Seventeen weeks into the season and I'm still desperately seeking a perfect 8...
Don't fancy my chances, in all honesty, although with Hawthorn, Richmond and the Bulldogs running around its nice to be guaranteed at least 3 for the round.
You can really make it a certain 4, given that embattled Adelaide have drawn the short straw of playing Brisbane in Brisbane.
Port will murderise West Coast and Geelong will roll over Carlton with relative ease, which only leaves 2 games of genuine interest for the whole round.
In normal circumstances you'd expect St Kilda to thrash an Essendon side like this one, but the Bombers will be ultra desperate and many holes have been found in the Saint veneer of late. At the end of the day, however, St Kilda has the greater talent and Essendon has struggled to merely man them up in recent times. Add to this the harsh reality that Hird can't be close to fit and the Saints are rarely beaten at the Dome and the key pointers lead to the Moorabbin faithful hanging on to top spot (at least for another week).
Freo and Sydney should be the tightest clash of the round, as is also the most difficult to pick. Freo are a side that you can never pick with any confidence and the Swans continue to underwhelm with their inate averageness. I suspect both sides are bound for lower eight spots, but Freo can least afford to lose here. As such, it has to come down to the old favourite 'home ground' backstop, and that's precisely how I'm tipping here.
