BRISBANE COUGARS (13-6-1, 125.1%) Recently: Ranked 1st, def St Kilda through 85 ptsThis week: GWS Giants at the Gabba, Saturday 1:45 pm2. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (12-8, 122.4%) Last week: Placed second, def Melbourne by 51 ptsThis week: Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pmWith the Swans decreasing a cliff, if our experts had to anticipate a Grand Final today, this would be it. It may not also be feasible - if the Bulldogs can't fracture the best 4, they could be on an unavoidable conflict in a prelim. But in a set of video games that our company thought were actually possible banana peelings, both they and Brisbane were leading. The Dogs' support is stunning right now despite all their staffs issues, No. 2 for factors permitted as well as No. 1 for points made it possible for coming from turnovers over the last six full weeks, while the Lions have raised in that department over that time period as well (as well as they extremely needed to have to). Given how effectively Brisbane are actually going you actually must ponder, would they be actually the completely leading flag much-loved now if they had not copped many ACL injuries? To be in this particular position offered those blows is extremely impressive, as well as the Bulldogs are as close to a major banner contender as they have actually been for a long times. What our experts've discovered over the final few periods is that the AFL's initiatives to deliver competitive harmony indicate groups may definitely get going mid-season as well as surge into the premiership ethnicity - our company must cease ruling out talented listings when they start slowly.Kingy releases on 'disconcerting' Swans|03:523. SYDNEY SWANS (14-6, 126.1%) Recently: Placed 3rd, shed to Port Adelaide by 112 ptsNo issue where you appear, Saturday evening was embarrassingly unsatisfactory. There are only a few comparables to THIS sort of loss for an eventual premier, yet none of them were this negative. In reality no V/AFL premier has shed a game through greater than one hundred factors that season, and the greatest reduction by a possible premier in the AFL time was Port Adelaide getting pushed by 92 points against the Kangaroos in Around 8, 2004. The larger trouble is that this isn't almost the last pair of full weeks over the final six they are actually 17th for contested belongings, 18th for groundball gets, 18th for approvals, 17th for aspects from turn over differential as well as 15th for tension score. A blowout reduction will definitely blow those stats out as well but they have nothing at all like a premier's profile page due to the fact that the beginning of July. So why perform our experts still possess all of them third? Well you don't rest a million games clear on top of the ladder for no reason possibly the remainder of the AFL has actually discovered all of them out however our company still have some confidence the Swans can easily find something close to their absolute best. And they need to still complete leading 2, which sets them up in addition to possible.This full week: Collingwood at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmLongmire counters at "egoistic" comments|01:004. PORT ADELAIDE (13-7, 113.6%) Last week: Positioned 9th, def Sydney by 112 ptsUnfortunately for the Electrical power, when you win a video game through THAT considerably, the account is constantly regarding the losing staff as well as how the heck they were actually that negative. Thus permit's provide Port some should have appreciation, due to the fact that they are actually truly appearing like a top-four team now, and may be serious! Over the last six full weeks they're No. 2 in the AFL for factors racked up, No. 1 for points versus, No. 3 for contended ownerships and also No. 3 for allowances - yes the magnitude of the Sydney win tosses those statistics out a little, yet they have actually clearly located some true type. As well as if they have actually closed the space in between where they were, because 5th to 8th brace, down end of the best 4 they're absolutely in the prelim final race. Which will be actually a good end result given the basic ambiance of disappointment this season has typically held.This week: Melbourne at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm5. FREMANTLE (12-7-1, 116.7%) Last week: Ranked 4th, dropped to Essendon by 1 ptIt should be getting frustrating for Dockers fans - their crew has lost 4 video games they led at three-quarter-time this year, 2 much more than any person else. As well as it would certainly've been actually a helpful win over the Bombing planes too, offered the Swans' reduction earlier on the weekend break. Despite all of them must face 3 staffs sitting over all of them on the ladder over the ultimate 3 weeks our team're not also worried they truly need to win their two remaining home video games, which will be enough to play finals, and also also on thirteen and a half succeeds their great portion will actually carry out some great holding off Essendon. This isn't the Freo of recent - they are actually No. 1 for factors racked up over the final six weeks, and it is actually the very first time since 2013 they've been No. 1 in the comp over any six-week period.This week: Geelong at Optus Coliseum, Saturday 4:35 pmEmmett handed restriction for risky address|00:226. GWS GIANTS (13-7, 111.2%) Last week: Placed 8th, def Hawthorn through 2 ptsThey appeared no place near it with 3 quarters versus the Hawks, but at that point