Richmond and Sydney will get Round 15 started in a match which surely no one except whoever owns Etihad Stadium could think should be played at Etihad Stadium.
Who owns that ground again? Ah, yeah, right – makes sense.
I’m tipping the Swans to win this one but it’d be a different story if it were at the MCG, as it will be in finals.
Crows vs Eagles on Saturday offers an interesting question as to which side is going to be most able to cover for its injury concerns.
Usually the home ground advantage would be a tiebreaker for me here, but the Eagles have a decent record at Adelaide Oval, and I’m going to tip them in this one.
GWS vs Hawthorn on Saturday night could’ve been a real close contest – and still might be, really. But without Jeremy Cameron, I reckon the Giants fall short.
Sunday just happens to be my birthday and I would like one North Melbourne win, please, Gillon. And no injuries.
Geelong, Port Adelaide, Collingwood, Melbourne and Fremantle all look like relatively straightforward tips this week though for what feels like the millionth time this year I’m tempted to think Brisbane can cause an upset.
Went out on a limb last week picking North for lock of the week… never in doubt (it was constantly in doubt for the entire match). This week I’m putting the mozz on Port.

We’ve got a great match-up to kick the round off, and for the sake of the season a Sydney win would be the best result but the Tigers will get over the line in a close one.
Port should be too strong for the Blues. Here’s hoping the Blues can make a contest of it in club champ Kade Simpson’s 300th.
West Coast looked completely disjointed without their star forwards against the Bombers and I’m tipping the Crows to snap their four-game losing streak and keep their season alive in another close one.
Collingwood pretty comfortably over the Suns.
Giants vs Hawks is pretty much a coin toss but Cameron out – on top of the already-missing Toby Greene – really hurts GWS so I’ll take the Hawks.
Melbourne to bounce back for pretty easy win over the Saints.
North should be too strong for the Bombers in another nice match-up and the Dockers should be too good at home for the Lions.

The Swans have really run themselves into some confidence lately, and might just have the edge over the Tigers.
West Coast don’t seem to mind travelling to South Australia, but while the Crows have been unconvincing for a while now the continued absence of the Eagles’ key forwards swings this in favour of the home team.
GWS just aren’t quite right at the moment. Hawthorn to get their first win at Spotless Stadium.
Essendon versus North Melbourne feels like a toss of the coin. The Bombers’ form is just a little better. Should be a cracker.
Elsewhere, the Power over Carlton, Geelong to beat the Bulldogs, Collingwood to continue the Suns miserable year, Melbourne to get back to winning against the Saints, Freo over the forlorn Lions.
