With sell outs possible at a couple of games, the round is full of promising match-ups. I’ll preview the big matches and look for my review on Monday.
Will Buddy continue his great record against Essendon?
When you think of Buddy Franklin and Essendon, memories normally drift back to the two freakish running goals along the boundary in 2010. One of those won mark of the year and has become a huge highlight and promotion for our glorious game.
Buddy has always had good games against the Bombers and he now looks to take down Essendon again, this time with his new Swans teammates who have just upset reigning premiers Hawthorn in a fantastic match.
All eyes will be watching as the Bombers look to return to their early season form after just scraping past the bottom of the table Lions in a game that could have easily have resulted in a Brisbane win.
Friday night footy could be an interesting one as the Bombers and Swans do battle in a promising match.
Can Melbourne claim another victim?
The Demons have really switched on. After a Round 4 victory put them on the map, they followed it up by surprising the Crows in a fantastic win.
Coupled with last week’s near victory against the Bulldogs, the Dees will be confident in bringing about an upset against the inconsistent Tigers.
If the Tigers bring their a-game, then they should easily win. But if they slip back to their earlier season form, the Melbourne Demons could score an astonishing third victory, which would really give their fans something to shout about.
