Game One of Nine

Collingwood showed how good they are when they obliterated the Suns in Round 16.
Game Three of Nine

This is a game that the Lions will want to win comprehensively.
Game Four of Nine
GWS Giants v Hawthorn
This is an intriguing game as they as the Giants will be looking to keep their finals hopes alive.
Game Five of Nine
St Kilda v Melbourne Demons
St Kilda should win this game as Melbourne are battling to kick a winning score.
Game Six of Nine
Port Adelaide v Gold Coast Suns
The Suns will go into this game looking to improve on their display in Round 16 when they were thrashed by Collingwood. The Suns should look to bounce back.
Game Seven of Nine
Geelong Cats v North Melbourne
North Melbourne go into this game with nothing to lose. They’re expected to lose this game, but don’t discount them from causing an upset, if they can win the midfield battle and get the ball down to the likes of Nick Larkey.
Game Eight of Nine
Essendon v Adelaide Crows
Essendon may have lost in Round 16, but they didn’t lose any fans, in their loss to Port Adelaide. Round 17 against the Crows is a game that Essendon should be desperate to win as they need to finish in the top eight.
Game Nine of Nine
Fremantle Dockers v Carlton
Carlton should win this game as their performance has been good in their last two games.
