West Coast Eagles v Essendon 
OS , 6:10pm AWST Thursday, June 21, 2018
This might be over in Perth but no JJK and no Darling will make things difficult for the Eagles. Adam Simpson’s men won’t want to make a habit of losing as a top 2 spot is crucial for their finals campaign. Woosha says he has the chemistry right at the Dons now and this will be the night to show it.
Port Adelaide v Melbourne 
AO , 7:20pm ACST Friday, June 22, 2018
Are Melbourne the real deal or not? They were in blistering form until the Pies brought them crashing back to Earth on the Queen’s Birthday. If they can bounce back to beat Port Adelaide at Adelaide Oval we’ll have to take notice again though.
Hawthorn v Gold Coast Suns 
US , 1:45pm AEST Saturday, June 23, 2018
Hawthorn currently sit outside the eight on percentage alone and the Suns will be taking them on at their Tasmanian fortress. This could get ugly. The Suns will be praying for a deluge of rain because you know Clarko will be driving his men to score heavily.
Brisbane Lions v Greater Western Sydney Giants
G , 4:35pm AEST Saturday, June 23, 2018
The Giants similar to the Hawks are a team outside the eight that will feel like they really don’t belong there. The Lions at the Gabba are not the pushovers they once were. They dominated Hawthorn and really pushed both Sydney and Essendon. Harris Andrews v Jeremy Cameron is an intriguing match up.
Western Bulldogs v North Melbourne 
ES , 7:25pm AEST Saturday, June 23, 2018
Macrae OUT, Wood OUT, Webb OUT, Bontempelli and McLean both under fitness clouds. Injuries have rained down upon Whitten Oval in 2018 and Saturday night and Etihad it could culminate in a perfect storm for the Kangaroos. North Melbourne will be without Jarrad Waite but expect to regain dynamic midfielder Jed Anderson.
Collingwood v Carlton
MCG , 3:20pm AEST Sunday, June 24, 2018
This is a statement game. For the Pies a spot in the top four is wide open. The Blues just simply need to do something that says last week’s showing against Fremantle is not what the club is about. Brendan Bolton’s midfield is going to need to play beyond its years to match Collingwood around the contest.
