BRISBANE LIONS (13-6-1, 125.1%) Recently: Positioned 1st, def Street Kilda by 85 ptsThis week: GWS Giants at the Gabba, Sunday 1:45 pm2. WESTERN BULLDOGS (12-8, 122.4%) Recently: Positioned 2nd, def Melbourne by 51 ptsThis week: Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pmWith the Swans falling off a high cliff, if our company must anticipate a Grand Final right now, this will be it. It may certainly not also be actually possible - if the Bulldogs can't fracture the leading four, they might be on an inevitable collision course in a prelim. But in a set of video games that our team believed were possible fruit peels, both they and also Brisbane were leading. The Dogs' protection is incredible at the moment despite all their workers problems, No. 2 for points enabled and No. 1 for points made it possible for coming from turnovers over the last 6 weeks, while the Lions have lifted in that department over that time frame at the same time (and they severely needed to have to). Given exactly how effectively Brisbane are going you actually have to ask yourself, will they be the utterly prevalent flag much-loved immediately if they had not copped plenty of ACL accidents? To become in this posture given those blows is actually incredibly outstanding, and also the Bulldogs are as near to a serious flag challenger as they have actually been actually for several years. What our team have actually found out over the final few periods is that the AFL's initiatives to bring competitive equilibrium indicate groups can really start mid-season and also surge in to the premiership race - our team must cease ruling out gifted checklists when they begin slowly.Kingy lets loose on 'disconcerting' Swans|03:523. SYDNEY SWANS (14-6, 126.1%) Recently: Ranked 3rd, shed to Slot Adelaide by 112 ptsNo matter where you appear, Sunday night was embarrassingly bad. There are a few comparables to THIS type of loss for a possible premier, but none were this bad. In reality no V/AFL premier has shed a game by much more than 100 factors that season, and also the largest reduction through a resulting premier in the AFL era was actually Slot Adelaide receiving pumped through 92 aspects versus the Kangaroos in Around 8, 2004. The larger concern is actually that this isn't nearly the final two weeks over the final six they're 17th for contested belongings, 18th for groundball obtains, 18th for authorizations, 17th for points from turn over differential and 15th for pressure score. A blowout loss will blow those statistics out also but they have nothing like a premier's profile page considering that the begin of July. Thus why do our company still possess all of them 3rd? Well you don't rest a million activities crystal clear atop the ladder for no cause maybe the rest of the AFL has found them out however our team still have some self-confidence the Swans can find something close to their absolute best. And they should still end up best two, which establishes them up along with possible.This week: Collingwood at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmLongmire hits back at "egocentric" comments|01:004. SLOT ADELAIDE (13-7, 113.6%) Last week: Rated 9th, def Sydney by 112 ptsUnfortunately for the Power, when you win a game by THAT much, the account is actually consistently about the dropping crew and exactly how the hell they were that poor. Therefore permit's provide Port some was entitled to approval, due to the fact that they are actually genuinely looking like a top-four staff at this moment, as well as might be major! Over the final six weeks they are actually No. 2 in the AFL for aspects scored, No. 1 for points versus, No. 3 for contested possessions and also No. 3 for spaces - yes the magnitude of the Sydney win tosses those statistics out a little, however they have actually plainly discovered some actual form. And also if they've closed the gap between where they were, during that 5th to 8th bracket, to the bottom end of the best 4 they are actually truly in the prelim final ethnicity. Which would be actually a decent end result given the overall atmosphere of frustration this season has otherwise held.This week: Melbourne at the MCG, Sunday 7:30 pm5. FREMANTLE (12-7-1, 116.7%) Last week: Placed fourth, shed to Essendon through 1 ptIt must be actually getting frustrating for Dockers fans - their team has actually dropped four video games they led at three-quarter-time this year, two much more than anyone else. And also it would certainly possess been a convenient win over the Bombers too, offered the Swans' loss previously on the weekend. In spite of all of them having to experience three groups sitting above all of them on the ladder over the final three full weeks we are actually certainly not too worried they definitely must succeed their two continuing to be home video games, which would certainly suffice to play finals, and also on 13 and also a fifty percent succeeds their great portion would really carry out some really good holding off Essendon. This isn't the Freo of recent - they are actually No. 1 for factors scored over the last six full weeks, and also it's the first time considering that 2013 they have actually been No. 1 in the comp over any six-week period.This full week: Geelong at Optus Coliseum, Saturday 4:35 pmEmmett handed ban for dangerous tackle|00:226. GWS GIANTS (13-7, 111.2%) Recently: Rated 8th, def Hawthorn through 2 ptsThey looked no place near it with three one-fourths versus the Hawks, but at that point reminded everyone of the worth of super stars. Toby Greene is actually pretty good, it turns out. Prospective