Melbourne and Brisbane meet at the MCG on Sunday arvo, with the Demons looking to bounce back from a humiliating loss to the Bombers Recent Form: Melbourne (10th, 3W, 2L) suffered a humbling 45-point loss to Essendon in Round 5, where its midfield was beaten for speed and pressure in the second half Brisbane (6th, 3W, 2L) stabilised its season with a clinical 26-point win over North Melbourne, generating 14 more inside-50s than their opponents Key Players: Melbourne skipper Max Gawn remains the cornerstone of their system. He was a highlight in a difficult game last week, finishing with 22 disposals, 34 hitouts and a goal Lions star Lachie Neale has surged back into Brownlow form. He recorded a perfect 10 coaches' votes against the Kangaroos, finishing with 30 disposals and 14 clearances
Head-to-Head: Melbourne won the most recent clash in Round 10, 2025, by 11 points at the Gabba but the Lions have won four of the last five H2H clashes Brisbane appears the more balanced side, and Melbourne will need another dominant performance from Gawn to have any chance of victory TIP: Brisbane by 12+

North Melbourne will be aiming to solidify their surprise top-ten position when they host a winless Richmond at Marvel Stadium. Recent Form: The Kangaroos (7th, 3W, 2L) were brave in Round 5, nearly toppling the defending premiers Brisbane before falling by 26 points in a high-quality contest Richmond (18th, 0W, 5L) remain the AFL’s only winless side after a 56-point drubbing from GWS, where it was unable to stop an eight-goal first-quarter blitz Key Players: North Melbourne’s Harry Sheezel continues his extraordinary rise. He was tireless against the Lions, finishing with 30 disposals, 6 clearances, and 13 contested possessions to lead the midfield Richmond warrior Tim Taranto never stopped trying in the loss to GWS. He was fighting against a dominant Giants midfield, finishing with 25 disposals,10 clearances and a goal
Head-to-Head: The Kangaroos have won their last three matches against the Tigers. North Melbourne secured two wins in 2025, including a 48-point victory in Round 23 North Melbourne's young midfield is currently firing on all cylinders, and Richmond's defensive cohesion will be tested to its limits. TIP: North Melbourne by 30+
North: 8th, 3-0-2, 450 for, 425 against, 105.9%. Richmond: 18th, 0-0-5, 297 for, 527 against, 56.4%.

The SCG will be the centre of the football world for Sydney Derby XXXII, as the high flying Swans host a Giants side looking to find consistency Recent Form: Sydney (1st, 4W, 1L) continued its clinical form in Round 5, comfortably accounting for Gold Coast by 32 points to solidify their position at the top of the ladder GWS Giants (12th, 2W, 3L) made a massive statement in the Barossa last week, piling on eight goals in the opening term to crush Richmond by 56 points Key Players: Sydney’s Isaac Heeney is arguably the best player in the league right now. He was clinical against the SUNS finishing with 33 disposals, 10 clearances, and 2 goals in a best-on-ground display Giants midfielder Finn Callaghan has taken a massive leap this season. He set a new standard last week with 37 disposals and 23 handballs to earn a perfect 10 coaches' votes
Head-to-Head: Sydney has won five of the past six derbies, including a 14-point win in Round 8 last year. However, GWS won the most recent clash in Round 20, 2025, by 44 points The Swans are playing a brand of football that looks impenetrable at home, and the Giants will need a similar "Barossa statement" to compete TIP: Sydney by 24+

Geelong will look to build on their Gather Round momentum when they host a formidable Western Bulldogs side in a critical top-eight clash at GMHBA Stadium Recent Form: Geelong (8th, 3W, 2L) was dominant in Round 5, dismantling West Coast by 46 points after a scary five-goal burst in the second quarter broke the game open Western Bulldogs (4th, 4W, 1L) suffered their first loss of the season last week, struggling to assert midfield control in a 40-point defeat to the in-form Hawks Key Players: Geelong midfielder Bailey Smith was simply breathtaking against the Eagles. He equalled the all-time single-game record with 16 inside 50s, finishing with 34 disposals and 13 score involvements, including 1 goal Bulldogs skipper Marcus Bontempelli never stopped fighting in the loss to Hawthorn. He was a constant presence at the contest, finishing with 26 disposals and 5 score involvements
Head-to-Head: The Cats won the most recent encounter in Round 11, 2025, by 14 points. However, the Bulldogs have become difficult opponents at this venue, winning their two previous matches at Kardinia Park The Bulldogs' offensive firepower and their recent success at GMHBA Stadium suggest they are well-placed to bounce back from their Gather Round loss. Geelong’s reliance on senior stars may be tested by the Dogs' younger midfield rotations TIP: Geelong by 10+
Geelong: 8th, 3-0-2, 460 for, 453 against, 101.5%. Footscray: 4th, 4-0-1, 502 for, 416 against, 120.7%.

Cheers tourists
One down. Five to go
Hope what they took out is benign, whatever it is.
I have several emotional support beers after traipsing around Melbs all day. A nice dinner with a tweep in Collingwood tonight should cap things off. Won’t be wearing my Carlton gear is for sure!!
Who’s dumber?
Pot, meet kettle 🙄
Is Coventry St named after The Great Man?
