Sydney Swans v Carlton
SCG, 7:50pm AEST Friday, June 1, 2018
Tonight in Sydney the Swans will be looking for a win to entrench them inside the top four. Can Carlton replicate the effort that saw them trouble the Cats at home? Two behemoths will be pitted against each other when Josh P. Kennedy comes up against Patrick Cripps, midfield battles don’t get much bigger than that.
Western Bulldogs v Melbourne
ES, 1:45pm AEST Saturday, June 2, 2018
The 2018 return of Dale Morris will give the Bulldogs a massive experience boost as they take on arguably the form side of the competition this week in the Demons. Melbourne dismantled Adelaide in Alice Springs last weekend and are unchanged going for their sixth win in a row.
Hawthorn v Port Adelaide
US, 2:10pm AEST Saturday, June 2, 2018
A well rested Port Adelaide versus Hawthorn at their Tasmanian fortress could be the match of the round. Port have only lost three games but currently sit outside the eight due to their early bye. Hawthorn will be doing all they can to snap a mid-season losing streak.
Gold Coast Suns v Geelong Cats
MS, 4:35pm AEST Saturday, June 2, 2018
Gary Ablett Jr. returns to the Gold Coast for the first time since he moved back to Geelong. The Little Master is under heavy scrutiny but a hallmark of his late career game has been coming up with his biggest performances when he has been written off. Gold Coast has made heavy changes since playing in China with captain Tom Lynch the biggest in.
West Coast Eagles v St Kilda
OS, 6:10pm AWST Saturday, June 2, 2018
The Eagles aren’t blasting teams off the field by 15 goals at the moment like Melbourne are but if they beat the Saints that will be their tenth straight victory. Luke Shuey is back in and St Kilda will be without Jake Carlisle and Luke Dunstan. If the Eagles go down at home it will be the upset of the season so far.
