Jimmy and The Machine are here to give you their predictions and same game multi tips for each game this round.
Hawthorn vs. North Melbourne
Friday, October 31 – Kinetic Stadium, 7:15pm AEDT
Preview:
Hawthorn have been one of the best stories of the year, but this is the real “are we actually legit?” test.
North are still the most settled, ruthless, well-drilled side in the comp. The Hawks will scrap and hustle, but North don’t panic and they don’t give you freebies.
Hawks might hang around for a half; four quarters is another story. Roos to finish the job.

West Coast Eagles vs. Carlton
Friday, October 31 – Sullivan Logistics Stadium, 6:15pm WST / 9:15pm AEDT
Preview:
West Coast at home always look two goals better, but Carlton are simply more reliable when games tighten.
The Eagles will bring chaos and adrenaline; the Blues will bring patience and cleaner footy. If Carlton absorb the early punch, they should dictate terms.
West Coast can pinch it if it turns into a turnover-fest, but logic sits with the Blues. Blues by a kick or two if it’s close.

GWS Giants vs. Port Adelaide
Saturday, November 1 – Henson Park, 1:05pm AEDT
Preview:
This has “ugly scrap on a small deck” written all over it. GWS keep trying, but Port have a bit more punch and can score in bursts when they click.
Expect stoppages, territory footy and a few chaos goals. If the Giants don’t cough it up out of defence, they’re a chance — history says they will.
Port in a grind.

Richmond vs. Gold Coast Suns
Saturday, November 1 – IKON Park, 3:05pm AEDT
Preview:
Richmond are in that annoying zone where they try hard for two quarters but don’t finish games.
Gold Coast don’t have a huge ceiling, but right now they’re more settled. Expect the Tigers to hang in, bring effort, then fade in the back half.
The Suns don’t win often, but this is doable. Suns in a squeaker or two-kick game.

Sydney vs. Essendon
Saturday, November 1 – C.ex Coffs International Stadium, 5:05pm AEDT
Preview:
Sydney at their best are chaos merchants — run, surge, risk, repeat — but Essendon are harder to break when the game slows down.
This is a genuine 50/50 for mine, and could swing on one purple patch. Expect momentum runs and a nervy finish. Neutral-ish venue gives the Swans a tiny nudge.
Could easily flip the other way if Essendon steady late.

Geelong Cats vs. Melbourne
Saturday, November 1 – GMHBA Stadium, 7:15pm AEDT
Preview:
Geelong at Kardinia give anyone a headache, but Melbourne are the polished, ice-cold operators of the league.
If the Cats are going to take a scalp, it’s here — but the Demons don’t drop these often.
Expect a grind early, then Melbourne’s experience late. One of the matches of the round on paper, gap still shows a bit.

Collingwood vs. Brisbane Lions
Sunday, November 2 – Victoria Park, 1:05pm AEDT
Preview:
Collingwood are unpredictable as hell — one week competitive, one week unwatchable.
Brisbane are hitting form at the right time and tend to feast on vulnerable backlines like the Pies.
If the Lions start fast, this could be over early. Collingwood can stick around with pressure, not polish. Lions have the edge when it matters.

St Kilda vs. Western Bulldogs
Sunday, November 2 – RSEA Park, 3:05pm AEDT
Preview:
Both sides have had rough patches, but the Saints have shown more grit and structure over four quarters.
The Dogs can match effort, but they leak scores too easily and drop their heads too quickly when momentum goes against them.
RSEA Park suits St Kilda’s scrap-and-stomp style. Expect an honest game with a few ugly turnovers. Saints should be a touch steadier late.

Adelaide vs. Fremantle
Sunday, November 2 – Norwood Oval, 4:35pm ACDT / 5:05pm AEDT
Preview:
Adelaide at Norwood usually means “don’t overthink it.”
Fremantle will bring heat and energy, but their bottom six aren’t at Adelaide’s level.
If the Crows settle early, they’ll keep Freo at arm’s length all night.
Dockers can turn it into a scrap, but that only delays the inevitable. Home side should control the last quarter.
