Get ready for all the action with our in‑depth previews and predictions for Round 20 of the AFL season.
Hawthorn vs Carlton
Hawks to win by 1‑39 points
Fifth‑placed Hawthorn return to the MCG after mastering the Tassie conditions to beat Port Adelaide, while Carlton are coming off a tight win over Melbourne that still exposed flaws under pressure. With the Hawks chasing a top‑four spot and showing sharper ball use, they look well placed to handle the challenge from the Blues.
We expect the Hawks to keep their momentum and record a narrow but confident victory.
Essendon vs Western Bulldogs
Bulldogs to win by 40+ points
Essendon were overrun by the Giants last week and sit in the bottom four while the Bulldogs nearly pinched a result against reigning premiers Brisbane in a performance full of fight. With finals still on the line, the Dogs’ superior midfield class should overwhelm a Bombers’ side short on answers.
We’re backing the Bulldogs to take control early and win convincingly.
GWS Giants vs Sydney
Giants to win by 1‑39 points
The Giants punished Essendon last week with Jake Stringer at his best. Sydney, on the other hand, needed Isaac Heeney’s late heroics to shake North Melbourne to keep their finals ambitions alive. However, back on home turf, GWS’ structured attack and defensive pressure should be enough to see off a Swans outfit that still struggles for four‑quarter consistency.
We expect the Giants to maintain their top‑eight drive with a solid win.
Gold Coast vs Brisbane
Lions to win by 1‑39 points
The Suns were dismantled early by Adelaide in Round 19 and face another test against a Brisbane team that showed admirable composure in edging the Bulldogs last week. The truth is Gold Coast will need a big lift — one we’re not sure they are capable of — to match the Lions’ polish around stoppages and forward craft.
We’re backing the Lions to withstand any Suns challenge and bank another important win.
Fremantle vs West Coast
Dockers to win by 40+ points
Fremantle stunned ladder leaders Collingwood with a thrilling comeback and now welcome a West Coast side crushed by fellow cellar dwellers Richmond’s third‑term blitz in Round 19. With the Dockers building a finals case and boasting clear class advantages, this cross‑town clash looks one‑sided.
Expect Fremantle to dominate and notch up a big derby win against the AFL’s whipping boys.
North Melbourne vs Geelong
Cats to win by 40+ points
North Melbourne showed impressive grit against Sydney but again faded late at the end of an enthralling Round 19 clash, while Geelong impressed with a slick, high‑scoring win over St Kilda. The Cats’ balanced midfield and forward potency should be far too much for the Roos.
We’re backing Geelong to control the game and run out strong winners.
Adelaide Crows vs Port Adelaide
Crows to win by 1‑39 points
Adelaide tore through Gold Coast in Round 19 with 11 unanswered goals and now face their cross‑town rivals in a showdown. Port were outmuscled by Hawthorn in tough conditions and will need to lift considerably to match the Crows’ firepower.
We expect Adelaide to stay composed under pressure and claim a hard‑fought derby win.
Richmond vs Collingwood
Magpies to win by 40+ points
Richmond impressed with a rare 100‑point haul last time out but still sit near the foot of the ladder. Meanwhile, Collingwood will be stung by their late fade‑out against Fremantle in one of the games of the season last week. On this occasion, the Magpies’ system and quality should overwhelm the Tigers.
We’re backing the 2025 premiership favourites Collingwood to respond in style and post a convincing win.
St Kilda vs Melbourne
Demons to win by 1‑39 points
St Kilda’s issues deepened after a tough loss to Geelong, and now come up against a Melbourne side that remain inconsistent despite pushing Carlton all the way in Round 19. Both sides need a circuit‑breaker, but the Demons’ midfield depth and forward options should prove the difference.
We’re backing Melbourne to steady and edge this contest at Marvel Stadium.
