BRISBANE LIONS (13-6-1, 125.1%) Last week: Rated 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: Rated second, def Melbourne through 51 ptsThis week: Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pmWith the Swans diminishing a high cliff, if our experts had to anticipate a Grand Final right now, this will be it. It may certainly not even be achievable - if the Bulldogs can not fracture the top 4, they might be on an unavoidable conflict in a prelim. Yet in a pair of games that we believed were actually potential fruit peels, both they and Brisbane were prevalent. The Pets' protection is amazing right now regardless of all their workers issues, No. 2 for aspects permitted as well as No. 1 for factors made it possible for from turnovers over the final six weeks, while the Lions have raised during that department over that time period too (and also they extremely required to). Offered how well Brisbane are going you actually must question, would they be actually the entirely prevalent flag favorite right now if they had not copped numerous ACL accidents? To be in this setting given those impacts is actually extremely impressive, and the Bulldogs are as near a major banner contender as they have actually been for many years. What our team have actually know over the last few periods is actually that the AFL's efforts to bring reasonable balance indicate crews can definitely get going mid-season and surge into the premiership race - our team must stop eliminating accomplished checklists when they start slowly.Kingy unleashes on 'disconcerting' Swans|03:523. SYDNEY SWANS (14-6, 126.1%) Recently: Ranked 3rd, shed to Port Adelaide by 112 ptsNo issue where you look, Sunday evening was embarrassingly bad. There are actually just a few comparables to THIS sort of reduction for an eventual premier, yet none of them were this negative. In fact no V/AFL premier has shed a game through much more than 100 factors that season, and the biggest loss by an ultimate premier in the AFL time was Slot Adelaide receiving pumped by 92 points against the Kangaroos in Around 8, 2004. The greater trouble is that this isn't almost the last two weeks over the last 6 they are actually 17th for contested belongings, 18th for groundball obtains, 18th for authorizations, 17th for aspects coming from turnover differential and also 15th for tension rating. A blowout loss will blow those stats out at the same time yet they have nothing like a premier's profile page since the start of July. Therefore why do our team still possess all of them third? Well you don't sit a million activities clear atop the ladder for no reason possibly the remainder of the AFL has discovered all of them out yet our company still have some assurance the Swans may discover something close to their finest. And they must still end up leading pair of, which sets all of them up in addition to possible.This full week: Collingwood at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmLongmire hits back at "self-seeking" remarks|01:004. PORT ADELAIDE (13-7, 113.6%) Recently: Placed 9th, def Sydney through 112 ptsUnfortunately for the Energy, when you win a video game through THAT considerably, the account is actually constantly concerning the dropping team and also how the hell they were that bad. So allow's provide Port some ought to have appreciation, due to the fact that they are absolutely looking like a top-four crew immediately, as well as might be severe! Over the final 6 full weeks they're No. 2 in the AFL for aspects racked up, No. 1 for aspects against, No. 3 for objected to ownerships and No. 3 for spaces - yes the immensity of the Sydney succeed tosses those statistics out a bit, however they've precisely found some genuine kind. As well as if they have actually shut the void in between where they were, because 5th to 8th brace, to the bottom end of the leading four they're truly in the prelim final ethnicity. Which would be a fair result offered the standard ambiance of frustration this period has typically held.This full week: Melbourne at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm5. FREMANTLE (12-7-1, 116.7%) Recently: Ranked fourth, lost to Essendon by 1 ptIt have to be getting frustrating for Dockers followers - their team has shed four video games they led at three-quarter-time this year, 2 greater than anybody else. And also it would certainly've been a helpful get the Bombing planes too, offered the Swans' reduction earlier on the weekend break. Regardless of all of them needing to experience 3 teams sitting over all of them on the step ladder over the last three full weeks our company're certainly not too anxious they actually ought to succeed their 2 staying home activities, which will be enough to play finals, as well as even on thirteen as well as a half succeeds their great portion would in fact perform some great holding off Essendon. This isn't the Freo of the past - they are actually No. 1 for factors scored over the last 6 full weeks, and it's the first time due to the fact that 2013 they have actually been actually No. 1 in the comp over any kind of six-week period.This full week: Geelong at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 4:35 pmEmmett handed ban for unsafe tackle|00:226. GWS GIANTS (13-7, 111.2%) Recently: Placed 8th, def Hawthorn by 2 ptsThey appeared no place near it through three one-fourths against the Hawks, yet after that reminded everyone of the value