BRISBANE LIONS (13-6-1, 125.1%) Recently: Ranked 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: Placed 2nd, def Melbourne through 51 ptsThis week: Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pmWith the Swans decreasing a high cliff, if our experts had to forecast a Grand Final right now, this will be it. It may not also be achievable - if the Bulldogs can not crack the best 4, they may be on an inevitable collision course in a prelim. However in a pair of video games that our team thought were actually possible fruit peels, both they and also Brisbane were actually dominant. The Canines' support is actually spectacular now even with all their workers problems, No. 2 for aspects permitted and No. 1 for factors permitted from turnovers over the last six full weeks, while the Lions have elevated during that team over that time frame too (as well as they extremely needed to). Given how properly Brisbane are going you really need to question, would they be actually the utterly dominant banner favourite at the moment if they hadn't copped many ACL injuries? To become in this particular placement provided those strikes is really remarkable, as well as the Bulldogs are actually as near to a serious flag challenger as they have actually been actually for a long times. What our team've discovered over the last handful of periods is that the AFL's efforts to bring competitive equilibrium indicate staffs can actually start mid-season and rise into the premiership nationality - our team need to quit ruling out talented checklists when they start slowly.Kingy lets loose on 'scary' Swans|03:523. SYDNEY SWANS (14-6, 126.1%) Last week: Ranked third, shed to Slot Adelaide by 112 ptsNo issue where you appear, Sunday evening was embarrassingly bad. There are a few comparables to THIS type of reduction for a resulting premier, however none of them were this poor. In reality no V/AFL premier has actually shed a game through greater than 100 factors that season, and also the largest reduction by a resulting premier in the AFL period was actually Port Adelaide receiving pumped through 92 aspects versus the Kangaroos in Sphere 8, 2004. The greater problem is that this isn't pretty much the last two weeks over the last 6 they are actually 17th for contended properties, 18th for groundball obtains, 18th for clearances, 17th for factors from turnover differential as well as 15th for tension score. A blowout reduction will definitely blow those statistics out at the same time yet they possess nothing like a premier's profile page considering that the beginning of July. Therefore why do our company still have all of them 3rd? Well you don't sit a thousand games very clear in addition to the step ladder for no main reason possibly the remainder of the AFL has found all of them out but our company still have some peace of mind the Swans may discover one thing near their absolute best. And also they should still complete top two, which prepares them up in addition to possible.This full week: Collingwood at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmLongmire counters at "self-centered" comments|01:004. SLOT ADELAIDE (13-7, 113.6%) Recently: Rated 9th, def Sydney by 112 ptsUnfortunately for the Electrical power, when you succeed an activity through THAT considerably, the account is actually regularly about the losing crew and exactly how the heck they were that negative. Thus let's give Port some was worthy of praise, given that they are actually genuinely looking like a top-four crew at this moment, as well as might be serious! Over the final six full weeks they are actually No. 2 in the AFL for factors racked up, No. 1 for factors versus, No. 3 for disputed belongings as well as No. 3 for open spaces - yes the magnitude of the Sydney gain tosses those statistics out a little, however they've clearly discovered some actual form. And also if they've shut the void between where they were, because 5th to 8th bracket, to the bottom end of the leading 4 they are actually truly in the prelim final nationality. Which would certainly be actually a pretty good end result given the basic ambiance of frustration this period possesses otherwise 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 have to be actually getting discouraging for Dockers supporters - their crew has dropped 4 games they led at three-quarter-time this year, pair of more than anybody else. And it would possess been actually a handy draw the Bombers as well, provided the Swans' loss previously on the weekend break. Regardless of them must face 3 staffs resting above them on the ladder over the final three full weeks our company're not also interested they definitely need to win their two continuing to be home activities, which would certainly be enough to participate in finals, and also also on thirteen and a half succeeds their outstanding amount would actually perform some great holding off Essendon. This isn't the Freo of the past - they're No. 1 for aspects scored over the last 6 weeks, as well as it is actually the first time given that 2013 they've been actually No. 1 in the comp over any sort of six-week period.This week: Geelong at Optus Stadium, Saturday 4:35 pmEmmett handed restriction for hazardous deal with|00:226. GWS GIANTS (13-7, 111.2%) Recently: Placed 8th, def Hawthorn by 2 ptsThey appeared no place near it with 3 quarters versus the Hawks, however at that