helped remind every person of the worth of celebrities. Toby Greene is quite really good, it turns out. Prospective Coleman champion Jesse Hogan has actually been actually wonderful for 18 months. And also Brent Daniels, some of their even more underrated stars throughout their recent success, was actually a substantial factor in the comeback with a tremendous 12 last-quarter disposals. Offered the Lions' defensive absentees is there some opportunity Hogan and also the crew acquire the Brisbane back six and draw a serious trouble on Sunday? They're gon na require to succeed another game to play finals footy (and it may also be strict on 14 triumphes) so they may at the same time obtain it carried out ASAP.This full week: Brisbane Lions at the Gabba, Sunday 1:45 pmKingsley sparks balanced GWS scenes|02:167. CARLTON (12-8, 112.1%) Recently: Placed 5th, lost to Collingwood through 3 ptsWe are actually mosting likely to keep caring about the Blues until they force our palm, since there is actually still a lot going their method. Yes they've dropped four of their final 5 video games, yet 3 of those were actually simply by a couple of targets, and also last Saturday night was actually literally made a decision through a zing. Possibly extra essentially they are still the No. 1 staff in the AFL for aspects coming from turn over differential - the absolute most necessary scoring source. A massive 19 of the final twenty groups to place No. 1 in that stat have created a preparatory ultimate or much better. They are actually unfair, considering that they are actually 16th for factors from clearances over the final 6 weeks, but you 'd rather be actually turnover-focused (as they are this year) than stoppage-focused (as they were in 2014). It would certainly be close to a catastrophe if this staff overlooked the 8, provided the assumptions and where they were merely a month ago, however 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: Placed 6th, def Adelaide by 5 ptsFunny just how the Kitties are both rather well-placed in a limited finals ethnicity and also providing us much less confidence in their high quality simultaneously. The scope perhaps should not have actually been quite that tight against Adelaide, yet it was actually, and also our team probably need to have to cease speaking about Kardinia Playground as a fortress - provided they are actually 5-3 in your home, two of those victories getting single finger frames. But once again, they are actually well-placed on thirteen success and also along with West Shoreline in the house to come in the final sphere. Squeeze a win over the Dockers or Street Kilda before that, and also they are actually well and genuinely risk-free in the eight. There are actually still some factors for self-confidence, like Patrick Dangerfield locating kind as well as the midfield performing quite possibly general versus the Crows, plus the support has risen well over the final six weeks (No. 5 for factors conceded). But although the top four is accessible, they don't think that a top 4 team.This week: Fremantle at Optus Stadium, Saturday 4:35 pmRobbo shows Tomahawks' highests|03:489. HAWTHORN (11-9, 104.1%) Recently: Ranked 7th, shed to GWS through 2 ptsSunday's video game is the best essential for any sort of one staff we have actually observed thus far in 2024. That is actually due to the fact that Hawthorn's outcome against Carlton will properly choose their period. They have actually acquired an agape path to 14 wins along with a success, and also no staff has actually even skipped the leading eight with thirteen success prior to. But drop and they're probably visiting be actually two activities out of the 8 along with pair of to participate in, an almost unrecoverable setting. They are actually still performing a lot right however the complication we knew concerning entering into the time, their defence, stands out at a hard time - over the last 6 full weeks they're No. 1 for within fifties against, yet 17th for credit ratings per inside fifty against. Thus groups aren't ascertaining there certainly a lot, however when they perform, they're racking up at last will and testament. There is actually a bit of tragedy in that but it is actually not all fortune. As our team have actually created previously, even if the Hawks skip the finals this time has been actually unbelievable, yet jeez it 'd be annoying when they are actually therefore close to some of the greatest accounts in years.This full week: Carlton at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm10. ESSENDON (11-8-1, 95.9%) Last week: Positioned 12th, def Fremantle through 1 ptTurns out we overlooked exactly how necessary Darcy Parish is to this crew. After a silent first game back he was enormous versus a star-studded Freo midfield. Along with him this time, the Bombing planes are actually +20 for spaces as well as +18 coming from facility spaces without him they're -17 and +4 respectively. That win over Freo could possibly get all of them into the finals yet there is actually additionally a genuine odds an individual overlooks along with 14 success, particularly if the Hawks defeated Carlton this weekend break, and also for the Bombing planes their draw and also their poor portion have the exact same result of producing them shed sudden deaths. It would certainly be actually pretty brutal if they won thirteen and a fifty percent video games and also lost out but simultaneously, this is what happens when you shed to non-finalists Melbourne, Adelaide