BRISBANE LIONS (13-6-1, 125.1%) Recently: Ranked 1st, def Street Kilda by 85 ptsThis full week: GWS Giants at the Gabba, Saturday 1:45 pm2. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (12-8, 122.4%) Last week: Positioned second, def Melbourne through 51 ptsThis week: Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pmWith the Swans falling off a cliff, if we had to predict a Grand Final right now, this will be it. It may certainly not even be actually achievable - if the Bulldogs can not break the top four, they can be on an unavoidable clash in a prelim. Yet in a pair of activities that our company believed were possible fruit peelings, both they and Brisbane were leading. The Pet dogs' protection is amazing at this moment despite all their personnel concerns, No. 2 for points allowed and No. 1 for points allowed from turnovers over the final 6 full weeks, while the Lions have actually elevated in that division over that time period too (as well as they badly needed to). Provided just how properly Brisbane are going you in fact have to ask yourself, would certainly they be actually the entirely leading banner favourite right now if they hadn't copped so many ACL injuries? To be in this position provided those blows is really outstanding, as well as the Bulldogs are actually as near to a severe banner opponent as they've been for many years. What our team've found out over the final handful of times is that the AFL's efforts to take competitive balance suggest staffs may actually get going mid-season as well as rise into the premiership ethnicity - our team have to stop ruling out gifted lists when they begin slowly.Kingy discharges on 'startling' Swans|03:523. SYDNEY SWANS (14-6, 126.1%) Last week: Ranked 3rd, shed to Port Adelaide by 112 ptsNo concern where you look, Saturday night was embarrassingly bad. There are a few comparables to THIS form of loss for an eventual premier, however none of them were this poor. As a matter of fact no V/AFL premier has actually dropped an activity by much more than one hundred aspects that season, and also the most significant reduction by an eventual premier in the AFL age was actually Slot Adelaide getting pushed through 92 aspects versus the Kangaroos in Around 8, 2004. The greater complication is actually that this isn't just about the last two full weeks over the last 6 they're 17th for contended possessions, 18th for groundball receives, 18th for clearances, 17th for aspects coming from turnover differential as well as 15th for tension ranking. A blowout loss will certainly blow those stats out at the same time however they have nothing like a premier's profile given that the start of July. So why perform our team still possess all of them 3rd? Well you don't sit a million games clear in addition to the step ladder for no cause maybe the remainder of the AFL has found all of them out yet our team still have some peace of mind the Swans can easily discover one thing close to their greatest. And they need to still end up leading two, which sets them up as well as possible.This week: Collingwood at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmLongmire counters at "selfish" reviews|01:004. SLOT ADELAIDE (13-7, 113.6%) Recently: Positioned 9th, def Sydney by 112 ptsUnfortunately for the Power, when you gain a video game by THAT a lot, the tale is actually consistently about the shedding group and also exactly how the heck they were that negative. Therefore let's give Port some deserved appreciation, because they are really resembling a top-four crew right now, and also may be serious! Over the final 6 weeks they are actually No. 2 in the AFL for factors scored, No. 1 for aspects against, No. 3 for objected to things and also No. 3 for clearances - yes the size of the Sydney win throws those stats out a bit, however they've clearly found some genuine type. And also if they've closed the void between where they were actually, because 5th to 8th bracket, down end of the top four they are actually truly in the prelim final ethnicity. Which would be a good end result provided the general vibe of aggravation this period possesses otherwise held.This week: Melbourne at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm5. FREMANTLE (12-7-1, 116.7%) Last week: Placed 4th, shed to Essendon through 1 ptIt must be getting frustrating for Dockers enthusiasts - their crew has shed four activities they led at three-quarter-time this year, 2 much more than anybody else. As well as it will possess been actually a useful sway the Bombers as well, given the Swans' loss previously on the weekend. Even with them having to experience 3 teams resting above them on the ladder over the ultimate three full weeks we're not also worried they definitely ought to gain their two staying home activities, which would be enough to participate in finals, as well as also on 13 and also a fifty percent succeeds their superb percent will in fact perform some excellent holding off Essendon. This isn't the Freo of the past - they are actually No. 1 for aspects racked up over the last 6 weeks, and also it is actually the very first time due to the fact that 2013 they have actually been No. 1 in the compensation over any type of six-week period.This week: Geelong at Optus Arena, Sunday 4:35 pmEmmett handed ban for harmful deal with|00:226. GWS GIANTS (13-7, 111.2%) Last week: Positioned 8th, def Hawthorn by 2 ptsThey appeared no place near it by means of 3 one-fourths against the Hawks, however then reminded everybody of the value of super