Port Adelaide v Richmond
AO , 7:20pm ACST Friday, June 8, 2018
Feels like it hasn’t happened for years now but Friday Night Football is going to start the round off with a bang. Port will be fancying themselves at home over the reigning premiers especially with Dustin Martin out. This should be a close one, hopefully for Tigers fans it doesn’t come down to a coin toss.
Geelong Cats v North Melbourne
GS , 1:45pm AEST Saturday, June 9, 2018
North Melbourne have seemingly rebuilt overnight but it will take their best to bring down a Dangerwoodlet lead Cats team at home. The Cats are unchanged for the first time all year whilst North Melbourne bring in barrel chested forward Cameron Zurhaar to replace Jed Anderson.
GWS Giants v Gold Coast Suns
SPO , 4:35pm AEST Saturday, June 9, 2018
11th plays 15th probably wasn’t the outcome Andrew Demetriou had in mind when his two expansion sides would meet down the track in 2018. The Giants though are much better than their ladder position. They were impressive against the Crows at Adelaide Oval last week and the Suns should find it tough without the experienced duo of May and Hall.
St Kilda v Sydney Swans
ES , 7:25pm AEST Saturday, June 9, 2018
Will St Kilda go winless for 21 straight rounds in 2018? Alan Richardson has made the big call on number 3 draft pick Jack Billings, dropped to the VFL this weekend. Should be clear enough that every man at the Saints is playing for his future. Wouldn’t want to be coming up against Buddy with a point to prove though after Grant Thomas’s comments…
