A public holiday game at the “G” with the Big Freeze. Now we need Melbourne to regain form and respectability after two inglorious performances to make this an entertaining game. Too much to ask?

Essendon (8-3-1) v Carlton (8-4)

Should be a good game.

The Swans (10-1)  v Geelong (8-4)

Gold Coast in the top 8 and looking to maintain their spot. St Kilda will be trying to gain some momentum after last start victory.

16th v 18th. With no Reid, will Clarko’s men finally notch their first win of the year?

The Hawks have turned the corner while The Giants are missing a wheel or two. Down in Tassie, I reckon Hawthorn’s a great chance!
