CERTAINTIES

Niall Seewang: They may not be in supreme form but West Coast have been consistently been getting the job done and I don't see North being able to back up from last weekend - they'll be deflated after being eliminated from finals contention, while the Eagles still have so much to play for.

Jake Michaels: In a clash of two of the best teams in the competition, I'm taking Richmond to continue their winning streak, and hot form at the MCG. The Tigers should be full strength, with Toby Nankervis and Josh Caddy likely to return and the team as whole starting to play just like we saw in 2017. Christian had some incredible stats about Richmond on the podcast this week, and for me they are premiership favourites.

Matt Walsh: Someone has to take the low-hanging fruit. I'm locking in the Bombers to comfortably handle the Suns, even with Dyson Heppell and Orazio Fantasia under injury clouds and Conor McKenna out, it should be comfortable for the Dons, particularly if they're serious about playing finals.

Christian Joly: This week I'll take West Coast for sure. North were very brave last week, but I think they'll struggle after going to Brisbane and then across to Perth this week.

UPSETS

Niall Seewang: This will be a major upset, but with the Cats wobbling, Sydney are a big chance to snatch a win. They're playing reasonable footy and I think they can overpower the Cats. Wouldn't that shake the ladder up?

Jake Michaels: I can't believe Brisbane are the outsiders this week. I know the Hawks have had a few good weeks, but Brisbane are in top form at the moment and I think they'll win.

Matt Walsh: It's a big week for the Blues. This is essentially their Grand Final, the Crows are in danger of missing finals and I think the Blues, who are in good form, would love to stick the nail in that coffin for them.

Christian Joly: They have been consistently inconsistent, but Port Adelaide have looked good at home, and I think they can give the undermanned Giants a real run for their money.
