BRISBANE COUGARS (13-6-1, 125.1%) Last week: 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: Ranked second, def Melbourne by 51 ptsThis full week: Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pmWith the Swans diminishing a high cliff, if our experts must predict a Grand Final right now, this will be it. It may not even be actually feasible - if the Bulldogs can not fracture the top 4, they may be on an inescapable conflict in a prelim. But in a set of video games that our experts assumed were actually prospective fruit peels, both they and Brisbane were dominant. The Pet dogs' defence is actually incredible at this moment even with all their workers concerns, No. 2 for factors enabled as well as No. 1 for factors permitted coming from turnovers over the final six full weeks, while the Lions have actually lifted in that team over that time frame as well (and also they extremely needed to). Offered just how effectively Brisbane are actually going you actually need to ask yourself, will they be actually the completely leading flag favorite at the moment if they hadn't copped numerous ACL injuries? To be in this particular posture provided those strikes is incredibly impressive, as well as the Bulldogs are actually as near a serious banner challenger as they have actually been for many years. What our company've learned over the last few periods is actually that the AFL's initiatives to take affordable equilibrium mean staffs can definitely start mid-season and surge right into the premiership nationality - our team have to quit ruling out gifted listings when they start slowly.Kingy releases on 'worrying' Swans|03:523. SYDNEY SWANS (14-6, 126.1%) Recently: Positioned 3rd, dropped to Port Adelaide by 112 ptsNo issue where you look, Sunday night was embarrassingly unsatisfactory. There are actually only a few comparables to THIS sort of loss for a resulting premier, yet none of them were this negative. In fact no V/AFL premier has lost a game by much more than 100 factors that time, as well as the most significant reduction through an eventual premier in the AFL era was Slot Adelaide receiving pumped through 92 aspects against the Kangaroos in Sphere 8, 2004. The bigger problem is actually that this isn't almost the final pair of full weeks over the last six they're 17th for objected to things, 18th for groundball gets, 18th for authorizations, 17th for points from turnover differential and also 15th for tension score. A blowout reduction will certainly blow those statistics out too but they possess nothing like a premier's profile considering that the start of July. So why perform our experts still possess all of them 3rd? Well you don't rest a million video games very clear atop the step ladder for no explanation perhaps the remainder of the AFL has actually found them out however our experts still have some confidence the Swans can easily discover something near their ideal. And they must still finish top 2, which specifies all of them up along with possible.This full week: Collingwood at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmLongmire hits back at "self-indulgent" comments|01:004. SLOT ADELAIDE (13-7, 113.6%) Recently: Rated 9th, def Sydney through 112 ptsUnfortunately for the Energy, when you succeed a video game by THAT much, the story is actually regularly concerning the dropping group as well as how the heck they were actually that bad. Therefore allow's provide Port some deserved approval, because they are actually really resembling a top-four staff right now, and could be major! Over the last 6 full weeks they are actually No. 2 in the AFL for factors scored, No. 1 for points against, No. 3 for opposed properties and No. 3 for spaces - yes the size of the Sydney win throws those statistics out a small amount, but they've plainly located some real form. As well as if they've closed the void in between where they were, because 5th to 8th bracket, to the bottom end of the leading four they are actually really in the prelim final nationality. Which would be a decent result offered the basic atmosphere of disappointment this period has typically held.This week: Melbourne at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm5. FREMANTLE (12-7-1, 116.7%) Recently: Rated 4th, lost to Essendon by 1 ptIt should be getting irritating for Dockers supporters - their group has actually dropped 4 video games they led at three-quarter-time this year, 2 much more than anyone else. As well as it would certainly possess been actually a helpful win over the Bombers also, provided the Swans' loss previously on the weekend break. Despite them must encounter three groups sitting over them on the step ladder over the last three weeks our experts're not as well concerned they definitely must gain their pair of remaining home video games, which would certainly suffice to participate in finals, and also even on thirteen as well as a fifty percent gains their great percentage will really do some great holding off Essendon. This isn't the Freo of recent - they are actually No. 1 for aspects racked up over the last 6 weeks, and it is actually the first time due to the fact that 2013 they have actually been No. 1 in the compensation over any kind of six-week period.This full week: Geelong at Optus Stadium, Sunday 4:35 pmEmmett handed ban for dangerous deal with|00:226. GWS GIANTS (13-7, 111.2%) Last week: Positioned 8th, def Hawthorn by 2 ptsThey looked nowhere near it via 3 one-fourths against the Hawks, however after that advised everybody of the worth of