Get ready for all the action with our in‑depth previews and predictions for Round 21 of the AFL season.
Western Bulldogs vs GWS Giants
Bulldogs to win by 1‑39 points
Marvel Stadium hosts two sides desperate to stay in the finals race on Thursday night. The Bulldogs rediscovered their spark last week, and Marcus Bontempelli remains central to their clearance work. GWS have shown they can launch big comebacks, but have often been slow to settle early away from home. If the Dogs bring their trademark pressure from the opening bounce, they can edge an even contest.
We’re backing the Bulldogs to grind out a valuable win under the Marvel lights.
Adelaide vs Hawthorn
Crows to win by 1‑39 points
Adelaide Oval will be rocking on Friday night as the second‑placed Crows look to strengthen their grip on a double chance. Hawthorn have been bold and exciting but now face a club with genuine top‑two ambitions. Adelaide’s forward line has been ruthless at home and their ability to convert pressure into scores could prove decisive late.
We’re backing Adelaide to hold firm and down the Hawks.
Melbourne vs West Coast
Demons to win by 40+ points
Melbourne were stung by their late fade against St Kilda last week but have a golden opportunity to reset at Marvel Stadium on Saturday. The kindest thing you can say about West Coast, sitting last on the ladder, is that they are still a work in progress, showing glimpses but lacking consistency under sustained heat. However, Marvel’s quick deck should suit the Demons’ overlapping runners and give their forwards room to move.
We’re backing Melbourne to steady and record a strong home victory.
Gold Coast vs Richmond
Suns to win by 40+ points
The Suns’ record QClash win has given them momentum and a finals lifeline coming into their Saturday clash at People First Stadium. Richmond will arrive with a youthful list still learning to close out games against top‑tier opposition and not much to play for in 2025.
We’re backing Gold Coast to impose themselves early and claim a comfortable win over the Tigers.
Sydney vs Essendon
Swans to win by 40+ points
The SCG is never an easy trip and Sydney will be eager to respond after losing ground in the derby during Round 20 when they host Essendon on Saturday. The Bombers’ slump in form has exposed defensive gaps and turnovers in transition, an area the Swans can exploit.
We’re backing Sydney to respond with authority and keep their finals pulse alive.
Collingwood vs Brisbane
Magpies to win by 1‑39 points
A heavyweight clash at the MCG on Saturday night pits ladder leaders Collingwood against a Brisbane side still chasing consistency. Collingwood’s ability to absorb pressure and find clean exits from defence has been a trademark this season, while Brisbane’s speed will keep them in the contest; their recent struggles away from home are a concern.
We’re backing Collingwood to edge a tight, high‑stakes clash.
St Kilda vs North Melbourne
Saints to win by 40+ points
St Kilda enter this Round 21 clash at Marvel Stadium on Sunday full of belief after one of the great comebacks last week, and face a North Melbourne defence under siege in recent weeks. If they bring the same intensity, the Saints can build percentage and confidence against the beatable Roos.
We’re backing St Kilda to keep the momentum rolling with a decisive win.
Geelong vs Port Adelaide
Cats to win by 40+ points
Geelong’s GMHBA fortress is a daunting trip for any side, and Port Adelaide will arrive on Sunday needing a dramatic form turnaround. Ominously for the Power, the Cats’ forward spread and midfield control have been building, and their recent scoring surge suggests another statement performance is on the cards.
We’re backing Geelong to control the tempo and power to another strong result.
Fremantle vs Carlton
Dockers to win by 1‑39 points
Fremantle’s home record and contested dominance make them a tough task at Optus Stadium on Sunday as the curtain falls on Round 21. To that end, Carlton’s form has dipped, with ball use under pressure a recurring issue. The Dockers’ mix of stoppage strength and outside run should give them a narrow edge in what could be a tense finish.
We’re backing Fremantle to finish the round with a hard‑earned win.