of superstars. Toby Greene is actually very good, it appears. Prospective Coleman victor Jesse Hogan has been awesome for 18 months. As well as also Brent Daniels, among their additional underrated celebrities during their latest excellence, was actually a huge factor in the comeback with a whopping 12 last-quarter disposals. Offered the Lions' defensive absentees is there some chance Hogan and the crew get a hold of the Brisbane back six and draw a serious trouble on Sunday? They are actually gon na need to succeed another activity to play finals footy (and it could even be tight on 14 triumphes) so they might too receive it performed ASAP.This week: Brisbane Lions at the Gabba, Sunday 1:45 pmKingsley kindles balanced GWS settings|02:167. CARLTON (12-8, 112.1%) Recently: Ranked 5th, dropped to Collingwood through 3 ptsWe're visiting maintain believing in the Blues till they require our palm, because there's still a great deal going their means. Yes they have actually dropped 4 of their final five activities, yet 3 of those were actually only by a number of targets, and also final Saturday night was actually essentially made a decision through a zing. Maybe much more notably they are still the No. 1 staff in the AFL for factors coming from turn over differential - one of the most essential racking up resource. An enormous 19 of the final twenty staffs to rank No. 1 during that stat have created an initial ultimate or better. They're unfair, given that they are actually 16th for points from spaces over the last 6 full weeks, but you 'd rather be actually turnover-focused (as they are this year) than stoppage-focused (as they were actually in 2014). It would join a calamity if this group skipped the 8, offered the desires and also 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: Ranked 6th, def Adelaide by 5 ptsFunny how the Pet cats are both rather well-placed in a limited finals ethnicity and also giving our team a lot less self-confidence in their premium all at once. The scope most likely shouldn't have been pretty that strict versus Adelaide, yet it was actually, as well as our experts perhaps need to have to stop discussing Kardinia Park as a citadel - given they are actually 5-3 in the house, two of those wins coming by solitary digit frames. Yet once again, they are actually well-placed on 13 success and along with West Shore in the house to come in the final around. Squeeze a sway the Dockers or St Kilda before that, and they are actually effectively as well as really risk-free in the eight. There are still some main reasons for peace of mind, like Patrick Dangerfield finding form and the midfield executing extremely well total versus the Crows, plus the protection has stood more than the final six full weeks (No. 5 for aspects conceded). Yet although the leading four is within reach, they don't believe that a leading 4 team.This week: Fremantle at Optus Arena, Saturday 4:35 pmRobbo discloses Tomahawks' highest qualities|03:489. HAWTHORN (11-9, 104.1%) Recently: Rated 7th, shed to GWS through 2 ptsSunday's game is the most significant for any kind of one crew we have actually observed up until now in 2024. That's due to the fact that Hawthorn's outcome against Carlton are going to successfully choose their season. They've received an agape road to 14 victories along with a success, and also no team has actually even overlooked the best 8 with thirteen success just before. But shed as well as they are actually perhaps going to be pair of games away from the 8 along with pair of to participate in, a virtually unrecoverable posture. They are still performing a lot right yet the problem we understood regarding entering the season, their defence, stands out at a bad time - over the last 6 weeks they're No. 1 for interior 50s versus, however 17th for ratings every inside 50 versus. So staffs may not be getting it down there certainly much, however when they carry out, they're racking up at last will and testament. There is actually a bit of misery during that however it is actually certainly not all good luck. As our team have actually composed previously, even though the Hawks miss the finals this period has actually been awesome, however jeez it 'd be disheartening when they are actually therefore close to one of the best tales in years.This week: Carlton at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm10. ESSENDON (11-8-1, 95.9%) Recently: Placed 12th, def Fremantle through 1 ptTurns out we overlooked how necessary Darcy Church is actually to this team. After a peaceful first activity back he was actually immense against a star-studded Freo midfield. Along with him this time, the Bombing planes are +20 for allowances and also +18 coming from center clearances without him they're -17 and also +4 specifically. That win over Freo might get them into the finals yet there is actually additionally an authentic chance someone skips with 14 victories, especially if the Hawks defeated Carlton this weekend break, and also for the Bombers their draw and their inadequate percent have the very same effect of making all of them drop tiebreakers. It will be actually rather brutal if they succeeded thirteen and an one-half activities and also lost out yet at the same time, this is what takes place when you lose to non-finalists Melbourne, Adelaide as well as Street Kilda - you sign up with them.This full week: Gold Coast Suns at Marvel Coliseum, Sunday 7:30 pm' He is