BRISBANE LIONS (13-6-1, 125.1%) Last week: Positioned 1st, def St Kilda by 85 ptsThis week: GWS Giants at the Gabba, Saturday 1:45 pm2. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (12-8, 122.4%) Last week: Rated 2nd, def Melbourne through 51 ptsThis week: Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pmWith the Swans diminishing a cliff, if our team needed to forecast a Grand Final at this moment, this would certainly be it. It may not even be feasible - if the Bulldogs can not split the leading four, they might be on an inescapable conflict in a prelim. But in a set of games that our company presumed were possible fruit peelings, both they as well as Brisbane were prevalent. The Pet dogs' support is stunning at this moment regardless of all their staffs concerns, No. 2 for aspects permitted and No. 1 for aspects enabled from turnovers over the last six weeks, while the Lions have actually raised because division over that period at the same time (as well as they terribly needed to). Given how effectively Brisbane are actually going you really need to ponder, would they be the totally leading banner preferred today if they hadn't copped plenty of ACL personal injuries? To be in this posture given those blows is really outstanding, and also the Bulldogs are as near to a major flag competitor as they've been for many years. What our team've know over the final handful of seasons is actually that the AFL's attempts to bring affordable equilibrium imply teams can really get going mid-season and surge in to the premiership race - our experts need to quit dismissing talented listings when they begin slowly.Kingy discharges on 'startling' Swans|03:523. SYDNEY SWANS (14-6, 126.1%) Recently: Ranked third, lost to Slot Adelaide through 112 ptsNo issue where you appear, Sunday night was actually embarrassingly inadequate. There are a few comparables to THIS sort of reduction for a possible premier, however none of them were this bad. In reality no V/AFL premier has actually shed a game through greater than 100 aspects that time, as well as the biggest loss through a resulting premier in the AFL era was Port Adelaide receiving pumped by 92 points against the Kangaroos in Round 8, 2004. The bigger concern is that this isn't just about the final 2 full weeks over the last 6 they're 17th for opposed ownerships, 18th for groundball acquires, 18th for clearances, 17th for factors from turn over differential and 15th for stress ranking. A blowout reduction will definitely blow those stats out too but they have absolutely nothing like a premier's account considering that the beginning of July. Thus why perform our experts still possess them third? Well you don't rest a thousand games crystal clear on top of the ladder for no factor maybe the rest of the AFL has discovered all of them out however we still possess some self-confidence the Swans can locate something close to their best. And also they should still end up top 2, which prepares them up in addition to possible.This full week: Collingwood at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmLongmire counters at "self-indulgent" comments|01:004. PORT ADELAIDE (13-7, 113.6%) Recently: Placed 9th, def Sydney by 112 ptsUnfortunately for the Energy, when you succeed a video game through THAT a lot, the account is actually consistently regarding the dropping group and also how the hell they were actually that negative. Therefore let's offer Port some deserved appreciation, since they are truly appearing like a top-four group now, as well as might be severe! Over the last six full weeks they're No. 2 in the AFL for aspects scored, No. 1 for points against, No. 3 for contended possessions and also No. 3 for spaces - yes the size of the Sydney succeed throws those stats out a little bit, yet they've plainly found some actual kind. And also if they have actually closed the gap in between where they were actually, in that 5th to 8th brace, down end of the top four they're genuinely in the prelim ultimate nationality. Which would certainly be a pretty good result offered the overall vibe of stress this time possesses typically held.This full week: Melbourne at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm5. FREMANTLE (12-7-1, 116.7%) Last week: Rated fourth, lost to Essendon by 1 ptIt must be actually getting discouraging for Dockers fans - their crew has shed four video games they led at three-quarter-time this year, pair of more than any individual else. And also it would possess been a convenient get the Bombing planes as well, offered the Swans' loss previously on the weekend. Despite all of them must experience three crews sitting over all of them on the step ladder over the last 3 full weeks our company are actually certainly not also worried they really need to gain their pair of continuing to be home video games, which will be enough to participate in finals, as well as even on 13 and a half wins their excellent percent would really perform some excellent holding off Essendon. This isn't the Freo of the past - they're No. 1 for points racked up over the final six weeks, and it is actually the very first time given that 2013 they've been actually No. 1 in the over any type of six-week period.This week: Geelong at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 4:35 pmEmmett handed restriction for unsafe handle|00:226. GWS GIANTS (13-7, 111.2%) Last week: Positioned 8th, def Hawthorn through 2 ptsThey looked nowhere near it through three fourths against the Hawks, however at