we understood regarding entering into the period, their support, is striking at a bad time - over the final six weeks they're No. 1 for interior 50s versus, but 17th for ratings every inside fifty versus. So crews may not be ascertaining certainly there much, yet when they perform, they're racking up at last will and testament. There's a little bit of tragedy during that yet it is actually certainly not all fortune. As our team've written in the past, even though the Hawks miss the finals this period has actually been fabulous, but jeez it 'd be actually annoying when they're so near to among the most ideal 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 failed to remember just how vital Darcy Church is to this crew. After a silent initial video game back he was enormous versus a star-studded Freo midfield. Along with him this season, the Bombers are actually +20 for spaces and +18 from facility allowances without him they are actually -17 as well as +4 respectively. That gain Freo could possibly receive all of them in to the finals however there is actually likewise a genuine chance an individual misses along with 14 triumphes, specifically if the Hawks trumped Carlton this weekend break, and for the Bombers their draw and their inadequate percentage possess the same effect of creating them drop sudden deaths. It would certainly be actually quite severe if they won thirteen and an one-half activities as well as lost out yet simultaneously, this is what happens when you lose to non-finalists Melbourne, Adelaide and Street Kilda - you sign up with them.This week: Gold Coast Suns at Marvel Coliseum, Saturday 7:30 pm' He's shielding them coming from the tension'|03:0311. COLLINGWOOD (10-8-2, 100.2%) Last week: Placed 13th, def Carlton by 2 ptsSo the inquiry is actually, are they back? They require to be near their best to make the 8 from here - Melbourne will not be actually betting just about anything in Round 24 so you 'd presume the Magpies win that, but experiencing the leading 2 over the upcoming two weeks is actually quite hard. Possibly they have actually timed this encounter Sydney properly, but we are actually certainly not certain Collingwood is good enough to trump the step ladder innovators, even in this weakened state. It costs taking note the Magpies are only 16th for inside 50s over the last 6 weeks, however third for credit ratings per inside fifty, therefore efficiency is keeping them going. Their defence has been actually no place near adequate over that duration so they're mosting likely to need to have to take their possibilities to quit the Swans, and also if they do, at that point the other competitors are going to start to stress. No one intends to face a brought back Magpies in September.This week: Sydney Swans at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmMagpies find finals detect against swans|00:3012. MELBOURNE (10-10, 97.9%) Last week: Placed 10th, lost to Western Bulldogs by 51 ptsFor the first time this decade the Demons are going to move right into the AFL season's dead zone, participating in out the chain with nothing on the line. In a manner, being properly away from the finals nationality ought to be liberating - they can easily play for 2025, trialling gamers in brand new positions and sending aching players in for very early surgical procedures. Besides look at Geelong and also Fremantle, who switched really unsatisfactory 2023 times into probably 2024 finals berths you can't pass over the potential of crews who have actually had effectiveness to just recover a year eventually. Hell, Collingwood is the most effective instance. Each of this is actually why we are actually certainly not stressing regarding Melbourne's situation not until midway by means of next year, anyway.This full week: Slot Adelaide at the MCG, Sunday 7:30 pm13. GOLD SHORELINES SUNS (9-11, 100.4%) Recently: Positioned 11th, dropped to West Shoreline through 10 ptsTheir home-away crack is actually really spectacular. Home ground conveniences is actually supposed to become worth an objective or 2 - not transform you coming from downright rubbish into a top-four contender! We understand we've been writing about this all year but the account has been the same all year ... similar to the account of 'kinda being in the combine with 5-6 rounds left behind and then breaking down' has coincided for this entire nightclub for time after season. Acquire a brand new gimmick!This full week: Essendon at Marvel Coliseum, Sunday 7:30 pmBuckley rules themself out of Eagles task|01:1814. ADELAIDE CROWS (7-12-1, 99.8%) Recently: Rated 15th, shed to Geelong by 5 ptsThis week: Western Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pm15. ST KILDA (8-12, 94.9%) Last week: Placed 14th, shed to Brisbane by 85 ptsThis week: Richmond at Wonder Arena, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, as our experts pointed out recently, these groups never ever possess the same cause the very same weekend break! Thus after Adelaide's reduction on Saturday it's time to inspect ball games for the Saints' game and-ah. Straight. Don't bother. Of what it deserves the Crows most likely weren't comparable to the scoreboard recommended, acquiring bashed in the competition through a less-than-impressive Geelong midfield, so they were each below par. Permit's find if either crew can easily play spoiler over the ultimate three weeks - the Saints could destroy Carlton or even Geelong's period, while the Crows might harm the Dogs however additional notably will like to spoil Slot's.

WEST SHORELINE BALD EAGLES (4-16, 70%) Recently: Ranked 18th, def Gold Shore through 10 ptsThis full week: North Melbourne at Blundstone Field, Saturday 1:45 pm17. NORTH MELBOURNE (3-17, 67%) Last week: Positioned 17th, def Richmond through 16 ptsThis full week: West Coast Eagles at Blundstone Stadium, Sunday 1:45 pm18. RICHMOND (2-18, 64.7%) Last week: Ranked 16th, dropped to North Melbourne by 16 ptsThis full week: Street Kilda at Wonder Arena, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, the two-week Spoonbowl is perhaps over, with Richmond really deserving the gain North - they succeeded the activity on anticipated credit rating, off the back of 60 inside 50s to 44 - but kicking themselves right into the No. 1 choice. (Which is most likely advantageous long-lasting.) Though to become decent, it is actually feasible the Kangaroos have actually understood goalkicking, provided they're No. 1 in the AFL for precision this year. West Shoreline at the same time was actually effectively excellent versus a crew playing for it season, with a season-high tension rating as well as their third-best contested belongings gain for the year. Given that Jarrad Schofield took control of the Eagles have gone coming from 17th in the AFL for stress to eighth, which is actually a decent sign they are actually playing for him. Now all eyes turn to North's effort to end up outside all-time low 2 for the very first time this years - while it would still drop to percentage, they would certainly reside in an excellent posture along with a win in Hobart.
