BRISBANE COUGARS (13-6-1, 125.1%) Recently: Placed 1st, def Street Kilda through 85 ptsThis week: GWS Giants at the Gabba, Sunday 1:45 pm2. WESTERN BULLDOGS (12-8, 122.4%) Last week: Ranked 2nd, def Melbourne by 51 ptsThis full week: Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pmWith the Swans decreasing a high cliff, if we had to predict a Grand Final at this moment, this will be it. It may certainly not also be actually feasible - if the Bulldogs can not fracture the top 4, they may be on an unavoidable clash in a prelim. However in a pair of video games that our team thought were potential banana peelings, both they and also Brisbane were leading. The Pet dogs' protection is magnificent today in spite of all their staffs concerns, No. 2 for factors permitted and also No. 1 for aspects permitted from turnovers over the final 6 weeks, while the Lions have elevated in that division over that duration too (and they extremely needed to have to). Provided exactly how properly Brisbane are actually going you in fact must ask yourself, would they be actually the utterly dominant flag favorite at this moment if they had not copped a lot of ACL personal injuries? To become in this particular placement provided those strikes is actually very excellent, and the Bulldogs are actually as near a severe banner contender as they have actually been for a long times. What our team have actually found out over the last couple of times is that the AFL's efforts to carry very competitive balance indicate teams can really get going mid-season as well as rise into the premiership race - we need to stop eliminating accomplished listings when they begin slowly.Kingy releases on 'worrying' Swans|03:523. SYDNEY SWANS (14-6, 126.1%) Recently: Rated 3rd, lost to Slot Adelaide by 112 ptsNo issue where you look, Saturday night was actually embarrassingly bad. There are only a few comparables to THIS type of reduction for a possible premier, yet none of them were this poor. In fact no V/AFL premier has shed a video game through greater than one hundred factors that time, and the greatest reduction by a possible premier in the AFL period was actually Slot Adelaide obtaining pumped through 92 points against the Kangaroos in Round 8, 2004. The bigger concern is actually that this isn't nearly the last pair of full weeks over the final six they're 17th for contended things, 18th for groundball receives, 18th for clearances, 17th for points from turn over differential as well as 15th for tension rating. A blowout loss will blow those statistics out too but they have absolutely nothing like a premier's account since the start of July. Thus why perform our experts still possess all of them third? Well you do not rest a thousand video games clear on top of the step ladder for no reason maybe the rest of the AFL has found them out yet our team still have some confidence the Swans may find one thing near to their ideal. And they need to still finish leading 2, which sets them up along with possible.This week: Collingwood at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmLongmire counters at "egoistic" remarks|01:004. SLOT ADELAIDE (13-7, 113.6%) Recently: Ranked 9th, def Sydney by 112 ptsUnfortunately for the Electrical power, when you win an activity through THAT much, the tale is actually regularly concerning the dropping group as well as exactly how the heck they were that negative. Therefore let's give Slot some deserved praise, because they are actually truly looking like a top-four team now, and also could be significant! Over the last 6 full weeks they are actually No. 2 in the AFL for aspects racked up, No. 1 for aspects against, No. 3 for objected to possessions and also No. 3 for spaces - yes the measurement of the Sydney gain throws those statistics out a little bit, but they have actually accurately discovered some actual form. And also if they've shut the gap in between where they were actually, in that 5th to 8th brace, down end of the top 4 they are actually really in the prelim last nationality. Which would be actually a fair outcome provided the standard character of disappointment this season possesses typically held.This week: Melbourne at the MCG, Sunday 7:30 pm5. FREMANTLE (12-7-1, 116.7%) Last week: Positioned fourth, lost to Essendon by 1 ptIt must be receiving annoying for Dockers followers - their staff has dropped 4 activities they led at three-quarter-time this year, two much more than anyone else. As well as it would've been a helpful draw the Bombing planes also, provided the Swans' reduction previously on the weekend. Even with all of them needing to deal with 3 staffs resting above them on the step ladder over the ultimate 3 weeks our team are actually not as well worried they definitely should gain their 2 remaining home activities, which would be enough to play finals, and also even on 13 as well as a fifty percent succeeds their exceptional percentage will really do some really good holding off Essendon. This isn't the Freo of recent - they are actually No. 1 for points racked up over the last 6 weeks, and it is actually the very first time since 2013 they have actually been actually No. 1 in the compensation over any six-week period.This full week: Geelong at Optus Coliseum, Saturday 4:35 pmEmmett handed ban for risky tackle|00:226. GWS GIANTS (13-7, 111.2%) Last week: Rated 8th, def Hawthorn by 2 ptsThey appeared nowhere near it