actually securing all of them from the tension'|03:0311. COLLINGWOOD (10-8-2, 100.2%) Recently: Positioned 13th, def Carlton through 2 ptsSo the inquiry is actually, are they back? They need to be near their best to create the eight from here - Melbourne will not be actually playing for everything in Cycle 24 so you will think the Magpies win that, yet facing the top two over the following two weeks is actually rather difficult. Possibly they have actually timed this clash with Sydney properly, however our experts are actually not confident Collingwood suffices to beat the step ladder forerunners, even in this stressed condition. It deserves taking note the Magpies are actually merely 16th for inside 50s over the last six weeks, yet 3rd for ratings per inside fifty, so productivity is keeping all of them going. Their protection has been no place near acceptable over that time frame so they are actually visiting need to take their possibilities to stop the Swans, and also if they carry out, at that point the various other challengers will start to stress. No one intends to experience a rejuvenated Magpies in September.This full week: Sydney Swans at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmMagpies find finals detect versus swans|00:3012. MELBOURNE (10-10, 97.9%) Last week: Positioned 10th, shed to Western Bulldogs by 51 ptsFor the very first time this decade the Demons are going to head right into the AFL period's lifeless area, playing out the chain along with nothing at all vulnerable. In such a way, being actually efficiently out of the finals race should be actually freeing - they can bet 2025, trialling gamers in brand-new positions and sending out painful players in for early surgical treatments. Besides consider Geelong and Fremantle, who switched extremely disappointing 2023 times in to very likely 2024 finals berths you can't pass over the capacity of crews that have actually possessed success to just rebound a year later on. Heck, Collingwood is the best example. Each of this is why we are actually not worrying about Melbourne's condition not until midway via next year, anyway.This week: Port Adelaide at the MCG, Sunday 7:30 pm13. GOLD SHORELINES SUNSHINES (9-11, 100.4%) Recently: Ranked 11th, dropped to West Shore through 10 ptsTheir home-away split is really incredible. Home ground benefit is expected to be worth an objective or more - certainly not transform you from downright rubbish in to a top-four opponent! We understand we have actually been actually writing about this all year but the account has been the same all year ... much like the account of 'kinda residing in the combine with 5-6 cycles left behind and then crumbling' has actually coincided for this entire club for season after time. Receive a new gimmick!This week: Essendon at Marvel Stadium, Sunday 7:30 pmBuckley policies themself away from Eagles project|01:1814. ADELAIDE CROWS (7-12-1, 99.8%) Recently: Rated 15th, dropped to Geelong through 5 ptsThis full week: Western Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pm15. ST KILDA (8-12, 94.9%) Recently: Positioned 14th, dropped to Brisbane through 85 ptsThis week: Richmond at Wonder Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, as we mentioned recently, these groups never ever possess the exact same cause the exact same weekend! So after Adelaide's loss on Sunday it's time to examine ball games for the Saints' game and-ah. Right. Never mind. Wherefore it costs the Crows most likely weren't comparable to the scoreboard proposed, getting bashed in the competition by a less-than-impressive Geelong midfield, so they were actually both substandard. Permit's find if either staff can easily play spoiler over the final 3 full weeks - the Saints could possibly wreck Carlton or Geelong's period, while the Crows might injure the Canines yet additional importantly would love to wreck Slot's. Riewoldt talks about Dusty's popular job|04:1316. WEST SHORE EAGLES (4-16, 70%) Recently: Ranked 18th, def Gold Coast through 10 ptsThis week: North Melbourne at Blundstone Arena, Saturday 1:45 pm17. NORTH MELBOURNE (3-17, 67%) Last week: Ranked 17th, def Richmond through 16 ptsThis week: West Coast Eagles at Blundstone Stadium, Sunday 1:45 pm18. RICHMOND (2-18, 64.7%) Last week: Rated 16th, shed to North Melbourne by 16 ptsThis full week: Street Kilda at Marvel Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, the two-week Spoonbowl is actually probably over, with Richmond really deserving the sway North - they gained the activity on expected score, off the back of 60 inside 50s to 44 - however booting on their own right into the No. 1 pick. (Which is actually perhaps for the best long-term.) Though to become fair, it is actually achievable the Kangaroos have in fact grasped goalkicking, offered they're No. 1 in the AFL for reliability this year. West Coastline at the same time was actually correctly excellent versus a team having fun for it season, with a season-high stress score as well as their third-best disputed belongings gain for the year. Because Jarrad Schofield managed the Eagles have actually gone coming from 17th in the AFL for pressure to 8th, which is actually a fair indication they are actually betting him. Right now all eyes turn to North's attempt to complete outside the bottom pair of for the very first time this years - while it would still decrease to amount, they will reside in a good setting with a win in Hobart.
