Annual Change in HC&SA Regional Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted, Full-Year Change for 2018-2022, Year-to-Date Change in 2023)

HWDC Releases June 2023 Health Workforce Brief Series 2: Regional and Sectoral Employment

The Department of Health Professions' Healthcare Workforce Data Center has released the June 2023 issue of its Virginia Health Care Workforce Brief Series 2: Regional and Sectoral Employment. Data in this Brief is not seasonally adjusted.

According to preliminary estimates, both Northern Virginia and Hampton Roads enjoyed very strong Health Care & Social Assistance (HC&SA) employment growth in May. Northern Virginia’s HC&SA sector experienced the largest job gain in May as this region increased HC&SA employment by 1,500 during the month. This increase in Northern Virginia’s HC&SA employment represents a one-month annualized employment growth rate of 12.8%. So far this year, Northern Virginia has increased HC&SA employment by 2,100. This represents the largest year-to-date HC&SA regional employment gain in the state. Hampton Roads enjoyed even faster HC&SA employment growth during the month. In May, Hampton Roads’ HC&SA sector created 1,400 new jobs, a gain that translates into an 18.4% annualized employment growth rate. Hampton Roads is also experiencing the fastest long-term job growth in the state thanks to a 12-month employment growth rate of 5.7%. As for Richmond, this region created 200 new HC&SA jobs in May, thereby increasing HC&SA employment for the fourth time in the past five months. On the other hand, HC&SA employment in the Rest of Virginia fell by 200 during the month.

Regional HC&SA employment highlights are included in the table below (in thousands of employees):

Region May 2022 May 2023 YOY Growth Virginia 459.1 473.7 3.2% Hampton Roads 94.9 100.3 5.7% Northern Virginia 146.3 150.1 2.6% Richmond 85.3 86.5 1.4% Rest of Virginia 132.6 136.8 3.2%

Ambulatory Health Care Services enjoyed its fourth consecutive month of positive employment growth after creating 2,300 new jobs in May. This job gain represents a one-month annualized employment growth rate of 14.2%. This increase also represents the largest monthly employment gain in Ambulatory Health Care Services since last July. With this gain, Ambulatory Health Care Services have increased employment by 3,000 so far this year. This year-to-date job gain exceeds the comparable increase from Virginia’s three other HC&SA subsectors combined. Meanwhile, Social Assistance enjoyed even more impressive job growth during the month. In May, Social Assistance created 1,800 new jobs across the state, which translates into a 31.6% annualized employment growth rate. As for Nursing & Residential Care Facilities and Hospitals, these two HC&SA subsectors lost 1,100 and 100 jobs, respectively, in May. Regardless, both of these HC&SA subsectors are enjoying strong long-term employment growth. Over the past year, Nursing & Residential Care Facilities have increased employment by 7.2%, while Hospitals have created jobs at a 4.3% rate.

Additional employment highlights by HC&SA subsector are included in the table below (in thousands of employees):

Subsector May 2022 May 2023 YOY Growth Total HC&SA 459.1 473.7 3.2% Ambulatory Health Care 203.6 209.1 2.7% Hospitals 106.0 110.6 4.3% Nursing & Residential Care 69.5 74.5 7.2% Social Assistance 80.0 79.5 -0.6%

US freight transportation services index rises by 1.4% in Feb 2023

INSIGHTS

The US freight transportation services index rose by 1.4 per cent in February over January, rising after a month's decline, according to the Bureau of Transportation Statistics.

From February last year to February this year, the index fell by 0.8 per cent.

The rise was due to seasonally-adjusted increases in rail intermodal, water, air freight and trucking.

The US freight transportation services index (TSI) rose by 1.4 per cent in February this year over January, rising after a one month decline, according to the US department of transportation’s Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS). From February last year to February this year, the index fell by 0.8 per cent.

Freight TSI is based on the amount of freight carried by the for-hire US transportation industry.

The level of for-hire freight shipments in February measured by the freight TSI (138.7) was 2 per cent below the all-time high level of 141.5 in August last year.

The January index was revised to 136.8 from 137.8 in last month's release.

The freight TSI increased due to seasonally-adjusted increases in rail intermodal, water, air freight and trucking, while rail carload and pipeline declined.

