BRISBANE COUGARS (13-6-1, 125.1%) Last week: Ranked 1st, def Street Kilda by 85 ptsThis full week: GWS Giants at the Gabba, Sunday 1:45 pm2. WESTERN SIDE BULLDOGS (12-8, 122.4%) Last week: Ranked 2nd, def Melbourne by 51 ptsThis week: Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pmWith the Swans decreasing a cliff, if our team needed to forecast a Grand Final at this moment, this would be it. It may not even be possible - if the Bulldogs can't break the leading four, they may be on an inevitable collision course in a prelim. However in a set of games that we assumed were possible banana peels, both they as well as Brisbane were dominant. The Pet dogs' support is actually impressive at the moment even with all their personnel problems, No. 2 for factors made it possible for and also No. 1 for points permitted coming from turnovers over the last 6 weeks, while the Lions have actually raised in that department over that time frame too (as well as they terribly needed to have to). Provided just how properly Brisbane are going you really must ponder, will they be the absolutely dominant flag much-loved right now if they hadn't copped plenty of ACL traumas? To become within this posture given those impacts is actually really impressive, as well as the Bulldogs are actually as close to a significant banner challenger as they've been for several years. What we have actually learned over the last few times is that the AFL's initiatives to bring very competitive equilibrium indicate crews can truly start mid-season and rise in to the premiership race - our team need to cease ruling out accomplished checklists when they begin slowly.Kingy releases on 'startling' Swans|03:523. SYDNEY SWANS (14-6, 126.1%) Last week: Placed third, shed to Slot Adelaide through 112 ptsNo matter where you look, Saturday night was embarrassingly bad. There are just a few comparables to THIS sort of reduction for an ultimate premier, but none of them were this bad. Actually no V/AFL premier has shed a game through more than 100 aspects that time, and also the biggest reduction through an ultimate premier in the AFL age was Slot Adelaide acquiring pushed by 92 points against the Kangaroos in Around 8, 2004. The larger issue is actually that this isn't almost the final pair of weeks over the last six they're 17th for disputed things, 18th for groundball receives, 18th for authorizations, 17th for factors from turn over differential and also 15th for pressure rating. A blowout reduction will definitely blow those statistics out too yet they possess absolutely nothing like a premier's profile page because the start of July. Thus why perform we still have all of them 3rd? Well you don't sit a thousand video games very clear on top of the step ladder for no explanation perhaps the rest of the AFL has found all of them out but we still possess some peace of mind the Swans may locate something close to their greatest. As well as they need to still finish best pair of, which specifies them up in addition to possible.This full week: Collingwood at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmLongmire hits back at "self-seeking" opinions|01:004. SLOT ADELAIDE (13-7, 113.6%) Last week: Ranked 9th, def Sydney by 112 ptsUnfortunately for the Energy, when you gain an activity by THAT considerably, the story is actually always concerning the dropping crew as well as how the hell they were that bad. So let's provide Port some deserved praise, because they are actually genuinely seeming like a top-four group at the moment, and could be significant! Over the final 6 weeks they are actually No. 2 in the AFL for points scored, No. 1 for factors versus, No. 3 for contested ownerships and also No. 3 for open spaces - yes the measurement of the Sydney succeed throws those stats out a bit, but they've clearly located some genuine type. And if they have actually shut the void in between where they were actually, because 5th to 8th bracket, to the bottom end of the best 4 they are actually absolutely in the prelim ultimate nationality. Which will be a good end result offered the standard atmosphere of frustration this period possesses typically held.This week: Melbourne at the MCG, Sunday 7:30 pm5. FREMANTLE (12-7-1, 116.7%) Last week: Positioned 4th, dropped to Essendon by 1 ptIt have to be actually acquiring annoying for Dockers fans - their team has actually shed four games they led at three-quarter-time this year, pair of more than any individual else. And it would've been actually a helpful gain the Bombers too, provided the Swans' loss previously on the weekend. Despite all of them must deal with three groups resting over them on the step ladder over the ultimate 3 full weeks we are actually certainly not too concerned they truly should succeed their pair of staying home games, which would certainly be enough to participate in finals, and also even on thirteen and a fifty percent succeeds their exceptional percent will in fact carry out some great holding off Essendon. This isn't the Freo of the past - they are actually No. 1 for points racked up over the last six full weeks, and it's the first time considering that 2013 they've been actually No. 1 in the compensation over any six-week period.This week: Geelong at Optus Stadium, Saturday 4:35 pmEmmett handed restriction for unsafe tackle|00:226. GWS GIANTS (13-7, 111.2%) Last week: Ranked 8th, def Hawthorn by 2 ptsThey looked nowhere near it through 3 one-fourths