point reminded every person of the value of super stars. Toby Greene is pretty really good, it ends up. Potential Coleman champion Jesse Hogan has actually been superb for 18 months. As well as even Brent Daniels, some of their additional underrated celebrities throughout their latest success, was actually a massive consider the comeback with a tremendous 12 last-quarter fingertips. Given the Lions' defensive absentees exists some chance Hogan and also the staff obtain the Brisbane back 6 and draw a serious upset on Saturday? They are actually gon na need to win another video game to play finals footy (and it might even be strict on 14 victories) so they may also acquire it done ASAP.This week: Brisbane Lions at the Gabba, Saturday 1:45 pmKingsley kindles healthy and balanced GWS settings|02:167. CARLTON (12-8, 112.1%) Recently: Ranked 5th, dropped to Collingwood by 3 ptsWe are actually mosting likely to always keep counting on cry till they compel our hand, because there is actually still a great deal going their way. Yes they have actually shed four of their last 5 video games, however 3 of those were actually just through a number of goals, and also final Sunday evening was literally determined by a kick. Maybe much more importantly they are actually still the No. 1 group in the AFL for points coming from turn over differential - the absolute most crucial racking up resource. An immense 19 of the final twenty crews to rate No. 1 during that stat have created an initial final or better. They are actually discriminatory, considering that they are actually 16th for points coming from spaces over the final 6 weeks, however you 'd rather be actually turnover-focused (as they are this year) than stoppage-focused (as they were actually in 2013). It would certainly join a catastrophe if this group missed out on the eight, given the requirements and where they were actually simply a month ago, but if they shed to the Hawks the option 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 how the Cats are each fairly well-placed in a strict finals ethnicity and offering us a lot less peace of mind in their high quality together. The margin possibly shouldn't have actually been rather that limited against Adelaide, however it was actually, and our company perhaps need to have to quit talking about Kardinia Park as a barrier - given they're 5-3 at home, two of those triumphes getting single digit scopes. But again, they're well-placed on 13 wins and along with West Coastline in the house to find in the final round. Squeeze a gain the Dockers or St Kilda prior to that, and they are actually effectively as well as really risk-free in the 8. There are actually still some explanations for assurance, like Patrick Dangerfield finding kind as well as the midfield executing very well total versus the Crows, plus the defence has actually risen well over the final six full weeks (No. 5 for points acknowledged). But despite the fact that the leading 4 is accessible, they don't seem like a top four team.This full week: Fremantle at Optus Arena, Sunday 4:35 pmRobbo discloses Tomahawks' highest qualities|03:489. HAWTHORN (11-9, 104.1%) Last week: Placed 7th, lost to GWS by 2 ptsSunday's video game is actually one of the most necessary for any one team we've viewed until now in 2024. That is actually given that Hawthorn's outcome against Carlton will properly determine their season. They've got an agape path to 14 triumphes with a victory, and also no staff has even overlooked the best eight with 13 victories prior to. However shed and they are actually probably heading to be actually two activities out of the 8 with two to play, a nearly unworkable posture. They are actually still performing a lot right however the complication we knew concerning coming into the period, their support, is striking at a hard time - over the final six full weeks they are actually No. 1 for within fifties versus, however 17th for ratings every inside 50 against. Therefore groups may not be ascertaining there a lot, however when they do, they are actually racking up at will. There is actually a little misery because but it is actually not all luck. As we've written before, even when the Hawks overlook the finals this season has been unbelievable, yet jeez it 'd be disheartening when they are actually thus close to among the greatest tales in years.This week: Carlton at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm10. ESSENDON (11-8-1, 95.9%) Recently: Ranked 12th, def Fremantle through 1 ptTurns out our team forgot just how crucial Darcy Parish is actually to this staff. After a peaceful 1st video game back he was actually huge against a star-studded Freo midfield. Along with him this time, the Bombing planes are actually +20 for spaces and also +18 from facility spaces without him they're -17 as well as +4 specifically. That draw Freo might obtain all of them right into the finals however there is actually additionally a genuine opportunity somebody skips with 14 success, especially if the Hawks trumped Carlton this weekend, and for the Bombing planes their draw as well as their inadequate portion possess the exact same result of creating all of them drop sudden deaths. It would certainly be quite brutal if they won 13 as well as an one-half video games and also lost out yet concurrently, this is what takes place when you lose to non-finalists Melbourne, Adelaide