There seem to be a clear cut favourite in every game this week. Who is most likely to defy the odds and why?
Which of the underdogs is most likely to cause an upset this week and why?

carlton because they always lift against us. geelong freo games are generally close anyway so wouldnt really be an upset, as are sydney hawthorn games and i dont think port can do it in melbourne.

Reckon the swans. Were undermanned on Friday yet had the game in their control until they ran out of legs. With Hannebury and Tippet back with possibly Jetta and a Buddyless Hawthorn they may be able to do some damage.
Port Adelaide.
Collingwood haven't exactly been world beaters this year and that Port have the structure to just about knock them off.
Lobbe v Grundy will be a great match-up.

Carlton. Richmond would be nervous as hell that first quarter, i could see the Blues jumping out to an early lead and holding on.
Swans maybe, especially if they can get a few players back. But they would want to be at 100% because the Hawks are tough to top.

Freo, they match up pretty well on us. Then we'd have Collingwood the next week, who also do... 
Freo are an unknown. The top teams have been running into each other the last month giving us some information on where each team is at. Fremantle have been destroying weak sides with ease in the mean time. I dont know what to make of them, we seem more proven but no result would surprise me Saturday.
Expect a wet weekend affecting all matches by the way.

I predicted before the season started (in that ladder prediction thread) it would be a Port v Richmond grand final.
I'm sticking to it as crazy as it is. Ie, Port and Richmond win their games this round.

Definitely hawthorn.
Taking on the reigning premiers but we already beat them twice this year, and we are back at our home ground

I'm surprised Collingwood seem to be such heavy favourites. I know it's in Melbourne and that Ports last 2 games haven't been great, but I think their game stacks up well against the Pies and they will come out firing and have a good win.
I agree as well on that i rekon dockers will play in the GF actually, not sure if they will win it but def get in.

Every single team is a decent chance of winning this week, it's going to be a cracker of a finals series.
Buddy aside the likely inclusion are roughly like for like. Well get Cyril, Shields, Bailey and Guerra back. That's probably our best small defender, tagger, tap ruckman and small defender.

Is it just me that thinks the only true underdog is Port? The others I wouldn't be surprised if the "underdog" got up.