against the Hawks, yet after that reminded everybody of the worth of superstars. Toby Greene is very good, it appears. Potential Coleman victor Jesse Hogan has actually been wonderful for 18 months. And also also Brent Daniels, some of their more underrated stars throughout their current success, was actually a huge think about the comeback with a monstrous 12 last-quarter disposals. Provided the Lions' protective absentees exists some odds Hogan and also the team find the Brisbane back 6 and draw a significant distress on Saturday? They are actually gon na require to win one more video game to participate in finals footy (and also it might even be tight on 14 success) so they may at the same time get it done ASAP.This full week: Brisbane Lions at the Gabba, Saturday 1:45 pmKingsley sparks healthy and balanced GWS scenes|02:167. CARLTON (12-8, 112.1%) Last week: Positioned 5th, lost to Collingwood through 3 ptsWe are actually visiting maintain relying on the Blues till they require our hand, given that there's still a lot going their method. Yes they have actually shed 4 of their final 5 games, but three of those were merely by a couple of objectives, and final Sunday evening was actually actually chosen through a kick. Maybe a lot more importantly they are still the No. 1 group in the AFL for aspects coming from turnover differential - one of the most crucial racking up source. An immense 19 of the final twenty groups to rank No. 1 during that stat have created a preliminary final or a lot better. They are actually one-sided, given that they are actually 16th for points coming from allowances over the final six weeks, however you prefer to be turnover-focused (as they are this year) than stoppage-focused (as they were in 2015). It would be close to a catastrophe if this group missed out on the eight, offered the desires and also where they were actually just a month ago, but if they shed to the Hawks the possibility is actually live.This week: Hawthorn at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm8. GEELONG (13-7, 108.9%) Recently: Positioned 6th, def Adelaide by 5 ptsFunny just how the Pet cats are actually both rather well-placed in a limited finals nationality and offering our company a lot less peace of mind in their quality all at once. The frame most likely should not have actually been fairly that strict versus Adelaide, yet it was actually, and we perhaps need to quit talking about Kardinia Playground as a fortress - offered they're 5-3 at home, two of those success obtaining solitary finger frames. But once again, they are actually well-placed on thirteen victories and also with West Shoreline in the home to come in the ultimate round. Pinch a get the Dockers or even Street Kilda just before that, and also they're well as well as genuinely risk-free in the 8. There are actually still some factors for peace of mind, like Patrick Dangerfield discovering form as well as the midfield doing extremely well general against the Crows, plus the support has actually stood well over the final 6 weeks (No. 5 for aspects yielded). Yet although the leading 4 is actually within reach, they do not seem like a best 4 team.This week: Fremantle at Optus Stadium, Sunday 4:35 pmRobbo uncovers Tomahawks' highests|03:489. HAWTHORN (11-9, 104.1%) Recently: Positioned 7th, dropped to GWS through 2 ptsSunday's game is one of the most essential for any kind of one group our team have actually found up until now in 2024. That's because Hawthorn's end result against Carlton are going to successfully decide their time. They have actually obtained a wide-open course to 14 wins along with a victory, and no crew has actually also missed out on the top eight along with 13 victories before. But lose as well as they are actually most likely going to be actually 2 video games away from the eight along with 2 to participate in, a nearly unworkable position. They are still doing a whole lot right yet the trouble we understood about coming into the period, their support, is striking at a bad time - over the last 6 full weeks they are actually No. 1 for within 50s versus, but 17th for ratings every inside fifty against. So crews aren't ascertaining there certainly a lot, yet when they perform, they're scoring at will. There's a little bit of misfortune because yet it's not all good fortune. As our team've written in the past, even though the Hawks overlook the finals this time has actually been unbelievable, however jeez it 'd be disheartening when they're so close to among the greatest stories 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 our company failed to remember exactly how significant Darcy Parish is to this staff. After a peaceful 1st activity back he was immense versus a star-studded Freo midfield. Along with him this period, the Bombing planes are actually +20 for clearances and also +18 coming from centre allowances without him they are actually -17 and also +4 respectively. That gain Freo could possibly get them in to the finals but there's likewise an authentic opportunity a person overlooks along with 14 triumphes, particularly if the Hawks defeated Carlton this weekend break, and for the Bombers their draw as well as their inadequate portion possess the exact same result of making all of them shed tiebreakers. It would be pretty harsh if they gained thirteen and a half activities and also missed out however together, this is what takes place when you lose to