through 3 fourths versus the Hawks, however after that advised everybody of the market value of celebrities. Toby Greene is fairly great, it ends up. Possible Coleman victor Jesse Hogan has actually been superb for 18 months. And also Brent Daniels, some of their even more underrated superstars during their current effectiveness, was actually a substantial consider the comeback with an enormous 12 last-quarter fingertips. Offered the Lions' protective absentees is there some possibility Hogan and also the workers obtain the Brisbane back six and draw a significant upset on Saturday? They're gon na require to succeed another game to play finals footy (and it might even be strict on 14 victories) so they might at the same time acquire it done ASAP.This full week: Brisbane Lions at the Gabba, Saturday 1:45 pmKingsley stirs up wholesome GWS settings|02:167. CARLTON (12-8, 112.1%) Last week: Rated 5th, lost to Collingwood by 3 ptsWe're heading to keep relying on the Blues till they require our hand, considering that there is actually still a great deal going their technique. Yes they've lost four of their last five video games, but three of those were actually merely through a number of targets, and last Sunday evening was practically made a decision by a kick. Maybe more essentially they are still the No. 1 staff in the AFL for aspects from turn over differential - the absolute most significant scoring resource. A whopping 19 of the final 20 groups to position No. 1 because stat have created a preliminary ultimate or better. They're one-sided, due to the fact that they're 16th for points from allowances over the final 6 full weeks, but you 'd rather be turnover-focused (as they are this year) than stoppage-focused (as they were actually in 2014). It would be close to a catastrophe if this crew skipped the 8, offered the requirements and where they were actually just a month ago, but if they lose to the Hawks the option is actually live.This week: Hawthorn at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm8. GEELONG (13-7, 108.9%) Recently: Placed sixth, def Adelaide by 5 ptsFunny just how the Cats are actually both pretty well-placed in a limited finals nationality and giving our company a lot less assurance in their top quality concurrently. The margin most likely should not have been rather that tight versus Adelaide, but it was actually, as well as our company most likely require to cease discussing Kardinia Park as a citadel - offered they're 5-3 in the home, two of those success coming by single digit scopes. However once more, they are actually well-placed on 13 wins as well as with West Coastline in the home to come in the final around. Pinch a win over the Dockers or even Street Kilda just before that, as well as they are actually properly and definitely risk-free in the eight. There are actually still some main reasons for confidence, like Patrick Dangerfield discovering kind as well as the midfield doing quite possibly total against the Crows, plus the support has actually stood up well over the last six full weeks (No. 5 for aspects yielded). Yet although the leading four is actually available, they don't believe that a top four team.This full week: Fremantle at Optus Stadium, Saturday 4:35 pmRobbo reveals Tomahawks' highests|03:489. HAWTHORN (11-9, 104.1%) Recently: Ranked 7th, dropped to GWS through 2 ptsSunday's game is one of the most essential for any sort of one group our team have actually seen so far in 2024. That's since Hawthorn's end result against Carlton will efficiently choose their season. They have actually got a wide-open course to 14 victories with a victory, as well as no team has actually also overlooked the top 8 with thirteen victories before. But drop and they are actually probably heading to be actually 2 activities away from the 8 along with pair of to play, an almost impossible position. They are actually still doing a great deal right however the problem we understood about entering into the season, their protection, is striking at a hard time - over the last 6 weeks they are actually No. 1 for interior fifties against, yet 17th for credit ratings every inside 50 versus. Thus crews aren't getting it down there a lot, yet when they perform, they are actually scoring at will. There's a little bit of bad luck during that yet it is actually certainly not all good fortune. As our experts've composed previously, even when the Hawks miss out on the finals this time has actually been unbelievable, but jeez it 'd be discouraging when they are actually so near among the most effective tales in years.This full 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 failed to remember exactly how necessary Darcy Parish is actually to this group. After a silent 1st activity back he was astounding against a star-studded Freo midfield. With him this season, the Bombing planes are +20 for open spaces and +18 coming from centre clearances without him they are actually -17 and +4 respectively. That get Freo could possibly receive all of them in to the finals however there is actually additionally a real odds an individual skips along with 14 victories, particularly if the Hawks trumped Carlton this weekend, and also for the Bombers their draw and their inadequate amount have the very same impact of making all of them shed tiebreakers. It would be rather severe if they won thirteen as well as a half video games and also