Round 7 promises to be another great weekend, featuring the biggest and best rivalry in AFL on Friday night, a couple of old foes meeting on Sunday afternoon, and the western derby to finish off the round.
Who will win in the ultimate rivalry?
Carlton and Collingwood. When it comes to home-and-away matches, none are bigger than this. Footy’s grandest colosseum will be full to bursting with fans eager to be a part of 150 years of tradition and hatred.
Mick Malthouse and Dale Thomas’ moves to Carlton only makes this game saucier. I reckon the Pies will win, but who knows in footy.
Will Essendon arrest their gigantic slump?
The Bombers are in real trouble. After a terrific first quarter in the Anzac Day clash, Essendon ended up being massacred by Collingwood. The Bombers have played well in the first few rounds, but haven’t got a decent win-loss record.
The Bombers come up against the Bulldogs, who also let a lead slip, even though it was against Adelaide, who aren’t the same calibre as the Premiership-contending Pies.
Will Essendon put their season back on track before the bye, or will Western Bulldogs pull off an unlikely win?
The tippers nightmare: West Coast or Fremantle?
Both of the western teams suffered shocking defeats last week: the Eagles couldn’t hold a final term buffer against the Blues, and the Dockers suffered a shock home loss to the rebounding Roos.
Both teams have gone into a slump, so will West Coast come back to Patersons and show who is the best in the west, or will the Dockers use their experience at home last week to get another win? Something tells me the Dockers will win.