‘Glass body + eating’ Barsa star, 205.3 billion won → 27.3 billion won fall… A whopping 178 billion won cut

토토 사이트, 카지노 사이트, 파워볼 사이트, 온라인 카지노, 토토먹튀,파워볼먹튀,카지노먹튀

There is a growing possibility that Philippe Coutinho will remain as the worst strikeout in FC Barcelona's history.

European soccer statistics media 'Transfermarkt' highlighted the players whose ransom price fell significantly compared to the initial stage of joining.

Among them, Coutinho was the most serious. When Coutinho moved from Liverpool to Barça in January 2018, his ransom peaked at 150 million euros (about 205.3 billion won). The transfer fee was 135 million euros (about 184.7 billion won), which was the club's highest transfer fee. The expectations were so high.

However, after coming to Barcelona, Coutinho's career and ransom continued to decline. He suffered from frequent injuries as well as failure to adapt. Although he went on loan to Bayern Munich, Coutinho's performance did not improve.

This season, Coutinho's sluggishness and injuries continue to spin like a wheel. Currently, Barça, which is already difficult due to financial difficulties, is deepening the wrinkles. Currently, his ransom has dropped to €130 million (about 178 billion won), down to 20 million euros (about 27.3 billion won).

Eden Hazard (Real Madrid), who is on a sluggish journey with Coutinho, also received a whopping 125 million euros (about 171 billion won) cut, and Antoine Griezmann (Atlético Madrid) also got 100 million euros (about 171 billion won). 136.8 billion won) could not avoid the shame of being cut.

Annual Change in HC&SA Regional Employment (Not Seasonally Adjusted, Full-Year Change for 2016-2020, Year-to-Date Change for 2021)

HWDC Releases May 2021 Health Workforce Brief Series 2: Regional and Sectoral Employment

The Department of Health Professions' Healthcare Workforce Data Center has released the May 2021 issue of its Virginia Health Care Workforce Brief Series 2: Regional and Sectoral Employment. Data in this Brief is not seasonally adjusted.

According to preliminary estimates, Northern Virginia enjoyed very strong Health Care & Social Assistance (HC&SA) employment growth during the month. In April, Northern Virginia’s HC&SA sector created 1,300 new jobs. This gain represents a one-month annualized employment growth rate of 12.1%. This region’s 12-month HC&SA employment growth rate has been even more impressive. Over the past year, Northern Virginia has created 17,000 HC&SA jobs, which translates into a 14.2% annualized employment growth rate. Richmond and the Rest of Virginia also experienced increases in HC&SA employment in April, although these gains were considerably more modest in size. Richmond’s HC&SA sector created 200 new jobs, which represents a one-month annualized employment growth rate of 2.9%. As for the Rest of Virginia, this region increased HC&SA employment by 100 during the month, a gain that translates into a 0.9% growth rate. Meanwhile, Hampton Roads experienced a decline in HC&SA employment in April as this region lost 400 HC&SA jobs during the month.

Regional HC&SA employment highlights are included in the table below (in thousands of employees):

Region Apr. 2020 Apr. 2021 YOY Growth Virginia 409.5 444.6 8.6% Hampton Roads 86.5 90.4 4.5% Northern Virginia 119.8 136.8 14.2% Richmond 77.8 82.8 6.4% Rest of Virginia 125.4 134.6 7.3%

Ambulatory Health Care Services enjoyed their fifth consecutive month of positive employment growth in April, adding 1,600 new jobs to the state’s economy during the month. This gain represents a strong one-month annualized employment growth rate of 10.4%. This HC&SA subsector has experienced the strongest rebound in employment during the post-lockdown economic recovery period. Over the past 12 months, Ambulatory Health Care Services have created a total of 30,500 jobs, thereby recovering the entirety of the 29,900 jobs that were lost in this HC&SA subsector in March and April of last year. Social Assistance enjoyed its third consecutive month of positive employment growth in April thanks to the creation of 800 new jobs during the month. This increase translates into an impressive one-month annualized employment growth rate of 13.4%. Meanwhile, Virginia’s two other HC&SA subsectors continue to face challenges with respect to generating any significant job growth. Nursing & Residential Care Facilities lost 1,100 jobs in April, while Hospitals saw employment fall by 100 during the month.

