Get ready for all the action with our in-depth previews and predictions for Round 24 of the AFL season.
Essendon vs Carlton
Blues to win by 1-39 points
Thursday night footy at the MCG opens Round 24 with two proud clubs playing for little more than bragging rights. Carlton impressed in a dominant win over Port last week, with Harry McKay starring up forward, while Essendon pushed a rejuvenated St Kilda all the way but fell agonisingly short.
We’re backing Carlton’s forward firepower to prove decisive in a competitive contest.
Collingwood vs Melbourne
Magpies to win by 1-39 points
Friday night brings a clash of traditional rivals at the MCG. Collingwood have seen their form desert them in recent weeks and are clinging to the top four despite another narrow loss, while Melbourne’s inconsistency has left them out of the finals race. The Pies’ trademark pressure has been the cornerstone of their success under Craig McRae, and they’ll need to rediscover it to hold their top-four spot.
We’re backing Collingwood to steady and get the points in a tight one.
Port Adelaide vs Gold Coast
Suns to win by 1-39 points
Port Adelaide’s season has well and truly unravelled having lost five in a row, and they now face a Gold Coast side still hunting a maiden finals berth. The Suns were brushed aside by GWS last week, but remain in the hunt if they can respond in Adelaide.
We’re backing Gold Coast to keep their finals dream alive with a narrow win.
North Melbourne vs Adelaide
Crows to win by 40+ points
Adelaide head to Marvel Stadium on Saturday morning knowing victory over North Melbourne will secure top spot on the ladder. The Crows edged Collingwood in a thriller last week and remain the team to beat. The Roos, meanwhile, lit up Hobart through Harry Sheezel’s record-breaking effort but face a huge step up here.
We’re backing Adelaide to flex their muscles and cruise to a big win.
Richmond vs Geelong
Cats to win by 40+ points
Geelong visit the MCG on Saturday afternoon with a double chance already secured. The Cats outclassed Sydney in Round 23 despite Jeremy Cameron being kept off the scoreboard, with Shannon Neale stepping up to fill the void. The toothless Tigers sit second-bottom and look to be simply waiting for the season to end.
We’re backing Geelong to sharpen up for finals with a comfortable victory.
West Coast vs Sydney
Swans to win by 1-39 points
The Eagles return to Optus Stadium after another heavy defeat, this time against the Bulldogs, and are set to finish with the wooden spoon. Sydney showed patches against Geelong in Round 23 but lacked consistency and must finish strongly to build momentum into 2026. West Coast’s young squad has fought hard at home, but their struggles in front of goal continue.
We’re backing Sydney to take the points in a scrappy encounter.
GWS Giants vs St Kilda
Giants to win by 1-39 points
Sunday’s opener at Engie Stadium has major finals implications. GWS dismantled the Suns to all but lock in September action, while an ever-improving St Kilda side snatched a nail-biter over Essendon. The Giants’ midfield drive and home advantage should give them the edge in a physical contest.
We’re backing GWS to confirm their place with another hard-earned win.
Western Bulldogs vs Fremantle
Dockers to win by 1-39 points
This Sunday’s clash at Marvel Stadium is effectively an elimination final. The Bulldogs crushed West Coast to jump into eighth, while Fremantle have been superb at home and now need to prove themselves on the road. The Dockers’ midfield balance and tall forwards could trouble the Dogs under the roof.
We’re backing Fremantle to edge a thriller and punch their ticket to September.
Brisbane vs Hawthorn
Lions to win by 1-39 points
The Gabba hosts a blockbuster to close Sunday’s action. Brisbane swept aside Fremantle in Perth to cement their top-four place, while Hawthorn’s surge continued with a strong win over Melbourne. Finals intensity will be on display, but the Lions’ home record and midfield depth give them the edge.
We’re backing Brisbane to hold firm in front of their fans.
Gold Coast vs Essendon (Rescheduled)
Suns to win by 40+ points
The season concludes midweek on the Gold Coast as the Suns host Essendon in a catch-up fixture. Depending on results, this could be make-or-break for the Suns’ finals dream. Essendon have shown heart but ultimately lack consistency across four quarters. Expect Gold Coast to dominate on home turf with everything on the line.
We’re backing the Suns to finish with a statement win.
