North jumped out of the blocks last week but couldn’t go on with it. Essendon eked out a win in the dying seconds against cellar dwellers West Coast. I think this game will be a lot closer than it appears on paper.

On a 4-game winning streak, The Swans are so hot right now. Playing at home, I expect they’ll snuff out The Suns’ chances of playing finals this season.

Holy guacamole what a game this promises to be! The Pies are looking wobbly after 2 straight losses and will be without star, Nick Daicos. The Cats are battling to get into the 8 and you can be sure Chris Scott was taking notes on how Carlton and Hawthorn dismantled his opponents tonight.

2 weeks ago this would’ve been one of the easier tips for the round. But then Freo knocked off Geelong at home and Brisbane lost against Gold Coast. Beware the Purple Haze!

On form, Carlton should come out on top today. But St Kilda are a bogey side for the Blues so I’ll be watching this one with a fair degree of nerves.

North couldn’t get it done against The Eagles last week so you’d struggle to envisage them beating The Dees today. But hey, its a funny game football and anything can happen.

The last team to beat GWS was the Tigers on June 4. They’re flying right now and I don’t think The Swans will be able to match them.

Port have got the Power wobbles right now having lost 3 in a row. Geelong lost at home to Fremantle last week. Who will make less errors tonight?

The bake Sam Mitchell gave his boys last week should motivate them through to the end of the season. They’ve got the motivation, do they have the skills and the structures to knock off the ladder-leading Pies?

Both teams had good wins over Top 4 teams last week but you’d think the home ground advantage would be enough to get The Crows the chocolates.