Additional employment highlights by HC&SA subsector are included in the table below (in thousands of employees):

Subsector Apr. 2020 Apr. 2021 YOY Growth Total HC&SA 409.5 444.6 8.6% Ambulatory Health Care 163.5 194.0 18.7% Hospitals 104.2 104.1 -0.1% Nursing & Residential Care 74.0 69.8 -5.7% Social Assistance 67.8 76.7 13.1%

NFL Panic Index 2017, Week 11: Injuries may derail Cowboys’ entire season

The Seahawks are pretty much in the same boat.

The Cowboys missed Ezekiel Elliott against the Falcons in Week 10. But they missed left tackle Tyron Smith even more, and it showed.

You’ve got to expect some lapses when a backup takes over on Dak Prescott’s blind side while the best left tackle in the league is sidelined with groin and back injuries. But nobody expected Chaz Green to be quite as bad as he was. Green was benched after giving up four of Adrian Clayborn’s six sacks on Sunday. His replacement, Byron Bell, promptly gave up another one after taking over for Green.

And the worst news for Dallas is that Smith may not be ready to go this week against the high-flying Eagles. And they have another glaring hole on the other side of the ball, with linebacker Sean Lee out with a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 3 against the Cardinals.

Having Lee out against the Eagles’ offense is the worst-case scenario for the Cowboys. Philadelphia has the second-best scoring offense in the league with 31.4 points per game. Dallas will particularly miss Lee when the Eagles are running the ball. Philadelphia’s ground attack is ranked fourth in the NFL and averaging 136.8 yards per game.

Panic index: Dak Prescott has proven that he can generally keep the Cowboys competitive. But with Elliott still out serving his six-game suspension and the Cowboys missing key players on both sides of the ball, it’s a rough time to have to face the division rival that just happens to be the best team in the NFC.

Injuries may ruin the Seahawks’ shot at the playoffs

The Seahawks are 6-3 and in the mix in the NFC. But injuries to key players on both sides of the ball raise questions about whether or not Seattle can keep pace in the conference.

Last Thursday’s win over the Cardinals was particularly devastating. All-Pro cornerback Richard Sherman was lost for the rest of the season with a ruptured Achilles. Left tackle Duane Brown, starting his second game for Seattle after being acquired from Houston before the trade deadline, left the game with an ankle injury. His status for Sunday’s game against the Falcons is uncertain.

Earl Thomas may make it back for Week 11 after being sidelined with a hamstring injury for the Seahawks’ last two games. Kam Chancellor’s status is up in the air after suffering a stinger against the Cardinals. Running back Chris Carson has been on injured reserve, but is a candidate to return. Left guard Luke Joeckel has been out recovering from minor knee surgery. Both may be able to play this week, but there’s no guarantee.

And even if Duane Brown and Joeckel are both healthy enough to play, it may make for a shaky left side of the line against a Falcons defense that sacked Dak Prescott eight times last week.

Panic index: The Seahawks need to keep pace with the 7-2 Rams. That’s going to be a much bigger challenge with so many key players banged up. Might be time to panic.

The Bills’ playoff drought will tack on another year

It was only two weeks ago when the Bills were 5-2, and looking like they might actually be able to challenge the Patriots in the AFC East.

Early season wins against the Broncos and Falcons impressed, but the Bills have lost consecutive games to the Jets and Saints. Neither game was really close, either.

“We haven’t given the fans a lot to be excited about the last two weeks,” center Eric Wood said, via WGR 550 Sports Radio. He added, “It’s a long season and we’ve played good ball this year so we can’t go into the tank at this point. We’re sitting at 5-4. We have a lot of football ahead of us and a great opportunity still.”

The Bills still have to play the Patriots twice, in Weeks 13 and 16. They also have to travel to Kansas City and play the Dolphins twice. That’s not exactly an easy slate of games.

Panic index: They’re still in the playoff hunt, but we know how this movie ends — at home watching other teams play in January and February.

Tom Savage vs. Blaine Gabbert is the QB matchup we never wanted

There are very few, if any, quarterback matchups that you could conceive that would be less watchable than this one. The Texans and Cardinals are facing off in Week 11. A few weeks ago, we’d be looking forward to Deshaun Watson attempt to go after Patrick Peterson. Now, we get to watch Tom Savage do his “best.”

To show the difference in the Texans’ offense:

Texans offense by QB: * Deshaun Watson - 5.8 yards per play * Tom Savage - 3.8 yards per play That gap is greater than the difference between the best offense (Chiefs) and worst offense (Ravens) in the NFL on a per play basis.

