Carlton def Hawthorn by 5pts, Crowd 45,000 (A very hard game to pick, Carlton must win if they wanna finish top 4)
Adelaide def Gold Coast by 50pts, Crowd 18,000 (if the Crows put up a 100% effort, they should have no problems, weather should be in the low 20's)
West Coast def Essendon by 25pts, Crowd 42,000 (hope Essendon can do it, best of luck Dons, expected forecast 23 degrees C)
North Melb def Fremantle by 40pts, Crowd 12,500 (Fremantle will not make the finals for 2 straight seasons, something they have never done)
Collingwood def Brisbane by 145pts, Crowd 42,000 (I cannot imagine the slaughtering they will hand them)
St Kilda def Sydney by 6pts, Crowd 33,500 (Early Sunday game at ANZ, should be a great game from start to finish)
W Bulldogs def Port Power by 20pts, Crowd 15,000 (another Port game on free to air TV
, hope Bazza kicks a ton at his last game at AAMI)
Richmond def Melbourne by 17pts, Crowd 30,000 (hard game to predict, who cares)

CARLTON v HAWTHORN (14) 47,000 @ Etihad Stadium
What an exciting game for FNF. Very hard to tip a winner as both sides are in great form but Im gonna go with the Blues. A bit more experience at Etihad perhaps, but very hard to choose. More of a full side in for Carlton, but they are returning from Perth on a 6 day break.
GOLD COAST v ADELAIDE (35) 16,000 @ Metricon Stadium
Crows are showing a bit lately under Bickely and its becoming clear the young Suns are tiring in their first year. Not much of a game, but one the Crows should be able to account for...
WEST COAST v ESSENDON (56) 39,000 @ Patersons Stadium
Im on board the West Coast wagon and actually think they will touch up the Bombers at Subi this week. The Don's are travelling well however but don't expect them to worry the Eagles too much as they roll on to finals.
NORTH MELBOURNE v FREMANTLE (18) 21,000 @ Etihad Stadium
Couldn't be any more of an Elimination Final for these two. The loser is surely out of calculations. I expect both sides to give it a real crack, but the Dockers having to travel against a refreshed in form Kangaroos makes this game an easy one to tip.
COLLINGWOOD v BRISBANE LIONS (89) 35,000 @ MCG
Just another game for the machine that is Collingwood. Should easily destroy the young Lions at the 'G and Im not expecting too much resistance.
SYDNEY v ST KILDA (8) 25,000 @ ANZ Stadium
History has taught us that St Kilda and Sydney matches are always tight defensive tussels. Thats why I dont expect this match going either way past 2-3 goals for the entire game. Must win for Swans, but the more neutral ANZ doesn't help much. In form Sainters by a goal.
PORT ADELAIDE v WESTERN BULLDOGS (42) 20,000 @ AAMI Stadium
Ok, the Power are woeful at the moment and surely even the most loyal fans are finding it difficult to ever tip them. Whilst the Doggies are out of the finals race and blooding for the future, they should still have to much class and experience to let this game slip.
MELBOURNE v RICHMOND (20) 32,000 @ MCG
The Dees have a good chance to notch a first win under their care-taker coach and showed a bit last week, but I think with the Tiger Army up and about after last weeks win that the Tigers may carry on and get over Melbourne aswell.