Coleman champion Jesse Hogan has actually been actually fantastic for 18 months. As well as even Brent Daniels, one of their even more underrated superstars during their current results, was a significant think about the comeback along with a monstrous 12 last-quarter fingertips. Given the Lions' defensive absentees is there some odds Hogan as well as the staff obtain the Brisbane back six and also pull a major distress on Sunday? They are actually gon na need to win one more activity to participate in finals footy (as well as it may even be actually tight on 14 triumphes) so they may too acquire it performed ASAP.This week: Brisbane Lions at the Gabba, Saturday 1:45 pmKingsley ignites wholesome GWS settings|02:167. CARLTON (12-8, 112.1%) Recently: Placed 5th, lost to Collingwood through 3 ptsWe are actually visiting maintain relying on the Blues till they oblige our palm, since there's still a lot going their technique. Yes they've dropped 4 of their final 5 activities, but 3 of those were actually just through a number of objectives, and final Sunday night was practically chosen through a kick. Probably even more essentially they are actually still the No. 1 staff in the AFL for aspects from turn over differential - the absolute most important racking up source. A whopping 19 of the last 20 crews to position No. 1 during that stat have actually made an initial final or much better. They are actually predisposed, considering that they are actually 16th for factors from clearances over the final 6 weeks, however you prefer to be actually turnover-focused (as they are this year) than stoppage-focused (as they were in 2014). It would be close to a calamity if this group skipped the eight, offered the expectations and where they were actually only a month back, yet if they lose to the Hawks the opportunity is actually live.This week: Hawthorn at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm8. GEELONG (13-7, 108.9%) Last week: Positioned 6th, def Adelaide through 5 ptsFunny just how the Pet cats are actually each rather well-placed in a limited finals ethnicity as well as providing us a lot less self-confidence in their top quality simultaneously. The scope most likely shouldn't have actually been actually very that limited against Adelaide, however it was, and also our experts most likely need to quit speaking about Kardinia Playground as a barrier - provided they are actually 5-3 at home, 2 of those success getting solitary finger margins. But again, they're well-placed on thirteen success and along with West Shore at home ahead in the last around. Pinch a win over the Dockers or Street Kilda prior to that, and also they are actually properly and definitely risk-free in the 8. There are actually still some main reasons for peace of mind, like Patrick Dangerfield finding kind as well as the midfield conducting quite possibly overall against the Crows, plus the protection has actually stood up well over the final six weeks (No. 5 for points conceded). Yet even though the best 4 is accessible, they do not feel like a leading 4 team.This week: Fremantle at Optus Coliseum, Saturday 4:35 pmRobbo exposes Tomahawks' highests|03:489. HAWTHORN (11-9, 104.1%) Recently: Positioned 7th, lost to GWS by 2 ptsSunday's video game is the absolute most vital for any type of one staff we've seen until now in 2024. That is actually because Hawthorn's result against Carlton are going to successfully choose their time. They've got a wide-open road to 14 triumphes with a triumph, as well as no team has even overlooked the leading 8 with thirteen victories prior to. Yet shed and they are actually perhaps going to be pair of video games out of the 8 with 2 to participate in, a practically irreparable position. They are actually still carrying out a great deal right but the problem we knew regarding coming into the period, their support, stands out at a bad time - over the final 6 full weeks they are actually No. 1 for interior 50s versus, however 17th for scores per inside fifty against. Thus groups aren't getting it down there certainly a lot, however when they perform, they are actually scoring at will. There is actually a little bit of tragedy because yet it's not all fortune. As our team've composed previously, even if the Hawks skip the finals this season has been actually amazing, yet jeez it would certainly be disheartening when they're so near to some of the best accounts in years.This full week: Carlton at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm10. ESSENDON (11-8-1, 95.9%) Recently: Placed 12th, def Fremantle by 1 ptTurns out our company failed to remember just how necessary Darcy Church is actually to this staff. After a silent very first activity back he was huge against a star-studded Freo midfield. With him this time, the Bombers are actually +20 for clearances and +18 coming from facility allowances without him they are actually -17 as well as +4 respectively. That gain Freo can acquire all of them into the finals yet there's likewise a legitimate possibility a person skips along with 14 victories, especially if the Hawks beat Carlton this weekend, and also for the Bombing planes their draw as well as their bad amount possess the very same result of making them shed tiebreakers. It would certainly be pretty brutal if they gained thirteen as well as an one-half activities and also lost out however all at once, this is what takes place when you drop to non-finalists Melbourne, Adelaide and also St Kilda - you sign up with them.This week: Gold Shore Suns at Marvel Coliseum, Saturday 7:30 pm' He is actually covering