— Paul Hembekides (@PaulHembo) November 14, 2017

Drew Stanton, who is already filling in for Carson Palmer, injured his knee against the Seahawks, and he’s questionable to play against the Texans. That would leave us with Blaine Gabbert and his 56 percent career completion rate.

Panic index: There’s still a chance Stanton plays, but even that’s not a whole lot more intriguing than the worst case scenario.

The Lions almost lost to the Browns

The final score is deceiving: 38-24 looks like a comfortable win. The type of victory that no one was sweating too much, but there’s still enough to work on in practice later that week. Instead, the Lions only managed to pull away from the winless Browns late. At home.

The Browns were up 10-0 early, their biggest lead of the season. The score probably should have been tied at half, if not for some major Brownsing happening right before the break that can be summed up with this Hue Jackson GIF:

The Browns even held a lead late in the third quarter, until the Lions tied it up right before the final period, denying Cleveland its first fourth-quarter lead of the season. Then DeShone Kizer, in the midst of his best game as a pro, exited for a few drives, essentially quashing any hope the Browns had at ending all those 0-16 jokes the Lions know far too well.

So even though the Lions got back above .500 with the win, and even though they’re still in striking distance of a wild card spot, how pleased can they be? The Vikings keep rolling and have a two-game lead in the NFC North. The Packers are right there with the Lions at 5-4, despite the absence of Aaron Rodgers.

Detroit gave up 201 rushing yards to Cleveland and needed a signature Matthew Stafford fourth-quarter comeback to beat the worst team in the NFL, in a month that Jim Caldwell owns (yes really).

Maybe it was an off day, it happens. But it was basically what you’d expect a battle of two teams that have never played in a Super Bowl would look like.

Panic index: Forget about Sunday, Lions. Time to win your first championship in 60 years. The soccer world has foretold it.

The last time Italy didn’t make the World Cup, the reigning NFL champions were...the Detroit Lions.

— Paul Carr (@PCarrESPN) November 13, 2017

Yes, Italy will miss the 2018 World Cup, a good omen for the Lions right when they needed it most.

Ben McAdoo has no shame

After following up an embarrassing week of losing to the Rams 51-17, the Giants topped it! They lost to the previously winless 49ers, 31-21.

Ben McAdoo’s reaction? Well... it might not be as strong as you’d expect for a coach whose team is now 1-8.

“I’m not embarrassed by this team,” he said.

He might not be embarrassed, but he might be feeling the heat. He got the dreaded vote of confidence this week from owner John Mara and GM Steve Tisch:

"Ben McAdoo is our head coach and has our support. We are in the midst of an extremely disappointing season. Our performance this year, particularly the past two weeks, is inexcusable and frustrating. While we appreciate that our fans are unhappy with what has occurred, nobody is more upset than we are.

“Our plan is to do what we have always done, which is to not offer a running commentary on the season. It is our responsibility to determine the reasons for our poor performance and at the end of the year, we will evaluate the 2017 season in its entirety and make a determination on how we move forward.”

They gave him the vote of confidence, while also not committing to him next year.

Panic index: If you’re a Giants fan, this nightmare is your life now. At least for seven more games. You could panic, or be happy about your future high draft choice.

Real recommend Man Utd as 'four goal striker in three seasons'...

토토 사이트, 카지노 사이트, 파워볼 사이트, 온라인 카지노, 토토먹튀,파워볼먹튀,카지노먹튀

It's difficult to recover the transfer fee, but let's reduce the weekly wage.'

Real Madrid have decided to dispose of Eden Hazard, 30.

Spain's El Nacional reported on the 5th that "Real have recommended Hazard to Manchester United, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and Newcastle United."

As a result, the sad news spread that all of them had rejected Hazard.

Hazard left Chelsea in the summer of 2019 to join Real. His transfer fee is 100 million euros (136.8 billion won). He appeared in 39 league games over three seasons, scoring only four goals. He has made nine league appearances this season, of which only four are starts. Scoreless in 343 minutes.

According to the media, Hazard is no longer part of the Carlo Ancelotti plan. Real want to sell him in the transfer window this winter. Real also knows they can't recover the money they spent two years ago. I hope to cut down on the payroll expenses that go into him.

The problem is that there are no buyers. It is difficult for the media to find a team to buy Hazard in the winter. Man Utd, Munich, PSG and Newcastle all answered 'no'.

