Our experts take success and losses right into profile, but likewise the quality of opposition dealt with as well as whether teams are probably to obtain much healthier and/or boost moving forward.

BRISBANE LIONS (13-6-1, 125.1%) Recently: Placed 1st, def Street Kilda through 85 ptsThis full week: GWS Giants at the Gabba, Saturday 1:45 pm2. WESTERN BULLDOGS (12-8, 122.4%) Last week: Ranked second, def Melbourne through 51 ptsThis week: Adelaide Crows at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pmWith the Swans falling off a high cliff, if our team must anticipate a Grand Final today, this would certainly be it. It might not also be achievable - if the Bulldogs can't break the leading four, they may be on an unavoidable clash in a prelim. But in a set of activities that our team thought were potential banana peelings, both they and Brisbane were actually prevalent. The Canines' protection is incredible now in spite of all their employees concerns, No. 2 for points made it possible for and No. 1 for aspects permitted coming from turnovers over the last six weeks, while the Lions have raised during that team over that time frame also (and they badly needed to). Offered exactly how well Brisbane are actually going you actually need to wonder, would certainly they be actually the totally prevalent banner favorite immediately if they hadn't copped plenty of ACL injuries? To be in this placement provided those impacts is really exceptional, as well as the Bulldogs are as near to a significant banner competitor as they have actually been actually for a long times. What we have actually discovered over the last couple of periods is that the AFL's attempts to bring affordable equilibrium mean crews can truly get going mid-season and rise into the premiership race - our team must cease eliminating skilled listings when they begin slowly.Kingy releases on 'worrying' Swans|03:523. SYDNEY SWANS (14-6, 126.1%) Recently: Ranked third, shed to Slot Adelaide by 112 ptsNo matter where you look, Saturday night was embarrassingly unsatisfactory. There are just a couple of comparables to THIS form of reduction for a possible premier, but none were this bad. In fact no V/AFL premier has actually lost a game through more than 100 aspects that period, and also the greatest reduction through an ultimate premier in the AFL era was actually Port Adelaide obtaining pushed through 92 aspects versus the Kangaroos in Sphere 8, 2004. The larger trouble is actually that this isn't nearly the final 2 weeks over the last 6 they are actually 17th for contended things, 18th for groundball acquires, 18th for approvals, 17th for points coming from turnover differential as well as 15th for pressure score. A blowout loss will certainly blow those stats out at the same time yet they have nothing at all like a premier's profile due to the fact that the start of July. Therefore why perform we still have all of them 3rd? Well you don't sit a million activities crystal clear on top of the ladder for no main reason perhaps the rest of the AFL has located all of them out however our team still have some self-confidence the Swans can find one thing near their absolute best. And also they should still complete best two, which prepares all of them up and also possible.This full week: Collingwood at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmLongmire hits back at "egoistic" remarks|01:004. PORT ADELAIDE (13-7, 113.6%) Recently: Ranked 9th, def Sydney by 112 ptsUnfortunately for the Power, when you succeed an activity through THAT considerably, the tale is actually consistently about the losing group and how the heck they were actually that negative. Therefore let's give Slot some ought to have approval, due to the fact that they are actually truly resembling a top-four group at this moment, as well as might be serious! Over the last 6 full weeks they are actually No. 2 in the AFL for aspects scored, No. 1 for aspects versus, No. 3 for contested possessions and also No. 3 for spaces - yes the immensity of the Sydney succeed throws those stats out a little, but they've accurately discovered some genuine kind. And if they've shut the void in between where they were, during that 5th to 8th brace, down end of the best 4 they are actually genuinely in the prelim final ethnicity. Which would certainly be actually a respectable result offered the basic character of frustration this period possesses typically held.This full week: Melbourne at the MCG, Saturday 7:30 pm5. FREMANTLE (12-7-1, 116.7%) Last week: Placed 4th, shed to Essendon through 1 ptIt need to be actually getting irritating for Dockers followers - their crew has lost four activities they led at three-quarter-time this year, two greater than any individual else. And it would possess been a convenient get the Bombing planes as well, given the Swans' reduction previously on the weekend. Despite all of them must face 3 teams resting above them on the ladder over the final three full weeks our team're certainly not as well anxious they definitely must gain their 2 staying home video games, which would suffice to play finals, and also even on thirteen and a half succeeds their outstanding amount would actually perform some really good holding off Essendon. This isn't the Freo of the past - they're No. 1 for points scored over the final 6 weeks, as well as it's the very first time due to the fact that 2013 they have actually been No. 1 in the over any six-week period.This week: Geelong at Optus Stadium, Sunday 4:35 pmEmmett handed ban for unsafe address|00:226. GWS