Collingwood V Western Bulldogs
Tip: Collingwood
Odds: Collingwood 1.22 Bulldogs 4.35
Although the Pies were upset last week against the Hawks it was a great lead in game for the finals. They played pretty good seeing that they didn’t need to win the game so will be prepared to go 100% this weekend.
The Bulldogs coming off an impressive win against Essendon last week looked polished and should put up a fight against the Pies but I think they will lack the skills Collingwood has shown this year along with the continuing list of injuries the Bulldogs have going into this game.
My prediction is the Pies by over 40 points paying at Sportsbet here
Geelong V St Kilda
Tip: Geelong
Odds: Geelong 1.38 St Kilda 3.10
The Cats have proven once again they are the class side this year so tipping against them would take some guts. They have the better form going into the game and look to be more composed going into the finals.
I’m tipping a close game but the Cats to be too strong and win by around about 14 points. See the latest odds for this game at Sportsbet.
Fremantle V Hawthorn
Tip: Hawthorn
Odds: Fremantle 2.20 Hawthorn 1.68
The Hawks look to be the surprise package this finals series and should take care of the Dockers over in WA.
The Hawks have a near full strength side where Freo have been hit hard with injury this year and it will show this weekend. I’m tipping the Hawks to win by 30 points.
Sydney V Carlton
Tip: Sydney
Odds: Sydney 1.45 Carlton 2.77
Sydney play great football at home and always step up when it comes to finals and will give Paul Roos a great final send off game as coach in Sydney.
Carlton may get the jump on the Swans with the flair that they play with but I expect the Swans to grind out the win.
I’m tipping the Swans by 18 points.