It has been informed that Juventus have plans to loan Hazard, but have to agree on details with Real.

The run home: Your club’s road to September

1. Greater Western Sydney

40 points, (10 wins, three losses), 120.5 per cent In a remarkably even season, the team with the fewest flaws might be the team holding up the premiership cup at the end of the season. And the Giants might best fit that bill. Cracking Saturday night coming up at home to Geelong. Stevie J up against the Cats. Bring the popcorn.

The run home Rd 15: Geelong (Spotless Stadium) Rd 16: Hawthorn (University of Tasmania Stadium) Rd 17: Sydney (Spotless Stadium) Rd 18: Richmond (MCG) Rd 19: Fremantle (Spotless Stadium) Rd 20: Melbourne (Manuka Oval) Rd 21: Western Bulldogs (Etihad Stadium) Rd 22: West Coast (Spotless Stadium) Rd 23: Geelong (Simonds Stadium)

2. Adelaide

36 points, (nine wins, four losses), 136.8 percent The Crows were so disappointing against the Hawks on Thursday that you wouldn’t think them any better than a 50-50 chance in any of their next four games. The story isn’t Rory Sloane and how he deals with a tag – he actually went OK – but more whether the Crows have a plan B. Ahead of Saturday at the MCG, you can imagine how closely Alastair Clarkson’s protégé Brendon Bolton would have studied how the Hawks went about it on Thursday night.

The run home Rd 15: Carlton (MCG) Rd 16: Western Bulldogs (Adelaide Oval) Rd 17: Melbourne (TIO Stadium) Rd 18: Geelong (Adelaide Oval) Rd 19: Collingwood (MCG) Rd 20: Port Adelaide (Adelaide Oval) Rd 21: Essendon (Etihad Stadium) Rd 22: Sydney (Adelaide Oval) Rd 23: West Coast (Domain Stadium)

• Around the state leagues: Who starred in your club’s twos?

3. Geelong

36 points, (nine wins, four losses), 114.0 per cent The Cats have the ‘at home’ part of their club song locked but the ‘far away’ part still needs some work, which is why Saturday night away to the Giants should be a beauty. No Joel Selwood could complicate matters for the Cats, but then again given what they accomplished on Sunday, they are the new ‘any time, any place’ team of the competition and they’ll be itching to get on the plane.

• Fantasy form watch: Danger leaves it late

The run home Rd 15: GWS (Spotless Stadium) Rd 16: Brisbane Lions (Gabba) Rd 17: Hawthorn (MCG) Rd 18: Adelaide (Adelaide Oval) Rd 19: Carlton (Etihad Stadium) Rd 20: Sydney (Simonds Stadium) Rd 21: Richmond (Simonds Stadium) Rd 22: Collingwood (MCG) Rd 23: GWS (Simonds Stadium)

4. Port Adelaide

32 points (eight wins, five losses), 135.4 Tasty Saturday night clash with fellow top-four aspirant Richmond coming up at Adelaide Oval, but the game the Power will have penciled in is round 18 when they return to the MCG to play Melbourne. Port was comfortable at the home of football against the Pies, but the Demons will provide the searching test of whether their gameplan can stand up in September.

The run home Rd 15: Richmond (Adelaide Oval) Rd 16: West Coast (Domain Stadium) Rd 17: North Melbourne (Adelaide Oval) Rd 18: Melbourne (MCG) Rd 19: St Kilda (Adelaide Oval) Rd 20: Adelaide (Adelaide Oval) Rd 21: Collingwood (Adelaide Oval) Rd 22: Western Bulldogs (Eureka Stadium) Rd 23: Gold Coast (Adelaide Oval)

5. Melbourne

32 points (eight wins, five losses), 114.7 per cent That’s four straight wins for the Demons for the first time in 11 years and it is hard to see them missing the finals now. They’re playing too well. And now they get a long overdue and well-deserved Friday night game on Friday against the Swans in what shapes as a cracker. Melbourne hasn’t beaten Sydney since round 17, 2010.

