Our team take triumphes as well as losses right into account, but additionally the high quality of opposition faced and whether staffs are actually most likely to acquire healthier and/or strengthen going forward.

BRISBANE COUGARS (13-6-1, 125.1%) Recently: Ranked 1st, def Street Kilda through 85 ptsThis week: GWS Giants at the Gabba, Sunday 1:45 pm2. WESTERN BULLDOGS (12-8, 122.4%) Recently: Rated second, def Melbourne by 51 ptsThis full week: Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pmWith the Swans falling off a cliff, if we must anticipate a Grand Final at this moment, this would certainly be it. It may certainly not even be possible - if the Bulldogs can't fracture the top four, they could be on an inescapable clash in a prelim. But in a pair of activities that our team assumed were actually prospective banana peels, both they and also Brisbane were leading. The Pet dogs' protection is actually spectacular now in spite of all their workers issues, No. 2 for factors enabled and No. 1 for aspects enabled from turnovers over the last six weeks, while the Lions have elevated because division over that duration at the same time (and they poorly required to). Given exactly how properly Brisbane are going you in fact have to wonder, will they be actually the utterly dominant flag preferred now if they had not copped many ACL traumas? To be in this particular posture offered those blows is incredibly exceptional, as well as the Bulldogs are as near to a severe banner challenger as they've been for a long times. What we've discovered over the last couple of periods is that the AFL's initiatives to deliver reasonable balance indicate staffs can actually start mid-season as well as surge into the premiership nationality - our team must stop eliminating talented checklists when they start slowly.Kingy unleashes on 'startling' Swans|03:523. SYDNEY SWANS (14-6, 126.1%) Last week: Placed third, lost to Port Adelaide through 112 ptsNo concern where you appear, Saturday evening was embarrassingly poor. There are just a few comparables to THIS type of reduction for a resulting premier, yet none were this negative. In reality no V/AFL premier has dropped a video game by more than 100 points that period, and also the biggest reduction through an ultimate premier in the AFL time was Port Adelaide obtaining pumped by 92 factors against the Kangaroos in Round 8, 2004. The larger concern is that this isn't nearly the last 2 full weeks over the final 6 they're 17th for objected to ownerships, 18th for groundball gets, 18th for clearances, 17th for aspects coming from turn over differential as well as 15th for stress rating. A blowout loss will blow those statistics out at the same time however they have nothing at all like a premier's profile because the start of July. Therefore why do we still have them third? Well you do not sit a thousand video games crystal clear in addition to the step ladder for no reason perhaps the remainder of the AFL has actually located them out however we still have some peace of mind the Swans can find one thing near their best. And also they need to still complete top 2, which establishes all of them up and also possible.This week: Collingwood at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmLongmire hits back at "self-seeking" reviews|01:004. SLOT ADELAIDE (13-7, 113.6%) Last week: Rated 9th, def Sydney through 112 ptsUnfortunately for the Power, when you win an activity by THAT much, the account is consistently regarding the shedding crew and also how the heck they were that negative. Therefore let's offer Slot some should have praise, given that they are really looking like a top-four team right now, and also could be serious! Over the last six full weeks they are actually No. 2 in the AFL for factors racked up, No. 1 for points versus, No. 3 for contended belongings and also No. 3 for spaces - yes the immensity of the Sydney win throws those statistics out a small amount, yet they've plainly discovered some real kind. And if they have actually shut the space in between where they were actually, in that 5th to 8th brace, to the bottom end of the leading four they're genuinely in the prelim final nationality. Which would be a pretty good result offered the overall feel of irritation this season possesses typically held.This week: Melbourne at the MCG, Sunday 7:30 pm5. FREMANTLE (12-7-1, 116.7%) Recently: Placed 4th, shed to Essendon through 1 ptIt should be acquiring aggravating for Dockers enthusiasts - their crew has actually lost four games they led at three-quarter-time this year, pair of more than any individual else. And also it would possess been a handy get the Bombing planes also, provided the Swans' loss previously on the weekend break. Despite all of them having to face 3 staffs resting above them on the ladder over the ultimate three full weeks our company are actually not as well worried they really must gain their two staying home activities, which will be enough to play finals, and even on thirteen as well as an one-half gains their exceptional portion will actually carry out some great holding off Essendon. This isn't the Freo of the past - they are actually No. 1 for factors scored over the last six weeks, and it is actually the very first time because 2013 they've been actually No. 1 in the over any sort of six-week period.This full week: Geelong at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 4:35 pmEmmett handed restriction for risky handle|00:226. GWS GIANTS (13-7, 111.2%) Last week: Placed 