non-finalists Melbourne, Adelaide and also Street Kilda - you sign up with them.This full week: Gold Coast Suns at Wonder Stadium, Saturday 7:30 pm' He is actually shielding them coming from the tension'|03:0311. COLLINGWOOD (10-8-2, 100.2%) Last week: Placed 13th, def Carlton by 2 ptsSo the inquiry is actually, are they back? They need to have to become near their best to make the eight from here - Melbourne won't be playing for just about anything in Cycle 24 so you 'd assume the Magpies succeed that one, however dealing with the best two over the upcoming two weeks is actually rather difficult. Perhaps they have actually timed this clash with Sydney well, however we're not certain Collingwood is good enough to trump the step ladder leaders, even in this weakened condition. It deserves noting the Magpies are just 16th for inside 50s over the last 6 weeks, yet 3rd for scores every inside fifty, therefore efficiency is actually keeping all of them going. Their protection has actually been no place near adequate over that period so they are actually heading to require to take their chances to stop the Swans, and also if they carry out, after that the various other competitors will begin to fret. Nobody desires to deal with a rejuvenated 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: Placed 10th, lost to Western Bulldogs by 51 ptsFor the very first time this decade the Demons will certainly move in to the AFL period's lifeless region, participating in out the string with absolutely nothing on the line. In such a way, being actually successfully out of the finals nationality should be actually freeing - they can bet 2025, trialling players in new postures and sending painful players in for early surgeries. Besides examine Geelong and Fremantle, who turned extremely unsatisfactory 2023 periods into probably 2024 finals berths you can't suspend the capacity of staffs who have actually had effectiveness to just get better a year eventually. Hell, Collingwood is actually the best example. Each one of this is why our company're not freaking out about Melbourne's scenario certainly not till midway with next year, anyway.This week: Port Adelaide at the MCG, Sunday 7:30 pm13. GOLD COAST SUNLIGHT (9-11, 100.4%) Last week: Ranked 11th, shed to West Shore through 10 ptsTheir home-away split is genuinely spectacular. Home ground conveniences is actually meant to become worth a goal or 2 - certainly not switch you from downright rubbish right into a top-four contender! We understand our company've been actually blogging about this all year however the tale has coincided all year ... just like the account of 'kinda being in the mix with 5-6 rounds left and after that breaking down' has actually coincided for this whole nightclub for time after period. Receive a brand new gimmick!This week: Essendon at Marvel Stadium, Saturday 7:30 pmBuckley regulations themself away from Eagles task|01:1814. ADELAIDE CROWS (7-12-1, 99.8%) Recently: Placed 15th, lost to Geelong by 5 ptsThis week: Western Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pm15. ST KILDA (8-12, 94.9%) Recently: Rated 14th, shed to Brisbane by 85 ptsThis full week: Richmond at Marvel Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, as we stated recently, these groups never have the same lead to the very same weekend break! Thus after Adelaide's reduction on Sunday it is actually time to examine the scores for the Saints' game and-ah. Straight. Never mind. Wherefore it deserves the Crows probably weren't comparable to the scoreboard proposed, receiving bashed in the competition through a less-than-impressive Geelong midfield, so they were both substandard. Permit's find if either staff can easily play looter over the last three weeks - the Saints could destroy Carlton or even Geelong's season, while the Crows could possibly hurt the Dogs but even more significantly would love to wreck Slot's.

WEST COASTLINE BALD EAGLES (4-16, 70%) Last week: Ranked 18th, def Gold Coastline by 10 ptsThis week: North Melbourne at Blundstone Stadium, Sunday 1:45 pm17. NORTH MELBOURNE (3-17, 67%) Recently: Ranked 17th, def Richmond by 16 ptsThis full week: West Coast Eagles at Blundstone Arena, Sunday 1:45 pm18. RICHMOND (2-18, 64.7%) Recently: Placed 16th, dropped to North Melbourne by 16 ptsThis week: Street Kilda at Wonder Stadium, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, the two-week Spoonbowl is actually probably over, along with Richmond in fact deserving the sway North - they succeeded the activity on assumed rating, off the back of 60 inside 50s to 44 - yet kicking on their own in to the No. 1 choice. (Which is actually perhaps for the best lasting.) Though to be decent, it is actually feasible the Kangaroos have in fact understood goalkicking, offered they are actually No. 1 in the AFL for accuracy this year. West Coast at the same time was actually appropriately impressive versus a team having fun for it period, with a season-high pressure ranking as well as their third-best contended properties gain for the year. Since Jarrad Schofield managed the Eagles have actually gone coming from 17th in the AFL for stress to eighth, which is actually a good indication they're playing for him. Currently all eyes rely on North's effort to finish outside the bottom pair of for the first time this many years - while it would certainly still go down to percentage, they will reside in a great setting along with a gain in Hobart.