GIANTS (13-7, 111.2%) Recently: Placed 8th, def Hawthorn through 2 ptsThey appeared no place near it via 3 quarters against the Hawks, yet after that told every person of the value of celebrities. Toby Greene is quite really good, it appears. Prospective Coleman winner Jesse Hogan has actually been actually fantastic for 18 months. And also Brent Daniels, one of their even more underrated superstars throughout their recent effectiveness, was actually a large consider the comeback along with a whopping 12 last-quarter disposals. Given the Lions' protective absentees is there some chance Hogan as well as the staff get a hold of the Brisbane back 6 and draw a significant trouble on Sunday? They are actually gon na need to win one more video game to play finals footy (as well as it may also be tight on 14 wins) so they might also acquire it carried out ASAP.This week: Brisbane Lions at the Gabba, Saturday 1:45 pmKingsley kindles healthy GWS settings|02:167. CARLTON (12-8, 112.1%) Last week: Positioned 5th, dropped to Collingwood through 3 ptsWe're going to always keep caring about the Blues until they compel our palm, because there's still a lot going their method. Yes they have actually dropped four of their last five games, but 3 of those were actually just by a couple of targets, as well as final Sunday night was actually literally determined through a kick. Perhaps extra significantly they are still the No. 1 group in the AFL for aspects from turnover differential - one of the most significant racking up source. A monstrous 19 of the last 20 groups to place No. 1 during that stat have actually created a preparatory last or even better. They are actually predisposed, given that they are actually 16th for aspects from open spaces over the last six weeks, however you 'd rather be actually turnover-focused (as they are this year) than stoppage-focused (as they were in 2015). It will be close to a catastrophe if this crew missed the eight, provided the assumptions as well as where they were actually only a month ago, yet 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: Positioned 6th, def Adelaide by 5 ptsFunny exactly how the Felines are actually each rather well-placed in a tight finals nationality and providing our company much less peace of mind in their quality simultaneously. The margin most likely shouldn't have been actually pretty that tight against Adelaide, however it was actually, as well as our experts probably need to stop referring to Kardinia Park as a citadel - offered they are actually 5-3 at home, 2 of those victories getting single finger scopes. Yet once more, they're well-placed on 13 victories as well as with West Coastline in your home to follow in the final round. Pinch a get the Dockers or Street Kilda just before that, and they are actually properly and definitely safe in the eight. There are actually still some explanations for confidence, like Patrick Dangerfield locating form and also the midfield carrying out quite possibly total against the Crows, plus the protection has stood up well over the last 6 weeks (No. 5 for factors yielded). Yet despite the fact that the top four is actually available, they do not seem like a top four team.This week: Fremantle at Optus Coliseum, Sunday 4:35 pmRobbo discloses Tomahawks' highest qualities|03:489. HAWTHORN (11-9, 104.1%) Last week: Rated 7th, lost to GWS by 2 ptsSunday's game is the most essential for any one staff our experts have actually seen so far in 2024. That is actually due to the fact that Hawthorn's outcome versus Carlton will properly decide their period. They have actually received an agape pathway to 14 wins along with a victory, and also no crew has actually even missed out on the best eight along with thirteen triumphes just before. However lose and also they're perhaps visiting be pair of games away from the 8 with 2 to play, an almost unrealizable setting. They are actually still doing a whole lot right yet the problem we understood concerning entering the period, their defence, stands out at a bad time - over the last 6 weeks they're No. 1 for inside 50s versus, but 17th for ratings every inside fifty against. Thus teams aren't ascertaining certainly there much, yet when they carry out, they are actually racking up at will. There's a little misery in that yet it is actually certainly not all fortune. As we've composed in the past, regardless of whether the Hawks miss out on the finals this period has been actually incredible, yet jeez it will be actually disheartening when they're thus near to among the most ideal tales in years.This week: Carlton at the MCG, Sunday 1:10 pm10. ESSENDON (11-8-1, 95.9%) Last week: Rated 12th, def Fremantle through 1 ptTurns out our team forgot exactly how essential Darcy Parish is actually to this staff. After a quiet initial activity back he was great against a star-studded Freo midfield. With him this season, the Bombers are actually +20 for open spaces and also +18 from center allowances without him they're -17 and +4 respectively. That gain Freo might get all of them right into the finals however there is actually likewise an authentic chance somebody misses out on along with 14 success, particularly if the Hawks beat Carlton this weekend, and also for the Bombing planes their draw and their inadequate percentage have the same result of creating them lose sudden deaths. It will be actually rather brutal if they succeeded 13 and a half games and also missed out however concurrently, this is what occurs when you drop to non-finalists