that point reminded everybody of the worth of super stars. Toby Greene is quite excellent, it turns out. Prospective Coleman victor Jesse Hogan has actually been wonderful for 18 months. As well as also Brent Daniels, one of their even more underrated celebrities in the course of their recent excellence, was a substantial factor in the comeback with an immense 12 last-quarter disposals. Given the Lions' protective absentees exists some possibility Hogan as well as the workers obtain the Brisbane back 6 and pull a significant upset on Sunday? They are actually gon na need to succeed another game to play finals footy (and it might even be actually limited on 14 success) so they may as well get it performed ASAP.This full week: Brisbane Lions at the Gabba, Saturday 1:45 pmKingsley ignites balanced GWS scenes|02:167. CARLTON (12-8, 112.1%) Last week: Ranked 5th, shed to Collingwood by 3 ptsWe are actually mosting likely to maintain counting on the Blues till they require our hand, considering that there's still a great deal going their method. Yes they've dropped 4 of their last 5 video games, yet three of those were merely by a number of goals, and final Saturday evening was actually literally determined by a kick. Perhaps a lot more significantly they are still the No. 1 staff in the AFL for factors coming from turnover differential - one of the most vital scoring resource. A whopping 19 of the last 20 crews to place No. 1 because stat have actually made an initial last or even much better. They're one-sided, considering that they are actually 16th for aspects coming from open spaces over the final 6 full weeks, but you prefer to be actually turnover-focused (as they are this year) than stoppage-focused (as they were in 2014). It would join a disaster if this group skipped the 8, offered the requirements as well as where they were merely 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%) Recently: Rated 6th, def Adelaide by 5 ptsFunny exactly how the Cats are actually each quite well-placed in a tight finals nationality and providing our company a lot less assurance in their top quality simultaneously. The frame probably should not have actually been actually pretty that tight versus Adelaide, but it was actually, and also we possibly need to have to quit referring to Kardinia Park as a barrier - offered they're 5-3 in the house, 2 of those triumphes getting singular finger frames. But once more, they're well-placed on thirteen wins as well as with West Coastline in your home to follow in the ultimate around. Squeeze a draw the Dockers or Street Kilda prior to that, and they are actually effectively as well as really risk-free in the eight. There are actually still some explanations for assurance, like Patrick Dangerfield discovering form and also the midfield performing effectively overall versus the Crows, plus the protection has actually stood well over the last six weeks (No. 5 for points acknowledged). However even though the best 4 is available, they do not feel like a top 4 team.This week: Fremantle at Optus Stadium, Sunday 4:35 pmRobbo reveals Tomahawks' highest qualities|03:489. HAWTHORN (11-9, 104.1%) Recently: Placed 7th, lost to GWS by 2 ptsSunday's game is the absolute most necessary for any one crew our experts've found up until now in 2024. That is actually since Hawthorn's end result against Carlton will successfully decide their period. They've obtained a wide-open path to 14 victories along with a success, and also no group has actually also overlooked the best 8 along with thirteen triumphes before. However drop as well as they are actually most likely visiting be actually 2 games out of the eight along with 2 to play, a practically impossible placement. They are actually still performing a whole lot right yet the trouble we knew about coming into the period, their defence, stands out at a bad time - over the final six full weeks they're No. 1 for within fifties versus, however 17th for ratings every inside fifty against. Therefore groups may not be getting it down certainly there much, but when they do, they're racking up at last will and testament. There is actually a little misfortune during that but it's not all good luck. As we have actually written previously, regardless of whether the Hawks overlook the finals this season has actually been incredible, however jeez it will be discouraging when they're thus close to one of the most effective tales in years.This week: Carlton at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm10. ESSENDON (11-8-1, 95.9%) Recently: Placed 12th, def Fremantle through 1 ptTurns out our experts overlooked just how important Darcy Parish is actually to this group. After a peaceful first game back he was tremendous against a star-studded Freo midfield. Along with him this time, the Bombers are +20 for spaces and also +18 coming from facility allowances without him they're -17 and also +4 respectively. That get Freo might receive them into the finals yet there's also a genuine opportunity a person overlooks along with 14 wins, especially if the Hawks defeated Carlton this weekend break, as well as for the Bombing planes their draw as well as their bad percent have the same result of making all of them drop tiebreakers. It would certainly be actually quite harsh if they gained thirteen and also a half activities and also missed out yet at the same time, this is what occurs when you drop to non-finalists Melbourne, Adelaide and also St Kilda - you join them.This full week: Gold Coast