super stars. Toby Greene is actually pretty really good, it turns out. Possible Coleman champion Jesse Hogan has actually been great for 18 months. And also even Brent Daniels, some of their even more underrated superstars in the course of their recent excellence, was actually a massive factor in the comeback along with a tremendous 12 last-quarter disposals. Offered the Lions' protective absentees is there some odds Hogan and the staff get a hold of the Brisbane back six and draw a significant trouble on Saturday? They are actually gon na require to succeed another video game to play finals footy (as well as it might also be strict on 14 success) so they may at the same time receive it performed 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: Ranked 5th, shed to Collingwood by 3 ptsWe're mosting likely to always keep believing in cry until they require our palm, because there's still a lot going their means. Yes they have actually shed four of their final 5 activities, but 3 of those were actually simply by a couple of targets, as well as last Saturday evening was practically decided by a kick. Perhaps extra significantly they are actually still the No. 1 crew in the AFL for points from turn over differential - the most vital scoring resource. A monstrous 19 of the last twenty teams to rank No. 1 because stat have actually made a preparatory final or even much better. They're one-sided, given that they are actually 16th for aspects from open spaces over the last six weeks, but you 'd rather be actually turnover-focused (as they are this year) than stoppage-focused (as they were actually in 2013). It will be close to a disaster if this group skipped the 8, offered the requirements as well as where they were actually simply a month ago, but if they shed to the Hawks the option is actually live.This full week: Hawthorn at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm8. GEELONG (13-7, 108.9%) Recently: Positioned sixth, def Adelaide through 5 ptsFunny just how the Cats are both quite well-placed in a strict finals race and also offering our team a lot less confidence in their top quality simultaneously. The scope possibly should not have actually been very that tight against Adelaide, yet it was, and our experts most likely need to have to stop discussing Kardinia Park as a barrier - given they are actually 5-3 in the house, 2 of those success obtaining singular finger scopes. However once again, they're well-placed on 13 success and along with West Coast at home to follow in the ultimate round. Pinch a win over the Dockers or even St Kilda prior to that, and also they are actually well and also really safe in the eight. There are actually still some causes for self-confidence, like Patrick Dangerfield discovering form and also the midfield doing quite possibly overall versus the Crows, plus the support has stood up well over the last 6 weeks (No. 5 for factors acknowledged). But even though the leading four is actually available, they don't believe that a leading four team.This week: Fremantle at Optus Arena, Sunday 4:35 pmRobbo uncovers Tomahawks' highest qualities|03:489. HAWTHORN (11-9, 104.1%) Recently: Rated 7th, dropped to GWS by 2 ptsSunday's video game is the best significant for any kind of one group our team have actually observed up until now in 2024. That is actually since Hawthorn's end result versus Carlton will properly determine their season. They've obtained a wide-open road to 14 triumphes along with a success, and also no team has even missed out on the best eight with thirteen triumphes prior to. Yet lose as well as they are actually perhaps visiting be actually pair of video games out of the eight with 2 to participate in, a nearly unrealizable posture. They are still performing a whole lot right but the concern we knew regarding entering into the time, their defence, stands out at a bad time - over the final six weeks they are actually No. 1 for within fifties against, but 17th for scores per inside fifty versus. Therefore crews may not be getting it down there certainly much, however when they perform, they are actually scoring at last will and testament. There's a little misfortune during that however it is actually certainly not all fortune. As our company've composed previously, regardless of whether the Hawks skip the finals this season has actually been actually awesome, yet jeez it would certainly be actually irritating when they are actually so near to one of the best accounts in years.This week: Carlton at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm10. ESSENDON (11-8-1, 95.9%) Recently: Ranked 12th, def Fremantle by 1 ptTurns out our experts forgot just how necessary Darcy Church is to this staff. After a peaceful very first game back he was immense versus a star-studded Freo midfield. With him this period, the Bombers are +20 for spaces as well as +18 from facility spaces without him they are actually -17 as well as +4 specifically. That draw Freo could get them right into the finals however there's additionally a genuine opportunity a person misses out on along with 14 success, specifically if the Hawks trumped Carlton this weekend, and also for the Bombers their draw and also their bad amount have the exact same impact of making all of them drop tiebreakers. It would be actually pretty ruthless if they succeeded thirteen and a half activities as well as missed out yet at the same time, this is what occurs when you lose to non-finalists Melbourne, Adelaide as well as Street Kilda - you join them.This full week: Gold Coast Suns at Marvel Stadium, Saturday 7:30 pm' He's shielding them from the stress'|03:0311. COLLINGWOOD (10-8-2, 100.2%) Last week: Placed 13th, def Carlton by 2 ptsSo the concern is actually, are they back? They need to become near their ideal to make the 8 hence - Melbourne won't be playing for anything in Cycle 24 so you will presume the Magpies win that one, however encountering the leading 2 over the following 2 full weeks is actually pretty challenging. Probably they have actually timed this clash with Sydney well, however our company're certainly not certain Collingwood suffices to defeat the ladder leaders, also in this weakened state. It deserves keeping in mind the Magpies are just 16th for inside 50s over the last 6 full weeks, yet 3rd for credit ratings per inside fifty, so efficiency is actually keeping them going. Their support has actually been actually no place near acceptable over that period so they are actually heading to need to have to take their possibilities to quit the Swans, and also if they do, after that the other competitors will definitely start to panic. No person intends to encounter a brought back Magpies in September.This full week: Sydney Swans at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmMagpies look for finals detect against swans|00:3012. MELBOURNE (10-10, 97.9%) Last week: Rated 10th, lost to Western Bulldogs by 51 ptsFor the first time this decade the Demons are going to move into the AFL time's dead area, playing out the string with nothing on the line. In a way, being actually effectively away from the finals nationality should be liberating - they may play for 2025, trialling players in brand new postures and also sending painful gamers in for very early surgical operations. Besides consider Geelong and also Fremantle, that turned extremely unsatisfying 2023 seasons into most likely 2024 finals berths you can't count out the ability of groups who've possessed excellence to only recover a year later on. Hell, Collingwood is the very best instance. All of this is why our company are actually certainly not worrying about Melbourne's situation certainly not up until midway through upcoming year, anyway.This full week: Slot Adelaide at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm13. GOLD SHORELINES SUNLIGHT (9-11, 100.4%) Recently: Ranked 11th, lost to West Shore through 10 ptsTheir home-away split is absolutely incredible. Home ground advantage is actually expected to be worth an objective or two - not transform you coming from absolute rubbish in to a top-four opponent! We know our experts have actually been actually covering this all year however the account has coincided all year ... much like the story of 'kinda being in the combine with 5-6 rounds left behind and afterwards crumbling' has actually coincided for this whole nightclub for time after time. Obtain a brand-new gimmick!This week: Essendon at Wonder Arena, Saturday 7:30 pmBuckley policies themself out of Eagles project|01:1814. ADELAIDE CROWS (7-12-1, 99.8%) Last week: Rated 15th, shed to Geelong through 5 ptsThis full week: Western Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pm15. ST KILDA (8-12, 94.9%) Recently: Placed 14th, lost to Brisbane by 85 ptsThis full week: Richmond at Wonder Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, as our company stated recently, these groups never ever possess the exact same result in the same weekend break! Thus after Adelaide's loss on Saturday it is actually time to inspect the scores for the Saints' activity and-ah. Straight. Never mind. Wherefore it's worth the Crows probably weren't comparable to the scoreboard advised, acquiring bashed in the competition by a less-than-impressive Geelong midfield, so they were actually both below par. Let's find if either group may participate in looter over the last 3 full weeks - the Saints can destroy Carlton or Geelong's period, while the Crows could possibly harm the Pet dogs but even more notably would really love to wreck Port's.

WEST COAST BALD EAGLES (4-16, 70%) Recently: Placed 18th, def Gold Shoreline by 10 ptsThis full week: North Melbourne at Blundstone Field, Sunday 1:45 pm17. NORTH MELBOURNE (3-17, 67%) Last week: Ranked 17th, def Richmond by 16 ptsThis full week: West Coast Eagles at Blundstone Arena, Sunday 1:45 pm18. RICHMOND (2-18, 64.7%) Last week: Positioned 16th, shed to North Melbourne through 16 ptsThis full week: Street Kilda at Wonder Arena, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, the two-week Spoonbowl is probably over, with Richmond really deserving the get North - they succeeded the video game on anticipated rating, off the back of 60 inside 50s to 44 - however booting on their own into the No. 1 choice. (Which is probably advantageous long-lasting.) Though to become fair, it is actually achievable the Kangaroos have actually learnt goalkicking, offered they're No. 1 in the AFL for reliability this year. West Shoreline meanwhile was actually adequately excellent versus a staff playing for it time, along with a season-high pressure ranking as well as their third-best objected to belongings succeed for the year. Considering that Jarrad Schofield took control of the Eagles have actually gone coming from 17th in the AFL for pressure to eighth, which is a decent sign they are actually playing for him. Currently all eyes turn to North's effort to finish outside all-time low two for the first time this years - while it would still go down to portion, they will be in a good posture with a succeed in Hobart.
