Collingwood vs North Melbourne. A loss here for the Pies who played brilliantly in the first half against the Eagles everywhere but the scoreboard could see them slide down as low as 6th should everything go against them. The Magpies should have been out of sight against WCE at the main break but their goal kicking was horrendous and cost them dearly. North themselves could have iced the match against Sydney but misses by Ziebell and Daw at critical times also dented their chances at claiming the 4 points. North have shown a lot this season but another loss here would certainly dent their finals aspirations while Collingwood as already mentioned have various teams lurking over their shoulder. Sydney look almost certain to defeat Gold Coast in Sydney, but what the Pies do have in their favour is the other bigger clubs are set to battle each other in the run home for finals/top 4 births.
Melbourne travel to Geelong Saturday night knowing another loss could see the Cats plummet out of the 8 while a win for the Dees could see them find their way into the 4. Port who are coming off a loss to Freo host the inform GWS who have been one of the best performing sides over the last month or so. Hawthorn have a date with lowly Carlton and will be looking at this as a percentage booster after an unexpected loss to Brisbane in Tasmania. The lions now find themselves in a rich vein of form and will go back to the GABBA which has been a banana skin venue at times for teams to play at. Adelaide will be looking to keep their season alive in Brisbane and know it won't be an easy task.
The Bombers host Freo who beat the Power which gave up their spot in the 4 to Sydney as a result. A loss by the Bombers here and it's surely season over. Top 2 heavyweights Richmond and West Coast will be licking their lips at the prospects of facing the Saints and Bulldogs but nothing is for sure in sport these days.
Port vs GWS
Cats vs Dees
Other heavyweight clashes. If GWS win this their stocks go up even more and will definitely be one of the most in form sides in the comp if they aren't already., and perhaps one of the most feared running into September. Another loss for the Power will leave them with a little daylight from the rest of the 4.