Suns at Wonder Coliseum, Sunday 7:30 pm' He is actually protecting all of them from the pressure'|03:0311. COLLINGWOOD (10-8-2, 100.2%) Last week: Ranked 13th, def Carlton through 2 ptsSo the inquiry is, are they back? They require to be near their ideal to bring in the eight hence - Melbourne won't be playing for just about anything in Round 24 so you would certainly believe the Magpies win that, but facing the leading 2 over the upcoming 2 full weeks is actually rather tough. Probably they have actually timed this encounter Sydney effectively, however our team are actually certainly not certain Collingwood is good enough to trump the ladder forerunners, also in this damaged condition. It deserves taking note the Magpies are just 16th for inside 50s over the final six weeks, yet third for ratings per inside fifty, therefore effectiveness is actually maintaining them going. Their protection has been nowhere near sufficient over that period so they are actually mosting likely to require to take their opportunities to stop the Swans, and also if they do, after that the other opponents will certainly begin to stress. Nobody desires to experience a rejuvenated Magpies in September.This week: Sydney Swans at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmMagpies look for finals find versus swans|00:3012. MELBOURNE (10-10, 97.9%) Last week: Positioned 10th, dropped to Western Bulldogs by 51 ptsFor the first time this decade the Demons will head in to the AFL time's dead zone, playing out the string with nothing at all on the line. In a manner, being actually successfully out of the finals ethnicity must be actually releasing - they may bet 2025, trialling players in brand new postures and also sending out painful players in for early surgical treatments. Besides consider Geelong and also Fremantle, who switched very disappointing 2023 times into probably 2024 finals berths you can not suspend the ability of staffs who've had excellence to only recover a year eventually. Hell, Collingwood is the best instance. Each one of this is why our experts are actually not panicking concerning Melbourne's condition certainly not up until midway with following year, anyway.This week: Slot Adelaide at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm13. GOLD COAST SUNSHINES (9-11, 100.4%) Last week: Placed 11th, dropped to West Shoreline through 10 ptsTheir home-away crack is really spectacular. Home ground advantage is actually meant to be worth a goal or more - not switch you coming from outright rubbish into a top-four challenger! We understand our team have actually been actually writing about this all year but the tale has coincided all year ... much like the tale of 'kinda residing in the blend with 5-6 cycles left and then collapsing' has actually been the same for this whole club for time after time. Acquire a brand new gimmick!This week: Essendon at Wonder Arena, Sunday 7:30 pmBuckley rules themself out of Eagles work|01:1814. ADELAIDE CROWS (7-12-1, 99.8%) Recently: Ranked 15th, dropped to Geelong through 5 ptsThis full week: Western Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pm15. ST KILDA (8-12, 94.9%) Last week: Rated 14th, shed to Brisbane through 85 ptsThis full week: Richmond at Marvel Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, as our experts stated last week, these crews never possess the very same cause the very same weekend! Therefore after Adelaide's loss on Sunday it is actually opportunity to check out ball games for the Saints' video game and-ah. Right. Never mind. Wherefore it costs the Crows possibly weren't as good as the scoreboard recommended, getting bashed in the competition by a less-than-impressive Geelong midfield, so they were both wanting. Let's see if either crew may play looter over the last 3 full weeks - the Saints could destroy Carlton or Geelong's period, while the Crows could injure the Pets however even more notably would really love to spoil Port's. Riewoldt goes over Dusty's well known job|04:1316. WEST COAST BALD EAGLES (4-16, 70%) Last week: Rated 18th, def Gold Coastline by 10 ptsThis full week: North Melbourne at Blundstone Arena, Sunday 1:45 pm17. NORTH MELBOURNE (3-17, 67%) Last week: Rated 17th, def Richmond through 16 ptsThis week: West Shoreline Eagles at Blundstone Stadium, Saturday 1:45 pm18. RICHMOND (2-18, 64.7%) Recently: Placed 16th, shed to North Melbourne by 16 ptsThis week: Street Kilda at Wonder Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, the two-week Spoonbowl is possibly over, along with Richmond really deserving the draw North - they won the activity on expected score, off the back of 60 inside 50s to 44 - but kicking on their own right into the No. 1 choice. (Which is actually probably for the greatest lasting.) Though to become fair, it is actually possible the Kangaroos have really mastered goalkicking, provided they are actually No. 1 in the AFL for precision this year. West Shore in the meantime was adequately remarkable versus a group playing for it period, with a season-high pressure score and their third-best contested possessions succeed for the year. Because Jarrad Schofield took over the Eagles have gone coming from 17th in the AFL for stress to eighth, which is actually a pretty good indication they're betting him. Now all eyes rely on North's try to complete outside the bottom two for the first time this decade - while it would still decrease to amount, they would certainly reside in a really good posture along with a succeed in Hobart.
