North Melbourne v Brisbane Lions
ES, 1:10pm AEST Sunday, June 3, 2018
1,285 days after he was drafted Paul Ahern is set to make his debut for North Melbourne 
on Sunday. The surprise team of 2018 takes on a reinvigorated Brisbane outfit at Etihad. The Lions are playing for pride while North are now eyeing finals.
Collingwood v Fremantle
MCG, 3:20pm AEST Sunday, June 3, 2018
Collingwood are back into the top 8 for the first time in five rounds and Buckley’s men will
be planning to make things hard for the travelling Dockers. Three players are debuting on Sunday with Brody Mihocek named at centre half forward for Collingwood while Stefan Giro and Scott Jones will both be in purple for the first time.
Adelaide Crows v GWS Giants
AO, 4:10pm ACST Sunday, June 3, 2018
High stakes at the Adelaide Oval. Two top four teams from 2017 will be desperate for a win 
in the last game of the Sir Doug Nicholls Indigenous Round. The Giants’ four game losing streak has seen them drop out of the top eight and if the Crows don’t get over them at home they’ll be joining them.
