Now, time for some tips - let's go!

🟤 Hawks vs Blues

Tip: Hawks win @ 1.21

The Hawks are charging and sit in a strong position to push deeper into finals territory. The Blues will be desperate to send Sam Docherty off a winner in his retirement game, but Hawthorn's pressure game, elite ball movement and confidence at home gives them the edge.

Prediction: Hawks by 20

🔴 Bombers vs Bulldogs

Tip: Bulldogs win @ 1.04

The Bulldogs have way too much on the line to slip here, and I can't see the Bombers winning another game this season as they have battled injuries and inconsistency. The Dogs’ midfield depth and forward efficiency should see them cruise through.

Prediction: Bulldogs by 74

🟠 Giants vs Swans

Tip: Giants win @ 1.55

Battle of the Bridge intensity is back. The Swans are dangerous, but the Giants are quietly building serious September momentum. GWS 5 wins in a row, versus Sydney 3 wins in a row. Both teams are in hot form, and either can win on the day, but our tip is with GWS.

Prediction: Giants by 4

☀️ Suns vs Lions

Tip: Lions win @ 1.60

It’s Q-Clash time. Brisbane’s top-four hopes are on the line, and they will come out roaring. The Suns have shown promise under Hardwick but have struggled horribly in Q'Clash matches in recent history. The Suns are at home which is the only potential edge I see them having, but for me it's a Lions comfortable win.

Prediction: Lions by 18

🟣 Dockers vs Eagles

Tip: Dockers win @ 1.04

Western Derby 58 shouldn't be close. Fremantle’s ball use, pressure, and contested game is a class above West Coast right now. Expect an early statement and a comfortable result.

Prediction: Dockers by 60

🟦 Kangaroos vs Cats

Tip: Geelong win @ 1.10

The Cats are clinging to top-4 finals hopes and need a statement win, and they’ll get it here. The Roos keep fighting, but Geelong’s system and firepower are simply superior.

Prediction: Geelong by 40

🔴 Crows vs Power

Tip: Crows win @ 1.15

Showdown 56 is massive. Port are limping, while Adelaide are flying at home. Expect physicality, but the Crows’ ball movement and scoring spread should overwhelm a vulnerable Power outfit.

Prediction: Crows by 30

🟡 Tigers vs Magpies

Tip: Pies win @ 1.05

The Magpies are nearing full strength again and will be looking to fine-tune ahead of finals. Richmond has improved but lacks the firepower to go four quarters with the Pies. Nick Daicos will have a field day if he is left to roam free.

Prediction: Collingwood by 80

⚪ Saints vs Demons

Tip: Melbourne win @ 1.82

Toughest tip of the round. Flip a coin, I don't like tipping either of these teams to win but I have to, maybe it will be a draw? Anyway, I'll tip Demons. Yuck.

Prediction: Melbourne by 2