and also Street Kilda - you sign up with them.This full week: Gold Shoreline Suns at Wonder Coliseum, Saturday 7:30 pm' He's shielding them from the stress'|03:0311. COLLINGWOOD (10-8-2, 100.2%) Last week: Positioned 13th, def Carlton through 2 ptsSo the concern is, are they back? They require to be near their best to create the 8 from here - Melbourne won't be actually betting anything in Cycle 24 so you would certainly assume the Magpies gain that people, but encountering the best two over the next two full weeks is fairly hard. Maybe they have actually timed this clash with Sydney well, but our team're not certain Collingwood suffices to defeat the ladder leaders, also in this stressed condition. It costs noting the Magpies are simply 16th for inside 50s over the last six weeks, yet third for credit ratings every inside fifty, thus effectiveness is actually keeping them going. Their support has been actually nowhere near adequate over that duration so they are actually going to need to have to take their opportunities to stop the Swans, and if they do, at that point the various other contenders will certainly begin to panic. Nobody wants to face a restored Magpies in September.This full week: Sydney Swans at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmMagpies seek finals identify versus swans|00:3012. MELBOURNE (10-10, 97.9%) Recently: Ranked 10th, shed to Western Bulldogs through 51 ptsFor the first time this many years the Demons will certainly move in to the AFL time's lifeless zone, participating in out the string with nothing on the line. In a manner, being actually successfully away from the finals ethnicity must be relieving - they may bet 2025, trialling players in new placements as well as sending aching gamers in for early surgical procedures. After all check out Geelong as well as Fremantle, who transformed really unsatisfying 2023 times into most likely 2024 finals berths you can not suspend the capacity of crews that have actually had effectiveness to merely get better a year later. Heck, Collingwood is the most effective instance. All of this is actually why our company're certainly not stressing concerning Melbourne's condition not till midway via upcoming year, anyway.This week: Slot Adelaide at the MCG, Sunday 7:30 pm13. GOLD SHORES SUNLIGHT (9-11, 100.4%) Recently: Positioned 11th, shed to West Coastline by 10 ptsTheir home-away split is actually really incredible. Home ground perk is actually supposed to be worth a target or two - certainly not switch you from downright rubbish right into a top-four competitor! We know our company have actually been actually writing about this all year yet the account has actually coincided all year ... much like the tale of 'kinda residing in the combine with 5-6 cycles left behind and after that falling apart' has actually been the same for this entire nightclub for time after season. Receive a brand-new gimmick!This full week: Essendon at Wonder Stadium, Sunday 7:30 pmBuckley guidelines himself away from Eagles work|01:1814. ADELAIDE CROWS (7-12-1, 99.8%) Recently: Rated 15th, dropped to Geelong through 5 ptsThis week: Western Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pm15. ST KILDA (8-12, 94.9%) Recently: Ranked 14th, shed to Brisbane by 85 ptsThis full week: Richmond at Wonder Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, as our company said recently, these crews certainly never have the same result in the exact same weekend break! Thus after Adelaide's loss on Saturday it is actually opportunity to examine the scores for the Saints' video game and-ah. Right. Never mind. For what it costs the Crows possibly weren't like the scoreboard advised, acquiring belted in the competition through a less-than-impressive Geelong midfield, so they were both wanting. Let's observe if either group can easily participate in looter over the ultimate 3 full weeks - the Saints might wreck Carlton or even Geelong's period, while the Crows might injure the Canines but more notably would like to destroy Port's.

WEST SHORE BALD EAGLES (4-16, 70%) Recently: Positioned 18th, def Gold Coast through 10 ptsThis week: North Melbourne at Blundstone Field, Sunday 1:45 pm17. NORTH MELBOURNE (3-17, 67%) Recently: Placed 17th, def Richmond by 16 ptsThis week: West Coast Eagles at Blundstone Field, Saturday 1:45 pm18. RICHMOND (2-18, 64.7%) Last week: Rated 16th, dropped to North Melbourne through 16 ptsThis week: St Kilda at Wonder Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, the two-week Spoonbowl is most likely over, with Richmond really deserving the gain North - they succeeded the activity on anticipated score, off the back of 60 inside 50s to 44 - but booting on their own right into the No. 1 pick. (Which is actually most likely advantageous long-lasting.) Though to be decent, it is actually feasible the Kangaroos have actually grasped goalkicking, offered they're No. 1 in the AFL for precision this year. West Shore on the other hand was actually correctly impressive versus a group playing for it period, with a season-high tension score and their third-best opposed properties succeed for the year. Due to the fact that Jarrad Schofield consumed the Eagles have gone from 17th in the AFL for pressure to 8th, which is a respectable indication they're betting him. Now all eyes look to North's try to end up outside the bottom two for the first time this years - while it would certainly still go down to percent, they 'd reside in a really good setting with a gain in Hobart.