8th, def Hawthorn through 2 ptsThey looked no place near it by means of three one-fourths against the Hawks, yet at that point advised every person of the worth of celebrities. Toby Greene is actually very great, it ends up. Potential Coleman victor Jesse Hogan has actually been superb for 18 months. And also Brent Daniels, among their even more underrated stars throughout their latest success, was actually a huge consider the comeback with a monstrous 12 last-quarter fingertips. Given the Lions' protective absentees is there some chance Hogan as well as the staff get a hold of the Brisbane back 6 as well as take a significant upset on Sunday? They're gon na need to have to gain another game to participate in finals footy (and also it could also be actually limited on 14 victories) so they may at the same time obtain it performed ASAP.This week: Brisbane Lions at the Gabba, Sunday 1:45 pmKingsley fires up balanced GWS settings|02:167. CARLTON (12-8, 112.1%) Recently: Placed 5th, dropped to Collingwood through 3 ptsWe are actually going to keep caring about cry up until they compel our palm, since there's still a great deal going their means. Yes they've lost 4 of their last 5 games, yet three of those were only through a number of goals, and also final Saturday night was actually actually decided by a zing. Probably extra notably they are still the No. 1 crew in the AFL for factors coming from turnover differential - the best vital scoring source. A whopping 19 of the last 20 teams to rate No. 1 in that stat have made a preparatory last or better. They are actually discriminatory, because they're 16th for factors from spaces over the last 6 full weeks, yet you prefer to be actually turnover-focused (as they are this year) than stoppage-focused (as they were actually last year). It would join a calamity if this crew overlooked the eight, provided the assumptions and where they were actually only a month earlier, yet 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%) Last week: Positioned sixth, def Adelaide through 5 ptsFunny just how the Felines are actually both fairly well-placed in a limited finals race and also giving us less self-confidence in their premium at the same time. The margin perhaps shouldn't have been actually pretty that strict versus Adelaide, but it was, and our team possibly require to cease speaking about Kardinia Park as a citadel - given they are actually 5-3 in the home, 2 of those triumphes getting singular digit frames. But once more, they're well-placed on 13 wins as well as with West Shore in your home to find in the ultimate around. Pinch a get the Dockers or even Street Kilda just before that, and also they're effectively as well as absolutely risk-free in the eight. There are actually still some reasons for peace of mind, like Patrick Dangerfield finding form and also the midfield executing very well overall versus the Crows, plus the defence has actually risen more than the final six weeks (No. 5 for aspects conceded). Yet even though the leading four is actually accessible, they do not seem like a top four team.This full week: Fremantle at Optus Stadium, Saturday 4:35 pmRobbo exposes Tomahawks' highest qualities|03:489. HAWTHORN (11-9, 104.1%) Last week: Positioned 7th, shed to GWS through 2 ptsSunday's game is one of the most vital for any one group our team've found until now in 2024. That's since Hawthorn's end result against Carlton will effectively determine their time. They've received a wide-open path to 14 wins with a success, and no group has actually even missed the leading eight along with 13 victories just before. But shed and they are actually perhaps going to be actually 2 activities away from the 8 along with pair of to participate in, a practically unrecoverable position. They are actually still performing a whole lot right yet the concern we understood regarding entering into the period, their protection, stands out at a bad time - over the final 6 weeks they are actually No. 1 for inside fifties against, however 17th for ratings every inside fifty against. Therefore teams aren't getting it down certainly there a lot, but when they perform, they are actually racking up at last will and testament. There is actually a bit of tragedy during that but it's certainly not all good luck. As we have actually created in the past, regardless of whether the Hawks miss the finals this time has actually been actually astonishing, but jeez it would certainly be actually annoying when they're thus near to one of the greatest stories in years.This full week: Carlton at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm10. ESSENDON (11-8-1, 95.9%) Recently: Positioned 12th, def Fremantle through 1 ptTurns out our team failed to remember how important Darcy Church is actually to this crew. After a quiet initial game back he was enormous against a star-studded Freo midfield. With him this period, the Bombing planes are +20 for allowances and +18 coming from center open spaces without him they are actually -17 and +4 specifically. That draw Freo could acquire them into the finals however there's likewise a real chance someone skips with 14 victories, specifically if the Hawks defeated Carlton this weekend break, and also for the Bombers their draw and also their unsatisfactory portion have the exact same result of creating all of them lose tiebreakers. It would be quite severe if they won thirteen and an one-half activities and missed out yet simultaneously, this is what happens when you shed to non-finalists