• Nine things we learned from round 14

The run home Rd 15: Sydney (MCG) Rd 16: Carlton (MCG) Rd 17: Adelaide (TIO Stadium) Rd 18: Port Adelaide (MCG) Rd 19: North Melbourne (Blundstone Arena) Rd 20: GWS (Manuka Oval) Rd 21: St Kilda (MCG) Rd 22: Brisbane Lions (MCG) Rd 23: Collingwood (MCG)

The Demons celebrate their incredible win over the Eagles. Picture: AFL Photos

6. Richmond

32 points (eight wins, five losses), 111.7 per cent They don’t blow teams away, the Tigers, and Sunday at the MCG against the Blues was another example of that. Two big games in the next month – Port away next week and then the Giants at the MCG in round 18 – will give us a fair indication of where the Tigers sit this year.

The run home Rd 15: Port Adelaide (Adelaide Oval) Rd 16: St Kilda (Etihad Stadium) Rd 17: Brisbane Lions (Etihad Stadium) Rd 18: GWS (MCG) Rd 19: Gold Coast (Metricon Stadium) Rd 20: Hawthorn (MCG) Rd 21: Geelong (Simonds Stadium) Rd 22: Fremantle (Domain Stadium) Rd 23: St Kilda (MCG)

7. West Coast

28 points, (seven wins, six losses), 102.1 per cent Not even Domain Stadium is a fortress for the Eagles any more, not when they blow a three-goal lead late to lose to Melbourne. It’s back to Victoria for a Saturday afternoon clash with the Western Bulldogs and if they drop that one, they’ll drop out of the eight. And deservedly so according to West Coast’s critics, a group that is growing larger by the week.

The run home Rd 15: Western Bulldogs (Etihad Stadium) Rd 16: Port Adelaide (Domain Stadium) Rd 17: Fremantle (Domain Stadium) Rd 18: Collingwood (Etihad Stadium) Rd 19: Brisbane Lions (Domain Stadium) Rd 20: St Kilda (Etihad Stadium) Rd 21: Carlton (Domain Stadium) Rd 22: GWS (Spotless Stadium) Rd 23: Adelaide (Domain Stadium)

8. St Kilda

28 points (seven wins, six losses), 98.0 per cent Win more than they lose from here and the Saints should play finals. They’ve been patchy on the road this year and they’ll do themselves a huge favour if they beat Fremantle at Domain Stadium next Sunday. They haven’t saluted in Perth since round 10, 2011 and have lost their last six games there. Big, big game for them.

The run home Rd 15: Fremantle (Domain Stadium) Rd 16: Richmond (Etihad Stadium) Rd 17: Essendon (Etihad Stadium) Rd 18: Sydney (SCG) Rd 19: Port Adelaide (Adelaide Oval) Rd 20: West Coast (Etihad Stadium) Rd 21: Melbourne (MCG) Rd 22: North Melbourne (Etihad Stadium) Rd 23: Richmond (MCG)

9.Western Bulldogs

28 points (seven wins, six losses) 97.0 per cent Eight-point game coming up at home to the Eagles and what is emerging is that the Dogs are one of the flakier teams in the competition. They play their best footy at Etihad Stadium, but after the West Coast game they play just three more there including an ‘away’ game to erstwhile MCG club Hawthorn to finish the season. That might come in handy in case they need to win to get in.

The run home Rd 15: West Coast (Etihad Stadium) Rd 16: Adelaide (Adelaide Oval) Rd 17: Carlton (MCG) Rd 18: Gold Coast (Cazalys Stadium) Rd 19: Essendon (Etihad Stadium) Rd 20: Brisbane Lions (Gabba) Rd 21: GWS (Etihad Stadium) Rd 22: Port Adelaide (Eureka Stadium) Rd 23: Hawthorn (Etihad Stadium)

10. Sydney

24 points (six wins, seven losses) 105.2 per cent The Swans are alive, thanks in part to two most recent opponents (Richmond and Essendon) who couldn’t close things out. The Swans need to win six of their last nine to make the finals and it starts Friday night at the MCG with their biggest clash against Melbourne since the 1987 first semi-final. They still have to visit Spotless Stadium, Simonds Stadium and Adelaide Oval, so don’t go penciling them into the finals just yet.

The run home Rd 15: Melbourne (MCG) Rd 16: Gold Coast (SCG) Rd 17: GWS (Spotless Stadium) Rd 18: St Kilda (SCG) Rd 19: Hawthorn (MCG) Rd 20: Geelong (Simonds Stadium) Rd 21: Fremantle (SCG) Rd 22: Adelaide (Adelaide Oval) Rd 23: Carlton (SCG)

11. Essendon

24 points (six wins, seven losses) 102.6 per cent If the Bombers narrowly miss the finals, there will no prizes for guessing the game that cost them. Not even the Leigh Matthews Rule – if you are more goals ahead than there are minutes left rule you’re safe – helped them on Friday night at the SCG. The Bombers could do some awful things to the Brisbane Lions on Sunday, but every game after that shapes as at least an even money bet. This will be a white-knuckle ride to September.

