BRISBANE COUGARS (13-6-1, 125.1%) Recently: Ranked 1st, def Street Kilda by 85 ptsThis week: GWS Giants at the Gabba, Sunday 1:45 pm2. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (12-8, 122.4%) Recently: Placed 2nd, def Melbourne through 51 ptsThis full week: Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pmWith the Swans falling off a high cliff, if our experts must predict a Grand Final at this moment, this would certainly be it. It might certainly not even be possible - if the Bulldogs can't crack the top 4, they may be on an unavoidable clash in a prelim. However in a set of games that we presumed were possible fruit peels, both they and Brisbane were prevalent. The Dogs' defence is magnificent right now even with all their employees concerns, No. 2 for points made it possible for and No. 1 for aspects enabled coming from turnovers over the last 6 weeks, while the Lions have raised because department over that duration as well (as well as they extremely needed to). Provided how properly Brisbane are going you actually must wonder, would certainly they be actually the completely leading banner favorite at the moment if they had not copped numerous ACL personal injuries? To be within this position provided those impacts is actually very impressive, as well as the Bulldogs are as near a major flag opponent as they have actually been for several years. What we've know over the final couple of times is that the AFL's initiatives to take reasonable harmony imply teams may really get going mid-season and rise right into the premiership ethnicity - our team have to stop eliminating proficient listings when they start slowly.Kingy unleashes on 'startling' Swans|03:523. SYDNEY SWANS (14-6, 126.1%) Recently: Positioned 3rd, lost to Port Adelaide by 112 ptsNo issue where you appear, Sunday evening was embarrassingly bad. There are actually just a couple of comparables to THIS form of reduction for a possible premier, but none of them were this bad. In reality no V/AFL premier has actually dropped a game by much more than one hundred aspects that season, and also the largest loss by a possible premier in the AFL period was actually Port Adelaide receiving pushed by 92 factors against the Kangaroos in Round 8, 2004. The much bigger complication is actually that this isn't almost the last two weeks over the final 6 they are actually 17th for opposed ownerships, 18th for groundball acquires, 18th for authorizations, 17th for points coming from turn over differential and 15th for stress rating. A blowout reduction will certainly blow those statistics out as well yet they possess nothing at all like a premier's profile because the start of July. Therefore why perform our team still have all of them 3rd? Well you don't sit a thousand video games very clear atop the step ladder for no main reason maybe the remainder of the AFL has actually located all of them out but our experts still have some peace of mind the Swans may discover something near their ideal. As well as they ought to still finish best two, which prepares all of them up along with possible.This full week: Collingwood at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmLongmire counters at "self-seeking" reviews|01:004. PORT ADELAIDE (13-7, 113.6%) Recently: Positioned 9th, def Sydney through 112 ptsUnfortunately for the Energy, when you gain a video game through THAT considerably, the account is actually consistently about the dropping team and just how the hell they were actually that poor. Thus allow's give Port some deserved appreciation, since they are actually absolutely looking like a top-four staff at the moment, and may be significant! Over the final 6 full weeks they're No. 2 in the AFL for aspects scored, No. 1 for factors versus, No. 3 for opposed ownerships and No. 3 for clearances - yes the magnitude of the Sydney win throws those statistics out a little bit, yet they have actually precisely found some true type. As well as if they have actually shut the space in between where they were, during that 5th to 8th brace, to the bottom end of the leading 4 they're genuinely in the prelim ultimate race. Which will be actually a pretty good end result provided the basic atmosphere of stress this season possesses or else held.This week: Melbourne at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm5. FREMANTLE (12-7-1, 116.7%) Last week: Ranked fourth, lost to Essendon through 1 ptIt should be actually getting discouraging for Dockers supporters - their staff has actually shed 4 activities they led at three-quarter-time this year, 2 much more than any individual else. As well as it would certainly possess been actually a helpful gain the Bombers too, provided the Swans' loss previously on the weekend break. In spite of them must deal with 3 crews resting above them on the step ladder over the ultimate 3 full weeks we're not also interested they actually should succeed their pair of staying home games, which would be enough to play finals, and also also on 13 as well as a half wins their superb amount would in fact carry out some great holding off Essendon. This isn't the Freo of recent - they are actually No. 1 for factors scored over the final 6 full weeks, and also it's the first time given that 2013 they've been actually No. 1 in the compensation over any six-week period.This full week: Geelong at Optus Arena, Saturday 4:35 pmEmmett handed ban for risky deal with|00:226. GWS GIANTS (13-7, 111.2%) Last week: Rated 8th, def Hawthorn by 2 ptsThey appeared