RICHMOND v COLLINGWOOD 
MCG , 7:50pm AEST Friday, September 21, 2018
“Tigers flounder as Dusty/Astbury goes missing”
Martin’s training scare and Astbury’s cold were both media beat-ups to try and add a little more drama. The fact of the matter is that Richmond have been unflappable over the last two years, they just go about their business and it’s part of what makes them so hard to beat.
“Pies humiliated, stomped by Tigers”
Our tip is this is going to be any sort of a blow out. Expect a tough and grinding affair. Richmond might pull away in the end but Pies will take it right up to them.
WEST COAST EAGLES v MELBOURNE 
OS , 1:20pm AWST Saturday, September 22, 2018
“Joel Smith, unlikely September star”
Melbourne dumping defender Bayley Fritsch for the more dour Smith could really come back to bite them. Get the idea that they need to be more defensive minded over in Perth but they’ll miss Fritsch’s pinpoint kicking off half-back.
“Quietest final ever”
First prelim at Optus Stadium? The sound of affirmation is going to be thunderous. Hopefully the umpiring has little impact on what should be a great game.
