It's another massive round of footy with several key matchups as the finals race heats up. On Thursday night, the Hawks and Magpies have plenty to play for in what's set to be a cracker at the MCG. Brisbane host the Swans in what could be a banana peel game on Saturday, before the Suns and Dockers look to avoid upsets against the Blues and Power respectively.
On Sunday, the Giants will seek a bounce-back win against North, while Adelaide could extend their lead atop the AFL ladder with a game against West Coast.
Our experts share all of their wisdom with you to help guide your tipping.

Season total: 129
Certainty and why: Another percentage booster for the Cats... the question isn't if, it's by how much.

Season total: 127
Certainty and why: The Cats will win the rest of their H&A games a half-strength Bombers won't get close to them at GMHBA Stadium
Upset and why: No upset tips for me this week, but despite their poor form across the last fortnight, I could still make a case for the Power over the Dockers, especially with the game being played at Adelaide Oval.