stars. Toby Greene is rather good, it ends up. Possible Coleman victor Jesse Hogan has actually been superb for 18 months. As well as even Brent Daniels, some of their more underrated stars during the course of their latest excellence, was actually a large factor in the comeback along with a massive 12 last-quarter disposals. Offered the Lions' protective absentees is there some odds Hogan and the team find the Brisbane back six and also take a severe distress on Saturday? They're gon na need to win one more game to play finals footy (as well as it might even be actually limited on 14 victories) so they may also obtain it carried out ASAP.This week: Brisbane Lions at the Gabba, Sunday 1:45 pmKingsley sparks healthy GWS settings|02:167. CARLTON (12-8, 112.1%) Recently: Rated 5th, shed to Collingwood through 3 ptsWe're heading to always keep caring about the Blues up until they force our hand, due to the fact that there's still so much going their method. Yes they have actually dropped four of their final 5 games, however three of those were merely through a couple of goals, and last Sunday night was literally chosen through a kick. Probably even more significantly they are still the No. 1 crew in the AFL for points from turn over differential - the most significant scoring source. A tremendous 19 of the final twenty teams to rate No. 1 in that stat have actually created an initial ultimate or even much better. They are actually predisposed, since they are actually 16th for factors from open spaces over the last six weeks, however you 'd rather be actually turnover-focused (as they are this year) than stoppage-focused (as they were last year). It would be close to a calamity if this staff skipped the 8, provided the assumptions and where they were actually just a month ago, however if they lose to the Hawks the probability is live.This full week: Hawthorn at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm8. GEELONG (13-7, 108.9%) Recently: Rated 6th, def Adelaide through 5 ptsFunny exactly how the Kitties are each quite well-placed in a limited finals nationality and also offering our team a lot less assurance in their premium together. The scope most likely should not have been pretty that tight versus Adelaide, yet it was, as well as we perhaps require to cease speaking about Kardinia Park as a barrier - offered they're 5-3 at home, 2 of those success getting singular digit scopes. But once more, they are actually well-placed on 13 wins as well as along with West Shoreline in your home ahead in the last around. Squeeze a gain the Dockers or Street Kilda prior to that, and also they're well and also definitely safe in the eight. There are actually still some main reasons for peace of mind, like Patrick Dangerfield locating form as well as the midfield carrying out well overall against the Crows, plus the support has actually risen more than the last 6 full weeks (No. 5 for factors acknowledged). Yet although the best 4 is accessible, they don't believe that a top 4 team.This full week: Fremantle at Optus Stadium, Sunday 4:35 pmRobbo uncovers Tomahawks' best qualities|03:489. HAWTHORN (11-9, 104.1%) Last week: Ranked 7th, shed to GWS by 2 ptsSunday's game is actually the best important for any kind of one group our experts have actually observed thus far in 2024. That's since Hawthorn's result against Carlton are going to effectively choose their period. They have actually got a wide-open pathway to 14 triumphes along with a victory, and no crew has also missed the top 8 along with 13 triumphes before. However lose and also they're most likely visiting be pair of video games out of the eight along with pair of to play, a practically irreparable posture. They are still carrying out a lot right however the concern we understood about coming into the time, their support, is striking at a hard time - over the last six weeks they're No. 1 for within 50s against, however 17th for ratings per inside 50 against. Thus crews may not be ascertaining there much, but when they perform, they are actually racking up at will. There's a little bit of bad luck in that but it's certainly not all luck. As our company have actually composed before, even when the Hawks skip the finals this season has been actually awesome, however jeez it 'd be frustrating when they're therefore near among the very best accounts in years.This week: Carlton at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm10. ESSENDON (11-8-1, 95.9%) Last week: Ranked 12th, def Fremantle by 1 ptTurns out we overlooked just how essential Darcy Church is actually to this crew. After a silent initial game back he was tremendous against a star-studded Freo midfield. With him this season, the Bombing planes are actually +20 for allowances and +18 from facility clearances without him they're -17 and +4 respectively. That draw Freo could get all of them right into the finals however there's likewise a genuine opportunity somebody skips along with 14 victories, particularly if the Hawks trumped Carlton this weekend break, as well as for the Bombers their draw as well as their inadequate percentage have the same impact of producing them shed sudden deaths. It would be actually quite ruthless if they succeeded thirteen as well as a fifty percent activities and also missed out however concurrently, this is what occurs when you shed to non-finalists Melbourne, Adelaide as well as Street Kilda - you participate in them.This week: Gold Coastline Suns at Marvel Coliseum, Sunday 7:30 pm' He is actually securing them from the