Get ready for all the action with our in-depth previews and predictions for Round 23 of the AFL season.
Essendon vs St Kilda
Saints to win by 1-39 points
Friday night footy returns to Marvel Stadium where St Kilda will be chasing a fourth straight win after edging Richmond last week. Essendon showed spirit in patches but faded late against Geelong, and crucially, their defensive lapses could be costly again. St Kilda’s midfield depth and defensive structure should hold up well indoors.
We’re backing St Kilda to maintain their winning run with another composed performance.
Fremantle vs Brisbane
Dockers to win by 1-39 points
Friday night’s second clash takes us to Optus Stadium where Fremantle have been formidable. The Dockers’ dramatic win over Port last week keeps them in the top-four mix, while Brisbane’s narrow home loss to Sydney leaves them without momentum. If the hosts win the clearance battle, their tall forwards will cash in.
We’re backing Fremantle to edge another contender in a tight one.
Gold Coast vs GWS Giants
Suns to win by 1-39 points
Saturday’s action starts at People First Stadium where Gold Coast look to build on last week’s nail-biting win over Carlton. GWS bounced back against North Melbourne but face a far tougher defensive unit here. Expect the Suns’ midfield trio to control territory and limit the Giants’ run.
We’re backing the Suns to get it done in a hard-fought contest.
Carlton vs Port Adelaide
The Blues to win by 1-39 points
Marvel Stadium hosts Carlton and Port Adelaide on Saturday afternoon, with both sides out to rebound from narrow defeats. The Blues came alive late against the Suns in Round 22 but left themselves too much to do, while Port blew a golden chance against Freo. Home advantage could prove decisive here.
We’re backing Carlton to take advantage of familiar surroundings and claim the points.
Hawthorn vs Melbourne
Hawks to win by 1-39 points
The MCG stages a key Saturday evening clash between finals-chasing Hawthorn and an inconsistent Melbourne outfit. The Hawks dismantled Collingwood last week and will be confident of stretching the Dees’ defence. Melbourne pushed the Bulldogs but ultimately remain patchy over four quarters.
We’re backing the Hawks to continue their surge with another solid win.
Adelaide vs Collingwood
Crows to win by 1-39 points
Saturday night at Adelaide Oval sees the ladder-leading Crows face a Collingwood side desperate to respond after a heavy loss to Hawthorn. Adelaide were far from their best against West Coast but remain ruthless at home. Expect a finals-like intensity from the opening bounce.
We’re backing the Crows to hold firm in a blockbuster.
North Melbourne vs Richmond
Tigers to win by 1-39 points
Sunday footy kicks off at Ninja Stadium in Hobart with both North Melbourne and Richmond looking to salvage pride. The Roos showed glimpses against GWS but faded in Round 22 while Richmond pushed St Kilda before another late fade-out. The Tigers’ pace on the outside could prove decisive.
We’re backing Richmond to edge a close one away from home.
Sydney vs Geelong
Cats to win by 1-39 points
The SCG hosts a Sunday afternoon showdown between Sydney and Geelong. The Swans’ upset over Brisbane last week was full of spark, but Geelong’s polished win against Essendon kept them on track for a top-two finish. The visitors’ forward versatility and defensive structure should see them home.
We’re backing Geelong to win a competitive clash in Sydney.
Western Bulldogs vs West Coast
Bulldogs to win by 40+ points
Round 23 wraps up at Marvel Stadium where the Bulldogs can boost their percentage against bottom-placed West Coast. The Dogs were tested by Melbourne but finished strongly, while the Eagles ran Adelaide close before falling short. Expect one-way traffic from the outset.
We’re backing the Bulldogs to run up a big score at home.