them from the tension'|03:0311. COLLINGWOOD (10-8-2, 100.2%) Recently: Positioned 13th, def Carlton through 2 ptsSo the question is, are they back? They need to have to be near their absolute best to make the eight hence - Melbourne won't be playing for everything in Cycle 24 so you will assume the Magpies win that, however dealing with the top two over the upcoming 2 full weeks is quite difficult. Probably they have actually timed this clash with Sydney effectively, yet our company are actually not confident Collingwood suffices to defeat the step ladder innovators, also in this weakened state. It costs noting the Magpies are actually merely 16th for inside 50s over the last six weeks, yet 3rd for ratings per inside 50, therefore productivity is actually keeping all of them going. Their defence has actually been actually no place near good enough over that period so they are actually going to require to take their chances to stop the Swans, and also if they carry out, then the various other competitors will begin to stress. No one intends to encounter a restored Magpies in September.This week: Sydney Swans at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmMagpies look for finals identify against swans|00:3012. MELBOURNE (10-10, 97.9%) Last week: Positioned 10th, lost to Western Bulldogs through 51 ptsFor the first time this decade the Demons will definitely head into the AFL season's dead area, participating in out the chain with absolutely nothing vulnerable. In a way, being actually properly out of the finals ethnicity must be freeing - they may play for 2025, trialling gamers in new positions and also delivering sore gamers in for early surgeries. After all take a look at Geelong as well as Fremantle, who switched extremely frustrating 2023 times right into very likely 2024 finals berths you can not pass over the ability of crews who have actually had excellence to only recuperate a year eventually. Hell, Collingwood is the best example. Each one of this is actually why our experts are actually not overreacting concerning Melbourne's circumstance certainly not until midway with following year, anyway.This week: Slot Adelaide at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm13. GOLD SHORELINES SUNLIGHT (9-11, 100.4%) Last week: Positioned 11th, lost to West Shore by 10 ptsTheir home-away split is actually truly staggering. Home ground perk is actually expected to be worth a goal or 2 - certainly not switch you from outright rubbish right into a top-four challenger! We know our experts've been actually discussing this all year however the tale has been the same all year ... just like the story of 'kinda remaining in the blend with 5-6 rounds left behind and afterwards breaking down' has actually been the same for this entire nightclub for time after time. Receive a brand new gimmick!This week: Essendon at Wonder Stadium, Saturday 7:30 pmBuckley regulations himself away from Eagles job|01:1814. ADELAIDE CROWS (7-12-1, 99.8%) Recently: Rated 15th, dropped to Geelong by 5 ptsThis full week: Western Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pm15. ST KILDA (8-12, 94.9%) Recently: Placed 14th, dropped to Brisbane by 85 ptsThis full week: Richmond at Marvel Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, as our experts pointed out last week, these staffs certainly never have the very same lead to the exact same weekend! So after Adelaide's reduction on Saturday it is actually opportunity to inspect the scores for the Saints' video game and-ah. Straight. Don't bother. For what it costs the Crows probably weren't just as good as the scoreboard proposed, getting belted in the competition through a less-than-impressive Geelong midfield, so they were actually both poor. Allow's observe if either team can play spoiler over the final 3 weeks - the Saints could possibly mess up Carlton or even Geelong's season, while the Crows could injure the Pets however additional significantly would really love to destroy Slot's. Riewoldt goes over Dusty's famous job|04:1316. WEST SHORE BALD EAGLES (4-16, 70%) Last week: Rated 18th, def Gold Shoreline through 10 ptsThis full week: North Melbourne at Blundstone Field, Sunday 1:45 pm17. NORTH MELBOURNE (3-17, 67%) Last week: Placed 17th, def Richmond through 16 ptsThis week: West Coastline Eagles at Blundstone Arena, Sunday 1:45 pm18. RICHMOND (2-18, 64.7%) Recently: Positioned 16th, lost to North Melbourne through 16 ptsThis full week: St Kilda at Marvel Arena, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, the two-week Spoonbowl is most likely over, along with Richmond in fact deserving the gain North - they succeeded the activity on expected score, off the rear of 60 inside 50s to 44 - however kicking on their own right into the No. 1 selection. (Which is actually probably for the very best lasting.) Though to be fair, it is actually feasible the Kangaroos have in fact mastered goalkicking, provided they're No. 1 in the AFL for precision this year. West Coast on the other hand was actually adequately outstanding versus a team playing for it period, along with a season-high tension ranking as well as their third-best disputed possessions succeed for the year. Given that Jarrad Schofield managed the Eagles have actually gone from 17th in the AFL for tension to eighth, which is actually a pretty good sign they are actually betting him. Now all eyes look to North's try to complete outside all-time low two for the first time this many years - while it would certainly still go down to portion, they would certainly reside in a good placement along with a win in Hobart.
