The AFLs chasing pack has smelled blood and theyre coming.Sides are lining up to replace Hawthorn on top of the ladder after the three-time reigning premiers were humbled by Melbourne on Saturday.The next four clubs - Sydney, Adelaide, Geelong and Greater Western Sydney - each recorded their 14th win of the season at the weekend as the finals race explodes.As it stands, every prize remains up for grabs - the minor premiership, the home qualifying final and the double chance of finishing in the top four.West Coast and the Western Bulldogs, four points further back, arent out of the equation either, after the Eagles derby victory and the Dogs win over North Melbourne.The Hawks are a game clear on top but have the worst percentage in the top five, meaning another loss will send them south.The second-placed Swans are best poised to pounce after a 67-point win over Port Adelaide.Midfielder Luke Parker said Sydneys rise had everything to do with their depth.If Im having a bit of an off game then Hanners (Dan Hannebery) and Joey (Kennedy) and Kieren Jack will stand up, he said.If theyre having an off game then blokes like Tommy Mitchell and even the young boys pick up the slack.Its comforting to know that I can play with my confidence but knowing if Im off then someone else can do the work.The Swans will only get stronger with the return of key man Kurt Tippett, who Parker had slated for a for a round 22 return.Last week he was doing some pretty heavy running load and running a pretty good pace, Parker told the Nine Network.Hopefully he gets two games under his belt and hes right to slot straight back in for finals and be back to his best.The Giants survived a scare against lowly Gold Coast, winning by eight at Metricon Stadium, while Hawthorns other rivals did it easily.Geelong eased to a 66-point win over bottom side Essendon on Sunday, while Adelaide boosted their percentage with a 138-point mauling of Brisbane Lions.Crows coach Don Pyke called it a professional showing. In truth, it was terrifying.The leagues best scorers look unstoppable on their day and only play sides below them in a soft run-in.At the bottom end of the top eight, North Melbourne missed a good chance to lock up a slice of September action by losing to the Bulldogs by 14 points.With matches against Hawthorn, GWS and Sydney to come, the unthinkable is still a possibility for Brad Scotts side, which started the year with nine straight wins.Three sides could yet replace North in the finals series.St Kilda, which belted Carlton by 71 points on Sunday, Port Adelaide and Melbourne.The Power and Demons meet next Saturday night in a clash that will end one of their hopes for 2016.

Powell bounced back from a heavy defeat against world champion Kayla Harrison to secure third place in the -78kg category, while team-mate Gemma Gibbons finished fifth.The British duo had to fight each other at the quarter-final stage and it was Powell who claimed the victory - she threw her team-mate for yuko before getting the hold down and taking the contest by ippon. That left Powell to face American judoka Harrison for a place in the final, but the Briton had no answer to a fierce attack just over a minute into the bout, and an ippon throw meant victory for the world champion.Gibbons, silver medalist at London 2012, went into the repechage final against Italys Assunta Galeone and did well to claim victory via waza-ari after having fallen a yuko down in the early stages.That meant broonze medal fights for both British judoka, but Gibbons was unable to overcome world No 3 Guusje Steenhuis from the Netherlands - Steenhuis managed to get a single yuko and that proved enough for a narrow victory.ddddddddddddut there was better news for Powell, who secured a pair of waza-ari throws against Chinas Zhehui Zhang to secure a medal in the final event counting for Olympic qualification.Powell said: Its really good to finish the qualification on a high note.