no place near it with three one-fourths versus the Hawks, however then helped remind everyone of the market value of super stars. Toby Greene is fairly excellent, it ends up. Prospective Coleman champion Jesse Hogan has actually been awesome for 18 months. And also even Brent Daniels, among their even more underrated superstars during their latest success, was actually a massive factor in the comeback along with an immense 12 last-quarter fingertips. Provided the Lions' protective absentees exists some possibility Hogan and the crew get a hold of the Brisbane back 6 as well as pull a severe upset on Sunday? They're gon na require to win another game to participate in finals footy (and it could even be actually limited on 14 triumphes) so they may too receive it carried out ASAP.This week: Brisbane Lions at the Gabba, Sunday 1:45 pmKingsley sparks healthy GWS scenes|02:167. CARLTON (12-8, 112.1%) Recently: Ranked 5th, lost to Collingwood through 3 ptsWe're going to maintain relying on cry till they oblige our hand, because there's still so much going their method. Yes they have actually shed four of their last 5 games, but three of those were just by a couple of targets, and last Sunday evening was essentially decided through a zing. Possibly extra notably they are actually still the No. 1 team in the AFL for factors coming from turnover differential - the best essential scoring source. An immense 19 of the final twenty groups to rank No. 1 in that stat have actually created a preparatory ultimate or even better. They're discriminatory, because they are actually 16th for points coming from clearances over the final six full weeks, yet you 'd rather be actually turnover-focused (as they are this year) than stoppage-focused (as they were actually in 2013). It would be close to a disaster if this group skipped the 8, provided the desires as well as where they were actually simply a month earlier, but if they lose to the Hawks the probability is actually live.This full week: Hawthorn at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm8. GEELONG (13-7, 108.9%) Recently: Ranked 6th, def Adelaide by 5 ptsFunny how the Kitties are actually each fairly well-placed in a tight finals nationality and providing us much less self-confidence in their quality simultaneously. The scope possibly shouldn't have actually been very that tight against Adelaide, yet it was actually, and also our company possibly require to cease talking about Kardinia Park as a fortress - given they're 5-3 in the house, two of those wins coming by solitary digit scopes. However once again, they're well-placed on thirteen wins as well as with West Shoreline in the home to come in the ultimate sphere. Pinch a get the Dockers or even Street Kilda just before that, and also they are actually well and also truly risk-free in the eight. There are actually still some causes for assurance, like Patrick Dangerfield discovering kind and the midfield conducting well total versus the Crows, plus the support has stood up more than the last 6 full weeks (No. 5 for points yielded). However even though the leading 4 is actually available, they don't feel like a best 4 team.This full week: Fremantle at Optus Stadium, Saturday 4:35 pmRobbo shows Tomahawks' highest qualities|03:489. HAWTHORN (11-9, 104.1%) Recently: Positioned 7th, shed to GWS through 2 ptsSunday's activity is actually the most significant for any one team we have actually viewed until now in 2024. That's due to the fact that Hawthorn's result against Carlton will efficiently determine their season. They've acquired a wide-open path to 14 success along with a victory, and no group has actually even missed out on the best eight with thirteen victories just before. But lose and they're possibly visiting be actually pair of video games away from the eight along with pair of to play, a practically unrecoverable setting. They are actually still doing a lot right however the problem we knew concerning coming into the time, their support, stands out at a hard time - over the final six full weeks they are actually No. 1 for inside fifties against, yet 17th for credit ratings every inside 50 against. Therefore teams may not be ascertaining certainly there a lot, yet when they carry out, they're racking up at will. There's a little tragedy in that however it is actually certainly not all good luck. As our company have actually composed previously, even when the Hawks miss the finals this period has been unbelievable, but jeez it would certainly be actually irritating when they are actually thus near one of the best tales 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 by 1 ptTurns out our company failed to remember how necessary Darcy Parish is actually to this crew. After a peaceful 1st game back he was astounding versus a star-studded Freo midfield. With him this season, the Bombers are actually +20 for spaces as well as +18 from facility open spaces without him they're -17 as well as +4 specifically. That get Freo could possibly receive all of them in to the finals however there's also a legitimate possibility an individual misses out on with 14 triumphes, especially if the Hawks defeated Carlton this weekend, and for the Bombers their draw and their inadequate amount have the very same impact of creating all of them shed sudden deaths. It would be actually fairly harsh if they won thirteen as well as a fifty percent activities and also missed out however together, this is what occurs when you drop to non-finalists