They might be a long way back but both Port Adelaide and Carlton remain marginally in the finals hunt and face off in a huge battle on Thursday night, before the Swans look to continue their mid-year resurgence against the Dogs at the SCG on Friday night.
Elsewhere, the Suns will be looking to bounce back from two straight defeats when they host the Dees, the Hawks host the in-form Roos down in Tassie, and the Pies will aim to extend their margin at the top of the table when they welcome West Coast to Marvel Stadium.
Our experts share all of their wisdom with you to help guide your tipping.
EXPERT TIPS:
Jake Michaels
Season total: 87
Certainty and why: It may be the biggest certainty of the year. Collingwood to flog West Coast at the MCG.

Matt Walsh
Season total: 82
Certainty and why: Pies over the Eagles.

Jarryd Barca
Season total: 87
Certainty and why: Collingwood will win comfortably and it doesn't really need explaining, does it?
Upset and why: The old 'backs against the wall after being smashed in the media all week' game for the Blues, is it? It'll be tough at a ground they historically struggle at, but they're better than Port and will come out firing. I can absolutely see them responding.
