Sydney vs. Fremantle prediction, tip, best bet
The Swans train will continue rolling at home this week against a finals-bound Fremantle.
Alex Pearce will be a huge loss for the Dockers, who will struggle to contain Sydney's forward power.
The Dockers conceded 149 points on the road against the Bulldogs earlier this month.
A repeat of that amount is unlikely but the Swans will get a comfortable win at the SCG.
Prediction: Sydney by 38 points
Best bet: Sydney -27.5 ($1.90)
Gold Coast vs. Collingwood prediction, tip, best bet
While Gold Coast can't win on the road this season, they are yet to lose a game at home also.
Collingwood will have reinforcements returning in Scott Pendlebury and Brody Mihocek.
But the fact the Suns are underdogs at a venue they are unbeaten at represents value.
It will be a close game.
Prediction: Gold Coast by 9 points
Best bet: Gold Coast to win ($2.00)
Geelong vs. Essendon prediction, tip, best bet
Geelong's season is fast plummeting and a loss to Essendon will be another blow to their finals aspirations.
It's hard to see the Cats halting the Bombers' free-flowing footy and it's going to take a mighty performance to get the four points.
Essendon look to be value in most markets and can be backed to win at $1.80 also - as well as the attractive low line.
Prediction: Essendon by 23 points
Best bet: Essendon +-2.5 ($1.90)
Richmond vs. Carlton prediction, tip, best bet
Poor old Richmond have had a horror season and it isn't going to get any easier against a rampaging Carlton.
The Tigers just simply won't be able to stop the firepower in the Blues forward line, led by Charlie Curnow and Harry McKay.
Bank interest can be made on Carlton to win the match at $1.10 but the real value looks to be in the line, which the Blues should cover.
Prediction: Carlton by 52 points
Best bet: Carlton -41.5 ($1.90)