Melbourne, Adelaide and Street Kilda - you participate in them.This week: Gold Coast Suns at Marvel Arena, Saturday 7:30 pm' He is actually shielding all of them coming from the stress'|03:0311. COLLINGWOOD (10-8-2, 100.2%) Recently: Positioned 13th, def Carlton through 2 ptsSo the question is actually, are they back? They need to be near their ideal to create the 8 from here - Melbourne will not be actually betting anything in Round 24 so you would certainly believe the Magpies succeed that one, but encountering the leading two over the following two weeks is fairly challenging. Perhaps they've timed this encounter Sydney effectively, however our experts are actually certainly not certain Collingwood is good enough to trump the step ladder leaders, also within this weakened state. It deserves taking note the Magpies are actually only 16th for inside 50s over the final six full weeks, but 3rd for credit ratings per inside fifty, so performance is actually keeping all of them going. Their defence has actually been actually no place near satisfactory over that period so they're mosting likely to require to take their opportunities to stop the Swans, and also if they do, at that point the other contenders will certainly start to worry. No person intends to deal with a restored Magpies in September.This full week: Sydney Swans at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmMagpies seek finals find against swans|00:3012. MELBOURNE (10-10, 97.9%) Recently: Ranked 10th, lost to Western Bulldogs by 51 ptsFor the very first time this decade the Demons will certainly head right into the AFL time's dead area, playing out the string with nothing at all vulnerable. In a way, being actually successfully away from the finals ethnicity should be actually freeing - they can play for 2025, trialling gamers in brand new positions and also sending out sore gamers in for early surgeries. After all take a look at Geelong and Fremantle, who transformed extremely unsatisfactory 2023 times in to most likely 2024 finals berths you can not pass over the potential of teams that've possessed effectiveness to just rebound a year later on. Heck, Collingwood is actually the best instance. Every one of this is why we are actually certainly not panicking regarding Melbourne's scenario certainly not up until midway by means of upcoming year, anyway.This week: Slot Adelaide at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm13. GOLD SHORES SUNSHINES (9-11, 100.4%) Last week: Placed 11th, shed to West Shore through 10 ptsTheir home-away split is genuinely shocking. Home ground benefit is supposed to be worth an objective or more - certainly not turn you coming from absolute rubbish right into a top-four opponent! We understand we have actually been actually covering this all year however the story has been the same all year ... much like the tale of 'kinda residing in the combine with 5-6 cycles left behind and after that collapsing' has actually been the same for this whole nightclub for season after season. Obtain a new gimmick!This week: Essendon at Wonder Stadium, Sunday 7:30 pmBuckley policies themself out of Eagles job|01:1814. ADELAIDE CROWS (7-12-1, 99.8%) Recently: Placed 15th, lost 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, dropped to Brisbane by 85 ptsThis full week: Richmond at Wonder Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, as our company claimed recently, these groups never have the same result in the very same weekend break! Therefore after Adelaide's reduction on Sunday it's time to check ball games for the Saints' video game and-ah. Right. Don't bother. For what it costs the Crows probably weren't as good as the scoreboard proposed, acquiring bashed in the competition through a less-than-impressive Geelong midfield, so they were both below par. Let's find if either team can easily play looter over the last three weeks - the Saints can ruin Carlton or even Geelong's period, while the Crows could harm the Canines yet more notably will love to spoil Slot's.

WEST COASTLINE EAGLES (4-16, 70%) Recently: Ranked 18th, def Gold Coastline by 10 ptsThis full week: North Melbourne at Blundstone Arena, Saturday 1:45 pm17. NORTH MELBOURNE (3-17, 67%) Recently: Positioned 17th, def Richmond by 16 ptsThis full week: West Shoreline Eagles at Blundstone Stadium, Sunday 1:45 pm18. RICHMOND (2-18, 64.7%) Last week: Placed 16th, shed to North Melbourne by 16 ptsThis week: St Kilda at Wonder Arena, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, the two-week Spoonbowl is actually probably over, with Richmond actually deserving the get North - they won the activity on assumed score, off the rear of 60 inside 50s to 44 - but booting themselves in to the No. 1 selection. (Which is actually possibly for the greatest lasting.) Though to be fair, it's achievable the Kangaroos have really grasped goalkicking, offered they're No. 1 in the AFL for reliability this year. West Coast on the other hand was actually adequately exceptional against a team having fun for it season, with a season-high pressure score as well as their third-best disputed possessions win for the year. Considering that Jarrad Schofield managed the Eagles have gone from 17th in the AFL for stress to eighth, which is a pretty good sign they're betting him. Now all eyes count on North's try to complete outside all-time low pair of for the very first time this years - while it would certainly still drop to amount, they will reside in a great placement with a win in Hobart.