The run home Rd 15: Brisbane Lions (Etihad Stadium) Rd 16: Collingwood (MCG) Rd 17: St Kilda (Etihad Stadium) Rd 18: North Melbourne (Etihad Stadium) Rd 19: Western Bulldogs (Etihad Stadium) Rd 20: Carlton (MCG) Rd 21: Adelaide (Etihad Stadium) Rd 22: Gold Coast (Metricon Stadium) Rd 23: Fremantle (Etihad Stadium)

12. Fremantle

24 points, (six wins, seven losses) 79.6 per cent If the Dockers bring the same level of intensity to the remainder of their games for 2017 as they did to Geelong on Sunday they’ll win more than they lose and they’ll be in the finals mix until the final weekend of the season. Big Western Derby in three weeks, with the winner likely to deal the loser a severe blow.

The run home Rd 15: St Kilda (Domain Stadium) Rd 16: North Melbourne (Etihad Stadium) Rd 17: West Coast (Domain Stadium) Rd 18: Hawthorn (Domain Stadium) Rd 19: GWS (Spotless Stadium) Rd 20: Gold Coast (Domain Stadium) Rd 21: Sydney (SCG) Rd 22: Richmond (Domain Stadium) Rd 23: Essendon (Etihad Stadium)

13. Collingwood

20 points (five wins, eight losses) 98.9 per cent No official concession from the Pies yet, but Saturday showed that they’re not quite good enough in 2017. Really, the game could have been over by quarter-time. They play the Hawks on Sunday for the honour of remaining in this column for at least another week.

The run home Rd 15: Hawthorn (MCG) Rd 16: Essendon (MCG) Rd 17: Gold Coast (Metricon Stadium) Rd 18: West Coast (Etihad Stadium) Rd 19: Adelaide (MCG) Rd 20: North Melbourne (Etihad Stadium) Rd 21: Port Adelaide (Adelaide Oval) Rd 22: Geelong (MCG) Rd 23: Melbourne (MCG)

14. Gold Coast

20 points (five wins, eight losses) 86.7 per cent It has been a disappointing couple of weeks for the Suns after their MCG triumph against the Hawks. They looked good early on against the Saints, but the loss that probably put paid to their finals hopes was probably at home to the Blues last week. It’s going to be hard from here even with Gary Ablett back in the side. Seven wins from their remaining nine games aren’t on their radar.

15. Carlton

20 points (five wins, eight losses) 81.7 per cent The Blues are getting to the stage where they’d be disappointed with their effort against the Tigers on Sunday and Brendon Bolton seemed to suggest as much when he spoke afterwards. Finals are highly unlikely for the Blues, but here’s a game for their fans to pencil in – round 22 against the Hawks who they haven’t beaten since round 6, 2005.

16. Hawthorn

20 points (five wins, eight losses) 79.4 per cent Alastair Clarkson said last week it was “highly unlikely” that the Hawks would play finals yet after a wonderful win in Adelaide, they’re still alive. But they’d need to win seven and given their lousy percentage, possibly eight of their remaining nine games to get in. That ain’t happening, but gee their fans would give anything to beat the Cats in a few weeks on the day Luke Hodge likely plays his 300th game.

• After the siren: Was that the best round ever?

17. North Melbourne

16 points (four wins, nine losses) 93.4 per cent North won its first nine games of last season and in the end, that’s what got the club into the finals. Who knows? Maybe the Kangas can win their last nine of 2017 to get there again.

The run home Rd 15: Gold Coast (Metricon Stadium) Rd 16: Fremantle (Etihad Stadium) Rd 17: Port Adelaide (Adelaide Oval) Rd 18: Essendon (Etihad Stadium) Rd 19: Melbourne (Blundstone Arena) Rd 20: Collingwood (Etihad Stadium) Rd 21: Hawthorn (University of Tasmania Stadium) Rd 22: St Kilda (Etihad Stadium) Rd 23: Brisbane Lions (Gabba)
