Kingy’s pick: Bulldogs at the line (-20.5).

Geelong v West Coast

Kingy’s pick: West Coast at the line (+11.5).
Sammy’s pick: West Coast at the line (+11.5).

Sammy’s pick: Sydney at the line (-6.5).
Carlton v Brisbane

“I’m keeping the faith.”
Sammy’s pick: Blues at the line (+6.5).
Melbourne v Richmond

“Pressure through the roof, harassment through the roof, brutal on turnover.”
Kingy’s pick: Tigers at the line (-5.5).
Sammy says: “I love what Melbourne have done but I think the Tigers will be right up for this one and put a challenger back in their box.”
Sammy’s pick: Tigers at the line (-5.5).
Fremantle v North Melbourne
Kingy says: “The Kangaroos were a lot better last week.
“I’m going to stick with them. There’ll be a game where it all clicks.”

“They might well go on and win the game, of course.”
Sammy’s pick: Crows at the line (+9.5).
Collingwood v Essendon
Kingy says: “Jordan Ridley is a huge out, he holds everything together down back.
“Collingwood aren’t playing that bad a football. I think they’re going to get hold of Essendon.”
Kingy’s pick: Magpies at the line (-4.5).
Sammy’s pick: Magpies at the line (-4.5).
Port Adelaide v St Kilda
Kingy says: “I give the Saints a chance, but they’ve got to play the football that has a defensive foundation to it.
“I want to se them get back to their ruthless style of football. I give the Saints a chance to win this game.
“You have to go with Port on what you’ve seen but this is a real upset type game.”
Kingy’s pick: Saints at the line (+27.5).
Sammy says: “I’m extending the olive branch to the Saints. I think they can get within 27.5.”
Sammy’s pick: Saints at the line (+27.5).
