Game One of Nine
Brisbane Lions v Richmond
Richmond have been rejuvenated under interim coach Andrew McQualter. They have the capability to cause an upset.
Game Two of Nine
Sydney Swans v Geelong Cats
This is a difficult game to pick a winner in. The Swans should gain plenty of belief from their 171-point win over the Eagles in Round 15.
Game Three of Nine
Adelaide Crows v North Melbourne
The Crows should win this game based on the way in which they played in Round 15 against Collingwood.
Game Four of Nine
Western Bulldogs v Fremantle Dockers
This is a difficult game to predict a winner in. Despite that, the Dockers should win as they have the opportunity to build on their win over Essendon.
Game Five of Nine
Gold Coast Suns v Collingwood
The Suns must continue to win in what will prove to be a tough challenge for them.
Game Six of Nine
Essendon v Port Adelaide
Essendon can cause an upset if they play to their optimum level.
Game Seven of Nine
Hawthorn v Carlton
It’s difficult to get a read on either of these teams. It’s going to be tough for Hawthorn to win this game without James Sicily.
Game Eight of Nine
Melbourne Demons v GWS Giants
The Giants should win this game as they are playing a good brand of footy.
Game Nine of Nine
West Coast Eagles v St Kilda
This game should be a one-sided contest as St Kilda could obliterate the Eagles as the Eagles are coming off a 171-point loss against the Swans in Round 15.
