Outs: Tom Cole, Ryan Maric, Josh Lindsay (Omitted). North: $1.46 (5th, 1-0-0, 113 for, 67 against, 168.7%). No line-up changes. Sportsbet books accurate at time of collation. Gamble responsibly
West Coast will be hoping for an upset at home when they host a confident North Melbourne side at Optus Stadium Recent Form West Coast are at the foot of the ladder following a 59-point loss to the Suns. They struggled early, conceding 13 first-half goals, though they showed more fight in a respectable second half North Melbourne produced a stunning 46-point upset over Port Adelaide to sit in the top four. They played a slick style, recording a league-high team efficiency of 79.5% Key Players Eagles young star Harley Reid was impressive despite the loss, finishing with 23 disposals and a team-high 5 clearances North skipper Nick Larkey was peerless against the Power, booting 4 goals in a dominant captaincy debut
Head-to-Head North Melbourne won the last encounter in Round 13, 2025, by 10 points at Optus Stadium. The last three matches between these sides have been decided by an average of just 5.6 points The Kangaroos are playing with new-found belief under Alastair Clarkson, but the long trip to Perth always provides a severe test of character for a young side TIP: North Melbourne by 10+
West Coast: 18th, 0-0-1, 72 for, 131 against, 55.0%. North: 5th, 1-0-0, 113 for, 67 against, 168.7%.

Port Adelaide and Essendon both face a high-pressure Sunday afternoon after disappointing Round 1 defeats Recent Form Port Adelaide suffered a 46-point loss to North in Josh Carr's coaching debut. They struggled for support around stars Zak Butters and Connor Rozee, and were overwhelmed by North's midfield Essendon was dismantled by Hawthorn to the tune of 62 points. They conceded 21 goals and were out-marked inside 50 by a factor of 23–7 Key Players Port's Mitch Georgiades was a lone hand in attack against the Roos, booting 3 of his side's 9 goals and showing consistent target presence Essendon captain Zach Merrett battled tirelessly in the loss, finishing with 32 disposals, 8 score involvements and a goal
Head-to-Head Essendon won the most recent match by 12 points in Round 3, 2025, snapping a long losing streak. Prior to that, Port Adelaide had won 8 head-to-head matches in a row against the Bombers The Power will be desperate to respond in front of their home fans, while the Bombers must urgently fix a defence that has looked porous since early 2025 TIP: Port by 14+
Port: 16th, 0-0-1, 67 for, 113 against, 59.3%; Essendon: 17th, 0-0-1, 83 for, 145 against, 57.2%.

Fremantle will be looking to secure their first win of 2026 when they welcome a revitalised Melbourne to Optus Stadium. Recent Form: Fremantle (13th, 0W, 1L) fell short by 10 points against Geelong despite a dominant start. They were efficient early, posting their highest first-quarter score outside Western Australia and scoring from 75% of forward entries Melbourne (7th, 1W, 0L) produced an early "Match of the Year" contender to edge out St Kilda by 13 points. They recorded 82 marks as they embraced a faster, more attacking ball movement style Key Players: Fremantle ruck Luke Jackson was dominant in Round 1, finishing with 27 disposals, 22 hitouts, 10 clearances and a goal Demons forward Jacob van Rooyen was breathtaking against the Saints, booting a career-high 6 goals to become the focal point of the new system
Head-to-Head: Melbourne won the most recent encounter in Round 6, 2025, by 10 points at the MCG. However, Fremantle has won 2 of the last 3 head-to-head matches overall The Dockers are notoriously difficult to beat in Perth, but Melbourne's new offensive flair under Steven King presents a massive challenge for the Fremantle defence TIP: Fremantle by 20+

GWS will be desperate to bounce back at home when they host a winless St Kilda at ENGIE Stadium Recent Form: GWS (10th, 1W, 1L) is coming off a humiliating 81-point loss to the Western Bulldogs. They struggled to compete at the source, winning only 31 clearances compared to the Dogs' 42 St Kilda Saints (14th, 0W, 2L) are winless after a 13-point defeat to Melbourne. Their defence has been under siege, conceding an average of 99 points per match so far this season Key Players: Giants defender Lachie Ash was a shining light in the loss, finishing with a round-high 13 marks and 31 disposals (93% efficiency) Saints forward Max Hall provided a spark in Round 1, booting a career-high 4 goals from 24 disposals as the primary target in attack
Head-to-Head: The Giants have won the last four encounters, including a tight 11-point win in Round 24, 2025. GWS also secured a convincing 28-point victory in Gather Round last season. GWS usually find another gear at their home fortress, and St Kilda will need to find a way to improve their defensive structure and avoid a disastrous 0–3 start TIP: GWS by 17+
GWS (10th, 1-0-1, 175 for, 229 against, 76.4%); Saints (14th, 0-0-2, 173 for, 198 against, 87.4%).

Richmond faces a daunting task against an undefeated Gold Coast team looking to solidify its place at the top of the table Recent Form: Richmond (12th, 0W, 1L) was gallant but inaccurate in a 4-point loss to Carlton, finishing with 9.17 (71). Their ability to generate 26 scoring shots suggests their offensive system is functioning, despite the final result The SUNS (2nd, 2W, 0L) continued their rampage with a 59-point thrashing of West Coast. They average 128 points per game and have outscored their opponents 256–141 across their first two matches Key Players: Richmond debutant Sam Lalor showed glimpses of superstar potential in Round 1, recording 16 high-impact disposals and 2 goals at the MCG Suns midfielder Noah Anderson was everywhere in the win over West Coast, racking up 34 disposals, 5 inside 50s and a goal …
Head-to-Head: The Suns hold the current winning streak after an 84-point demolition of the Tigers in Round 21, 2025. Gold Coast has won 2 of the last 3 head-to-head matches against Richmond Richmond's lack of a clinical edge in front of goal could be their undoing against a Suns side that is currently the most lethal transition team in the league TIP: Gold Coast by 32+
Richmond: 12th (0-0-1, 71 for, 75 against, 94.7%) Gold Coast: 2nd (2-0-0, 256 for, 141 against, 181.6%)

Adelaide will be aiming to prove their premiership credentials when they face an in-form Western Bulldogs side on their home turf Recent Form: Adelaide (5th, 1W, 0L) started their campaign with a gutsy 14-point win over Collingwood. Their ability to score from intercept chains remains a significant tactical weapon, outscoring opponents 37–7 from turnovers in the first half Western Bulldogs (3rd, 2W, 0L) were terrifyingly efficient in Round 1, dismantling GWS by 81 points. They lead the league for clearances, averaging 42 per match compared to Adelaide's 29 Key Players: Adelaide forward Riley Thilthorpe remains a constant threat; he picked up where he left off after a 60-goal 2025 season by recording 3 goals from 15 disposals in the opener Bulldogs captain Marcus Bontempelli was breathtaking against GWS, finishing with 33 disposals (72% efficiency), 11 score involvements and 3 goals in a dominant midfield display
Head-to-Head: The Crows have won the last two meetings, including a thrilling 11-point victory in Round 18, 2025. Overall, Adelaide has won 2 of the last 3 matches against the Bulldogs The Crows are historically strong at home, but the Bulldogs' massive stoppage power could overwhelm the hosts if they dominate the clearance count TIP: Adelaide by 10+ points
Adelaide: 6th on 117.6% (1-0-0, 93 for, 79 against); Footscray: 2nd on 154.1% (2-0-0, 245 for, 159 against)