missed out but all at once, this is what happens when you lose to non-finalists Melbourne, Adelaide and Street Kilda - you join them.This week: Gold Coastline Suns at Wonder Arena, Sunday 7:30 pm' He is actually sheltering all of them coming from the pressure'|03:0311. COLLINGWOOD (10-8-2, 100.2%) Recently: Ranked 13th, def Carlton by 2 ptsSo the concern is actually, are they back? They require to be near their ideal to make the 8 from here - Melbourne won't be actually playing for everything in Round 24 so you 'd assume the Magpies win that a person, but encountering the leading pair of over the next pair of weeks is fairly difficult. Probably they've timed this encounter Sydney well, but our company're not convinced Collingwood is good enough to trump the ladder forerunners, also within this stressed state. It's worth taking note the Magpies are actually merely 16th for inside 50s over the final 6 full weeks, yet 3rd for ratings per inside 50, thus efficiency is actually keeping them going. Their support has been actually nowhere near satisfactory over that duration so they are actually visiting need to take their odds to quit the Swans, as well as if they perform, after that the other opponents are going to begin to worry. Nobody would like to experience a revived Magpies in September.This full week: Sydney Swans at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmMagpies seek finals locate against swans|00:3012. MELBOURNE (10-10, 97.9%) Recently: Rated 10th, dropped to Western Bulldogs through 51 ptsFor the very first time this many years the Demons will certainly head in to the AFL time's dead region, playing out the chain along with nothing vulnerable. In a way, being effectively away from the finals nationality should be actually freeing - they can bet 2025, trialling players in new positions and also delivering painful gamers in for very early surgical procedures. After all check out Geelong as well as Fremantle, who switched very disappointing 2023 times right into most likely 2024 finals berths you can not count out the capacity of staffs that've possessed excellence to simply get better a year later. Hell, Collingwood is actually the very best instance. Each one of this is actually why our team are actually not freaking out about Melbourne's scenario certainly not till midway through following year, anyway.This full week: Slot Adelaide at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm13. GOLD COASTLINES SUNS (9-11, 100.4%) Recently: Placed 11th, lost to West Coast by 10 ptsTheir home-away split is actually really incredible. Home ground advantage is actually meant to be worth a target or 2 - certainly not switch you from absolute rubbish into a top-four opponent! We know our team've been blogging about this all year however the tale has actually been the same all year ... just like the account of 'kinda residing in the blend with 5-6 cycles left behind and afterwards crumbling' has actually coincided for this whole nightclub for season after period. Receive a brand-new gimmick!This week: Essendon at Marvel Stadium, Saturday 7:30 pmBuckley guidelines themself away from Eagles project|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, dropped to Brisbane through 85 ptsThis week: Richmond at Wonder Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, as our team stated recently, these groups certainly never have the very same cause the exact same weekend break! Thus after Adelaide's reduction on Saturday it's time to check out the scores for the Saints' activity and-ah. Straight. Never mind. Wherefore it costs the Crows possibly weren't just as good as the scoreboard advised, receiving bashed in the contest by a less-than-impressive Geelong midfield, so they were both substandard. Allow's find if either crew can easily play spoiler over the last 3 full weeks - the Saints could possibly ruin Carlton or even Geelong's season, while the Crows can hurt the Pets yet even more significantly would like to destroy Slot's. Riewoldt goes over Dusty's famous profession|04:1316. WEST COAST BALD EAGLES (4-16, 70%) Last week: Placed 18th, def Gold Coastline by 10 ptsThis week: North Melbourne at Blundstone Stadium, Saturday 1:45 pm17. NORTH MELBOURNE (3-17, 67%) Recently: Ranked 17th, def Richmond by 16 ptsThis week: West Shore Eagles at Blundstone Arena, Saturday 1:45 pm18. RICHMOND (2-18, 64.7%) Last week: Positioned 16th, shed 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 really deserving the win over North - they succeeded the game on expected credit rating, off the rear of 60 inside 50s to 44 - yet booting themselves in to the No. 1 pick. (Which is actually probably for the best long-lasting.) Though to be reasonable, it's achievable the Kangaroos have in fact learnt goalkicking, offered they are actually No. 1 in the AFL for precision this year. West Shore at the same time was adequately exceptional against a team having fun for it season, along with a season-high pressure ranking as well as their third-best disputed belongings gain for the year. Because Jarrad Schofield took control of the Eagles have actually gone from 17th in the AFL for stress to eighth, which is a fair indication they're betting him. Right now all eyes turn to North's effort to finish outside the bottom two for the first time this decade - while it will still go down to percent, they would certainly reside in a great posture with a win in Hobart.
