Jimmy and The Machine give their expert footy tips this round in the 2025 AFLW Season.

Jimmy and The Machine are here to give you their predictions and same game multi tips for each game this round.


Hawthorn vs. Fremantle

Thursday, October 2 – Kinetic Stadium, 7:15 pm AEST

Preview:
Hawthorn are buzzing after a big scalp against Geelong.

Fremantle looked out of sorts against Carlton and need more scoreboard impact. The Hawks’ midfield is humming and their forwards are capitalising.

Fremantle’s best weapon is their pressure, but it has to stick for four quarters.

Melbourne vs. Essendon

Friday, October 3 – IKON Park, 7:15 pm AEST

Preview:
Melbourne flexed against Gold Coast and looked back to their ruthless best.

Essendon started strong but were steamrolled by North and will be licking their wounds.

The Dees are too polished in transition and too powerful forward. Essendon will need Toogood to kick a bag to be any chance.

GWS Giants vs. St Kilda

Saturday, October 4 – Henson Park, 1:05 pm AEST

Preview:
The Giants were smashed by West Coast and are struggling for consistency.

St Kilda keep banking wins and look sharper with Wardlaw back firing.

GWS have to slow the Saints’ ball movement or it’ll get ugly. St Kilda’s midfield depth is making them a tough out every week.

North Melbourne vs. Sydney Swans

Saturday, October 4 – UTAS Stadium, 3:05 pm AEST

Preview:
North look unstoppable right now after rolling over Essendon with ease.

Sydney fought hard but Adelaide showed their class late. The Roos’ midfield brigade is simply too powerful.

Sydney’s energy might make it interesting early but it won’t last.

Gold Coast Suns vs. Brisbane Lions

Saturday, October 4 – People First Stadium, 5:05 pm AEST

Preview:
The Suns were outclassed by Melbourne and couldn’t get their game going.

Brisbane reminded everyone what they can do with a comfortable win over Richmond.

The Lions’ midfield run and forward pressure look back to their best. Gold Coast will fight but Brisbane have too much polish.

Port Adelaide vs. Western Bulldogs

Saturday, October 4 – Alberton Oval, 7:15 pm ACST

Preview:
Port let a winnable game slip against St Kilda, showing their inconsistency again.

The Bulldogs shocked Collingwood with one of their best outings in ages.

Port’s defence is leaky under repeat entries and the Dogs have found their scoring touch.

This feels like a real chance for the Dogs to go back-to-back.

Richmond vs. Adelaide Crows

Sunday, October 5 – IKON Park, 1:05 pm AEDT

Preview:
Richmond were second best against Brisbane and still lack depth beyond Conti and Brennan.

Adelaide are humming, with Marinoff and Hatchard leading the charge in midfield.

The Tigers will try to make it a scrap but the Crows’ class is overwhelming.

Expect Adelaide to own territory from the start.

Geelong Cats vs. Carlton

Sunday, October 5 – GMHBA Stadium, 3:05 pm AEDT

Preview:
Geelong were stunned by Hawthorn last week and will be desperate to respond at home.

Carlton took care of Fremantle with some of their best football of the season.

The Cats have more weapons but the Blues’ midfield is building confidence. This could be closer than expected.

West Coast Eagles vs. Collingwood

Sunday, October 5 – Mineral Resources Park, 5:05 pm AWST

Preview:
West Coast crushed GWS and will be full of belief on their home deck.

Collingwood were humbled by the Bulldogs and have real questions to answer.

The Eagles’ forwards are finally finishing their work. Collingwood need Bonnici and Cann to lift to steady things.