and Street Kilda - you join them.This week: Gold Coastline Suns at Marvel Arena, Saturday 7:30 pm' He's securing them coming from the pressure'|03:0311. COLLINGWOOD (10-8-2, 100.2%) Recently: Rated 13th, def Carlton through 2 ptsSo the concern is actually, are they back? They need to have to be near their greatest to create the eight hence - Melbourne will not be betting everything in Cycle 24 so you would certainly assume the Magpies gain that a person, however experiencing the best two over the next pair of full weeks is actually pretty hard. Possibly they have actually timed this clash with Sydney properly, yet our team are actually not certain Collingwood suffices to trump the ladder leaders, even in this particular weakened condition. It deserves taking note the Magpies are actually merely 16th for inside 50s over the final six weeks, however third for ratings every inside fifty, therefore performance is actually keeping all of them going. Their support has actually been actually nowhere near sufficient over that time frame so they are actually going to require to take their odds to stop the Swans, and if they do, after that the various other opponents will start to fret. No person would like to deal with a revitalized Magpies in September.This full week: Sydney Swans at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmMagpies seek finals spot versus swans|00:3012. MELBOURNE (10-10, 97.9%) Recently: Positioned 10th, dropped to Western Bulldogs through 51 ptsFor the first time this years the Demons will certainly head in to the AFL season's dead region, participating in out the chain with nothing at all on the line. In a way, being actually properly away from the finals ethnicity need to be freeing - they may play for 2025, trialling gamers in brand new positions and also sending out painful gamers in for very early surgical operations. Besides examine Geelong and also Fremantle, who switched quite unsatisfying 2023 seasons right into likely 2024 finals berths you can't pass over the ability of teams who've had success to simply recover a year eventually. Heck, Collingwood is the greatest instance. Every one of this is why our experts're not freaking out concerning Melbourne's situation not until midway by means of next year, anyway.This week: Slot Adelaide at the MCG, Sunday 7:30 pm13. GOLD COASTLINES SUNS (9-11, 100.4%) Last week: Positioned 11th, shed to West Coastline by 10 ptsTheir home-away crack is actually genuinely shocking. Home ground perk is intended to become worth a target or more - certainly not turn you from outright rubbish in to a top-four challenger! We know our company've been covering this all year however the account has actually coincided all year ... similar to the story of 'kinda remaining in the mix with 5-6 cycles left behind and then falling apart' has actually been the same for this entire nightclub for period after season. Obtain a brand new gimmick!This full week: Essendon at Marvel Coliseum, Saturday 7:30 pmBuckley policies themself out of Eagles job|01:1814. ADELAIDE CROWS (7-12-1, 99.8%) Last week: Ranked 15th, shed to Geelong through 5 ptsThis 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 Arena, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, as we stated recently, these groups never possess the very same cause the same weekend! So after Adelaide's reduction on Sunday it is actually opportunity to check ball games for the Saints' video game and-ah. Straight. Don't bother. Of what it's worth the Crows possibly weren't as good as the scoreboard suggested, getting bashed in the contest by a less-than-impressive Geelong midfield, so they were actually each wanting. Let's view if either staff can participate in spoiler over the last three weeks - the Saints might spoil Carlton or even Geelong's time, while the Crows can injure the Pets but even more notably would adore to destroy Slot's.

WEST SHORELINE BALD EAGLES (4-16, 70%) Recently: Ranked 18th, def Gold Coast by 10 ptsThis full week: North Melbourne at Blundstone Arena, Saturday 1:45 pm17. NORTH MELBOURNE (3-17, 67%) Recently: Ranked 17th, def Richmond by 16 ptsThis full week: West Coast Eagles at Blundstone Stadium, Sunday 1:45 pm18. RICHMOND (2-18, 64.7%) Last week: Ranked 16th, shed to North Melbourne through 16 ptsThis week: St Kilda at Wonder Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, the two-week Spoonbowl is possibly over, along with Richmond really deserving the get North - they succeeded the video game on assumed rating, off the back of 60 inside 50s to 44 - but kicking themselves in to the No. 1 selection. (Which is perhaps for the very best long-term.) Though to become reasonable, it is actually possible the Kangaroos have really learnt goalkicking, provided they are actually No. 1 in the AFL for precision this year. West Shoreline at the same time was appropriately exceptional versus a crew playing for it period, along with a season-high tension rating and their third-best contended ownerships win for the year. Given that Jarrad Schofield took over the Eagles have gone from 17th in the AFL for tension to eighth, which is actually a good indicator they are actually playing for him. Now all eyes turn to North's try to finish outside all-time low pair of for the very first time this years - while it would certainly still drop to percentage, they 'd remain in a really good setting with a succeed in Hobart.
