Friday: Swans v Pies
Sat: Hawks v Crows
I'm expecting two contrasting games this weekend. 1 a shit fight and 1 a game which will end in a comfortable victory.
Tired legs or not, Collingwood have the wood on the Swans and I really don't see much changing on friday night. Swan, Penddlebury, Thomas, Beams, Jolly and co showed just what they were really capable of last week, while the backline, brilliantly lead by Reid, showed they'll more than cover the loss of Maxwell.
The only problem will be Dawes and how he pulls up. Wood isn't the answer and they may go with a small and leave Cloke free to dominate the forward line.
The Swans have some great players. Jack, Jetta and Goodes being among their very best, but they have a mental block when it comes to Collingwood and I see that as the big advantage.

Saturday nights game is Hawthorn's to lose. They are the form team of the comp and have all guns blazing. Adelaide have been disappointing. They should have smashed the Dockers but couldn't.
I expect, Franklin, Hodge, Mitchell and co to have field day once the game settles down.