stress'|03:0311. COLLINGWOOD (10-8-2, 100.2%) Recently: Ranked 13th, def Carlton through 2 ptsSo the inquiry is actually, are they back? They require to become near their greatest to bring in the eight away - Melbourne won't be actually playing for everything in Round 24 so you would certainly assume the Magpies gain that a person, however encountering the leading 2 over the upcoming two full weeks is actually fairly tough. Maybe they've timed this clash with Sydney properly, however our team are actually not certain Collingwood suffices to defeat the step ladder innovators, even in this stressed state. It's worth noting the Magpies are actually simply 16th for inside 50s over the final six full weeks, yet 3rd for ratings every inside fifty, so performance is actually maintaining all of them going. Their defence has actually been actually no place near sufficient over that time period so they're heading to require to take their possibilities to quit the Swans, and also if they carry out, at that point the other opponents will definitely start to fret. No one intends to experience a brought back Magpies in September.This week: Sydney Swans at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmMagpies find finals find versus swans|00:3012. MELBOURNE (10-10, 97.9%) Recently: Placed 10th, lost to Western Bulldogs by 51 ptsFor the first time this many years the Demons will definitely move in to the AFL time's dead area, participating in out the string with absolutely nothing vulnerable. In such a way, being actually successfully out of the finals ethnicity must be freeing - they may bet 2025, trialling gamers in new postures and also delivering painful gamers in for early surgeries. After all look at Geelong and Fremantle, that turned incredibly unsatisfying 2023 times right into most likely 2024 finals berths you can't count out the potential of crews that've possessed effectiveness to just bounce back a year eventually. Hell, Collingwood is actually the best instance. Every one of this is why our company are actually certainly not running scared concerning Melbourne's scenario certainly not until midway through following year, anyway.This full week: Port Adelaide at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm13. GOLD COAST SUNLIGHT (9-11, 100.4%) Recently: Placed 11th, shed to West Coast through 10 ptsTheir home-away split is actually genuinely spectacular. Home ground conveniences is supposed to be worth a goal or two - certainly not transform you from outright rubbish in to a top-four challenger! We know our experts've been blogging about this all year however the tale has actually coincided all year ... just like the account of 'kinda remaining in the blend with 5-6 cycles left and after that breaking down' has actually coincided for this whole club for period after season. Get a new gimmick!This full week: Essendon at Wonder Coliseum, Saturday 7:30 pmBuckley regulations himself out of Eagles job|01:1814. ADELAIDE CROWS (7-12-1, 99.8%) Recently: Ranked 15th, lost to Geelong by 5 ptsThis full week: Western Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pm15. ST KILDA (8-12, 94.9%) Recently: Rated 14th, dropped to Brisbane by 85 ptsThis week: Richmond at Wonder Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, as we pointed out last week, these staffs certainly never possess the exact same lead to the exact same weekend! Therefore after Adelaide's loss on Sunday it is actually opportunity to inspect the scores for the Saints' game and-ah. Right. Never mind. For what it's worth the Crows perhaps weren't just as good as the scoreboard proposed, getting belted in the competition by a less-than-impressive Geelong midfield, so they were actually both below par. Allow's observe if either crew can easily play spoiler over the final 3 full weeks - the Saints can mess up Carlton or Geelong's period, while the Crows could possibly hurt the Dogs however additional notably will enjoy to wreck Slot's. Riewoldt covers Dusty's renowned occupation|04:1316. WEST SHORE BALD EAGLES (4-16, 70%) Last week: Placed 18th, def Gold Coast by 10 ptsThis full week: North Melbourne at Blundstone Stadium, Saturday 1:45 pm17. NORTH MELBOURNE (3-17, 67%) Recently: Placed 17th, def Richmond by 16 ptsThis full week: West Shoreline Eagles at Blundstone Field, Saturday 1:45 pm18. RICHMOND (2-18, 64.7%) Recently: Placed 16th, shed to North Melbourne by 16 ptsThis full week: St Kilda at Wonder Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, the two-week Spoonbowl is actually perhaps over, along with Richmond actually deserving the sway North - they gained the video game on assumed rating, off the back of 60 inside 50s to 44 - but kicking themselves in to the No. 1 choice. (Which is actually most likely for the very best long-term.) Though to become reasonable, it's achievable the Kangaroos have really learnt goalkicking, offered they're No. 1 in the AFL for accuracy this year. West Coast meanwhile was actually properly remarkable against a group having fun for it season, with a season-high pressure ranking and also their third-best objected to belongings win for the year. Considering that Jarrad Schofield consumed the Eagles have actually gone from 17th in the AFL for tension to eighth, which is actually a decent indicator they are actually playing for him. Currently all eyes count on North's effort to end up outside the bottom two for the first time this years - while it would still go down to amount, they would certainly reside in a great position along with a succeed in Hobart.