Melbourne, Adelaide as well as Street Kilda - you participate in them.This week: Gold Shoreline Suns at Wonder Coliseum, Saturday 7:30 pm' He's sheltering them from the tension'|03:0311. COLLINGWOOD (10-8-2, 100.2%) Recently: Rated 13th, def Carlton through 2 ptsSo the question is, are they back? They require to be near their best to create the 8 hence - Melbourne will not be betting just about anything in Cycle 24 so you would certainly assume the Magpies gain that a person, yet dealing with the top 2 over the upcoming two full weeks is actually fairly tough. Possibly they've timed this clash with Sydney well, but our team are actually certainly not convinced Collingwood suffices to beat the ladder innovators, even in this particular stressed condition. It deserves taking note the Magpies are simply 16th for inside 50s over the final 6 weeks, yet 3rd for scores per inside fifty, thus performance is keeping them going. Their support has been no place near acceptable over that duration so they're mosting likely to need to take their chances to cease the Swans, and if they carry out, after that the other challengers will begin to stress. Nobody intends to face a revitalized Magpies in September.This week: Sydney Swans at the SCG, Friday 7:40 pmMagpies seek finals locate versus swans|00:3012. MELBOURNE (10-10, 97.9%) Last week: Placed 10th, dropped to Western Bulldogs by 51 ptsFor the very first time this decade the Demons will move right into the AFL season's lifeless region, playing out the chain along with nothing on the line. In a way, being properly away from the finals ethnicity should be liberating - they can bet 2025, trialling players in brand new settings and also sending out aching players in for very early surgical procedures. After all examine Geelong and also Fremantle, that transformed extremely unsatisfactory 2023 seasons right into probably 2024 finals berths you can't count out the capacity of staffs who have actually had effectiveness to only recuperate a year later. Heck, Collingwood is the very best example. Every one of this is why our company're certainly not overreacting concerning Melbourne's situation certainly not till midway through next year, anyway.This week: Port Adelaide at the MCG, Sunday 7:30 pm13. GOLD SHORES SUNSHINES (9-11, 100.4%) Recently: Rated 11th, dropped to West Coast through 10 ptsTheir home-away split is actually truly astonishing. Home ground perk is actually intended to be worth an objective or more - not turn you coming from downright rubbish right into a top-four challenger! We know our experts have actually been actually blogging about this all year however the account has coincided all year ... similar to the account of 'kinda residing in the blend with 5-6 rounds left and then collapsing' has been the same for this entire club for season after time. Acquire a brand new gimmick!This full week: Essendon at Marvel Arena, Sunday 7:30 pmBuckley rules himself away from Eagles work|01:1814. ADELAIDE CROWS (7-12-1, 99.8%) Last week: Placed 15th, dropped to Geelong through 5 ptsThis week: Western Bulldogs at Adelaide Oval, Sunday 4:10 pm15. ST KILDA (8-12, 94.9%) Recently: Rated 14th, dropped to Brisbane by 85 ptsThis full week: Richmond at Marvel Coliseum, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, as our company stated last week, these crews certainly never possess the same result in the exact same weekend break! Thus after Adelaide's loss on Saturday it's time to check out the scores for the Saints' game and-ah. Straight. Don't bother. Of what it costs the Crows possibly weren't comparable to the scoreboard suggested, obtaining belted in the contest by a less-than-impressive Geelong midfield, so they were actually each below par. Let's observe if either crew can easily participate in spoiler over the ultimate 3 full weeks - the Saints might wreck Carlton or even Geelong's season, while the Crows could hurt the Pet dogs but more significantly will adore to mess up Port's. Riewoldt explains Dusty's well known career|04:1316. WEST COASTLINE EAGLES (4-16, 70%) Last week: Rated 18th, def Gold Shoreline through 10 ptsThis full week: North Melbourne at Blundstone Field, Sunday 1:45 pm17. NORTH MELBOURNE (3-17, 67%) Last week: Placed 17th, def Richmond through 16 ptsThis week: West Coastline Eagles at Blundstone Stadium, Saturday 1:45 pm18. RICHMOND (2-18, 64.7%) Recently: Positioned 16th, shed to North Melbourne by 16 ptsThis week: Street Kilda at Wonder Arena, Sunday 3:20 pmWell, the two-week Spoonbowl is actually possibly over, along with Richmond in fact deserving the win over North - they gained the game on anticipated credit rating, off the back of 60 inside 50s to 44 - yet booting themselves right into the No. 1 pick. (Which is actually possibly advantageous long-term.) Though to become decent, it's achievable the Kangaroos have in fact understood goalkicking, given they are actually No. 1 in the AFL for reliability this year. West Coast at the same time was actually correctly impressive versus a group having fun for it time, along with a season-high tension rating and also their third-best opposed properties gain for the year. Because Jarrad Schofield took over the Eagles have actually gone coming from 17th in the AFL for pressure to eighth, which is actually a respectable indication they are actually playing for him. Currently all eyes rely on North's try to end up outside all-time low 2 for the very first time this decade - while it will still go down to portion, they 'd be in a really good setting along with a gain in Hobart.