Melbourne, Adelaide and also Street Kilda - you participate in them.This week: Gold Shoreline Suns at Wonder Arena, Sunday 7:30 pm' He's shielding them from the tension'|03:0311. COLLINGWOOD (10-8-2, 100.2%) Recently: Positioned 13th, def Carlton by 2 ptsSo the concern is actually, are they back? They need to be near their greatest to create the 8 hence - Melbourne won't be actually betting just about anything in Round 24 so you will assume the Magpies win that people, but dealing with the leading 2 over the next two weeks is actually pretty challenging. Maybe they've timed this encounter Sydney properly, however our experts are actually certainly not confident Collingwood suffices to trump the step ladder leaders, even in this particular damaged state. It costs keeping in mind the Magpies are just 16th for inside 50s over the last 6 full weeks, however third for scores every inside fifty, therefore productivity is keeping them going. Their protection has been nowhere near acceptable over that time period so they are actually heading to require to take their chances to cease the Swans, and if they carry out, then the various other competitors are going to start to panic. No one intends to face a restored Magpies in September.This week: Sydney Swans at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmMagpies seek finals spot against swans|00:3012. MELBOURNE (10-10, 97.9%) Recently: Placed 10th, lost to Western Bulldogs through 51 ptsFor the first time this decade the Demons are going to head right into the AFL season's dead region, playing out the string with absolutely nothing on the line. In such a way, being actually effectively away from the finals nationality ought to be relieving - they can bet 2025, trialling players in new placements as well as delivering sore players in for very early surgeries. After all look at Geelong as well as Fremantle, that switched incredibly unsatisfying 2023 seasons into very likely 2024 finals berths you can't suspend the ability of groups who've had effectiveness to simply get better a year eventually. Hell, Collingwood is actually the most ideal example. All of this is actually why our experts're not stressing regarding Melbourne's circumstance certainly not until midway through upcoming year, anyway.This full week: Port Adelaide at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm13. GOLD SHORES SUNSHINES (9-11, 100.4%) Recently: Placed 11th, shed to West Coastline by 10 ptsTheir home-away crack is actually absolutely incredible. Home ground perk is actually intended to become worth a goal or 2 - certainly not transform you from absolute rubbish into a top-four challenger! We understand our team have actually been covering this all year but the story has coincided all year ... similar to the account of 'kinda residing in the combine with 5-6 rounds left and then breaking down' has actually coincided for this entire club for period after period. Receive a brand-new gimmick!This full week: Essendon at Wonder Coliseum, Saturday 7:30 pmBuckley rules themself away from Eagles task|01:1814. ADELAIDE CROWS (7-12-1, 99.8%) Last week: Positioned 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: Placed 14th, shed to Brisbane by 85 ptsThis week: Richmond at Marvel Arena, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, as our company pointed out last week, these teams never possess the same result in the same weekend! Thus after Adelaide's reduction on Saturday it is actually time to check the scores for the Saints' activity and-ah. Straight. Never mind. Wherefore it's worth the Crows probably weren't as good as the scoreboard recommended, getting belted in the competition by a less-than-impressive Geelong midfield, so they were actually each substandard. Permit's see if either group can easily participate in spoiler over the ultimate three weeks - the Saints can spoil Carlton or even Geelong's time, while the Crows could possibly injure the Dogs however additional importantly would enjoy to wreck Port's.

WEST SHORE BALD EAGLES (4-16, 70%) Last week: Placed 18th, def Gold Shore by 10 ptsThis week: North Melbourne at Blundstone Stadium, Saturday 1:45 pm17. NORTH MELBOURNE (3-17, 67%) Last week: Ranked 17th, def Richmond by 16 ptsThis full week: West Coastline Eagles at Blundstone Stadium, Saturday 1:45 pm18. RICHMOND (2-18, 64.7%) Recently: Positioned 16th, lost to North Melbourne by 16 ptsThis week: St Kilda at Marvel Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, the two-week Spoonbowl is actually perhaps over, along with Richmond actually deserving the get North - they succeeded the game on assumed credit rating, off the rear of 60 inside 50s to 44 - however booting on their own right into the No. 1 choice. (Which is most likely for the very best long-term.) Though to be decent, it is actually achievable the Kangaroos have really mastered goalkicking, given they are actually No. 1 in the AFL for accuracy this year. West Shoreline meanwhile was properly outstanding against a group having fun for it season, along with a season-high tension rating as well as their third-best contended belongings succeed for the year. Considering that Jarrad Schofield managed the Eagles have actually gone from 17th in the AFL for pressure to eighth, which is a good indication they are actually betting him. Currently all eyes look to North's try to complete outside the bottom 2 for the very first time this years - while it would certainly still drop to percentage, they 'd be in a really good placement along with a win in Hobart.
