(Collingwood) v Richmond
(Hawthorn) v North Melbourne

St Kilda v (Essendon)
Port Adelaide v (Adelaide Crows)
(Gold Coast Suns) v Geelong Cats
Melbourne Demons v (Sydney Swans)
Fremantle Dockers v (West Coast Eagles)
Game One of Nine
Western Bulldogs v Brisbane Lions
Western Bulldogs need to attack this game with vigour. It’s a season defining game for them, as they would be disappointed with the first two games.
Game Two of Nine
Collingwood v Richmond
Collingwood must keep the intensity up as their morale should be high, following two good performances.
Game Three of Nine
Hawthorn v North Melbourne
Hawthorn could cause an upset against North Melbourne, who will be without their co-captain, Jy Simpkin.
Game Four of Nine
GWS Giants v Carlton
Carlton should win this game given they’ve played well in Round 1 and 2.
Game Five of Nine
St Kilda v Essendon
Essendon could cause an upset against an undermanned St Kilda team. The game will be won and lost in the midfield.
Game Six of Nine
Port Adelaide v Adelaide Crows
Adelaide Crows need to improve their goalkicking if they’re a chance of winning in Round 3. The manner in which they’ve played in the first two games has been good, despite losing.
Game Seven of Nine
Gold Coast Suns v Geelong Cats
Gold Coast Suns won’t get a better chance to beat an undermanned Geelong Cats team. It’s a must win for both teams and perhaps a season defining game for both teams, given they’ve both lost their first two games.
Game Eight of Nine
Melbourne Demons v Sydney Swans
This will be the Sydney Swans first true test of the season. They’ve obliterated their opposition in the first two games of the season.
Game Nine of Nine
Fremantle Dockers v West Coast Eagles
Fremantle Dockers need to win this game. Unfortunately, it appears unlikely they will based on their performances in the first two games of the season.
